· Currency: Stars: By completing areas in Story Mode and completing challenges, players can earn Stars that can be used to buy item upgrades.

"Gravity Falls" is an animated adventure comedy riddled with mystery. In it twin brother and sister, Dipper and Mabel, are sent to spend their summer vacation with their great uncle, Grunkle Stan, who enlists the siblings' help in running the Mystery Shack, a fun tourist trap he owns that overcharges unsuspecting customers. While Dipper has a hard time getting used to his new surroundings, Mabel's upbeat optimism comes in handy in her quest to find true love. When Dipper stumbles upon an elusive book, he discovers it is the key to unlocking the town's mysterious secrets, and the brother and sister duo soon realize they must rely on one another to navigate the unfamiliar place. Meanwhile, when he isn't busy trying to make a quick buck from his unsuspecting customers, Grunkle Stan guards his own secret that might hold the key to unlocking the mystery of Gravity Falls.

"Gravity Falls" stars Jason Ritter as Dipper Pines, Kristen Schaal as Mabel Pines, Alex Hirsch as Grunkle Stan and Soos, and Linda Cardellini as Wendy. Thurop Van Orman ("Adventure Time") guest stars as Li'l Gideon. "Gravity Falls" is a production of Disney Television Animation and carries a TV-Y7 parental guideline. The series airs on Disney XD and Disney Channel.
