Outright Games and Dr. Seuss Enterprises have announced The Cat in the Hat: Rainy Day Mayhem for Nintendo Switch, scheduled to launch on October 30, 2026.
The family-focused party title adapts the classic Dr. Seuss property into an interactive experience that supports local multiplayer and aims to bring the book's trademark mischief to living-room play sessions.
The Cat in the Hat: Rainy Day Mayhem is built for up to four players locally and features two core modes.
In 'Find the Cat', players race through 14 distinct rooms in a hide-and-seek challenge to track down the elusive Cat in the Hat.
The second mode collects 18 minigames, ranging from capturing runaway penguins to decorating oversized cakes, designed for short bursts or extended play.
Players can choose beloved characters including Sally, Johnny, Thing 1 and Thing 2, Little Cat A, with the Cat in the Hat and the Fish serving as guides and focal characters throughout the title.
Outright Games has emphasized accessibility and replayability as central design goals.
The title offers simple controls, adjustable difficulty settings, and a mix of short and long challenges to accommodate younger players and families.
The game will be available in both physical and digital formats on Nintendo Switch, with the eShop serving as the digital storefront for downloadable copies.
Robin Flodin, CEO of Outright Games Group, said the studio wanted to capture the book's playful energy and translate it into a multiplayer experience for families.
Flodin described the project as an effort to deliver the story's mischief and imagination in a way that creates shared moments and laughter among players of different ages.
The Cat in the Hat was first published in 1957 and has since become a foundational work in children's literature.
Rainy Day Mayhem represents a contemporary licensed adaptation that places familiar Dr. Seuss characters into console-friendly minigames and local-party scenarios.
The game is confirmed for release on October 30, 2026, on Nintendo Switch and will be sold both physically and via the Nintendo eShop.
An announcement trailer accompanies the reveal, offering a first look at the game's characters, modes, and minigame variety.
