Key information
Gameloft’s Bluey’s Happy Snaps invites players to join Bluey and Bingo on a photography adventure. After Bandit repairs a camera found in storage, the siblings visit the park to fill a photo book. The game draws inspiration from the photography mechanics of Toem, tasking players with capturing specific subjects to progress through various areas.
The gameplay structure relies on visual cues and hints rather than hand-holding, which the reviewer notes helps children learn quest-based mechanics. Players earn stickers and customization items for their photos. While the game is designed for younger audiences, the reviewer suggests that the observation-based tasks provide a gentle challenge that may require some critical thinking.
The reviewer highlights several technical and design concerns. Specifically, they encountered bugs where on-screen events and text failed to align with voice clips from the show. Additionally, the reviewer found it distracting that 2D character models stare straight ahead during conversations, failing to look at one another, which they noted as a regression compared to Bluey: The Videogame.
Despite these flaws, the title is praised for its effective use of show references to guide players and its respectful approach to its target audience. Bluey’s Happy Snaps is scheduled for release on October 15, 2026, for Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
