They can also be set manually from the Pathway selection screen. These activities are set to an intermediate difficulty level as a default, and will adjust automatically up as a level is completed, or down if the player seems to be having a problem. There are nine directed activities in the game: There are two discs, each one covering two questions, or pathways - each pathway is a complete game, and can be played independently of the others, in any order. The player's reward is the party itself with a special activity dictated by the question that was solved.

As each set of three clues is collected, Steve retires to his thinking chair to ponder the clues, and the player must select the most likely combination from a group of three pictures. Four questions are posed to the player: What does Blue want to do at her party? What does Blue want to play at her party? What does Blue want to give her guests at her party? What does Blue want to eat at her party? As in the Blue's Clues television show that the characters are based on and in Blue's Treasure Hunt, each question can be solved by discovering 'clues' indicated by blue paw prints.

In Blue's Clues: Blue's Birthday Adventure, spotted puppy Blue and her human friend Steve prepare for Blue's birthday party.
