Ms. Grunkle appears at the beginning and ending of the game. Sometimes after the player completes an activity she flies by on her broomstick to taunt the user, with comments such as, "So, you think you're pretty good at my little games? Well, you haven't seen anything yet!" before flying off. When the player unlocks a new room in Ms. Grunkle's house, she will confront them and send them to the labyrinth.
