A relic of the early 2000s, Stanley: Wild for Sharks! throws everything at the wall to see what sticks. This means a rapid-fire succession of minigames, each built around a different gameplay conceit, from platforming to puzzle-solving. Its chaotic energy and unpredictability are the core appeal, a madcap approach to game design that makes it a true product of its time.

About Stanley: Wild for Sharks!

View Game Details

Stanley wants to bring his shark model and real shark tooth to school for Show and Tell, but the model pieces are scattered all around the house and he can't find his shark tooth or his friend Lester's animal cards. In this point and click game, the player takes Stanley through the house and out into his backyard to hunt for the missing things. There are many clickable animations and walk-on characters who dole out snippets of information about sharks and other sea creatures. As in Playhouse Disney: Stanley Tiger Tales, clicking on some objects takes Stanley into his imagination, where he pretends to be anything from a penguin sliding on the snow to a sting ray navigating around obstacles on the ocean floor.
