Trouble

Trouble wastes no time getting stressful. You can’t even start your turn until you pop a 6 on the die inside of that plastic bubble (which is the only reason you wanted to play the game as a child, anyway) You’re just trying to get home and you can’t!

Try to stay calm while placing 25 shapes inside their designated holes within 60 seconds. The seconds are counted with a LOUD, threatening timer. If you aren’t able to complete the task, then be ready for the tray to POP and scatter the pieces in front of your face as you cry.

Focus on removing ailments with a pair of tweezers, and have your focus interrupted by a terrifying buzzer if you screw up the procedure.

Self-explanatory. Even though it's the Junior version, set aside at least 24 hours and maybe don’t play with anyone you care deeply about.

Don't Wake Daddy

Daddy is sleeping. You want a late night snack from the fridge. Try not to make noise and hope that continuously pressing his alarm clock (and your luck) doesn’t cause Daddy to jolt out of bed.

Madness…it's good that the word, "frantic" was chosen for the description on the game box.
