Players who were unable to read the word could press the 'w' button to see a list of all of the words and pictures on the level matched together. If they did this then the original question mark block was be collected, however if the player touched the wrong picture then a Gruzzle would appear. The player then had to find the picture that matched the word and touch it. At this point, all of the other blocks temporarily changed into pictures. In order to collect one of the blocks, first the player had to jump into it which caused it to turn into a short word, such as 'pen'. In order to progress onto the next level the player had to collect all seven of the question mark blocks to complete the key and then reach the exit. The game was split into multiple levels, each of which had 'question mark blocks' spread around them.

They could move left or right, as well as jump. The character they control in the game is then a child, either male or female depending on their previous answers. Luckily for them, in this case they are next to each other.Īt the beginning of the game the player was asked to enter their name and to choose whether they were a boy or a girl.
