Playtoons Adventures

Uncle Archibald's Story

This story introduces Ben and his Uncle Archibald, who owns a shop. Uncle Archibald used to write amazing stories about witches, wizards, and all sorts of monsters. He even kept notes about each monster on his computer. Ben and his friend loved to sneak a peek!

One monster really caught their attention: Ogre Kringle, who loved to eat kids with chocolate sauce!

One day, while looking for a secret formula, Ben and his friend accidentally added something from a "little green bottle." BOOM! There was an explosion. Thick fog filled the house, and then the lights went out.

In the dark kitchen, searching for candles, they found a monster! It was Ogre Kringle, looking through the refrigerator and complaining he couldn't find any chocolate sauce. Luckily, Ben and his friend managed to stop Ogre Kringle before he could find his sauce and eat them!

Fearing more monsters from the stories, they called Uncle Archibald and told him everything. Suddenly, they heard a loud thud! The two friends quickly hid in the living room. When the lights came back on, all the monsters from the stories were there, laughing at them! Fatso, a big brown monster, grabbed them.

Just then, Uncle Archibald stormed in! The monsters, scared of their creator, quickly let Ben and his friend go. Archibald warned the monsters that if they didn't go back into their stories, he would send them to a super boring love story. Ashamed, the monsters vanished.

Archibald then explained that the little green bottle held a special spell. It could make anything you imagine come to life!

This game also includes other stories like "The Big Brag," "The Bippolo Seed," "Horton Hatches the Egg," "The Sneetches," "In the Night Kitchen," and "The Munkits."
