Gameplay

The main objective of the game is to collect items and solve puzzles in order to progress through each level. The scavenger hunt theme is reflected in the gameplay, as players must search for specific objects scattered throughout the levels. These objects are usually related to the Rugrats' world and often include items like diapers, toys, and other baby-related objects.

Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt also includes multiplayer modes, allowing friends to compete against each other in a variety of mini-games and challenges. Players can choose from a selection of Rugrats characters and participate in activities such as racing, collecting the most items, and completing specific objectives within a time limit.

Sentiment

The game received mixed reviews upon its release, but many critics praised the game's faithful representation of the Rugrats series and its multiplayer mode. Though game studios do not often make games tied to childhood shows like this anymore, Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt remains a nostalgic title for fans of the Rugrats franchise and those who enjoyed playing it during the Nintendo 64 era.
