Game Play
Characters move from one screen to the other by clicking when the cursor turns into a chunky arrow. When the cursor is just a small cursor outline then there is nothing clickable, but when the small cursor outline fills in, something happens when clicking the mouse. As with all Humongous Entertainment games, clicking on the environment prompts an animation which is sometimes funny but irrelevant to the plot, usually with tiny fish. However, when a person or certain objects are clicked, something will happen like the person talking or Freddi Fish picking up the object. Collected objects appear on the bottom of the screen in their own individual bubbles. Freddi Fish puts objects away by sweeping them behind her back, often resulting in hilarious scenes when putting away large objects. Overall, Freddi Fish Junior Adventures are mainly about helping to solve other which is tied in to a constantly progressing storyline.
In all the Freddi Fish games except number 2 (Haunted Schoolhouse), the game has some area that is only accessible when accomplishing the "initial" objective - the objective given near the start of the game. Once an area is unlocked, often any leftover stuff is taken away to solve one last challenge.
The third and fourth games end with a mystery to find out who was the thief. In the third game they give one or two clues that point to the personality of one person; in the fourth game a clue in the Hogfishes' room points to an object the person had been using.

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or play:
“The indispensable ingredient of any game worth its salt is that the children themselves play it and, if not its sole authors, share in its creation. Watching TV’s ersatz battles is not the same thing at all. Children act out their emotions, they don’t talk them out and they don’t watch them out. Their imagination and their muscles need each other.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“The boneless quality of English conversation, which, so far as I have heard it, is all form and no content. Listening to Britons dining out is like watching people play first-class tennis with imaginary balls.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
