This is based on characters created by the British author Lucy Cousins for her picture books series, characterized by bright solid colors and boldly outlined 2D figures and objects. Maisy, a mouse, is celebrating her birthday with four animal friends; the player is invited to join in by using the mouse to play three classic games and participate in three party activities: Treasure Hunt - the player helps each character find a special object; Follow the Leader - as each featured character does a dance move, the player chooses who is doing the same thing; Pin the Tail on the Donkey - the player moves blindfolded characters to the donkey game by following audio directions, then drags the tail into place; Make a Birthday Card - Cyril has forgotten to bring a card for Maisy and must make one; the player helps by assembling and decorating it; Prepare Food - Charlie follows his nose to help Maisy in the kitchen; the player assists by dragging various food to it's matching shape on a party platter; Guess the Presents - as Maisy holds up a wrapped present, the player chooses the best match from a set. At the main screen, the player is able to choose to play the story or select from the games at two levels of difficulty; activities can be skipped and the level changed during the game as well. The focus is on shape recognition, comparing, matching, and creative play. |
