Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt
Video board-game for kids. Up to
four human- or computer-controlled players can play at once.
There are three main game options based on either cooperative or competitive gameplay.
They are Pirate Treasure Hunt, Angelica's Temple of Gloom and Reptar Rally and each
has its own distinctive design. You choose from four characters; Chuckie, Tommy, Phil or
Lil. Additional NPCs from the series are also featured in the game.
Each player spins a wheel to determine the number of spaces to be moved. Victory is not
dependent on reaching the finish line, rather the winner is the one who finds all of the
hidden objects by exploring the game board.
Boards are customizable in areas such as size and number of secret squares. After this
process is complete each board is randomly generated.
Much of the gameplay is straight from a traditional board-game, some of the squares
require actions such as missing a turn. Other squares lead to mini-games like a scissors-
paper-stone game. On the treasure hunt board some squares lead to mini-treasure hunts.
The boards are divided up into tiled squares. Tiles not only dictate actions but are used to
collect items such as cookies that can be traded in for 'Toy Cards' or used to pay off other
players when you land on the same square as them. Toy Cards allow for special events
such as the ability to be invulnerable or transport your character to another area of the
board.
A meter on-screen measures the energy of the babies and if a baby's meter is empty they
have to take a nap lasting a turn!
The game employs bold and colorful graphics. Characters are rendered in 3D, however,
the character animation is not as good as it might have been. Play is accompanied by
speech samples provided by the actors from the TV show. In addition, music composed by
Mark Mothersbaugh who also works on the show, is incorporated into the game.
