Premise
CJ and Edison are going to go on a art-related trip to another part of the world in their hot-air balloon, but first need the player's help to find and pack three items that will indicate where they're going.

Description
The game takes place in a strange area full of chutes, ladders, elevators, and other contraptions with which to get around. Edison will give a rhyme or riddle to indicate what item is needed, and the player must guide CJ to that item, pick it up, and bring it back to the hot-air balloon, while avoiding any obstacles that could splash him with paint and require him to make a detour to the shower before proceeding. Every time an item is delivered, Edison will display a picture relating to that item and explain something about it connected to the item's relevance to their expedition. Usually, the last item will be related to a specific kind of artwork created in a specific part of the world. Once three items are collected, Edison will display all three pictures and ask the player a simple question about them. Once this is answered correctly, CJ and Edison's destination is revealed, and they depart to go there, and will send the player a photograph about it before the next round. Two expeditions must be made in order to earn a piece for one of Kisha's rides.
