Well, what would you expect to become of a monster sleepover? Yally's mom really should have known better, but Mrs. Yalapappus allowed it and now there are real problems that only begin in her kitchen. Some people wouldn't be bothered by orange juice that smells like peanut butter (and vice-versa) but when flowers in Monsterville start smelling like fish and the dump is a rose garden, there's trouble afoot! It's up to Little Monster Private Eye and Detective Kerploppus to solve this mystery and put a stop to all the smell-switching, and boy, are they glad you showed up!
Features:
- Read, play options
- 7 clues throughout the story to uncover.
- Multiple endings, so it's different each time.
- A fierce sense of humor throughout.
- Mug game - reconstruct the face you just saw!
Reactions:
My kids all love The Smelly Mystery. When I installed and started running it, the three of them appeared to watch, giggle and figure out who the culprit was. Next they begged me to install it on the 486 machine, which I did...it hasn't been turned off since! There are jokes, take-offs, B-movie referrals galore, and super-heroes appear where they're least expected! The title is full of whimsey, music and laughs. If your kids like mystery/adventure games, this is one they shouldn't miss.
