Jumanji: The Video Game is the only videogame-within-a-videogame that has ‘Video Game’ in the title. By now you should’ve seen Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, plus the orig Jumanji, and be ready for Jumanji: The Next Level. All of that Jumanji knowledge is critical for helping you get out of this tricky situation. The adventure is conquerable solo, but it is a party best played with pals, so nab jewels, solve puzzles and drop fools. There will be IRL LOLs when epic fails lead to hilarious tales. Mostly, you’ll want to spin it around on all the baddies, especially with Ruby Roundhouse. Her surname isn’t because she lives in a round house – it’s obviously all about her boot-tastic roundhouse kicks! You can also combo Finbar’s ranged skills with Smolder…

In Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, you play as Cal Kestis, a young Padawan. He’s playing a deadly game of hide-and-seek with the Empire. Luckily, he’s got his droid bestie, BD-1, to help. Similar to R2-D2, BD-1 has tricks hidden up his metal sleeve, like scanning for an enemy’s weak points and extra juicy story deets. He can chuck you extra health in a jam, and even become a pulley in a pinch for high speed ziplining! Cal has tricks of his own too. His Force powers are growing, and he knows his way around a lightsaber. You will help him crack epic puzzles in this mystery. Guide Cal from Padawan to Jedi Master. If you are only keen on the official Star Wars tale, jump into the Story Mode…

PEAK METEOR SHOWER PEEK! This incred composite photo collection of the annual Gemini meteor shower was taken at Ming’antu Observatory in China on December 14, 2018. Also known as the Geminid meteor shower, the cosmic event occurs every December as Earth crosses the orbit of 3200 Phaethon, a mysterious space rock. Some people believe 3200 Phaethon is a rock comet, while others think it’s a near-Earth asteroid. It sheds debris when it makes contact with Earth’s upper atmosphere, forming the shooting stars we see in the sky. You can view the shower without equipment if the sky is clear and dark! Lie on your back, look straight up at the sky and give your eyes roughly half an hour to adjust to night vision. Also avoid looking at artificial light,…

ECONOMICALLY SPEAKING Have you seen the gadgets and odd bobs used by secret agents? It’s a lot of loot to carry, and it’s expensive! How many birds have you seen wearing a utility belt, or using a grappling hook? None, obviously! No baggage; no problems. Who needs high tech weapons when you're an avian agent with the power of poop? Need to throw off a pursuer? Dump a bit of bird poo in their path! Use it to temporarily blind an attacker, or gross them out so badly that they flee. APEX PREDATOR OK, so pigeons aren't exactly top of the food chain, but the feral birds are a prime option for a human agent – whether they planned on becoming a pigeon or not. It’s fair to say that…

We’re huge fans of couch co-op games, so why not create a couch co-op game where you move couches (plus stacks of other stuff)? That’s Moving Out! You and your moving mates should totally best the bonkers tutorial, in order to be legitimate Furniture Arrangement and Relocation Technicians, or ‘FARTs’ for short. Moving Out will make you think outside the (moving) box. Sneak a few giant giraffes out of a zoo, and after that, it’s up to your personal approval for how you run the removal. Is there a wall in your way? Smash and tear it down. Need to shift an item outside? Just go ahead and toss it right out the window. Certain stages will let you use portals to teleport things too. You can shift things around…

Crank up the heat on this sizzling food-building platformer that’s deliciously easy to learn, but devilishly tricky to master! Anyone else getting hungry? Games that are too EZ can feel like a fizzle, but BurgerTime Party! turns up the sizzle through steadily stacking challenges. The basics of chef school teach you to control Peter Pepper with pots, pans and platforming. It’s all about the platforming. Dash over an ingredient and it will drop a level. Drop ingredients to score points. You will be stacking gold star level ratings in no time. Things get much spicier from there. Angry ingredients will pile out of the bin just to get in your way. Hot-headed hot dogs will follow your every move. Prickly pickles move in tricky, trashy patterns. Egg-stremely aggressive eggs shuffle…

