As Ranger Trail opens, the player has just arrived at Camp Wonderoo, where
he will collect items from a list provided by Ranger Rudy, take pictures of
animals, search for the elusive and mysterious Wonderoo and work toward
earning his Junior Ranger Patch. The focus is on nature in this point and
click cartoon-style adventure – clicking on spots in each scene yields
information about animals, artifacts and plants, and an occasional piece of
advice such as: “never eat anything you find in the woods”.

In the initial scene around a campfire Ranger Rudy hands over a virtual camera
that the player will use to take three pictures of Wonderoo spottings and
other pictures of things he has sighted, all to be shown at the end as a
slideshow. Clicking on the other campers allows the player to listen to camp
songs and follow along with the “bouncing ball” lyrics. Clicking on the camp
lantern lets the player listen to animal and insect night sounds, as well as
Ranger Rudy snoring.

There are a few other activities as well, each one earns a printable
certificate:

* Supplies – the player must sort through all the objects from the bus, piling the items that are useful for camping in Ranger Rudy’s arms and returning the others to the bus
* Astronomy – the player must connect the dots of a constellation
* Sailing – maneuvering a log boat up a stream in a race
* Cave Painting – an art page, where the player can use feathers and flowers as brushes
* Nature – a match game featuring outdoor images

After earning their Junior Ranger Patch, players can go back to the activities
from a map screen or view a slideshow of the pictures they have taken.
