About this game

Dr. Seuss: Fix-Up the Mix-Up Puzzler is an educational electronic sliding puzzle designed for children ages 4–10. Players reassemble scrambled pictures featuring characters including the Cat in the Hat, the Grinch, a Star-Bellied Sneech, the Doorman, the Woset, and Clark.

The game offers five difficulty levels. The easiest allows players to freely mix and match heads, torsos, and feet, while later levels add more pieces, upside-down sections, and the requirement to restore characters to their original left-to-right order. Puzzles range from 9 to 25 pieces, and the fifth level adds a time limit with bonus points for completion within the allotted time.
