The Try Group's site uses a simple Flash "game" to deliver their central idea: that children should be encouraged to look at the world in different ways. There's a little more info at the developer's site.
Neat concept, and also just fun to poke around in for a little while.

that's really neat, Su. I highly recommend the bubble game in the first round. I didn't know what to do, but it was delightful.

BTW, if you do change your name to su, it means vinegar in Japanese. Thought you might wanna know.

I'm glad to see something on the web has stood the test of time. I think this was one of the first pieces I saw coming out of funny garbage and it got me hooked on them. They have a way of using shockwave and flash for good and not evil - like Pink Donkey (which I can't find full clips of at the moment) and other Web Premiere Toons. They also seem to have a sense of humor about this whole web thing too.

(and btw, willing to try is actually done in shockwave and not flash)

Ooh, this should be our new tag-line (I work at Funny Garbage). I'll have to forward your kind comments on my co-workers here.

I went through a couple of sections, then something began downloading forever. After 20 minutes I stopped it. Perhaps a warning that broadband is required?

That's odd. The animation's so simple, you should probably be able to get the whole thing in one drop, even on dial-up, especially considering children probably wouldn't have the patience you did. Then again, I do have broadband. Anyone else had this happen?

Geez, can't they just stand on desks or something?
