Essentially the game play involves one big treasure hunt. Hunt down the park residents, find out what they have lost, and then hunt down the relevant items to keep them happy. And it's a hunt that's all good fun in this brightly coloured land consisting of 48 locations and a host of creatures to interact with. Rubin the Rabbit has lost his trousers, Bizzie Bee needs a pail for her honey, Murray the Monkey wants some music, and there's sure to be something useful in the tree house if the five missing rungs of the ladder can be found. In order to earn more magic points and get some handy help, the player can take a book from the shelf and play a game. There are around 11 different games, not all of the same merit, but mostly very good. As well as a memory game there are games that teach telling the time on an old fashioned analogue clock, number and letter recognition, spelling and arithmetic. | Essentially the game play involves one big treasure hunt.

Tales from Paradise Park (also known as Play & Learn: Tales from Paradise Park) is the first game in the series. There exist to distinct versions of this game, but they both have the same end goal: The witch have stolen the fairy's wand, so Skipper and Skeeto need to help all the animals of Paradise Park such that they can help getting it back.
Plot Summary
Under cover of a crackling storm the wicked witch swoops in through the window and snatches the good fairy's magic wand. The good fairy groans in despair because without her wand she is grounded. She rushes to her wishing well and immediately asks Skipper and Skeeto to get it back. She tells them, that the wicked witch has hidden it somewhere in Paradise Park and that if Skipper and Skeeto seek out all the animals that live in the park and help them to find their lost items, then they in turn will help to prise the wand from the clutches of the wicked witch. So begins this sweet little play and learn adventure with Skipper the mole and Skeeto the mosquito.
Gameplay
Essentially the game play involves one big treasure hunt. Hunt down the park residents, find out what they have lost, and then hunt down the relevant items to keep them happy. And it's a hunt that's all good fun in this brightly coloured land consisting of 48 locations and a host of creatures to interact with. Rubin the Rabbit has lost his trousers, Bizzie Bee needs a pail for her honey, Murray the Monkey wants some music, and there's sure to be something useful in the tree house if the five missing rungs of the ladder can be found. In order to earn more magic points and get some handy help, the player can take a book from the shelf and play a game. There are around 11 different games, not all of the same merit, but mostly very good. As well as a memory game there are games that teach telling the time on an old fashioned analogue clock, number and letter recognition, spelling and arithmetic.
