Where's Waldo at the Circus Where's Waldo at the Circus Designed for "children ages 4 through 8", Where's Waldo at the Circus is a computer video game that immerses the player in a rich interactive environment complete with music, sound, and animation. A team of educators assisted with the game design, and the exercises within it conform to the guidelines of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the California Department of Education. The game is introduced by Waldo himself asking the player to type in his or her name. Once that is done, the player is off to the Big Top to meet
Big Apple Circus and in Atlanta by bringing the "Circus of the Senses" to those cities. In 1999, co-founder Michael Christensen was inducted into Miami's Ambassador David A. Walters pediatric Hall of Fame, for his "contributions to pediatrics" by way of the circus and its different programs. Once again in 1999, "Circus of the Senses" attracted a large number of special children, with 9,000 kids participating. The circus dropped plans for a second unit that was to play in theaters after less than successful financial results during a trial run. Additionally, the Big Apple Circus became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in March 2000.
