From the creator of Treasure Box—an engaging and clever interactive Flash puzzle that showcases the author's artistic talents—comes another such piece with a clearer objective than its predecessor.

Created by Wada che Nanahiro, TCB Museum stands for Things Came Up to My Brain Museum, and just as the name implies, it is an imaginative work of art filled with sights and sounds that include various puzzles to solve. The objective is to find all 5 stars and then place them onto the wheel of fortune.

Like the Treasure Box before it, TCB Museum is an odd little world ripe with curiosity and discovery. The puzzles are fewer but more involved than the first. The repetitive background music gets a tad annoying and it's not looped correctly, and so it jars your attention every time it cycles. The platform jumping puzzle will frustrate some, and the frog puzzle still has me perplexed. Still, it's a wonderful little diversion for those who are fascinated by these types of Flash games (and who isn't?). Click.

Update: The links for this game keep changing. I've just updated them again. Hopefully it will stay put for a while this time. Enjoy. =)

Arrgh! This is a different version of the game than I've seen before. I dont think the frog type things do anything in either versions though. They are put there to confound and baffle us. The music is really annoying though, isn't it?

You can move the apples from their frames and feed them to the frogs. They are color coded by frame (apples in light colored frames go to the frog in the light frame and apples in dark frames go to the frog in the dark frame). Once they are fed, you can open the little door in the frame between the frogs to find a star.

ok i've got a star from the bathroom, from the robot, from the apples, and from the little game that you jump on stuff. so wheres the last one?!

Posted by: kate | March 9, 2005 5:33 PM

The last one is on the statue of the woman. You have to press on her and then she will give a star. I don't understand what to do when I have all the stars. I put them in the wheel of furtune and then nothing happens..??

Posted by: mattie | March 11, 2005 5:56 PM

I think the link you have in your review may need to be changed; when I clicked it I ended up somewhere else. I think it might have been removed from that site and given its own here: http://219.101.39.52/~nanahiro/tcb/

Thanks very much Cris. I have updated the entry with the new link.

Posted by: heather | May 12, 2005 12:18 PM

Posted by: evilGOO | June 2, 2005 4:22 PM

This was really nice game, too easy maybe. I love those drawings!!! But the music is awfull...maby that's why i did it so fast...

Posted by: mirkku | June 20, 2005 7:07 AM

was it really necessary to click on the woman's boob?

Posted by: Francesca | July 23, 2005 6:48 PM

i really don't understand the jumping puzzle... just what exactly are you supposed to do?

Posted by: eli | July 28, 2005 11:08 AM

This game was cute but what was with all the topless women? The statue and then the Wheel of Fortune women need to get some clothes on!

Posted by: Kim | July 28, 2005 8:48 PM

Fun!

Posted by: Mountain Girl | July 30, 2005 10:12 PM

i really like your games (and the dog/robots vid ;) )
the first level of the jumping game wouldnt work
for me, "the guy" wouldnt move at all.
luckily when i right clicked and selected play it
skipped the the first level and the others worked.
objective: get as far to the right as you can, a
star is waiting :)

oh and the wheel of fortune won me a woman :D
great :D

(to you women having problems with nude women being depicted: make a game with nude men and everyones
happy)

Posted by: maryam | August 28, 2005 7:52 AM

Help needed here please...

Posted by: mint | September 4, 2005 5:59 AM

Love the campy artwork, especially the loo. More fun than challenging, I hope to see more from Nanahiro.

Posted by: erin | September 14, 2005 12:38 PM

beat all of the stars with no hints exept for the naked woman statue star needed one hint for it

Posted by: chris | September 17, 2005 6:22 AM

great game! done it easily, it wasn't difficult at all. graphics are a-w-e some. Music is annoying tho.

Posted by: yulz | December 4, 2005 10:13 AM

i can't tell you how long i have waited for a game i can actually finish without resorting to you guys for the answer! It must be an easy one. The nipple tweeking was a bit much, though!

Posted by: boredmum | December 11, 2005 5:38 AM

i really despise that jumping game. errrrgh.

Posted by: rae | January 5, 2006 12:07 AM

I liked this game. I was able to complete it without any hints....which is good for me. The artwork was pretty cool!

Posted by: glommie | February 5, 2006 6:49 PM

Posted by: venom | March 27, 2006 3:38 AM

Strange, but cute. It strongly amused me that you can turn the wheel women upside and make them nude. And the people on the toilets were very amusing, did you know if you open a door many times it will change the person inside? xD

Posted by: Kitty | March 9, 2007 11:35 PM

A cute little game! But the ending doesn't make any sense!

Posted by: TaladorPhoenix | April 24, 2007 7:16 AM

how do i get the star on the balcony? i have the frog, the statue, the robot, and the bathroom.

Posted by: garrett | May 28, 2007 2:51 PM

Woohoo! I got them all!

you get one star from opening all the doors in the bathroom, one from feeding the apples in the right or der to the frogs (bottom right corner apple to the lady, then bottom left to man, then top left to lady, then top middle to man, then bottom middle to man, then well.. you know), one from going up the stairs and getting a coin, which you then put in the robot, he will send up a balloon, you gotta go after it up the stairs to get the star, one from squeezing the statue's tit, and then one from finishing the jump game

Posted by: willy | July 23, 2007 10:49 PM

HA! What a hilarious ending.

It totally cracked me up when these folks in Victorian dress flew off in a rocket.

Wonderful graphics. Wish it had been a bit longer.

Posted by: dsrtrosy | October 23, 2007 11:39 PM

What a lovely little game! Reminded me a little of Menulis and Miestas. Fun, and not too hard, which gives plenty of time to focus on the pretty lineart.

Posted by: Architectonic | November 28, 2007 10:49 AM

Whimsical and fun!

Posted by: Czaerana | January 9, 2008 4:00 PM

I absolutely love games like this. It was fun, short, mildly pointless, oddly amusing . . . and quite strange. The artwork was fantastic, though.

Jay, you have great taste.
