Quandary Review by Rosemary Young

" I haven’t looked at a Putt-Putt game for a while, not since Putt-Putt Travels in Time, so I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It’s a simpler adventure aimed at a narrower age group, children 3 to 6. The advantages are two fold. Aiming specifically at this pre school group allows for the game to be more manageable by younger players with perhaps less need for parental help. It also means that there is now a more targeted range of Humongous Interactive Learning Adventures to train up future adventure game players :-) Putt-Putt for the youngest, Freddi Fish and Pajama Sam for the next step up and, of course, Spy Fox for big kids. Something for everyone!"

"The story opens with Putt-Putt and Pep returning home from a birthday party. Putt-Putt is happy, Pep is sad. Of course Putt-Putt wants to know why Pep doesn’t share her joy. It transpires that the reason for Pep’s sadness is because he’s never had a Birthday Party of his own. We don’t even know the date of Pep’s birthday because he was lost when he was found."

"But all is not lost, however, Putt-Putt soon meets up with Mr Kibble and together they plan a birthday surprise. It just happens that tomorrow is the anniversary of the day Pep was found, a good excuse for a celebration. Of course there’s now work to be done to organise a fabulous party."

"Putt-Putt: Pep’s Birthday Surprise is vibrant and colourful with a collection of equally colourful characters to meet on the journey. It’s a worthy challenge for pre-schoolers and a particularly good game choice for a young first time adventure game player."
