Summary

Nothing is what it seems in Townsville! The Powerpuff Girls have been sent on a perfectly innocent scavenger hunt by Ms. Keane until the evil HIM steps in with his own version of the game to spice things up! Take control of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup and defeat the villains, solve the mystery, and teach HIM a lesson once and for all........

Styled as an RPG, you play as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup to search all over Townsville for scavenger hunt items (the game's main objective), go through a series of battles, and play mini-games along the way. The gameplay is somewhat similar to Bad Mojo Jojo, Battle HIM, and Paint the Townsville Green for the Game Boy Color, except you play as all 3 girls in the same game.
