'''"The big party's tonight... and it's going to be totally fabulous!"'''
''Party Mania'' is a VHSGame for girls centered around getting things done around the house and getting ready for a big party.
Here's what's going on plot-wise. Two boys named Max and Luke have told you, the player, about a party being thrown by the Keller twins, which the whole class is invited to. However, your mother has some chores for you to do around the house, and you can't go to the party unless all your chores are done ''and'' you're ready to go [[RaceAgainstTheClock by 6:00 PM]]. Failure means [[ItsAWonderfulFailure you don't get to go the party and you're stuck at home having dinner with your]] Aunt Franny and the Schlumper family.
Along the way, you could be helped by friends, or hindered by your family. You also have homework and piano practice to contend with. Remember, you have to have all your chores done and be ready by 6:00 PM, or no party.

''Party Mania'' is a VHSGame for girls centered around getting things done around the house and getting ready for a big party.
Here's what's going on plot-wise. Two boys named Max and Luke have told you, the player, about a party being thrown by the Keller twins, which the whole class is invited to. However, your mother has some chores for you to do around the house, and you can't go to the party unless all your chores are done ''and'' you're ready to go [[RaceAgainstTheClock by 6:00 PM]]. Failure means [[ItsAWonderfulFailure you don't get to go the party and you're stuck at home having dinner with your]] Aunt Franny and the Schlumper family.
Along the way, you could be helped by friends, or hindered by your family. You also have homework and piano practice to contend with. Remember, you have to have all your chores done and be ready by 6:00 PM, or no party.
