The Stretchers is a cooperative puzzle game for Nintendo Switch where players embark on a mission to rescue residents afflicted by the comical condition known as 'the Dizzies'. Players can either team up with a friend or control two medics solo to navigate through a series of physics-based challenges. Each mission presents unique puzzles, requiring strategic thinking and teamwork to transport the dizzy residents effectively to safety.

The gameplay allows for flexibility in approach; players can choose to work collaboratively by carrying multiple Dizzies on a stretcher or tackle the challenges individually by dragging them to the ambulance. As players progress, they can unlock bonus objectives and discover hidden collectibles, adding to the replay value and overall enjoyment of the game.
