Cartoon Network’s Game On! is ramping up its spook factor with a new Gumball Haunted House game, offering a solo play experience set in a ghoulish Haunted House in Elmore. The game features beloved characters from The Amazing World of Gumball – Darwin, Anais, Gumball, and many more. As players embark on the Haunted House experience, they are greeted by Gumball and realise they are about to undertake a spooktacular mission to escape impending doom. However, players must beware, as a ghost may be lurking nearby. Fear not, for fellow Gumball characters within the Haunted House offer hints and tips to aid in escape. Successfully escaping the Haunted House can earn players a spot on the leaderboard. The Haunted House game is available to play on Cartoon Network Game On! on Roblox now.
There’s more to come from The Amazing World of Gumball! Cartoon Network Game On! is also getting ready for an all-new Gumball Tower Defence game, heading to the metaverse soon.
