It does a good job teaching about washing hands and it’s sort of interesting. It says that germs are small, but not invisible, and his hands are visibly dirty.

● Do you know where the hygiene hotspots are in your home? The creeping, crawling army of germs is slowly taking over your house. Grab your trusty cloth and spray, hunt down your home's hygiene hotspots and eliminate your unwanted invaders
● Short. Mildly fun, and gives a little educational tip after each round

This game starts slowly, but gets more fun when you have to throw soap to “wash away” bad bacteria. It also has good handswashing tips. However, the questions in the gameshow section are not related to the rest of the game.

Meena dreams of a magic genie that will
grant her three wishes so that everyone would be healthy and never again get
sick from poor sanitation and unsafe water. When Meena
wakes up she realizes that she must make her dream come true. With the help of
her brother Raju, other children in the village, and Mithu,
her pet parrot, Meena convinces people to build and
use latrines, to use safe water and to wash their hands to stop the spread of
germs and disease. A bit long, but good plot and teaches the invisibility
of germs.

Meena is a great character and this cartoon has some dramatic plot. The lesson is about keeping up fluid intake, without mentioning ORS.

**** All ages
Engaging and somewhat disgusting. A rigorous study supports its effectiveness.[1]
