The Blueys Happy Snaps activity book edition is a limited-time physical package designed for young fans and families. Priced at $49.99 USD (49,99€ / $84.95 AUD), it bundles the complete Deluxe Edition of the photo adventure game alongside a physical 44-page activity book and exclusive sticker sheets.
If you are trying to decide whether to purchase this premium bundle over the standard or digital deluxe versions, here is a complete breakdown of its contents, pricing, platform differences, and retail availability.
What Is Included in the Activity Book Edition?
The activity book edition serves as the highest-tier physical release for Bluey's Happy Snaps, published by Gameloft and distributed physically by Bandai Namco (with SEGA handling physical releases in Japan and parts of Asia).
Inside the box, buyers receive both physical activities and digital extras:
- Deluxe Edition Game: The full game on physical media across supported console platforms.
- 44-Page Physical Activity Book: A printed collection featuring drawing pages and simple creative activities suited for young children.
- Two Extra Sticker Sheets: Additional physical stickers to accompany the book activities.
- "Here Come the Grannies" Bonus Content: Digital gameplay content featuring Janet and Rita equipped with wheels.
- Extra Dress-Up Items: Additional unlockable outfits for Bluey and Bingo.
- Digital Deluxe Album: Exclusive downloadable behind-the-scenes concept art from the production of the game.
Unlike digital versions that focus entirely on in-game cosmetics and scrapbooking, this package provides tangible offline craft materials that align with the game's core "Play for Real Life" philosophy.

Platform Availability and Key Cart Notice
The Activity Book Edition has been listed for multiple console platforms, but format requirements vary by system:
- Nintendo Switch: Standard physical cartridge containing the software.
- Nintendo Switch 2: Physical packaging sold as a "Game Key Cart." Retail specifications and product documentation confirm the cart functions primarily as a physical software license, requiring an internet download to install the full game files onto the system.
- PlayStation 5: Physical game disc included with the activity book bundle.
Bluey's Happy Snaps is also available digitally on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Microsoft Store), as well as day one on Xbox Game Pass. However, the physical Activity Book Edition is restricted to physical console SKUs.
What Kind of Game Is Bluey's Happy Snaps?
Developed by Gameloft Brisbane in Unreal Engine 5, Bluey's Happy Snaps is a casual family adventure modeled on the photo-safari style of Pokémon Snap. Bluey and Bingo find their dad Bandit's vintage instant camera and embark on an adventure across familiar Brisbane landmarks from the television series, including Mount Coot-tha ("The Sign"), South Bank ("Ice Cream"), and New Farm Park ("Spy Game").
Key gameplay mechanics include:
- Photo Exploration: Search environments to photograph native Australian wildlife, toys, and playful moments with friends like Muffin, Coco, and Winton.
- Creative Scrapbooking: Captured photos are pasted into Bluey's scrapbook, where players can freely decorate pages with unlockable stickers, stamps, paint textures, and coloring tools.
- Two-Player Buddy Co-op: A second player can drop into local co-op to roam alongside the photographer, striking poses and interacting with toys.
- Kid-Safe Environment: The title contains no online multiplayer and zero microtransactions or in-game purchases.
Where to Buy the Activity Book Edition
Because the Activity Book Edition is designated as a limited-time physical package, regional stock levels vary significantly:
- North America: Available through select independent retailers such as PNP Games and Video Games Plus, alongside major general retailers.
- Australia: Listed across regional gaming outlets including Big W, EB Games, JB Hi-Fi, The Gamesmen, and Amazon Australia.
- International Importers: Global retailers such as Play-Asia stock US, European, and Asian regional physical editions. Note that physical releases in Japan and Southeast Asia distributed by SEGA launch on November 26, 2026.
UK buyers should note that several regional retail trackers reported little to no domestic high-street stock at launch, with most UK physical inventory skewed toward the standalone physical Deluxe Edition.
