Muppet Treasure Island is an educational title aimed at children, based on the movie of the same name. The game features simple tasks and puzzles, as well as full motion video sequences.

Benbow Inn

After the opening cutscene, click on the exit door to head outside. Take the key hanging over the door, and search the bottle near the water to find a letter from Captain Flint. Read this, then return inside. Go up the stairs on the right. Click on the bottom part of the clock, then take the rock (1/4). Continue through the door to the right.

Examine the treasure chest, then drag the key into it to open it. Pick up each item in the chest and drop it, until you can click on the treasure map. Back out from the chest and jump out the window.

Bristol Docks

Go straight ahead to the large ship/house, then approach the door and use the knocker. Back out, then go right and enter the clothing store. You need to earn doubloons in a minigame. Click on a pie to load it into the weapon, then press the red button when you hear dark and foreboding music. Once you have earned 14 doubloons, look to the right and click on the most expensive clothes to buy them. Leave the store again.

Go straight ahead once more and knock on the door. Click on the treasure map, then take the seal you are offered. Back out, then go left and approach the Spyglass. Click on the eye-patch that matches your clothes, then go inside. Approach the piano and play it until you can collect another rock (2/4). Leave the bar again and head left. Approach the Hispanola and talk to the first mate, who will let you board since you have the seal.

The Hispanola

Look at the chore list posted on the mast straight ahead.

Go through the dark doorway at the bottom of the screen. Talk to the one-legged pirate, who wants an apple pie. Pick up the apples and drag them into the pie crust. Keep doing this until the pie is complete (a mouse will occasionally eat an apple, but just keep going). Once the pie is finished, ring the bell on the right. Now leave through the door on the right.

Turn right. Pick up each of the 3 small barrels here and hang them on Gonzo's nose as it swings past. Turn right again and approach the cannon on the left. Click on an object at the bottom left and place it on the small platform on the left so it gets sucked into the cannon. Now press the red button on the cannon to fire it and destroy 3 ships. Turn right again and lower the anchor by pressing the down arrow on the round golden plaque. Now raise the anchor by pressing the up arrow.

Turn left 3 times, then go forward to the middle of the screen (you will be behind a green sailor who is steering the ship). Go through the door on the left, then click on the chest of drawers at the bottom right. Open each drawer and click on each item to gradually build a ship. Look up once you are done, then leave the room and it will be night time.

Click on each of the bright stars to highlight a series of constellations (you can click on them in almost any order). Now go forward and you will end up in a barrel. Try to leave the barrel.

Once it is day time again, climb out of the barrel. Leave through the door on the right. Go forward to the steering wheel and turn it as instructed - you will eventually reach your destination. Leave here by going forward, then head right to the small boat and you will be kidnapped and taken to the island.

Treasure Island

Go forward into the forest. Click on the right eye of the large stone head, then take the rock (3/4). Leave by going to the left, then collect the final rock (4/4) from the tree on the right. Search the bottle at the base of the tree to find another letter from Captain Flint. Enter the forest again and look at the puzzle at the base of the large stone head. Move the 4 stones to their correct positions according to their directions. Once this is done, click on the arrows to move the 4 coins to the 4 middle positions. Enter the cave.

Open any 3 of the treasure chests to find they are all empty. Go right and click on the bottom skull to hear the phrase "dead men tell no tales". Now click on 5 other skulls to repeat this phrase in the correct order. You will automatically go through to the next area.

There are a series of shells around the mirror on the left. Click on one of the left shells, then one of the right shells. Match all 5 pairs of gems and you will find a secret passage to a treasure room. Click on the treasure repeatedly until it is all gone, then follow it to return to the beach. Click on the bad guys to hit them with coconuts until the flag on the ship changes. Click on the treasure to put it on the ship, then open the treasure chest that appears and you can watch scenes from the movie. Board the ship.
