Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 1983 Edutainment Game by 4Mation for the BBC Micro, Granny's Garden was most commonly played in British primary schools up until the early 1990s. The BBC Micro is gone from the classroom, but 4Mation is still around, and so developed updated versions of the game for Windows and macOS X to use. (There was also an updated version for the Acorn Archimedes, the successor to the BBC Micro.)The story is very simple. You are visiting your grandmother whose garden contains a magic tree. Upon your finding it, the tree transports you to the Kingdom of the Mountains, where the king and queen have been locked away by a Wicked Witch who kidnapped all of their children. It is up to the player, with the assistance of a magical raven, to return all six children to their family.

All There in the Manual: Simple though it is, the backstory isn't explained in the game itself, only in the manual.

But Thou Must!: What is probably the game's main claim to notability is the following gloriously egregious use of this trope almost immediately after starting the game...and it is the first of many.

Fetch Quest: In the last segment, the player is sent to fetch a stone from the hill, and water from the lake.

Fridge Logic: Invoked — the manual suggests "possible explanations for some of the mysteries of the program" as further discussion topics:
