The creativity of people is endless, isn’t it? I found a virtual place called, The House of Ghostly Puffin, in a make-believe fantasy world. I believe it is from the game Fable II but I am not entirely certain. Here is how the creator (Solar Dragon) described it,

The House of the Ghostly Puffin is a home in Bowerstone Market in Fable II. It is located opposite of the Vestry Manor and next to Miracle Manor, on the road leading to Fairfax Gardens. The House of the Ghostly Puffin is an okay house, it has a lived in feel, with slight damage to the wall adjacent to the stairwell. The house also has a balcony with a chest on the far right of it.

Now I’ve found three Nintendo DSi Mini-Games you can download that are in addition to the Puffins Island Adventure…

Screenshots from all three mini games

Puffins: Let’s Fish

Chomp your way to victory in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean! Dive into the deep blue sea and load up your beak with delicious fish, but watch out! The ocean can be a dangerous place and you’re not the only one hunting for food. Sharks, jellyfish and other fearsome sea creatures are just waiting to take a chomp out of you. Avoid the predators and use a “Quick Catch” to gulp as many fish as you can while you explore sunken ships and underwater tunnels in this fast paced, old school arcade-style action game. It’s an All-You-Can-Eat feast in two different exciting gameplay modes across 18 underwater stages. So take a deep breath, jump in and come up with a full belly, but remember to look out for those sharks!1

Puffins: Let’s Roll

Baby Puffins need your help! They’re just about to hatch from their eggs, but the eggs have been misplaced! Try not to crack up as you reunite the missing Puffin eggs with their mothers using our innovative new control scheme to roll the eggs in two thrilling game modes (Egg Roll and Capelin Catch) over 20 levels of fiendish puzzles. Watch out for rocks, trees, ice and other hazards as you face challenges from all new obstacles never before seen in Puffins: Island Adventure. Don’t take too long or bump into too many obstacles though, or you’ll have a cranky baby Puffin on your hands!2

Puffins: Let’s Race

Get ready to challenge the speediest puffins on the island for the title of Fastest Flyer! Go beak-to-beak with your opponents in a race to the finish line or go solo against the clock. Use strategically placed power-ups like the “Squawk Shot” to get ahead of the pack and win the race. Speed through four different game modes on eight different tracks to prove your flight skill or challenge up to three of your friends in local wireless play. Do you have what it takes to become the race champion of Puffin Island or will you be left behind with the rest of the flock?3

Puffin Scrambler Puzzle

Oh! It looks simple–9 squares–but once you get started, you will be in for hours of mind-scrambling fun with this puzzle. I couldn’t stop playing…it is not as easy as it looks. Check it out for yourself (click on the picture above!).

It was pretty fun, cute and informative. I learned a lot about puffins as well as about other animals near to the puffin. The graphics are not state-of-the-art but there is some good hand drawn art work throughout and some good photographs.

There are six main categories of fun to choose from:

  1. Jigsaw Puzzle—Here you can put together pieces of a puzzle—always depicting puffins eventually. These puzzles can be as simple as 9 pieces or as complex as 100 pieces.
  2. Storybook—Here you can read (and listen along) to a story about a man’s journey to see the Puffins. It has beautiful black-and-white hand drawn illustrations included.
  3. Safari—Here you can choose easy, medium or hard options to go on a safari with Professor Eggwood where you look through binoculars at animals and choose which animal you are looking at from the four options provided. Each level ends with the choosing of a puffin. Here you learn to identify many different animals both in flight and standing still.
  4. Slider Puzzle—Here you can slide tiles to get the picture perfect. You can choose 9 tiles to 36 tiles depending on your desired level of challenge. The pictures are nice to see after you slide the tiles into the correct place.
  5. Match—Here you can match pictures, like the game of Memory, matching the pictures on the tiles. You turn one over and try to find (or remember its matchint tile). You can choose a game with 6 tiles or 48!!!
  6. Videos—Here you can watch a documentary with our without a voice over — all about puffins.

This game is inexpensive but packed with tons of educational fun, cute games, hand drawn illustrations and hours of game-playing. I would definitely recommend getting this game for all ages.

You can get Puffin Pursuits here.
