Outnumbered! is an educational computer game by The Learning Company designed to teach children mathematical computation and problem solving. The player must navigate through the Shady Glen Television Station and collect clues to find the Master of Mischief, while avoiding the walking television Telly and the electrified Livewire.

[edit] End Scenario

At the end of a game session the player chooses the room where they think the Master of Mischief is hiding.

If they are correct, the Master of Mischief reveals himself and converts their remaining power and time into points. The Super Solver then shoots him with their zapper and he disappears.

If they are incorrect a camera in the ceiling blasts a hole in the floor underneath the Super Solver, causing the Super Solver to fall out of sight.

[edit] Trivia

The music played in the rooms are based on Rachmaninoff's variations on Paganini's 24th Caprice.

The music played in the halls is from Mozart's 40th Symphony, specifically, its first and fourth movements.
