Best.Game.Ever

Best. Game. Ever. was a Total Drama Action game, exclusively available on the Cartoon Network website. The game was first released on June 12, 2009. The game ran off the same engine used to create Cartoon Network's previous massive multiplayer online game, Big Fat Awesome House Party. The game was removed from the website in May 2012 but was eventually rediscovered.

Overview

In the game, players portrayed a new intern working for Chris. Players could interact with the castmates, battle enemies, complete challenges and tasks, and buy power-ups, almost like Total Drama Island: Totally Interactive! from season one. Challenges came about weekly in accordance with the episode that was on that week.

Challenges

BGE 253x189

Every Thursday, Chris gave out a few objectives for players based on that day's challenge.

After completing the challenge, Chris gave the players one star. Players would be promoted if they had enough stars.

After completing each objective, players talked to Chris about the next assignment for the challenge.

Alliances

Trivia

  • As of November 2019, the game has been found and is currently playable on BlueMaxima's Flashpoint.
  • As of May 2012, the game has been removed from the Cartoon Network website.
  • Despite being voted off the show, the eliminated cast members remained in the area.
  • When talking to the cast, most of them quoted themselves from an episode of Total Drama Action.
  • Beth used to be standing next to the boys' trailer, but then she stood near the restroom with Lindsay.
  • The game had a feature that allowed players to make and break alliances with the cast. Originally, it was supposed to be activated on week five. This was changed to week nine.
  • All cast members (excluding Gwen, DJ, Lindsay, Owen, and Justin) that made it to episode seven appeared in studio #5.
    • It is strange that neither Gwen nor Lindsay were locked in a cage or even appeared in the studio even though they participated in the challenge.
  • The items Chris had the player get during week six were old items from the first season. These included:
  • When buying clothes from Chef's power-up machine, the word "suck" was shown, a word usually censored by Cartoon Network. Also, Chris says "sucker" and Heather calls the Gaffers a "team of morons."
  • The design for the female avatar player loosely resembled Sadie's prototype design and the male was based on Trent and Tyler's design.
  • When the game was first introduced, Heather was wearing her wig. She then appeared bald in it as a result of losing it in Alien Resurr-eggtion.
  • Studio #6 is the first studio to have an intersection.
  • When a player opened the Ally section on the main menu, there were fifteen spots for frenemies instead of fourteen, hinting Courtney's return.
  • According to what happened in the game, The Trunk of Mind Blowing Secrets did contain something within it, but the contents were destroyed during the testing of paint bombs. Chris then decided to just let the cast battle for the empty chest. He also tells the player not to tell the cast it's empty.
  • If players become a cast member's frenemy, the picture of them is simply the picture used to show they are their ally. The only differences are that their smile is turned upside down and the border is orange instead of green (the only exceptions are Heather, Trent, and Leshawna's photos).
  • On week twelve, when DJ was in the kitchen, Chef was in the lot instead of DJ.
  • If a cast member asked the player to defeat a certain amount of spiders in a studio, and the player falls for a trap set by a frenemy, the spiders defeated in the trap would still count toward the player's goal (unless the player was in a different studio than their ally instructed them to be in).
  • DJ's secret ingredient is revealed to be paprika. However, this was later revealed in the show during The Aftermath: II.
  • Some characters are used for messages for the game. For example, Gwen was shown on the error message and Duncan appeared when a guest is being asked if they want to remain as such.
  • Studio #8 and Studio #23 are the only two studios to have designs on more than just the front. There are cracks on the roof for Studio #8, and there is a Television Antenna and a faded dot on Studio #23.
  • Studio #10 is the first studio to have prop studio buildings in it.
  • Studios #3, #4, and #5 are the only studios to have two types of opponents in them.
  • Studio #17 is the first studio to have a separate room that can be entered.
Error

  • Even though Izzy hates Justin, she never pulls pranks on him (Although, if Heather is a frenemy when the player has a task from Izzy, she picks Justin) What's stranger is if both Heather and Justin are frenemies, Izzy's next victim of choice is Beth, someone who Izzy doesn't seem to have a conflict with.
    • This also seems to be the case with the rest of the cast as well. If all cast members are the player's frenemies, they will prank the original target of the member of the player's alliance.
  • The week 16 oil for apple juice prank is similar to the prank Duncan did to Harold in Basic Straining.
  • Sometimes, if the player had just switched genders, when they are attacked, both genders have the same scream.
  • In Studio #14, one half of the super hero's posters resembles Trent's head.
    • Also in Studio #14, the other super hero poster resembles DJ's head.
  • In Studio #14, the super hero stuck in the ground resembles Spider Man.
  • The Bears, Aliens in Studio #1 and Sharks in Studio #3 are the only enemies that make a stomping noise when they move (all other enemies make a skittering noise).
  • In Studio #17, there is a poster with Ezekiel on it.
Picture 34

Ezekiel is on the poster.

