[4] Once the scenario is selected the player must help Steve complete it by solving three problems, guiding him through the house in order to locate clues.

Each problem is solved by finding clues which are marked by blue paw prints within the game.

In order to locate clues players must interact with characters in the game and provide them with the items they require.

[2][3] The game is split into three difficulty levels; these affect the task which the player must complete when they discover a clue.

For instance, at the lowest difficulty level a clue may be solved by picking the correct drawing shown on the screen, on the higher difficulty level the same task may require player to piece segments of the picture together in order to produce a complete picture.
