Trivia[]

  • Austin Williams, a relative of another friend of Joe named Samuel Williams, is one of this episode's friends of Joe.
  • This episode was surprisingly produced before Can You Help?. These episodes were filmed in around late 2001, before Steve's episodes even finished airing.
  • Unlike other recent episodes where the clues magically appear and talk, Joe is actually shown drawing the clues in this episode, Let's Write!, and Magenta's Messages, but they do not talk.
    • They were produced before talking clues have started production.
      • In fact, on top of the production fact, this episode produced much earlier than when the talking clues have started to appear.
  • The items found in the scavenger hunt form the clues in this episode.
  • This is Joe's version of Blue's Big Treasure Hunt.
  • This episode is listed as a Season 4 episode on streaming services such as iTunes and Amazon Prime
  • This also happens in Can You Help?, The Big Book About Us, I'm So Happy! and The Boat Float.
  • This is the only episode where Joe finds the third clue in the skidoo segment while he wears his red shirt.
  • This is also the only episode that Joe sang The So Long Song in the Blue's Clues house in his red shirt.
  • Joe wears his red squared shirt in this episode.
    • In airing order, this is also the last Blue's Clues episode in which Joe wears his red squared shirt. He will wear it again (with overalls) in the Blue's Room episode Blue's Farm Playdate.
  • In the credits, the first page does not fade before the other credits start scrolling upwards, it just immediately starts going up while the other credits appear.
    • This is fixed in Animals in Our House? and Morning Music, where it does fade before all the other credits start scrolling upwards.
      • Similarly, some of the credit parts, such as "Studio Crew" look like they were going to have these credits flip from page to page.
        • Surprising, character animations are absent (not counting Blue and her ball before the book closes) in these credits, even Blue's upside down blinking at the beginning.
  • This is the 5th episode that the telephone was sitting on the floor.
  • This is the first time that Magenta skidoos in the original series. She skidoos again in the reboot series episode Hide and Seek with Blue.
  • This is the first episode since Geography and the last episode not to feature any characters during the credits.
  • This is the 3rd Blue's Clues episode where the Felt Frame is used as the skidoo location.
  • In this episode, after Joe says, "We have all three clues…", he says, "And we found everything on our list!" instead of "…to figure out…". This is the only time this happens.
  • This is Joe's version of Pool Party and Blue's Big Musical with a list.
  • The music during the skidoo segment is the mystery music from What Does Blue Want to Do with Her Picture?, Shape Searchers and Blue's Big Mystery were used.
  • There are twelve things in the Shockwave game that Joe has to look for based on this episode, but only four, six, and eight are correct:
    • Ball on the playground
    • Bananas in the grocery store
    • Bicycle on the playground
    • Eggs in the grocery store
    • Globe in Blue's school
    • Lunch box in Blue's school
    • Paints in Blue's school
    • Radio in the Blue's Clues house
    • Rollerskates on the playground
    • Strawberries in the grocery store
    • Toy chest in the Blue's Clues house
    • Toy duck in the Blue's Clues house
  • This is the only episode in which Magenta is joined for thinking time.
  • In the letter, the boys say "We did it!" before saying "Bye, Joe!".

Goofs[]

  • Some sources incorrectly categorize this episode as being from late season 4, but it actually belongs to season 5.
  • When Joe stood up from the floor holding the tape, the blanket on the bed switched from the original one to a checkered blanket.
  • Once more, Blue consumes chocolate, despite the fact that chocolate is toxic to dogs even in large quantities. This also applies to Magenta, who is trying chocolate for the first time.
