Sesame Street is taking its beloved characters on an outdoor adventure with Sesame Street Nature Explorers, the first game based on the Nature Explorers shorts to be featured on Sesamestreet.org. Developed in collaboration with the award-winning games team at Workinman Interactive, this innovative and engaging game invites young players to explore their local environment, solve animal mysteries, and learn about nature through fun and interactive gameplay.
Join the Nature Explorers on a Wild Adventure
Elmo, Gabby, and their trusty dog Tango are on a mission to uncover the hidden wildlife of the neighborhood park. With the guidance of Grandma Nell, players embark on a series of mysteries to determine the culprit, by examining what clues have been left behind by the local wildlife —such as footprints, nibbled leaves, or tufts of fur.
By using their observational skills and engaging in logical deduction, kids will learn to connect clues to the animals that left them behind. Whether it’s tracking a squirrel, identifying a rabbit’s lunch, or spotting signs of a deer, each case is an exciting journey into the wonders of nature.
A Curriculum-Driven, Engaging Experience
Designed for children ages 3-5, Sesame Street Nature Explorers integrates a rich educational curriculum focused on:
- Deepening children’s knowledge about nature and local wildlife.
- Encouraging problem-solving and curiosity-based learning.
- Promoting respect and care for the environment.
By engaging in investigative play, children will develop critical thinking skills while reinforcing early science concepts. Each mystery presents an opportunity to explore environmental literacy, observe natural patterns, and practice conservation etiquette—helping young learners appreciate and protect the world around them!
