* {{Outgambitted}}: Mr. Fischoeder taught the kids how to cheat at carnival games at is establishments he owns, and is informed of their plan to use these tricks to win a dune buggy. He then seems to have tipped off the employees at Family Funtime, to make sure the kids get caught, so he could use them as an example to his co-owners of why the dune buggy should be removed as a prize and kept to himself and the other owners. Louise guesses his plan, and the kids give up on trying for the dune buggy, but intentionally get caught as decoys, luring him to confront them in person, so that Louise could win another desirable prize at another establishment he owns while he wasn't there to oversee it.

* TheChessmaster: Louise. She enlists Mr. Fischoeder's help in teaching her, her siblings and her friends on how to cheat at Family Funtime's games. She makes one final check before their plan is meant to go off and discovers that the curtain from the photo booth where they were going to hide the tickets is gone, and distracts the employee to check the monitors if there's another blind spot for the cameras, but she's caught behind the desk, with the employee thinking she was there to steal something, causing her to get banned. While she's taking her picture taken for the board of banned people, she then discovers that Mr. Fischoeder is one of its co-owners and realizes that he has been setting up a ruse. Next, she gets the rest of the kids to go on with her plan to win enough tickets for the dune buggy, getting the Family Funtime owners and Mr. Fischoeder to bust them for cheating to prove his point to the Family Funtime manager about the dune buggy being too good of a grand prize and how it encourages organized cheating. Instead, she goes to the boardwalk where she uses Mr. Fischoeder's advice to win the Wheely Mammoth from one of his own games. Even Mr. Fischoeder is impressed with how well she planned that.
