Benny’s idea of a good day at school is when things are calm, predictable and boring. But today is not one of those days. You see, Benny has zero control over what is about to happen. But you do!

Just how bad is Benny’s day going to get? Well, that’s up to you to choose. Because with you in charge, things are about to turn dramatic, or funny, or gross, or perhaps just plain weird!
