Summary/How to play[]
Intro clip:
June: Hey Monroe! Ray Ray found this weird thing in the park. Any idea what it is?
Monroe: Well, it's definitely a magic charm. Powerful too-- I can already feel my fur standing on end.
June: Well, then we'd better make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. I'll check the park for any other magical doodads.

Trivia[]
- The graphics and sprites provided resemble the show the most out of all three online games. The jump animation for example is almost an exact copy of Mike Kunkel's key frames from the intro [3] and so are the backgrounds and villain sprites as well.
- The big charms that June collects in the game are actually the belt buckle or charm from Loki's belt in the show.
- The game's elements, graphics, designs, etc. would later inspire a similar game called Code of the Cryptids from The Secret Saturdays. Here are some similarities for instance:
- Both games have three bosses.
- Several of the cryptids in Code of the Cryptids are like The Secret Saturdays equivalent of several of this game's enemies.
- Flashlight Frog - Rock monster
- Madagascar man-eating tree - Octopus-like monster
- Popobawa - Hench-Demon (winged variant)
- Snake cryptids - Demonic dog
- June and Zak both have a gliding ability and an ability to avoid spikes.
