In the game, the main objective of the players is to resolve and finish a jigsaw puzzle on time before the video clip that is being played on the background ends.

Produced by series creator Norman Beil, Kid Vid Grid is mainly themed after cartoons and prominently features characters from animated series by Hanna-Barbera such as Huckleberry Hound and Snagglepuss unlike the original Vid Grid, which had a heavy emphasis on rock music combining multiple genres and subgenres.

[1] The game launched in 1994 and it was an expansion of the original's concept but delving into children's shows instead of music videos.

[8] A conversion of Kid Vid Grid was developed and completed by High Voltage Software for the Atari Jaguar CD, but it went unreleased for unknown reasons.

The game also includes short clips from others shows as a reward to players for completing the puzzle in time:[2]
