In the everybody can do something game, you play an actual Bullwinkle and rocky character, in adventures based on your favorite TV cartoons! Boris and Natasha have another fiendish plan - can Bullwinkle and Rocky stop them? Will Bullwinkle ever pull a rabbit out of his hat? No dice in this game-take a spin on one of the six character-customized spinners to find out how things turn out! The Mr. Know-It-All graduate game gives you even more freedom and flexibility.

Spinners aren't just for kids anymore. Cards: Filed with strange places and unusual happenings! Use them to prompt the action, or to take the story in a completely unbelievable direction. Diplomas: Sort-of-official documents from Wossamotta U., proof that you've mastered the intricacies of Bullwinkle and Rocky role-playing!
