Grimace's Birthday

What is Grimace's birthday?

Grimace's Birthday is a fun platformer in which you navigate the stages by skating. You must collect as many milkshakes as you can while tracking down your friends in order for the celebration to take place. It's a decent little game, especially considering it was created in under two months.

On Grimace's Birthday, Grimace has a birthday party at a McDonald's restaurant, but none of his McDonaldland pals - Birdie the Early Bird, the Hamburglar, and the McNugget Buddies - show up. He has 30 minutes until midnight to round them all up before it's time to blow out the candles.

Grimace's Birthday was made to commemorate the arrival of the Grimace Birthday milkshake, a purple drink that was only available with McDonald's limited-edition Grimace Birthday Meal. The beverage is served with a Big Mac or 10-piece McNuggets and fries.

Gameplay Guidelines

You must help Grimace gather 40 milkshakes across four levels before time runs out. In the first two levels, the purple mascot skateboards, whereas in the last two, he runs around barefoot. The Darkside Grind and 50-50 Grinds are completed automatically while grinding on rails when playing on Normal difficulty; however, in Hard mode, you must manually grind with the Up or Down controls or you may fall off.
