'''Visuals:''' On a black background, there is a crudely-drawn box containing a close-up image of some sort of ninja, with a red scarf covering up half of its face, only its eyes visible. Above is the text "{{color|red|NINJA}}" in a crude brush design, and "{{font|Serif|THEORY}}" below in a white standard Serif font. The box emits a faint glow. |

</gallery>'''Logo''': On a white backdrop, we see a group of lavender-colored, crudely drawn human figures excitedly hop around, with two purple shapes in the middle. A gray, blobby monster with horns holding a pitchfork jumps out of one of the shapes as the people run away in fear. The monster runs right and the text shrinks to reveal the stacked name <nowiki>''</nowiki>JUST ADD MONSTERS<nowiki>''</nowiki>. The monster flips and lands situated to the right of the name, casting a shadow. The byline 'part of the Argonaut Games PLC Group' appears in gray below. The monster looks at the name and blinks. |

'''Music/Sounds''': A beatbox tune and sounds of the figures talking to begin, which stops and turns into screaming when the monster appears, the steps of the monster, a 'glug' sound when the monster lands next to the logo, and a waterdrop sound as it blinks. |
