Description from the packaging.

Think like a scientist with zillions of bouncing Bumptz.
Kids become scientific thinkers as they join zillions of Bumptz on an intergalactic field trip to the Great Galaxies Amusement Park. Over 200 animated puzzles with three skill levels let kids experiment with light, buoyancy, gravity, and magnetism - all while helping the Bumptz explore rides and find spaceship parts. There's even a construction kit to let kids create their own science puzzles.

Photo-O-Tron.
In this ride, Bumptz behave like light - bouncing, splitting, changing colors. Kids experiment with prisms, lenses, filters, and mirrors to help Bumptz find the way out.

Bubblearium.
In this buoyant underwater attraction, kids use clams and inflator fish to squish air in and out of floating Bumptz, helping them sink or float to the Bubble Bar.

Viewscope.
Click on this to watch 12 animated science movies about the properties of buoyancy, light, and magnetism and how they really work on Earth.

Magnet-O-Whirl.
Drawn by magnetic forces, zillions of Bumptz spill into this ride. Kids arrange magnets, conveyor belts, bumpers, boxing gloves, and more, to guide Bumptz toward the Fuffy Stand.

Great Galaxies Amusement Park.
