Play Pumuckl's Abenteuer im Geisterschloss (Germany) Online

Game Overview

If you grew up with Pumuckl—that invisible, glue-trapped kobold from Bavarian kids' stories—this Game Boy Color game is like stepping right back into his chaotic world. You're basically helping him wreak havoc in a haunted castle, except the ghosts seem more confused than scary. Jump over floating candlesticks, push around suspiciously animated suits of armor, and occasionally trick a specter into bonking itself on the head. Classic Pumuckl.

The whole thing has this weirdly cozy spookiness to it—like if Casper the Friendly Ghost crashed a puppet show. The puzzles are simple but satisfying, and the controls are just loose enough to make you fumble in a way that feels intentional (mostly). It’s one of those licensed games that actually gets the spirit of the character right—no pun intended. Perfect for when you want something lighthearted with a side of nostalgia.
