About Fancy Nancy: Tea Party Time!
Explore, play and party with Fancy Nancy: Tea Party Time! as Nancy helps her favorite neighbor Mrs. DeVine prepare a marvelous tea party. As Nancy, players will stroll through Fancy Nancy's world in five fabulous mini-games, collecting hidden tea sets, stickers and decorative items that they must eventually bring to the tea party. As they encounter obstacles, players must choose one of six different ensembles, each of which grants Nancy different special abilities to use when collecting colorful beads (or fancies), or to unlock bonus materials.
