About Once Upon A Wall

An egg, a wall, an epic fall…..

In the topsy-turvy world of Lost Sandwiches, Hum-T is determined to build the biggest wall ever seen. There’s just one problem… the taller it gets, the wobblier it becomes!

Choose your side and join one of two rival dance crews, the Super Stallions or the Royal Rebels. Learn some moves, help build the wall and cheer your team on as the story unfolds…..

This colourful family adventure is full of laughter, imagination and egg-straordinary surprises
