Virtual Goose
Virtual Goose is an online computer game that Arthur and his friends enjoyed playing for a long amount of time in Sue Ellen Gets Her Goose Cooked. This game is very similar to Confuse the Goose. Arthur describes it as "This totally amazing new computer game we found on the web!" Sue Ellen describes herself as "Unbeatable" and the "Queen of the Virtual World" at Virtual Goose. In the series, Virtual Goose hosts its own website, www.virtualgoose.com.

Instructions
Below are instructions in Arthur's exact words.
"There's this giant goose in the center of the screen and it spins really fast! And then it stops at one of the colored circles! And you have to shoot tiny balls in the goose's mouth. The more balls you get in, the more points you get." But this is wrong; we all are very aware of how the game is really played, by matching coloured shapes at different angles.

To go with the episode, Virtual Goose was soon made into a game on the Arthur page of the PBS Kids website. Although bearing the same name, there is a drastic difference in gameplay.
Gameplay
The player types a screen name to use. The player then is presented with a large circle, and 4 circles around it. The object of the game is to pick the other circle that has the same pattern as the central circle, although possibly rotated. Each correct score earns points, gradually allowing the player to beat the scores of other players until they beat DisasterWarning99. Any incorrect answers result in automatic elimination.
