The resourceful kids stumble upon an abandoned hotel and, using Bruce's talents as a mechanical genius, transform it into a magical dog-paradise for Friday : and eventually for all of Friday's friends. When barking dogs make the neighbors suspicious, Andi and Bruce use every invention they have to avoid anyone discovering "who let the dogs in."

"We expect this to be a strong holiday season for family-friendly video games, and Hotel for Dogs is a terrific game for kids of all ages," said Jeremy Barnett, vice president of marketing and business development, 505 Games (U.S.).
