Monster House

Released by THQ in 2006 as a tie-in to Sony's animated feature of the same name, Monster House on the Game Boy Advance is an action-puzzle game in which players take turns controlling three protagonists — DJ, Chowder, and Jenny — as they venture inside a house at the end of the block that has come terrifyingly alive. Viewed from a 2D top-down perspective, the game is divided into multiple rooms where players collect items, evade possessed furniture and traps, and solve jigsaw-style puzzles to advance toward the soul at the heart of the house. The pacing is light and accessible, staying faithful to the film's story throughout.
