Gameplay

Shrek: Treasure Hunt is a party video game in which players control Shrek on collecting items for the picnic, they will have to go through minigames and challenges, in order to complete the level and receive items. Minigames can be accessed by collecting the required amount of items throughout each platforming stage. Collectables can be found.[1][2]
