A package is delivered to Purple Panda from his Uncle Panda on Planet Purple -- equipment to play bobbly ball! Players must use nets to catch the floating bobbly ball. When the ball is caught, big surprises happen!

Donkey Hodie and Purple Panda find bobbly ball to be a more challenging game than they initially expected. Donkey finds a note from Uncle Panda that explains the key to catching the bobbly ball -- keeping their eyes on the ball. With some practice, they are able to better understand how the bobbly ball moves.

Uncle Panda also suggests practicing the proper ways to swing the nets. Practicing this technique as well allows them to gain enough skill to catch the ball. The surpirse is a visit from Uncle Panda!