People usually brag about climbing mountains, but that’s slow going as far as we’re concerned. That’s why we’re all along for the ride in Lonely Mountains: Downhill. Mount a bike and tear down hilly tracks. Steer into the clear as you conquer tight trails through dense forests and stay dry next to raging rivers. You’ll have to land jumps... or end up flying over the handlebars. Oh, and you’ll deffo wanna master corner sliding to stay on the track. We love how Downhill’s physics feel different depending on where you’re riding. Plus, they let you slide through mud, power-pedal over massive gaps and bounce between big boulders. There are different bikes to unlock. Love speed? Prefer high drops? Favour off-track over on-trail? There’s a bike for all of that! Match…

GO FIGURE One night I left one of my favourite LEGO minifigs on the floor. My mum stepped on it and snapped the arm in half! Jim, Vic UNLUCKY! POND PROBLEM I was at the park with my best mate. We were messing around near a pond when he tripped and accidentally pushed me in. The water was murky and cold – so gross! Kate, Tas SO UNLUCKY! PROS AND AIR CONS I was playing soccer with my mates. When I ran to get the ball, I hit my head on the side of an air conditioner unit. I had to get three stitches in my head! Mitchell, NSW HEAPS UNLUCKY! SNACK SNAFU I was at camp with my mates, eating some two minute noodles. They were hot and I…

STAR WARS SCREAM SABER We obviously can’t talk about Star Wars gear without mentioning lightsabers! If you love epic battles with sound effects, check out the Scream Saber. It has three sound modes, including screeching Porgs and roaring TIE Fighters. If you want to make your own combat sounds, you can record hilare sound effects! ACADEMY STAR WARS INTERACTIVE LIGHTSABER BATTLING SYSTEM If you’re serious about wielding a lightsaber, why don't you try training with masters? Use the Interactive Battle Lightsaber with the free Lightsaber Academy app, and choose a Jedi or Sith master. Remember to check with a parent or guardian before downloading any apps!

Pesky Plankton is up to his old criminal tricks again. This time, he has an army of big bad robots. Some have shocking skills like, uhh, shocking you, and others have giant hammer arms for trying to splatter SpongeBob – and his friends. That’s right, SpongeBob isn’t alone in this battle. He also has the help of his underwater besties, Sandy and Patrick. Poor Patrick has actually managed to lose so many socks, the stinky secrets are treasures in Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated. This Rehydrated romp isn’t just a familiar splash of old-school awesome. The game has got a shiny new look (obvs), and also a new couch co-op horde mode against waves of enemies. There’s some restored content clipped from the original game too, like a dramatic…

We love Minecraft and we love Pokémon GO. Craft these games together and you get Minecraft Earth. With your smartphone or tablet, turn IRL into ‘IML’ – In Minecraft Life! A few speedy taps will mine the right resources, and then you can get to work on the crafting part. Early on, you’ll build smaller structures, but the more you collect, the more XP you mine and the more XP you score. Level up and unlock epic new builds, then tweak them on an IRL tabletop and blow them up to legit building size outside. Later, you can actually make them explode too, if that’s your jam. Our favourite part is finding new Adventures to play. Adventures are rad quests that are larger than life – or, well, as large…

This unusual sight is a group of sperm whales taking a nap near Mauritius Island in the Indian Ocean! This photo was taken in November 2011, but researchers first witnessed this odd sleep behaviour in 2008. Scientists accidentally discovered a group of sleeping sperm whales when their boat drifted into a pod of six whales, just below the surface off the coast of Chile. The animals didn’t respond or move when the scientists approached them in the boat, but once the boat brushed against a whale, all six quickly woke up. We now know that a group of sperm whales will doze with their tails down, suspended and drifting upright for 10-15 minutes. The whales don’t breathe or move at all during their nap! K-Zone is awesome! – Shanaz…

BOTTLE ROCKET Put a plastic bottle of water on a table and tell your prank victim you will be magically placing a coin in the bottle without removing the lid. Put a coin under the bottle, put a towel over it and say ‘Shazam!’ Remove the towel and lid. When the victim looks inside, squeeze the bottle! TAPE ESCAPE Place sticky tape so it half-covers the spout of a cold tap. When your victim turns on the water, it will direct a spray straight at them, then blast the tape loose! Don’t stick around to watch the results. MISBEE HAVIOUR Apply a bit of honey under doorknobs around your house and then just watch as the super sticky situation unfolds. If anyone asks, mention that you did see a swarm…
