Description[]
Poop or Scoop is a zoology "true or false" based puzzle game, similar to Eddie Bull. The player must determine whether or not the host's animal facts are indeed true—with Scoop meaning true, Poop meaning false.
The host of the show is just that of an arm, or all that appears is his arm. His species or race is yet unknown. The host usually welds a cane and talks similar to a carnival game host.
The player is asked 4 true or false questions about animals. After asking the player for their answer, the truth is shortly revealed with a fact about the said animal, usually followed by a one-liner from the host.
The host of Poop or Scoop is voiced by Danny Wells, who also played Luigi in the 'Super Mario Brothers Super Show'.
