Gameplay edit
Like the other games in the series, the object of the game is to search for hidden characters and items within a time limit. Hints are awarded to the player through Woof, Waldo's pet dog. Woof alerts the players when they are near an object they are searching for. Players wanting to use this ability more often must collect 'Woof Bones' to prolong the effect.[4]
Unlike the NES video game adaptation of Where's Waldo? and The Great Waldo Search, which relied on a directional pad to search for targets, this game allows players to utilize superior pointer-based motion controls (the Wii Remote's infrared sensor, the DS and iPhone's touchscreen, or a mouse, depending on the platform) to easily seek desired search targets.
