A folding carton is provided with a three-dimensional scene collapsed upon the outer face of one sidewall of the carton. The scene may be folded out, with all elements popping into position simultaneously, to provide a game or other diversion after the primary use of the carton is completed. An auxiliary sidewall is provided with punch out figures or tokens for use in conjunction with the three-dimensional scene.
