"The Grinch got us this year," reads one Reddit post featuring a photo of a Super Mario Party Jamboree case with a lone googly eye in the space meant for the game cartridge. The bizarre switch of game cartridges for googly eyes has ruffled many festive gamers this year, leading to jokes and confusion over who might be responsible for this strange theft or prank.
Some players suspect that warehouse workers are snatching the cartridges with the intent to resell them, replacing them with a googly eye to mask the theft's weight or to conceal it until the box is opened.
Multiple comments indicate that purchasing a Switch game from Walmart often leads to finding only a googly eye inside, suggesting a possible link between this retail chain and the unusual swapping of game cartridges.
One Reddit user shared that after buying "Tears of the Kingdom" from Walmart and finding a googly eye instead of the game, they had to push back against Walmart's refusal to refund, before finally securing a digital copy from Nintendo.
