What are Power Play games?
Cartoon Network Power Play games are downloadable games featuring characters from your child's favorite Cartoon Network shows. You can purchase Power Play games through CartoonNetwork.com, then own them forever right on your computer's desktop.

Power Play games are enhanced with features such as full-screen graphics, bonus levels, new characters, plus the ability to save your game and track hi-scores against other players. Best of all, once a Power Play game has been purchased and installed, it can be played directly from the computer's desktop without an Internet connection. That means your kids can play for hours and still keep the phone free for you.

Can I try a Power Play game for free before I buy it?
Yes. Every Power Play game has a free trial that you can download with no obligation and no personal information required. When you open the game, you will see a screen that tells you how much of the game you can play before the free trial ends.

If you like what you're playing, you can follow our easy purchase process by clicking "Buy It Now" at any time. Once your free trial expires, the only way to keep playing the game is to purchase it. Note: Although you don't need to be online to play the game, you will need to connect to the Internet to make your purchase.

How do I download a Power Play game?

Save the file to your desktop, then double-click the icon to begin the short installation process. Once the game is installed, a shortcut icon will appear on your desktop. You will now be able to play the free trial or the purchased game without connecting to the Internet.
