A 77 average that undersells it — ask the 249 people who rated it. A puzzle game that respects your brain — kids on the surface, real logic underneath. Best experienced alone, preferably with nowhere to be.

About this game

The Lion King brings to life the majesty and mystery of Africa through the tale of Simba, a lion cub faced with the challenging transition to maturity. Believing himself to be responsible for his father's death, Simba enters the wilderness - where he finds salvation with Pumbaa the warthog and Timon the meerkat, and his education begins. Take control of the young cub Simba and, through interaction as detailed as the lust terrain, guide him safely through.
