Rugrats: Search for Reptar is a 1998 platform video game developed by n-Space and published by THQ. It was released in North America in October or November 1998 and in Europe in November 1998, exclusively for PlayStation. Based on the television show Rugrats, the game follows the show's main character, Tommy Pickles, who has lost his Reptar puzzle. It features stages based on episodes from the television show and minigames. Its sequel was Rugrats: Studio Tour.
The game was developed with the intent of appealing to children. A marketing campaign, the second-biggest of 1998, was formed in conjunction between Sony Computer Entertainment America and THQ for its North American release to bolster the children's market on the PlayStation. The game received mixed reviews from critics, though it has regularly been noted that children will enjoy it. It was criticized for its camera and control mechanics and praised for its graphics. It was well-received commercially and was the third-best-selling game in the first two weeks of its release. The game was incorporated into the Greatest Hits brand and sold nearly 1.5 million copies in the US, becoming one of the best-selling games on the PlayStation.
