Gameplay
The game's storyline centers on Tommy Pickles playing a game of hide and seek with his brother, Dil, his cousin, Angelica Pickles, and his friends, Chuckie Finster, Phil and Lil DeVille, and Kimi Finster.
The player helps Tommy find the characters and unlock mini party games for each Rugrat. The player receives a cookie after getting a satisfactory score. The game takes one cookie away if the player does not obtain a satisfactory score. The mini games range from bouncing bones and catching cookies to slide puzzles. Upon winning, the player gets a ranking. The better the player performs, the better the ranking is, with the ultimate title being "Top Toddler."
