Black Cats and Pointed Hats is suited for children from three to ten. Unlike most other educational games, there are no math or logic puzzles to solve.

Prince Frederick of Frivolia has been turned into a frog by the witches of Witchville. To reverse the curse, you have to sneak into the town and give the seven witches responsible for this tragedy a gift. Each part of the town, such as the market place, the barber shop, and the pub, has hotspots which trigger events. The witches will only appear if you find the correct locations.
