Plot

Hacker kidnaps the King of this fractured fairy tale world, and demands a ransom of golden eggs. The Wicked Witch then casts a spell, taking away everyone’s ability to count and making it impossible for the fairy tale folk to gather the required large number of eggs. With the safety of the King at stake, the kids must help the fairy tale folk understand the role of place value in our number system before time runs out!

Errors

In Wicked's images, her eyebrows are not seen.

When Hacker sucks up the eggs to the Grim Weaker, the 7 on the floor changes to a 9.
