The Trying Game is the 11th episode of Blue's Clues from the first season and the tenth to be released.
Summary
"Blue wants to practice, but practice what? In addition to finding Blue's Clues, we practice telling time with Tickety Tock, and we figure out what Baby Bear wants to be when she grows up. Then we predict what tadpoles, caterpillars, and a spider will look like when they grow up."
Elements
- Question: What does Blue want to try to do?
- Clues:
- 1. A Horn
- 2. A Basket
- 3. A Wheel
- Answer to Blue's Clues: Ride a bicycle
- Wrong Answer: Put the wheel in the basket, and honk the horn
- Living room picture: A block tower
- Skidoo location: Storybook Forest
- Felt Frame picture: Felt Friends playing Jump ropes together
Recap
Steve invites the viewers inside the house to try their best in the hopes of learning something or getting even better at something we already know how to do. With Blue's encouragement, Steve takes up juggling, he starts with one ball, then two and three. We help Tickety Tock to tell what time it is by associating times with familiar objects and rituals. In Storybook Forest, we find Baby Bear. We also help young animals find their parents, noting that some animals change forms as they grow up.

- The letter is small like in the next aired episode.
- In the UK version, Kevin's balls didn't drop unlike Steve's (where his dropped) in the first clue.
- In the UK version, Mailbox and Tickety Tock appeared during the theme song, but not in the US version.
- When Steve says, "The mail's here!", he uses his voice pitch from Snack Time in his voice from the previous episode and the next aired episode Pretend Time.
- Steve dances like in the movie Saturday Night Fever at the beginning of "We Just Figured Out Blue's Clues".
- When Steve says "Yes! Yes!" after getting rid of the pawprint, his voice was taken from the episode Blue's Favorite Song, but it is low-pitched.
- This is the third episode where two clues are found outside with only one clue found inside.
- This is the first time where both of the last two clues are found outside.
- This is also the third episode where the children don't sing The So Long Song. Two other episodes of season one were What Time Is It for Blue? and Blue's Story Time. This is also the last episode to do that until Blue's Senses from Season 2, which was put to almost permanent use. However, they did in the UK version.
- The last credit slide was unusually long as the credits were intended to be shorter. It needed a major update thanks to a deleted scene. The credit music was re-recorded, and the last credit slide was put back to the duration from A Snowy Day.
- At the end of the episode, Steve does not say, "Thank you so much for all your help today". Instead, he says, "So am I".
Goofs
- When Steve heads toward the kitchen to his right from the thinking chair with the 2 juggling balls, he reappears coming from the left of the thinking chair.
- After Steve draws the third clue (a wheel), the pawprint is still seen on the wheel.
- Steve skidoos to the book in this episode slower than usual.
- This also happened in Tickety's Favorite Nursery Rhyme and The Big Book About Us.
