Gameplay[]
The game follows the traditions of four households around Thanksgiving: the Reads, the Baxters, the Ratburns, and the the Crosswires. The player can visit these houses in any order, and the player is intended to serve Thanksgiving dinner to the residents. Also, each house has a unique activity players can complete, as well as the option to take a family photo. The specific options for each home can be seen in the table below.
| Arthur's Home | Muffy's Home | Buster's Home | Mr. Ratburn's Home | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Guests |
Note: Kate is not served any of the food, but she does drink out of her sippy cup when it is clicked. Pal is able to eat the food, but he is served one item at a time on his plate. |

| Interactive Activity | "Thankfulness Poster", where users can put various stickers relating to Thanksgiving and special items in the Arthur series, such as Pal, Stanley, and bicycles. The poster will then be shown in Arthur's dining room. | Users make meal trays for donating to individuals in need. In each tray, there are six food items, but some are 'missing' and show silhouettes of the food that needs to be put in the slots, where users will match the food on the bottom of the screen to the appropriate silhouette. | Users are brought to the community garden, where they pick the "Three Sisters" for the stew: corn, green beans, and squash. Buster explains how the "Three Sisters" 'help each other grow', and then the users click on various leaves which are covering the vegetables. After this, they click the vegetables to pick for the stew. (This is repeated for the 3 vegetables)
NOTE: While not an 'activity', there is also a book pictured on Buster's Thanksgiving table users can click on which includes a land acknowledgement for the city of Elwood City. |
Users are brought to the kitchen, where they are able to click on ingredients to put in a bowl to make into a chocolate cake. Users can then frost the cake with the option of 3 colored frostings: red, yellow, orange. |
