A few months ago, I got hooked by a clever little game on the Garfield website. It's called Garfield's Scary Scavenger Hunt and in it, "you" (as Garfield) walk around a haunted house avoiding monsters and looking for donuts. It took me about forty-five minutes to solve it and I apparently got a lot of you hooked, too. At least, a great many folks wrote to ask for the walkthrough solution I'd written up. Well, I am pleased and perhaps a bit fearful to tell you that the sequel is now online: Same house, roughly the same mission, most of the same monsters…but everything's in a different place and you have to do all different things to get out alive.
It took me about a half hour but some of that was luck. At the end, as your reward, the game lets you download a Garfield's Scary Scavenger Hunt screensaver…which is anti-climactic since you can also download the same screensaver from the margins of any screen. But have fun and keep your eye out for twins of Binky the Clown and cameos by two members of the U.S. Acres cast, one of whom is now apparently an entree. It's a very cleverly designed game.

I took notes so I could whip up a walkthrough for this one but I'm not going to write it out for a couple weeks. Don't even ask for it now. Go solve it yourself. But for God's sake, don't click on the third cabinet from the left in the kitchen.
