Mumintrollet och den magiska lampan

Mumintrollet och den magiska lampan (Moomin and the magic lamp) is the sixth release in a series of games in the Moomin franchise. The game is based on an earlier Moomin cartoon story of similar name.

The games story is that Snorkmaiden and Moomin are searching for seashells on the beach, and finds an old lamp buried in the sand. When polishing it, a Genie emerges and promises to fulfil a wish, but when the Snorkmaiden wishes for a pearl necklace, the Genie also reveals itself to be a trixter, who has simply taken the necklace from the Fillyjonk, which gets Snorkmaiden in trouble. The intro story part is played in a separate intro section, and the games can be played immediately, without watching the story.

Now the player must help Moomin and his friends to turn things back to order again in the Moomin Valley, which the Genie has messed up. All this is accomplished with several minigames & activities in animated scenes from the Moomins house & garden.

Little My's garden: the player is given a task similar to the game Mastermind, planting new seeds in correct spots after the Genie has removed the plants.

Broken toys: the Genie makes some toys fall apart, and jigsaw or tile-type puzzles are used to put them back together.

The forest: the Genie has transformed some ordinary animals to dangerous-looking species from the djungle, but the player can revert them to their normal forms by feeding them some food they like.

The Moomin house: you are asked to search the dark cellar for hidden objects, using a flash light whose batteries are about to run out.

Some activities are timed, and require the player to react quickly by catching falling items.

In addition to the games, there are some pre-rendered images from the game that can be colourized and printed. There are also three songs from the game that has lyrics to print out.

The main menu also has a brief biography of the original authors and a description of the Moomin franchise.
