[description]
Vampire Penguins. A Corpse Line. Meltdown on Elm Street. Who could forget
these classic Hollywood movies produced by your uncle, Buddy Burbank? But
his greatest masterpiece has yet to be experienced... Hollywood Hijinx,
starring you!
Your Uncle Buddy and Aunt Hildegarde have passed away, but their memory
lives on in their Malibu mansion, filled with a lifetime of Hollywood
memorabilia. And you've inherited it all, with one stipulation - you can
only claim your booty if you find the treasures hidden throughout the
sprawling beachfront estate. If you can't find the treasures in one night,
you lose the whole caboodle.
It's just the sort of thing you'd expect from Aunt Hildegarde and Uncle
Buddy. And their home is familiar territory: you spent your childhood
summers there with your Cousin Herman. Although some say the house is
haunted, you're not fooled. You know that Uncle Buddy, who wore a different
polyester leisure suit each day of the week, was always rigging the place
with goofy gags and booby traps.
Inside the house, everything is just as glitzy and full of fun as you
remember it to be. There's the luxurious private screening room, the gold-
plated bathroom faucets in the shape of Oscars, and the wacky props from
old Buddy Burbank movies.
The Malibu estate seems like a funhouse at first. But the puzzles you must
solve prove that Aunt Hildegarde and Uncle Buddy weren't just kidding
around. Claiming the Burbank bundle turns out to be quite a challenge - and
it's all in your honor.
Hollywood Hijinx is as zany as its author, "Hollywood" Dave Anderson. It's
cram-packed with puzzles that will test the wits and tickle the ribs of
both first time and experienced players.
