Frame Assembly
In a room with ample workspace create a rectangle with R1 tubes. The short sides of the rectangle should have 1 tube each and the long sides should have 2 tubes each that are attached together with a connector. On one end of the rectangle, attach the short side to the long side using 329 joints. On the opposite end, spread out the large mesh net and thread the R1 tube through the largest flap. The largest flap is opposite the side with four identical tabs. Secure the R1 tube to the rest of the rectangle using 327 joints. Insert R3 tubes into the small flaps on the net.
Place the R3 tubes that are in the net's small flaps into the 327 joints that are attached to the rectangle frame. Place a 325 joint on the opposite end of each R3 tube. This creates what will ultimately become the net-enclosed lower front of the game center.
With the rectangle laying flush with the ground, insert one R1 tube vertically into each of the two joints in the corners opposite the net. Insert one R2 tube vertically into each of the two joints in the corners of the net-side of the rectangle.
Insert one 330 joint on each vertical R1 and R2 tube. This joint has three points that will need to face the inside of the rectangle.
Recreate the rectangle from step 1 by inserting R1 tubes into the existing 330 joints. Use connectors on the long side of the rectangle to attach the R1 tubes together. Insert one R3 tube into each of the 330 joints on the net side of the top rectangle; affixing it at the point on the joint that is closest to the net. Now you should have a rectangle frame.
Folding the net forward, insert a R2 tube vertically into each corner, affixing the tubes into the existing joints on the floor. Insert a 325 joint onto the top of the newly placed R2 tubes.
Prepare to connect the net to the top of the frame using 339 joints and the 2 clips provided. Insert the 331 joints, T-shaped pieces, into the top of the two 325 joints. Secure a clip near the 331 joints near the top of the netting.
Using 330 joints, attach the top of the net frame to the top of the rectangle frame.
Insert a R2 tube horizontally into the 331 joints on the front of the net. Create the frame for the backboard by inserting one R4 tube vertically into each of the two 330 joints on top of the rectangle frame on the side opposite the net. Attach 334 joints to both of these R4 tubes. Create a right angle on each side by inserting another R4 into existing 334 joints and attach a 325 joint to the R4's opposite side.
Lay out the character-printed sling, not to be confused with the backboard, and unfold for assembly. The side facing the top of Dora The Explorer's head will go toward the top of the frame and the side facing her body will go toward the net-side (or front) of the frame. Attach the character-printed sling to the rectangle frame by slipping the R1 tubes through the sling's tabs and reinserting them into their joints.
Create an extension on the frame where the backboard will go by inserting one R5 tube vertically into each of the two joints in the corners opposite the net-side of the frame. Place one O-ring atop each tube. Place one 335 joint atop each O-ring, with the T-side facing the inside of the frame. On top of the 335 joints, inset a 336 joint on the left side and a 337 joint on the right side. The 336 and 337 joints are mirror images of each other and should both point inside the frame.
Attach a R1 tube to the backboard frame to create an "H".
Create a 90 degree angle with the highest point of the frame using two R3 tubes threaded through the side nets on the character-printed sling. Attach the R3 tubes to the top of the backboard area by inserting them in the blank holes of existing joints. Attach a 338 joint to the end of each R3. This should connect the side nets to the top of the backboard.
Thread the flaps on the side nets with R5 tubes, with 2 tubes per side each connected with 328 joints.
Attach the R5 tubes threaded through the side nets to the top and bottom of the frame, pulling the side nets taut.
Backboard Assembly
Clamp the rim bracket into the rim and attach it to the backboard using the screws with the wing nuts and washers attached on the backside.
Attach the counter level onto the backboard.
Thread the rim net onto the rim.
Secure the backboard to the frame using backboard brackets. Insert screws through each side of the brackets a secure with washers and wing nuts.
Position yourself behind the backboard where you will see a black flap designed to catch and return footballs and basketballs. Fold the flap upward, securing it to the horizontal R1 tube.
Remaining behind the backboard, take the electronic module with batteries installed and position it on the top left side of the frame. Attach it to the highest R5 tube.
Accessory Assembly
Position yourself in front of the game center and insert the hockey stick into the joint on the left. This is where it can remain stored until you're ready to use it.
Insert the golf club on the joint to the right for storage.
Remove the flag labels and place one on each side of the flag. Insert the flag into the hole to create the golfing portion of the game center.
