Play in your browser on desktop or mobile. Drag and drop the letters in the T-shirt design, and rearrange them to find the one whose appearance matches the customer. You don't need to play very long: you'll get the gist of it after a minute or two.\r\n\r\nThis game is an homage to my favorite Sesame Street sketch, the Wonderful World of T-shirts:\r\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SfXm5qFZnXQ\r\n\r\nI always liked that the friendly, goofy-looking muppets in Sesame Street are \"monsters\", and the sketch raises all sorts of questions of what it means to be a monster in the world of Sesame Street. Are there other Gorfs besides Kermit the Gorf? If a gorf is a kind of monster, is a frog is a kind of monster? Why is it \"Cookie Monster\" and not \"Cookie the Monster\"? You won't get any answers from this game!\r\n\r\nHints\/instructions: Each position in the word corresponds to a feature. So the first letter might determine the eyes, the second letter the height, etc. Which letter is in each slot determines the value of that feature. These relationships are randomized with each customer.\r\n\r\nThe fact that you have to swap letters means you can't just change one feature at a time: you're always changing at least two. Early stages (3 or 4 letters) you're probably better off just guessing, but you need to pay closer attention in the later stages (5 or 6 letters).\r\n\r\nSound effects: as3sfxr\r\nMusic: autotracker.py","title":"Monster Apparel"}
