''Curse of the Pumpkin Prince'' is a pair of ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' adventure maps.
''The Curse of the Pumpkin Prince'': The protagonist is a friend of the great wizard Senros J. Majek, who, in order to prove his superiority, has recently killed the Pumpkin Prince, a spirit keeping the land safe from evil monsters. The protagonist takes it on themself to bring him back to life.
''The Pumpkin Prince 2'' is the sequel, but is very different. In it, the Pumpkin Prince sends the hero(es) home through a portal, which malfunctions and strands them in CloudCuckooLand. They must then find their way home.

!!This series contains examples of:
* AttackItsWeakPoint: [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere The guy in the maze]] in the second map is immobile, unarmed, and dies in a few hits, but hides behind defensive walls, so the actual challenge is to hit him through the small gap while fending of all the monsters that keep showing up out of nowhere.
%%* BigBad: Senros, [[spoiler:in both maps]].
%%* BigGood: The Pumpkin King.
%%* BreakingTheFourthWall: Happens a few times in the second map.
%%* CloudCuckooLand: Wherever the hell the first part of the second map is set.
%%* CloudCuckooLander: Seemingly everybody except the protagonist in the second map.
%%* DenserAndWackier: ''The Pumpkin Prince 2'', '''AND HOW'''.
* ElementalMotifs: Three of the chambers in a certain area of the first map are [[LethalLavaLand Fire]], [[UnderTheSea Water]], and [[TheLostWoods Earth]] themed. Which is referenced in the second map, where you have to play through very similar themed areas. In a facility that manufactures them, no less.
%%* EvilOverlord: [[spoiler:Senros]] in ''2''.
* EyeScream: Father Brey seems to have an unhealthy obsession with eyes.
%%* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:Senros.]]
* FirstTown: Greenstown. You spend the beginning of the first map wandering around it and protecting it from monsters, and the second is all about getting back to it [[spoiler:and freeing it from Senros's rule]].
* FlunkyBoss: Both [[NoNameGiven the guy in the maze]] and [[spoiler:Senros]] from the second map send wave upon wave of monsters to harass you while you try to kill them.
%%* FourthWallObserver: The protagonist in the second map, occasionally.
* GainaxEnding: The second map: [[spoiler:After killing Senros, the protagonist takes his place as EvilOverlord, and punches out the narrator when they claim this isn't how the story is supposed to go]].
%%* GenreSavvy: The protagonist demonstrates this to a certain degree in the second map.
* GottaCatchEmAll: Collectable gold nuggets (worth 1 point) and Ghast Tears (worth 10 points).
%%* HeWhoFightsMonsters[=/=]YouKillItYouBoughtIt: [[spoiler:The ending of the second map.]]
* HubLevel: The facility/factory/temple/whatever it's called serves this role for a chunk of the second map, as you're forced to test out the various challenges connected to it.
* KillItWithFire: You are required to burn through wool barriers several times in the first map.
%%* LethalLavaLand: Many parts of the second map.
%%* TheMaze: Quite a large one in the second map.
%%* MindScrew: The second map is very, ''very'' weird.
%%* MinigameZone: The Carnival in ''2''.
%%* MinecartMadness: Several sections of this.
* MooksButNoBosses: Only in the first installment... Though second has a [[DownplayedTrope grand total of two bosses]] (which are both more like rushes of mooks protecting non-combatant targets).
* MultiMookMelee: The Pumpkin Garden, the well, the maze, and [[spoiler:Senros's castle]] all throw increasingly powerful waves of a large variety of mooks at you.
* NoobCave: The first map has you descend into a few very short caves during the Greenstown section as a sort of warmup for combat and puzzle solving.
* PlanetHeck: A large part of the second map is set in the Nether.
* PostModernism: The second map is quite Postmodern: It seems to parody the cliches of adventure maps, including itself, revels in its utterly nonsensical plot, and breaks the fourth wall several times. And let's not forget the time you visit a facility that manufactures levels for adventure maps.
* RandomEventsPlot: ''The Pumpkin Prince 2''. Ostensibly the protagonist is trying to get home, but apart from that, everything that happens along the way is complete randomness.
* SequentialBoss: [[spoiler:Senros]], the final boss of ''The Pumpkin Prince 2'', has two phases, but they're both quite similar: a giant room, four targets to hit, and lots of flunkies.
* ShieldedCoreBoss: [[spoiler:Senros]] in the second map, in both his forms. The first has you running around pouring Water on four Lava Fountains to blow him up, the second has you shooting four targets on the walls before he becomes vulnerable.
%%* SidetrackedByTheGoldenSaucer: The Carnival at the beginning of the second map can waste quite a bit of time.
%%* SinisterMinister: Father Brey from ''2''.
%%* StationaryBoss: The guy in the maze and [[spoiler:Senros]] in the second map.
%%* TempleOfDoom: The Pumpkin Temple from the first map.
* UndergroundLevel: Most of the first map is underground.
%%* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: The Pumpkin Temple (with the Pumpkin Garden as a sub-VDFD at the end of it) in the first map, [[spoiler:Senros' castle]] in the second.
* WhereItAllBegan: The first map starts in Greenstown, while the second has you return to it at the end [[spoiler:for the final dungeon and boss]].
* WombLevel: One section of the second map has you drive down the throat of a giant snake.
* ZergRush:
** There are several rooms in the first map overloaded with Monster Spawners.
** The Pumpkin Garden hits you with ''every mob in the game at once''.
