Story[]
Kaitlyn Wilson, an 8-year-old girl, who gets mistreated by her family escapes from home to get away from her family's cruelty. Kaitlyn soon comes across a circus that is filled with laughter, clowns, and animals. Unaware of these things due to her not being able to experience the outside world, Kaitlyn gets excited about all of the cheerfulness and decides to go and sneak inside to see all of the fun.
After the show was over, everybody had gone home and the clowns and staff were locked up in the staff rooms. Kaitlyn noticed a candle burning on a table at the side of the tent. She had never seen fire in her life and she found the flame pretty, so not knowing the pain shock she would get, Kaitlyn put her hand in the flame. The flame scorched Kaitlyn's hand, and she squealed in pain and flung her hand backward, knocking the candle off of the table, and setting the circus tent on fire.
Unsure of what to do, Kaitlyn ran out of the circus. In a terrified shock, she watched as the circus got covered in embers, and as the clowns and the staff all sadly died in the fire.
Kaitlyn was horrified by the fact she caused such a disaster and ran off. She was reported missing by her family, but no traces were found.
After the circus tent got burnt down, the whole town was saddened by the bad news, due to them loving the circus. Many children were upset and many memories were left outside of the burnt circus tent to remember the clowns, staff, and animals who lost their lives in the mysterious fire. The candle was found, but there was no evidence of it being an attempted murder, so it was just called an unknown accident.
Most of the towns' people moved away because they were saddened by the blaze and the deaths.
But, what is unknown is that some of the lonesome souls of the dead clowns and animals are still wandering around the debris of the circus tent, eager to find out why the fire started and if it was an accident or not...

Trivia[]
- The game is somewhat similar kind to MySims Agents when you think about it, as both are Agent games, in which the player hunts for clues.
- The 3DS version of the game is totally different, Kaitlyn is actually a teenage boy called Quinn, who started off the blaze by lighting a firework.
- The initial concept for the game was originally going to be similar to Luigi's Mansion, however, that was changed due to the storyline being a little bit confusing.
- The Callisto drawing on the 3DS cover was drawn by the Devianart user Chowderluv.
- Stitches is actually a lion that lost his legs in the fire and died. It is unknown how he turned into a lion puppet but it's been said that, as a ghost, he wanted to become a puppet like his owner, Poppy.
- None of the pets are playable.
- One of the main differences between the Wii U version and the 3DS version is that in the 3DS version, the characters are rather murderous.
