Plot
Beavis and Butt-Head head out with the class on a field trip to Highland State College.

Success will be rewarded by being allowed to attend a party at the end of the day.[1]

In 1997 GT Interactive acquired the rights to publish video games based on Beavis and Butt-Head.[2]
Critical reception
IGN gave the game a "Mediocre" rating of 5.6.[3] GameSpot rated the game 5.4 out of 10, writing, "Casual Beavis and Butt-head fans might be satisfied with hearing their favorite cartoon characters say the same old stuff in a brand-new place, but discerning fans - and gamers looking for their money's worth in an adventure game - will likely walk away from this one feeling a little bit cheated."[1]
Adventure Gamers gave the game 1.5 stars, criticising its "Short game play with mostly elementary puzzles", and concluding: "Only for fans of the series, other gamers will find it heavy handed and superficial."[4]