  • In Studio #17, the interns are wearing make-up similar to the make-up worn by the American hard rock band, KISS.
  • The Marshmallow stick weapon is similar to the marshmallow boxing gloves in Million Dollar Babies, interestingly enough, the previous weapon, the badminton racket, is also used in that same episode.
  • The description for the badminton racket is a quote from Chris's movie.
  • The kung fu master in Studio #18 is Sasquatchanakwa.
  • The person on top of Studio #17 looks similar to Trent.
  • During week 22, Chris says that the path to victory is "long and twisted, like Heather's wig." This is referencing her second wig.
  • The flux capacitor needed to get in week 23 is a reference to the movie Back to the Future.
  • When the player invited Heather to the party in the finale week, she says that it's the "Best. Idea. Ever," a reference to the game's title.
  • Some of the items Chef's vending machine contains were some items Chris and the campers wore. Some of them are:
  • In the end picture, Duncan's eyes are shown to be wide open, yet in the original picture of Duncan using the same pose, his eyes are at half length. Gwen also has Izzy's large smile.
  • During the pirate challenge, through close inspection, Camp Wawanakwa can be seen in the background:
TDI in the background

Camp Wawanakwa in the background.

  • When the player received a new weapon, the caption with it would sometimes reference a movie, corresponding to Total Drama Action's main theme:

Goofs

  • The player could enter Studio #18 through a closed door. However, the glitch was later fixed. Adding to this, when someone exited Studio #18, they were shown standing in front of Studio #6. This glitch was fixed as well.
  • On the advertisement for the game, DJ was seen holding bunny, however he is never seen with Bunny in Total Drama Action. However, a bunny makes an appearance in Studio #7 during week twelve.
    • In addition, Heather was seen with her real hair in the ad as well.
  • In Monster Cash, Chef says that the bear is only on contract for one more day, however in the southern woods, there are multiple bears who are still on the film set.
  • On the third task of Monster Cash challenge, Chris said "Talk to the intern in the northeastern city." However, the city is in the northwestern part of the area. He most likely meant the northeastern part of the city.
  • When the player exited Studio #3 after making the statue of Chris in the X made of shells, they both happened to disappear.
  • When the player beat the tasks Heather gave on week nine, she gave the player her wig, but she lost it in Alien Resurr-eggtion.
  • Beth first mentions her 'boyfriend' in Masters of Disasters (which is playable on week 10). However on week nine, she says that she wishes her boyfriend were here so he could make things better. But the episode hadn't aired yet, so players in the United States wouldn't know what she was talking about.
  • When a player was a contestant's frenemy due to the contestant being hurt by pranks by the player, the contestant always set a trap for the player, and always shouted: "This will teach you to play pranks on me!" However, when a player ended up being a contestant's frenemy due to breaking an alliance with them, the same phrase was shouted. However, the player never pulled a prank on the contestant, rather broke an alliance with them.
  • When the player gave the joke victim the poison ivy toilet paper, the player headed to the east bathroom, but when the player reported back to the castmate, the frenemy came from the west. The same goof occurred in previous weeks, when the player delivered things to Leshawna and Harold. They came from the west, even though they were standing in the east portion of the set.
  • In Studio #4, there was a hole shaped like Harold on the platform. This is strange because in the original challenge, Harold landed correctly on the horse. The only people who missed were Trent and Owen.
  • In the challenge for Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, there were two go-karts, one green, and one red. However in the game, the player only collects green go-kart parts.
  • For some strange reason, Studios Studio #4, 5 and 6 appeared behind Studio #1, 2 and 3. Also the player couldn't enter them despite the fact they are open already. The glitch was later fixed.
  • In the game, Studio #6 was themed for the episode One Flu Over the Cuckoos. But in the episode, Leshawna walks out of Studio #4 instead of Studio #6.
  • In One Million Bucks, B.C., Heather got a new wig, however she was not seen with it in the area.
  • When getting apples for Chris, the intern said he/she needed to return to Chris after only collecting three of the six needed. This also happened when getting Chris the cans of soda. After collecting the first can, the player claimed he must return to Chris.
  • In Week 21, Chris asked the player to hit the gong in Studio #18. However, there are multiple gongs in the studio.
  • In Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen, Duncan stated that the episode took place at Camp Wawanakwa, it is shown as a studio on Week 22.
  • In Total Drama Action, the castmates easily traveled from the Award Ceremonies to the Lame-O-Sine, but they were on the other side of the film lot in the game.
  • On Week 25, when a player talked to Chris, he said, "Week 25." Then he said that the player earned a star and was promoted to superstar (along with getting a flag for a weapon), without actually doing anything. Afterward, he said there wasn't a challenge for the player that week. Adding to this, speaking to an ally would automatically add someone to the player's frenemy list. Talk to them again, and the player suddenly received the reward, followed by them not saying anything else important. Finally, after all of this, the new studio was still closed. It may be because of the designers needing more time to sort out glitches. This may even mean that the player was unable to do the challenges, and have an incomplete game. This glitch was fixed, however.
  • After winning the game, the "congratulations card" shows Heather with her normal hair, despite her being bald in Total Drama Action.
