In the second in the "What the heck will Elroy do next" adventure series, Elroy's dog Blue has been kidnapped by a criminal gang. They've also stolen his school science project, the Canine Revitalizer. If his friend Sydney and he don't find it and hand it in, they'll get sent to Summer school.

To break into the gang's hideout, you'll have to learn about lasers, batteries, secret codes and special fuels. To make your way through the building, you'll have to figure out mazes and similar doors with the aid of maps and get by surveillance cameras. If you make a wrong turn or get caught, the game will be over. Try to solve puzzles and make it through to rescuing Blue and your school project to attain the best of the multiple endings.
