Sesame Street: Friends & Fun is a kids’ adventure game developed by Infinigon Games and published by Outright Games, the publisher behind licensed family games like PAW Patrol and Bluey. It launched on October 9, 2026, rated E for Everyone, and you can play it solo or with a second player in local co-op.
Our verdict: this charming casual game captures the wholesome spirit of Sesame Street with engaging activities that genuinely entertain young players. It isn’t deep, and it isn’t long, but for its intended audience, it does exactly what it needs to.
So Much to Do on the Street
Collect seeds, plant them and grow ingredients, including a giant beanstalk.
Gather ingredients and help Cookie Monster in his Foodie Truck.
Hunt for rubber ducks, and photograph animals and bugs around the neighbourhood.
Drag-and-drop puzzles, line tracing, counting with the Count and Grover’s hidden challenges.
The activities are pitched at a range of ages. One reviewer described the simplest puzzles (fixing a shovel by dragging the pieces together, tracing a route for the bus, ordering items from largest to smallest, a six-piece jigsaw) as about right for two- to three-year-olds. The multi-step tasks, like remembering a recipe, growing the ingredients and bringing them back to bake, suit four- to six-year-olds better. There’s also shape drawing, cleaning up, fixing broken items and racing through rings on a tricycle.
Make It Your Own
Completing challenges unlocks new cosmetics for your Muppet, and rewards let you decorate your home, open up new mini-games and reach new parts of the street. The finale lets kids design the block party’s main stage, choosing backdrops, lights and special effects. One player’s biggest wish is to name their Muppet, which seems like an obvious feature to be missing.
Better Together
The best way to play is with someone. Shared/split-screen local co-op means a parent, older sibling or friend can play alongside a young child the whole way through, helping with the trickier bits without taking the controller away. One reviewer said little ones will definitely have fun running around Sesame Street with a parent or a sibling, and that’s where the game shines brightest.
Where It Falls Short

|---|---|---|
| Pure Sesame StreetElmo, Cookie Monster, the Count, Big Bird, Bert and Ernie, all warm and on-brand. | Shallow LoopCollecting ducks and ingredients makes up most of the game. | $29.99 PriceA lot to ask for a few hours of simple activities. |

The Verdict
Sesame Street: Friends & Fun knows exactly who it’s for. Young children get to make their own Muppet, hang out with the characters they love, and work through gentle, guided activities that sneak in counting, sorting and memory skills. Tango keeps everyone on track, and local co-op makes it a lovely game to play with your kids.
It’s also thin. The core loop doesn’t stretch far, the puzzles aren’t memorable, and at $29.99 for a few hours of play, the value is questionable. Older kids will outgrow it fast.
The honest read: a sweet, safe and genuinely kid-friendly Sesame Street game, best for ages two to six and best played together. If you have a little Sesame Street fan at home and a controller handy, it’ll make them very happy. Just consider waiting for a sale.
