Features:
Scrubs is the official game for the hit TV sitcom of the same name. Featuring all the cast, a variety of familiar rooms and challenging gameplay, it’s a kind of detective game with an injection (geddit?) of humour.
The game gets you to explore various rooms within the Sacred Heart Hospital. In each you are challenged to find a number of items in the usually strewn mess before you. Whether it be food items, coins or toys, there’s loads to identify and find. It’s not simple kids game either, some items are insanely tricky to locate and can take some time and patience. There is help at hand however, and you can earn bonuses and clues should you need them.
There are plenty of cool little mini-games too, so the gameplay doesn’t become too mundane. There’s a nice variety of these so it’s a great way to waste time and is also very engaging. The atmosphere in the game is very easy, there’s no pressure and it’s lots of fun to explore. What shines though in the game most often is the humour. It’s incredibly charming so expect more than a few giggles as you play. Definitely check out the video for a better idea of the game. There is a free version to try out too, so definitely give a look.

Fun Factor:
Scrubs is huge fun to play and full of intuitive gameplay and humour. With the additional mini-games it often feels like several small games rolled into one, there’s always plenty to do.
Addictive:
The mini-games are mildly addictive, but there’s something deep and compelling about the detective elements of the game. Some items are incredibly tricky to identify and I often became very engrossed in the game as I searched for them.
Graphics:
The graphics are incredibly polished and the menu’s, etc. are great. The mini-games are a little on the basic side, but there’s quite a few of them. Most gameplay is involved in finding items. You do this with beautifully designed backgrounds that are often cartoonized versions of actual Sacred Heart Hospital rooms.
Accelerometer, Vibration & Sound:
There are small sound effects for identifying items and during mini-games. The soundtrack is a gentle acoustic track that’s not a million wards away from the theme tune of the show. It’s nice, gentle and doesn’t become annoying (which is massively refreshing!)
