The game involved up to 60 players who controlled jellybean-like creatures and competed against each other in a playground called the Blunderdome in a series of randomly selected mini-games, such as obstacle courses or tag. Players were eliminated as the rounds progressed until, eventually, the last remaining player would be crowned the winner.
