Moving AF now that it is a disambiguation.

* ParanoiaFuel: Imagine being a parent who has sent their kid to a seemingly legit, if not oddly named, sports camp (though Wendy and Elliott -- the main characters -- actually crash-landed at the camp because the trailer attached to their car fell off and their parents didn't realize they were missing until later). Then you've lost contact with the camp. Then you learn that your children have been [[spoiler: exploited for slave labor at the behest of a gigantic purple monstrosity that ''ate'' any kid that stopped working!]]

Splitting "Moments" tropes into their own pages.
Deleted line(s) 2,11 (click to see context) :
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: After Wendy discovers King Jellyjam and the fate of the campers who win gold "King coins", she arrives just in time to stop her brother from dooming himself and finds a way to kill Jellyjam with ''his own body odor.'' To elaborate, this girl went up against a monstrosity that's already eaten dozens of other kids, has the entire camp at his beck and call, and still defeats him through a combination of deduction, leadership and bravery. And becomes one of the ''few'' protagonists to outright destroy the villain and save everyone else. Awesome.
* NightmareFuel:
** Buddy on the cover is the worst kind of StepfordSmiler, with a vacant grin.
** The scene where the trailer gets disconnected from the main car. Wendy and her brother freak out as they nearly get killed, on realizing no, their parents weren't driving that fast.
** During baseball practice, Wendy accidentally clonks Buddy in the stomach with a wooden baseball bat. She goes OhCrap and expects Buddy to double over in pain. He responds by telling her to switch to aluminum. Even Wendy's roommates point out it's super weird.
** Wendy keeps asking the counselors if there are any updates on reaching their parents. She tries to dial them using the phones, only to realize they're all fake.
** TheReveal, all of it:
*** Wendy goes to investigate at night and finds out that Buddy is hypnotizing the counselors, as well as himself.
*** After she finds out King Jellyjam is not only real but also a slave foreman, one of the captured children tells the protagonist that if anyone stops to rest even for a second, that disgusting monster they're washing will pick them up and ''[[ChildEater eat]]'' them. And that ''she's seen him eat three kids already''!
*** It turns out the cops had checked in on the camp several times, to ask if they had found the kids. A hypnotized Buddy had lied and said no. It's utter AdultFear.
