About this app

Hey Doc, Cavity Sam needs your help! Make him better or get the buzzer!

If you grew up with Hasbro’s classic OPERATION board game or have kids who are working the tweezers as we speak, this engrossing app brings a childhood favorite to life! Just like the board game, the app tests kids’ hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills but also unveils twelve entertaining short tales!

Transformed into an exciting tactile app experience, the OPERATION App delivers everything you remember and more including the classic ailments and the nail biting ‘tweezer’ tension! Remember carefully trying to remove Sam’s ailments? Now you can try with a set of virtual tweezers! If you touch the side, Sam’s nose lights up. You hear the familiar buzzer and feel your device vibrate in this beautiful tactile experience.

Kids learn what each ailment means as Cavity Sam gets personal and ‘spills his guts’ on all twelve of the classic ailments. A fun rhyming narrative introduces the user to Cavity Sam’s peculiar situation and how he ended up in each mess. ‘Read along’ medical files give you and your emerging reader the story behind Cavity Sam’s every ache and pain and a fun way to practice those fine motor skills. Fix him quick!! He will be so glad.

Return to the operating table after every successful operation to pick the ailment you want to tackle next! There are twelve different ways to make Cavity Sam feel better and a relatable story behind each one! Plus, every successful operation includes an easy to read ‘lesson learned’ that kids can use to stay healthy and strong in their own lives.

The new OPERATION app delivers all the classic ‘buzz’ you can handle with ‘virtual’ tweezers, but so much more!

Features include:
• All twelve classic funny ailments, including Charlie Horse, Adam’s Apple, Spare Ribs, Wrenched Ankle, Butterflies in the Stomach, Water on the Knee, Writer’s Cramp, Pulled Muscle, Broken Heart, Wish Bone, Bread Basket and Funny Bone!
• Maze: Navigate Cavity Sam’s insides to find and remove his ‘ouchies’
• Surgical camera: Focus the surgical camera to find what’s gone wrong (and make it right)!
• Deliver medicines: Tilt your device to move the treatment to the right spot!
• Eliminate germs: Swipe away the pesky bugs that are keeping Cavity Sam down!
• Cavity Sam, brought to ‘achy breaky’ life!
• Twelve different ways to fix up Cavity Sam and make him feel better!

I like another reviewer CANNOT BELIEVE I paid for this. Not only is the rhyming getting annoying but the menu is extremely simplistic. For a paid app you'd think they'd have more features? There needs to be a non-story mode setting where you don't have to listen to all the Rhymes and wait to go to the next screen. Just a free play mode for all the games.

Surprisingly this game retains key elements of the board game. I like how it tries to educate the young children that are the target audience. Having said that, this game should have an advanced mode that disables the prompts telling you what to do before you navigate the tweezers, removes the camera mini game, and makes you restart if you buzz.

Edit: I should had read reviews before installing but I assumed it works because it's a Hasbro product. Is this a scam? Chose the "spare ribs" option of the game. Touched but could not move the spare ribs image in the maze. It's nonresponsive. Touched on the "back" arrow to go back. That worked. It's matter of principle that game owner should issue refund for game that did not work.
