Family Fest Presents Circus Games is a video game exclusively for Wii that was released on October 21, 2008 and is also known as Fun Fair Party in Europe and was developed by Kuju Entertainment and Ubisoft.

Plot

Jake and his family bought tickets and watch a circus for the night. An evil ringmaster was about to start up a circus and wanted any character to test his games. When the show isn't yet over, the ringmaster was very evil and someone must fire him.

Gameplay

Unlike playing the arcade game, Carnival King: Big Top Shooter, players take place in a circus tent under the big top. The games are similar to the Mario Party series. First, they start with a course with games and they can replay it in Quick Play or Adventure mode. If you finish every course, the ringmaster will warn you that you're humiliating him. If you finish the game, the ringmaster is fired and Jake becomes the new ringmaster. To complete any mini-game, you must fill the clap-o-meter to the thumbs up button. If you do anything right, the audience will cheer on you. If you do anything wrong, the audience will boo at you.
