Adventure to Froggyland

Adventure to Froggyland is a thematic remake of the iconic kids board game Candyland. This new take on the classic point A to point B board game follows the adventures of four frog children: Sponk the pirate, Zuzu the knight, Bongo the wizard, and Tot the fairy princess as they’re playing dress up and navigating through the whimsical forest outside of their home. The goal of the game is to be the first to make it back to the treehouse for snack time; Through the use of silly and unique characters, locations, and the implementation of bright colors and fun card prompts, the players will actively be engaged in nostalgic aspects of play, imagination, fun and adventure. With this project, the artist both welcomes and urges the viewer, no matter their age, to embrace their inner child by delving into the whimsical world that is Froggyland.
