## The story

The box back looked like a normal maze until you pointed a phone at it. Then the mascot jumped off the cardboard and ran around the kitchen table on the screen. You collected floating marshmallows by tilting the phone. It drained the battery fast and parents had to be convinced, but every kid wanted to try it before school.

## Fun fact

Scanning the box upside down made the mascot appear upside down, a glitch kids loved more than the actual game.
