Help green-fingered Polperro, a kind of New Age person, with
his gardening. The wise Gampa will teach you famous sights
and you can assist him taking photos of animals.
In the Atelier you can be creative while helping the artistic Looe
with painting and sculpturing. Bodmin, the little one, will teach
you the numbers in a funny rubber-duck game and will let you
drive his sporty buggy.
And last but not least you can relax with Mena and listen to
some bedstories in her big library. You will see, the land of the
Fungooms is full of surprises and originality.

The games are very simple to play and are focused to use
the computer-mouse efficiently. Furthermore they have a very
educative effect on children. Also the levels are easy to pass so
that children are not getting frustrated. Older kids may already
enjoy the challenge of collecting all the stars.

Interactivity and games are today a part of children's culture
and we appreciate that there are people who are supporting
children in a good way. According to new studies games can
give useful skills like team-work, strategic thinking, creativity,
imagination and innovation.
The Fungooms are a good possibility to explore and discover
together a new world and the games give you an occasion to play
with your child and talk about all the things which are appearing.
