When a menacing goblin army strikes,
Knack must rise up and transform himself into a gigantic wrecking machine
To track down the enemy and save mankind.
So say hello to an unlikely hero…
Because Knack’s adventure is just getting started!
Knack is a three-foot tall, all-action hero who can grow to ENORMOUS sizes. Relics power everything in Knack’s world… including Knack! They are mysterious objects that can be found buried deep in the earth. Collect relics wherever you can so that Knack can transform into a massive behemoth and crush the goblin threat.
The Doctor is a world-famous inventor. He’s so brilliant, he even created Knack. No one knows more about relics than Doctor Vargas and, now that humanity is under siege, his knowledge is more important than ever.
Lucas is the Doctor’s hard-working assistant. He may be young, but he’s already an exceptional inventor. It can be tough working for a genius like Doctor Vargas, but Lucas is eager to prove himself against the dangers that lie ahead.
As a fearless explorer, Ryder seeks adventure wherever he goes. He takes danger in his stride and is ready to risk everything to protect the world and his nephew Lucas.

Gadget parts and crystal relics are concealed in secret rooms.
Every time you find a treasure chest, you’ll be able to see a list of friends who found different items in that place. If you like the item they found better than your own, you’ll be able to take that type of item instead.
