What you don't know
You've probably never heard of this game as I hadn't. We just so happened to be strolling thru the store and my younger ones started going nuts over it probably because of the cartoon network effect that gleams from it. I thought, what the heck, why not. Got it home, unwrapped it and popped it in. Was I in for a surprise. Each stage is a puzzle. You've got to try different things to get thru it all. It's definitely been a game that my whole family enjoys. It's been addictive and fun and absolutely worth every penny.
