Wally Bear and the NO! Gang

Wally Bear and the NO! Gang is an educational game designed to teach and encourage children to say no to drugs and alcohol. The goal is for players to overcome obstacles and find Wally Bear’s friends for a party. At times, players come across characters trying to convince them to do drugs and join a gang but using the word “no” helps players escape those dangerous situations.
