Stanley Tiger Tales is a video game released on PC and MAC platforms 2001 based on the Playhouse Disney animated series Stanley. The game was developed by Disney Interactive in association with Artech Studios released in tie-in to promote the animated series during its run on the Playhouse Disney block on the Disney Channel.
Stanley is packing up for the beach with his family and while packing, he becomes worried that he is missing his tiger-themed swimming tube, Theodore. He blames his brother Lionel for taking it, only for Stanley's mother to remind him that it was just misplaced. This leads Stanley and Dennis to help find Theodore across his house so that Stanley can go to the beach with his family. After packing his stuff for the beach and looking hard around his house, Stanley finally finds his tiger swimming tube, Theodore, and later sets out to go to the beach with his family.
Tiger Tales is presented in the style of a point-and-click game where the player must help Stanley find his tiger floatie, Theodore, across his home. Along the way, clicking on certain areas of the game will occasionally bring Stanley into a fantasy sequence where he would imagine himself as in the exploring a wilderness area or as an animal in the wilderness such as a giraffe or a tiger. In addition to mini-games part of the storyline, there game also features optional activities the player could find when clicking on certain areas like short quiz games where Dennis would ask the player a specific question (for example, which leaf was one of the specific colored caterpillars was on) or in other words, they would find other objects Stanley could interact with. The more the player completes the mini-games and finds animal stickers, the more it would help Stanley find Theodore so he can take the floatie to the beach with him. The game is completed when the player finds Theodore after helping Stanley pack his stuff for the beach.
In addition to these methods, the player can also click on the Great Big Book of Everything where they would learn about animal facts so that they could learn more about the animals by looking at their page entries. Players are also able to collect stickers found within certain areas of Stanley's house, which are required for players to play mini-games found at Stanley's backyard. The Book features animals in ABC order showcasing pictures of animals as well as animal facts showcasing what makes animals unique. In addition, it also helps the player keep track of the stickers they collected.
Several mini-games are encountered in the game, which the player will find along the way by clicking on certain props of the area. Completing these mini-games can help Stanley find the supplies he needs for the beach as well as helping him find Theodore, his tiger floatie. While games can normally be played by default, some of them require collecting animal stickers in order to be played. Mini-games that the player has already played before can also be replayed so the player can earn a better score.
