In the dimly lit back alleys of the bustling city, chaos ensues as Don Banano, the larger-than-life mob boss, finds himself in a pickle when his prized fortune is stolen... pointing the finger at none other than Marv the Monkey from the local circus, Banano threatens to rain on everyone's parade by shutting down the beloved spectacle unless his fortune magically reappears.
But fear not, for you, the unlikely hero, are thrust into this wacky whirlwind of mayhem. Your mission, should you choose to accept it (and you kinda have to), is a madcap medley of mischief. You must venture into the zany world of Marv's Circus, and try to wrangle Marv himself, retrieve the fortune, and maybe even unmask the real culprit...
Armed with nothing but your wits you embark on a bizzare escapade where every wrong turn leads to another hilarious hijink. With Don Banano hot on your trail and the clock ticking like a time bomb made of rubber chickens, you must channel your inner circus clown and save the day before the big top comes crashing down. So grab your popcorn and hold onto your seat, because this circus caper is about to get wilder than a barrel of monkeys on roller skates!

Childlike antics - playing carnival games and being swept up in the circus theme. They use all resources in room and some sneaky hiding places - 17 to find! Good luck and have fun!

This room is so much fun! The puzzles are carnival /arcade themed for much of the first half, and there is an hilarious puzzle later on in the game that requires good listening skills!
Lots to do for two people, we were out of breath at the end!
