In Where the Wild Things Are the videogame, players assume the role of young Max as he explores the island of the Wild Things, journeys across its dangerous terrain, overcomes hazardous obstacles and battles fierce creatures. After landing his boat on the mysterious island of the Wild Things – Max quickly befriends these fearsome but loveable creatures and becomes King of All Wild Things. He soon learns that the island is on the brink of destruction and that it’s up to him and the Wild Things to work together to find a way to escape to safety before it’s too late.
