About This Game

Extract yourself from another fine mess–this time, with your family watching! When your aunt summons you home, mischief, mix-ups, and bewilderingly urgent capers abound at your ancestral estate.

Jolly Good: Tea and Scones, unwilling to offer you a mere one million words, is prepared to offer you a lavish two million words, each and every one polished to an exquisite sheen! This interactive comedy of manners by Kreg Segall is a standalone sequel to Tally Ho and Jolly Good: Cakes and Ale inspired by P.G. Wodehouse, where your choices control the story. It’s entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

In spite of your terrible scandal, the festive London social club the Noble Gases, has accepted you as a member! What’s more, you have acquired a servant to assist you through life’s little perils and a sponsor to pay the club’s way. Indeed, all seems quite peaceful—until your Aunt Matilda demands your immediate presence at your aristocratic family’s ancestral estate. Multiple crises threaten to shatter your family’s prestige utterly! But no doubt your presence will be just the thing to solve everything and set matters just so.*
*There is some doubt.

You thought club life in London was complicated, but that’s nothing compared to the mischief, mix-ups, and bewilderingly urgent capers you find in the countryside. As you try to set right what has gone wrong, adventure and investigation abound! Engage in any number of dubious exploits, from international espionage and scandalous publications to horse-race fixing and bagpipe larceny. Find golf on the lawn, sophisticated literary discussion in the salon, sporty convertibles zooming along the country lanes…and a mysterious sarcophagus in the basement?

That is not even mentioning the intrigues of a more personal nature. Will you engage in a spot of matchmaking to help your friends and relations find love? Will you delve deep into family lore to uncover the secrets your parents left behind? What happens when your deeply disapproving former servant returns? Surely those emotions are only disapproval, on both sides. Nothing else at all.

And how on earth are you to manage all of that and prepare for the village jumble sale?
