Quirklewick Hollow

Quirklewick Hollow at Alphatribe Island is where some very strange, but still sort of cute and lovable critters are living the proverbial high life. Among the places to visit are three villages, one with odd melting houses (known as Upper Quirklewick), the other with ones that have faces (known as Lower Quirklewick). The winding road of the melting house village will lead you straight to an entertainment area where a bunch of critters are having a shindig right now. And making a hard right will take you to a small fishing village with a harbor and boats. Across the stream near the entrance area, there is a park dotted with some quirky pavilions, where more critters are having a nice day out.
