Hi, out there!
It's me, Steve.
Have you seen Blue, my puppy?
There she is!
Come on in.
[barking...]
[alien voice]: Meep-meep-meep, meep...
Endrup eebit, meep...
Greetings, Earth being.
[laughs]
[normal voice]: No, wait, see?
It's me-- Steve.
I didn't scare you, did I?
See, I was all dressed up for the big costume party!
Hey, what did you dress up as?
Oh, that is so good.
How did you think of that?
Love that costume.
Come on.
Blue can't wait to show you her costume.
She's in her room with Magenta.
Hey, Blue, Magenta, look who's here.
We can't wait to see those costumes.
[happy barking]
Blue? Magenta?
Is that you?
[both barking]
Great. Let's see those costumes.
[barks]
Oh... oh, it's a little hint.
Blue wants us to figure out what she's dressed up as.
You will help me figure this out, right?
Great!
So, how should we begin?
[sighs]
You know, maybe we should take a closer look
and describe what we see.
Yeah.
Okay... so, what do we see here?
[barks hello]
Good observation.
Well, let's think about this.
What do you think Blue's costume could be?
Great idea.
Let's test it and see.
Hey, Blue, what are you dressed as?
[barks]
It's another hint.
Okay, well, now that we can see more of her costume
let's rethink our idea.
So, what could Blue be dressed as
that's orange, has scales and a tail like that?
[barks softly]
A fish!
A fish? A fish!
That is definitely a possibility.
Let's test it out.
Hey, Blue, are you dressed as a fish?
[barks]
Yeah, that's it!
Great job!
Okay, Magenta, it's your turn.
Let's see.
Magenta?
Where's your costume?
[barking]
Oh, are you having trouble deciding what to wear?
[barks]
Well, um, what could Magenta wear to the costume party?
[barking]
Blue has an idea!
We'll play Blue's Clues
to figure it out what Magenta could wear to the costume party!
Then we can all get in our costumes.
♪ We are gonna play Blue's Clues ♪
♪ 'cause it's a really great game, yeah! ♪
So remember, Blue's paw print will be on the clues--
Blue's Clues.
[squeaking]
Hey, look at that.
[thunder rumbling]
Paw Print is all dressed up, too.
[squeaks]
Dressed up like a storm cloud.
[thunder booming...]
Spooky.
Hey, you know what we need
to play Blue's Clues: our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
[spooky voice]: Ooh... ah...
I've got your notebook, Steve...
Side Table, is that you?
Uh-huh.
I'm being a ghost table...
Here's your notebook.
In my drawer...
[spooky voice]: Ooh....
Thank you, Ghost Table...
To play Blue's Clues, we got to find a...
Paw print!
Oh, a paw print, right.
And that's our first... clue!
A clue? A clue!
Then we put it in our... Notebook.
♪ 'Cause they're Blue's Clues
♪ Blue's Clues
♪ We got to find another paw print, that's the second clue ♪
♪ We put it in our notebook, 'cause they're whose clues? ♪

You know, I can tell I'm really going to need your help today
trying to figure out what costume
Magenta could wear to the party.
You will help me, right?
Great!
[doorbell rings]
Ooh! More guests for the costume party!
Ooh!
Who could this be?
[bubbling]
What is that?
An octopus.
Oh, exactly-- an octopus.
Well, who could be in that octopus costume?
I have an idea, let's observe.
[alien voice]: Observation commencing.
Oolap squeedybeedeeps.
Greetings, Octopus.
[deep voice]: Blub-blub.
Hello, Alien.
[normal voice]: Whoa...!
Look, bubbles!
And I could have sworn I heard a "whoa...!"
Who do think could be in that costume?
Slippery Soap!
You think?
Well, let's test our idea and see.
[alien voice]: Are you the being they call Slippery Soap?
Yup, it's me. See?
Ha! Tested!
It's definitely Slippery Soap.
Let's party!
[alien voice]: Let's go see what they're up to.
And do not forget to keep an eyestalk out for Blue's Clues.
A clue! A clue!
What is this thing you call clue?
A clue.
[laughs]
Really? You see a clue? Where?
Right there!
Oh!
[alien voice]: Blue paw-printed object spotted.
[laughs]
This is fun.
Oh, these prints are our first clue.
We have our first clue.
Now we need our handy-dandy...
Notebook.
Notebook, right.
Okay...
[spooky laughter]
Yikes.
So, first we draw a circle
and color it in for the paw...
and then some little circles for the toes, like this.
There... little prints.
So, we're trying to figure out
what Magenta could wear to the costume party
with these prints.
Do you know?
Yeah, maybe, but I think
we'd better find two more Blue's Clues.
Slippery: Steve! Steve!
Steve, we need a judge for our Monster Toss.
I love the Monster Toss.
Will you judge with me?
Great.
So... which cauldron has more monster bags in it?
Let's observe.
Okay...
now that we've had a closer look
let's think about this.
So, which cauldron has more monster bags?
That one.
You think so?
Well, let's test our idea and see.
One, two, three, four.
Four monster bags in cauldron number one.
And one, two, three, four, five, six.
Six monster bags in cauldron number two.
So, which cauldron has more monster bags?
That one!
Right, cauldron number
because it has six monster bags and the other one only had four.
You're so good at figuring things out.
[both barking]
Oh, you cleaned up.
Good job.
A clue! A clue!
Oh, I don't know.
Should we count this one?
No! A clue!
