This game is meant to help children learn basic math skills such as simple addition and learning to count. The player controls a star that can scroll over interactive objects. Most objects that are clicked on give the player a short animation sequence. The game also contains radios and television sets, that when selected, let the player listen to songs and watch animated clips from the television series, respectively. The game features over an hour of footage from the television series, including songs about numbers. There is also a phone which the player can use to call a muppet and books that are read to the player.

There are also a few games that can be played by visiting each muppets residence. The games include the Present Game, the Paper Clip Game, the Near and Far Game, and "I've Got Your Number."
