It's Game Day in Storybook World, and while everyone plays Blue's Clues to figure out what game Blue wants to play, they put together a jigsaw puzzle with Shovel and Pail, find Blue among other Blue objects, and remember their way to the gingerbread boy's house on a board game.
"Blue Wants To Play A Game" contains examples of:
- Call-Back: The completed puzzle is the musical chairs scene from "Mailbox's Birthday," which Steve reminds the viewers of.
- Steve: Hey! Would you look at that! It's Mailbox's birthday party! Remember?
- Duck!: The viewers tell Steve they found a clue on the duck, but Steve thinks of the verb when he hears the word duck.
- Viewer: On the duck!Steve: Duck? (ducks his head) Oh, (laughs) on the duck, right.
