The game then continues to introduce your character. You aren't amused by the circus and you want to reveal you secret and that is to defy death.
Overall the game is pretty interesting, the player's character is bedazzled by the spectacle of the circus and the mystery of the performer's life. After attending a show of Tomas Munrab's "The Travelling Circus That Time Forgot", the player stands near the tents instead of rushing through the exit. The character stands there waiting to possibly catch an extra snippet of the show or maybe something will happen,,,
Instead, the player overhears a strange conversation. The circus' owner has hired a drunken, inept detective to find his daughter Chelsea, who has been kidnapped. Munrab is convinced that it was an outside job; surely his loyal employees would never betray him like this!
As the player begins to investigate the abduction, it soon becomes clear that the circus workers don't appreciate the intrusion. Their reactions range from indifference to hostility to attempted murder. In order to unravel the mystery, the player engages in a series of actions straight out of a circus fan's dream: dressing up as a clown, walking the high wire, and taming lions.

I hope you have enjoyed me review and experience with Infocoms work of Ballyhoo. This piece of work is easy to understand with puzzle's that were trouble some but able to be completed. I give Ballyhoo a 4/5 stars on my IF rating.
