“We wanted to make something that kids and families will remember as one their favourite games of all time,” said Shainiel Deo, CEO of Halfbrick Studios.
BBC Studios and Halfbrick Studios have teamed up to launch Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen – a new adventure video game inspired by the show.
Inspired by the hand-drawn worlds of the Dragon and Escape episodes from the show, Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen sees players explore nine levels in a new story written by Bluey creator Joe Brumm.
Players can uncover hidden treasures, solve puzzles,and embark on mini quests as they glide, fly and skate through challenges.
“Bluey has always been about turning small moments into big adventures,” said Bluey creator Joe Brumm.
“Writing Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen and seeing the game come to life has been a lot of fun, and I’m excited for families to play and experience the world of Bluey in a way that only imagination can make possible.”
Shainiel Deo, CEO of Halfbrick Studios, added: “We wanted to make something that kids and families will remember as one their favourite games of all time.
“Joe and I have been friends for years, and that closeness made it easy to create something authentic to Bluey while aiming for the kind of timeless fun we all remember from classic games. Our hope is that Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen becomes one of those special games that makes the kind of memories that players will treasure for years to come.”
Marina Mello, Global Director, Gaming & Interactive, BBC Studios, said: “Witnessing the collaboration between Halfbrick, Joe Brumm and Ludo Studio on this project has been an absolute delight.
“It’s been a true meeting of creative minds in Brisbane, and their craft shines through every element of the game. This is a fresh and imaginative take on Bluey – something totally different for our fans, still filled with the humour and warmth they love, but with a touch more challenge for those ready for it”.
Bluey’s Quest for the Gold Pen will launch on December 11th exclusively on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac, followed by Google Play on January 10th 2026. Halfbrick, in partnership with PM Studios, will also be bringing the game to PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S later in 2026.
