Blues Clues Treasure Hunt

Blue's Treasure Hunt, created by Humongous Entertainment, is a software program based on Nickelodeon's preschool program "Blue's Clues," and features Steve and a cast of two-dimensional animated characters, among them Blue, a fun-loving, spotted blue dog. Blue's Treasure Hunt invites kids to join Steve on a series of treasure hunt adventures. Preschoolers help Blue and friends collect treasure scrolls, find and solve Blue's Clues, explore Steve's neighborhood, play multi-level learning games and more. Kids use critical thinking and problem-solving skills to help Steve and Blue discover Paprika's, Mailbox's, and Magenta's favorite treasures as they play with old and new friends on their quest to find the land of Great Discovery. Together they explore new places including the park, school and Recycle Town. Then, using the treasure keys they've earned by collecting treasure scrolls and solving Blue's Clues games, kids are granted entry to the captivating Land of Great Discovery where new treasures await them. The price for Blue's Treasure Hunt is $29.99 and the game comes on two CDs. There is also a Blue's Birthday Adventure, Blue's 123 Time Activities, and Blue's ABC Time Activities.
