LOS ANGELES – May 8, 2012 – Ready for a mathematical, algebraic, radical time?

In the first licensed Adventure Time video game, Finn and Jake wake up one morning to find their trash stolen by the Ice King.

Journey through the Land of Ooo in an offbeat adventure and discover perilous dungeons and unimaginable treasures, while playing as Finn and Jake in a unique action-adventure experience.
