These short stories are original Wrong Package mini-adventures inspired by the kinds of objects that can appear in the game.
The Penguin’s Umbrella
A package arrived at an icy research station addressed to “P. Penguin.” Inside the paperwork promised protection from rain, which seemed useful until everyone remembered the recipient spent most of the day swimming.
The Birthday Cactus
The party decorations were ready, the cake was iced, and one final gift sat on the table. The label said “soft and cuddly.” The first clue said it stored water. Everyone moved their chairs back.
The Mysterious Toaster
Tony received a box that made absolutely no noise when shaken. The clues mentioned breakfast, electricity and two slots. By Clue 4, everybody was suddenly hungry.
The Very Lost Telescope
A long package arrived with a sticker saying “LOOK UP.” It had travelled through three suburbs, one post office and somebody’s garage before finally reaching the person who actually wanted to see Saturn.
The Football in the Freezer
Nobody knew why the parcel felt cold. The first clue mentioned a field, not a kitchen. By the time someone guessed football, the package had become the world’s least useful ice pack.
The Alarm Clock Holiday
The alarm clock finally took a holiday by accidentally being shipped to a beach house. Unfortunately, it still rang at 6:00 every morning, so nobody else got a holiday.
The Balloon Delivery
The package looked almost empty. Then the clues started talking about parties, air and popping. Tony decided opening it with scissors was probably a bad idea.
