It was published by Little Orbit for Nintendo 3DS , PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Windows, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.[2] This is the fourth game based on the animated television series Adventure Time following The Secret of the Nameless Kingdom, and the first action-adventure title in the series presented in full 3D graphics.[2] The game was first announced on April 21, 2015,[3] and released on October 20, 2015, in North America,[1][2] and on November 6 in Europe.
The game was removed from digital storefronts on March 31, 2018, due to the expiration of Little Orbit's Adventure Time license.[4]
Overview
Players check out Land of Ooo locales, talk to characters, sharpen their creative puzzle-solving skills, and defeat bad guys. Loosely based on the TV show's sixth season, the game features a focus on exploring, investigating, and puzzle-solving. Thanks to the discovery of an assignment printing machine called the 'tickertype,' Finn and Jake decide to become detectives like their parents, Joshua and Margaret. Players gradually fill the treasure room of Finn and Jake's Tree House with treasure from enemies that they defeat.[2]

It has a score of 66 on Metacritic.[5] Nintendo Life awarded it a score of 7 out of 10, saying "While it might prove too basic for more advanced players, younger players and families should have a fun time questing with dog and human. Big fans of the show, of course, should not feel so afraid to give this one a try, either."[6] Nintendo World Report awarded it a score of 7 out of 10, saying "By default, I feel as if this is the best Adventure Time video game so far. It's not perfect, and it's a little on the easy side, but as an Adventure Time fan, it made me smile."[7]
