The Buffycats have to give a concert but suddenly they find that their instruments have been stolen. Oh, boy… it looks like it's been the wicked Winston and Trappy who have hidden the instruments in a building in the city and now we'll have to get them back. Go in and look around the five stories of this building with one goal: opening all the rooms to get the instruments back. In each floor you'll find 10 rooms that you can only access by solving the different games to get the key than opens each door. In each one of the doors you'll have to complete the three leves of difficulty of each one of the games to win the key that opens the door and go on to the next door. Every time you open one of the doors you'll get a part of each instrument. Solve the 50 challenges you'll find in the building to get the instruments back so that the Buffycats can give their concert. CONTENTS: In the 44Cats app you'll find more than 50 challenges with 5 types of games that will test your abilities and concentration. Find the series: In the ground floor you can have fun looking for the series of elements of different shapes and colors that Lampo will tell you. The size and difficulty level of the board will increase as you solve the different levels. Connect the dots: Go up to the first floor and concentrate to find the path that connects the dots of the same color. Start in this game from level 1 with only one color and go on completing all the levels to find Milady's instrument. To reach the end you'll need much concentration and ability to overcome walls and obstacles on your way. Mazes: In the second floor you'll have to solve all kind of mazes… your great challenge is to find the way to the exit. Prepare to move around endless mazes where it is very easy to get lost. Move around the paths in more than 30 mazes of different shapes and difficulties but with only one mission: to reach the exit and find Meatball's keyboard. Jigsaw puzzles: In the third floor of the building you'll have to solve more than 10 types of jigsaw puzzles and rebuild the images by putting pieces, ordering them or moving them to overcome the different levels.

Every kid is fascinated by a train, especially when it comes chug chugging into the railway station. How would they feel if they could actually meet a train that can talk, sing and dance just like how we do? That is where Bob the Train comes in. Similar to the beloved Thomas the train, Bob loves toddlers as much as they love him, and his favorite time of the day is to visit the kindergarten school and play with his baby friends during their playtime! He is a good friend, the one who teaches your children valuable lessons like their alphabets, colors, shapes and numbers, as well as one who sings a variety of children songs and nursery rhymes to introduce your kids to the different types of animal sounds, opposites as well as the vegetables that they must eat. Bob chugs throughout the land of rhymes with a smile on his face, hoping to turn every kid’s frown into a smile. To allow him to do that, parents, you must subscribe to this channel quickly!
