Scarecrow Scramble

What's inside

Every autumn the farms of the county play the old fair game: get the goose into the other farm's pen. Thistle Farm has two scarecrows, Tatters and Bodge, and one goose, Duchess. Nobody ever asked Duchess. One-button ragdoll farm sport: tap and both your scarecrows pole-hop toward her; catch her with a sleeve or a head, then tap in the air to throw her. Throw from close range for a DUNK over the fence. But Duchess has opinions: she wriggles out of the first grab, pecks whoever holds her too long, flaps out of throws, and sometimes flies straight back into YOUR own pen. Two scarecrows crashing fast burst into straw. 30 matches at 5 fairs, each with its own hazards: hay bales at Thistle Green, a mud pond and Big Wendell the pig at Mudbury Fair, gusts on Windle Hill, falling apples in Bramley Orchard (Duchess stops for every one), and a bouncy marquee at The County Show. Each fair ends in a show match with a twist, up to a final with two geese. Mrs Pennywhistle, the fair's announcer, has a line for every match, with story cards and an ending. 3 stars per match, the Daily Fair (the same match for everyone each day, with a streak) and a free Harvest Basket every day. 6 favours that change how you play, 6 outfits bought with ribbons you earn by playing, a 16-page Goose Diary of Duchess's antics and 12 badges. Play solo against the farms or 2 players on one device. In English, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and German. Hand-made plasticine look. No ads before you play and nothing to buy on our site: everything is earned by playing. Original characters and story. By Lunarpip (a trading name of My Task Master Ltd).
