Selecting this will take you to where Shrek is standing outside of his swampy home. The big ogre was planning a picnic with his beloved Princess Fiona®, but the Three Blind Mice borrowed the materials for the picnic. To make matters worse, they lost them all over the swamp!
The player will control Shrek on a treasure hunt to find all the missing picnic items. Only when all the picnic items are found will Shrek and Princess Fiona be able to enjoy their picnic.

How to Play
A New Game will start Shrek in the Swamp Hub. There are ten other swamp areas that you will visit throughout the game. Each of the ten areas has one of the picnic items hidden within.
The places where Shrek can travel between swamp areas are marked with signs telling the player what area they can go to.
Mini-Game Areas
When you find a Mini-Game Area, you will see a sign. The sign tells you what kind of Key Item Shrek needs to collect to unlock the Mini-Game.
Press the Select button to view how many items you have collected on the map screen. Some items may be in places that Shrek can't get to. You must finish a certain mini-game to unlock a path to these items.
