Snoopy‘s Street Fair for iOS is based on the beloved Peanuts cartoon. The purpose of the game is to build a street fair for the rest of the Peanuts clan to come and have fun.

According to the description on iTunes:

“Help Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the entire PEANUTS gang build and organize a street fair!

In this taptastic adventure you’ll decorate Charlie Brown’s neighborhood and fill it with a wealth of wonderful stalls and attractions. Recruit your favorite PEANUTS characters including Sally, Linus and Lucy, just to name a few.

While the rest of the gang is busy with the fair, Snoopy brings his own brand of mischief to the game. Depending on Snoopy’s costume he’ll pounce on piles of leaves, help redesign stalls dressed as Artist Snoopy or, in the case of his Beagle Scout costume, collect marshmallows with his beagle scout troop in tow. Each costume will also unlock a themed minigame including a lemonade making game, a color mixing game and a marshmallow roasting game.”

You build up the street fair by asking Charlie Brown’s friends to participate in the street fair. Each available character has his or her own street stalls. The more stalls you have, the more Peanuts characters will come, and the more money the street fair will make.

I have been playing this game for about two weeks, and I cannot put it down. I find myself setting financial goals to get more stalls and other stuff to get the fair even more popular. This would be a good game to teach kids (and adults) how to save and spend (real) money while having fun.

The game player has to also invest real money (via in-app purchasing) to help build up the fair.
