Play as Melva’s niggling voice
In this choose-your-own-adventure style game, players take on the role of Melva’s niggling voice – making decisions about what she says and does.
When Melva’s best friend, Barnabas, doesn’t turn up to meet her after school, players must help Melva search Scratchicle Town for clues about his whereabouts and why he’s disappeared. As well as choosing the right path, users must also fun complete games and activities along the way to help keep Melva’s worrits under control.

Parents, carers and children all learn
together
The game is designed to be fun and easy to use, but does require some support from family members. It’s important that parents/carers engage alongside their young person, to help them get the most out of the game and to spark important conversations about wellbeing!
Practical games and activities help players to explore relationships, mental wellbeing and how you can support others, whilst still looking after yourself. They are designed to develop and embed learning and are scattered throughout for children to enjoy. The engaging and attractive activity booklets and user guide include suggested discussion prompts, to support and facilitate high quality conversations and reflections from children.
