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.
