Background
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People is based on Strong Bad, the main character of the Homestar Runner universe.
The possibility of such a series was hidden within an easter egg in a Strong Bad e-mail entitled "Shapeshifter." At the end of the video, click on the floppy disk container and a code (3uSyK2RdlUY) appears. This code forms part of a YouTube video URL.
The video, entitled "Strong Bad Gameways," was uploaded by The Brothers Chaps, creators of Homestar Runner. The video shows Strong Bad, dressed like a flight attendant, as he demonstrates the safety of the Wiimote controller. The segment is followed by gameplay video.
Gameplay
Uncover each episode's comedic plot through character interaction, dialog-based puzzles and the use of inventory items. There are also additional activities to keep players busy as they explore the game world. These include e-mails to check, prank phone calls to place and mini-games styled after the arcade games on the Homestar Runner website.
