This is the story of two kids searching for their grandpa. During the search they have fun adventures, make friends, and solve puzzles (not too hard).

The graphics, music, and storyline will appeal to younger children and keep their attention. Most of the game unfolds like a cartoon, with interaction required by the player in short intervals. The player then makes choices of character actions or directions from an arrow prompt at the top of the screen. What makes this game especially good for young children is when the player makes in incorrect choice of direction, nobody dies, the game is just over. Game control was very easy using a keyboard, mouse, or joystick, with no difficult setup required.

This game installed properly only in MS-DOS mode, which started DOS drivers. In Windows 98 the install program could not find the sound card (a Sound Blaster), but the rest of the program ran fine.