Well, it would involve a recount.
A clue. Right there!
Oh... it is, it's a clue!
There's a clue on these... whiskers.
You know what we need?
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Notebook, right.
So... whiskers are our second clue.
[spooky laughter]
[spooky laughter]
So, we'll draw three lines that come together
and then three more lines on the other side.
There-- whiskers.
So, what could Magenta wear to the costume party
with paw prints...
and whiskers?
Hmm, maybe.
We better find our last Blue's Clue just to be sure.
[Blue barks]
More guests.
[barks]
Oh, look, it's Boo!
Aah!
Aah!
[barks]
Oh... I forgot how sensitive Boo can be.
Hiya, Boo!
Aah!
Oh, hi, Steve.
Do you like my costume?
I'm a bag of leaves.
I have to say that is
the best bag of leaves costume I ever saw.
Steve, I have a story to tell you.
Do you want to hear it?
[barking happily]
[barking "Blue Skidoo"]
Let's go, too.
♪ Blue skidoo, we can too!
Well, a long time ago
on a night just like this one
there was an Oogulah Boogulah who lived in my house.
Let's find her.
Okay, uh... you will go with me, right?
Great.
[barking "Oogulah Boogulah"]
Well, this Oogulah Boogulah
always left papers with directions
for people who wanted to find her
and there's one right there!
"If Oogulah Boogulah you want to find
turn around and walk behind."
"Within this hall it is your chore
to open up the tallest door."
Oh, okay, so these directions
say we need to open up the tallest door.
Okay.
First, let's observe.
Uh-huh... uh-huh... uh-huh.
Okay, now we better think about it.
Which door do you think is the tallest?
You think?
Okay, well, let's test it and see.
Okay, this door comes up to the top of my head.
This door comes up to my eyes.
This door comes up to my mouth.
And this one comes up to my forehead.
All right.
Now that we've got some more information
let's rethink it.
Which is door do you think is the tallest?
That one!
Good observation!
That door is definitely the tallest!
[door creaking]
Oogulah Boogulah?
"Go through this door.
"You won't be bored.
Oogulah Boogulah will be the reward."
"If Oogulah Boogulah you're trying to find
The staircase with more steps you need to climb."
Okay, well, how can we tell which staircase has more steps?
Observe.
Good thinking.
Okay.
So, let's think about this.
Which staircase do you think has more steps?
You think?
All right, well
let's test our idea and see.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
This staircase doesn't have any more steps
but this one keeps going.
Nine, ten, .
So, which staircase had more steps?
That one!
Right! That one!
Because that one only had eight
and this one has .
is more than eight
so we need to climb this.... spooky-looking staircase.
[stairs creaking]
"Once you go behind the curtain
Oogulah Boogulah is nearby for certain."
"Look high, look low.
"The room with the smaller number of black tiles
is where you should go."
Okay, let's observe again.
Now, let's think about this.
Which room do you think has the smaller number of black tiles?
Okay, let's test it out and see.
One, two, three, four, five...
six, seven, eight, nine.
Nine black tiles in there, and...
one, two, three, four, five...
six, seven.
Seven black tiles in there.
So which room has the smaller number of black tiles?
That one.
Oh, right, that one.
Because seven black tiles is less than nine black tiles.
We need to go in there.
[humming conga b*at...]
Well, it sounds like the Oogulah Boogulah
is right over there.
Uh, are you sure you still want to see this Oogulah Boogulah?
Okay, I'll go if you go.
Okay.
Well, there you are.
I sent Boo to get you.
Are you the Oogulah Boogulah?
It's the Oogulah Boogulah!
He's...
[laughs]
I wasn't scared at all.
Were you? No.
I made some Oogulah Boogulah treats for Blue's party.
These are for you.
[to conga b*at]: ♪ Oogulah Boogulah...
Thank you very much.
See you later.

[board squeaks]
[squeaks]
What is that?
A clue! A clue!
Is that coming from you?
No! A clue!
No, it's not you.
Then what is it?
[squeaks]
Oh! Oh, it's a clue!
And it's this...
[squeaks]
Squeak sound.
You know what we need?
Our handy-dandy...
Notebook!
Notebook, right.
Okay, we...
[spooky laughter]
We can draw some little lines here
to help us remember this squeak sound.
Hey, that was our third clue.
You know what that means?
We're ready to sit in our...
Thinking Chair!
Thinking Chair! Let's go!
[barking "Blue Skidoo"]
Okay, now that we're in our Thinking Chair, let's think.
So, we're trying to figure out what Magenta could wear to the costume party.
[spooky laughter]
Let's observe.
Our first clue is these prints.
Let's think.
Lots of animals make prints.
Maybe Magenta could be...
a rhinoceros.
Our second clue is these whiskers.
Hmm...
So, do you think a rhinoceros costume
is what Magenta could wear
with these prints and whiskers?
No.
No, you're right
because a rhinoceros doesn't have whiskers.
Okay, let's rethink.
Prints, whiskers...
Ooh! Maybe Magenta could be a cat.
Great! Now let's test this cat idea with our third clue.
Our third clue is this squeak sound.
[squeaking]
Does a cat make a squeak sound?
No!
No... well, let's rethink.
What costume could Magenta wear to the party
that makes these footprints, has whiskers
and makes a squeak sound?
[squeaking]
A mouse costume!
A mouse costume! That's it!
Because a mouse makes these footprints, has whiskers
and makes a squeak sound.
