What's It About?
PIGLET'S BIG GAME is an adventure game that blends logic puzzles, mind-teasers, and activities into a story about finding ingredients for Rabbit's \"Very Large Soup.\"
Players direct Piglet through the Hundred-Acre Wood as he hunts for six missing ingredients and solves problems he encounters. For example, to get honey for the soup, players need to find something to place across a Woozle Trap so Pooh can get home to give the player a honey pot. To borrow pepper from Owl, players will need to sort Owl's spices in alphabetical order.
Is It Any Good?
Disney produced Piglet's Big Game in collaboration with Hulabee, a software company created by the founders of Humongous Entertainment. Gameplay in this title resembles the type found in the old Putt-Putt and the Freddi Fish games, where players explore, learning things and finding items that will help them solve later logic puzzles.
While not as complex or as in-depth as those older Humongous titles, this software is a delight to explore. Each scene has fun areas to click on to produce animation. The logic activities are age-appropriate and engaging. And when you play a second time, some of the elements change; there is a sense that things remain fresh.
