In Putt-Putt Travels Through Time, the lovable purple car and his dog Pep accidentally get caught in a time machine mishap. To restore order, players must guide Putt-Putt through different eras—including the Prehistoric Age, the Medieval Times, and the Future—to retrieve lost items. This point-and-click adventure features interactive environments where every click reveals a new animation or clue. With randomized item locations for high replayability and educational mini-games, it's a perfect blend of fun and logic-building for children.
Dinsun Expert Review
Our Expert Score
Putt-Putt Travels Through Time is a nostalgia-heavy masterpiece that has transitioned beautifully to modern mobile devices. This isn't just a simple port; the touch controls feel natural, and the 'point-and-click' adventure style is perfectly suited for a tablet. The game is part of the gold standard of 'edutainment,' teaching children logic, problem-solving, and patience through a series of interconnected puzzles. Seeing Putt-Putt interact with dinosaurs in the prehistoric era or robots in the future is just as charming today as it was in the 90s.
The game's greatest strength is its replayability. Unlike many linear kids' games, the location of key items (like Pep's lost lunchbox or the ancient stone bowl) changes with every new game. This forces kids to actually explore and interact with the environment rather than just memorizing a path. The animations are fluid, the voice acting is top-tier, and the mini-games are genuinely fun. It’s a wholesome, high-quality adventure that encourages curiosity and critical thinking.

Excellent game
Fri Nov 25 2022 Kkline04I was so happy to see this game was on the App Store. I enjoyed playing this game on the computer as a kid and thought my youthful joys were long gone. I downloaded this to show my little brother who is 7 years old. It took a minute to figure out how to work the mouse like touch feature but after that we beat the game and he loved it too!
Nostalgic!
Sun Mar 24 2024 teddybear2123I got the game to play just as a throwback and I’m so thrilled. It’s just as I remember it. There IS sound, read some reviews about that and the game storyline/play does change. It didn’t switch up the first time, but it did the 3rd or 4th time of me fiddling around. Very happy!
Awesome BUT 1 star until story fix
Thu Aug 31 2023 Colton T MLOVED this game as a kid, and now hoping my kids can enjoy it and all the other Putt-putt (& all the other character) games Only issue is, after completing the game, story doesn’t change like it used to Only thing that changes is wheel’s bridge piece shape that’s missing Used to change what you got from where (artifact museum - used to buy the newspaper from the Wild West town to trade for your history report? I remember bringing feed to the blacksmith in medieval times for his dragon, etc. none of that happens anymore). I’ve completed the game twice and nothing has changed. No randomization. Super sad because I felt like that was one of the major pulls of the game (and all the other games made by Humongous) was the replayability & changes! Please, if you’re even watching this devs, please fix this!!!
Update unusable
Tue Nov 19 2024 raybear34There was an update that made the game no longer full screen and much smaller and harder to see and use. Please revert the update, the smaller game screen is awful! We need full screen back.
Ruined by newest update
Mon Mar 24 2025 GMCAceGame now freezes the arrow every once in a while. Have to restart the game after. While I’m happy there are now save file options, it does not help that this a point and click adventure that is functioning only half the time. Also, the game was better in when the graphics fit the screen, but they made the visuals smaller.
So much fun!
Thu Dec 03 2020 clarinerd34This is one of the few Putt Putt games I didn’t have as a kid and it’s so cool to play it now! And for anyone saying there is no sound, try unmuting the ringer on the side of the phone, that usually unmutes games and it worked for this one.
No sound
Wed Jun 30 2021 mads2299473Loved this game as a kid and was so excited to see that it was an app. I saw reviews saying there wasn’t any sound, but some reviews said their sound worked fine so I bought it. There is no sound and I have tried EVERYTHING To get it. Checked settings, made sure my phone volume was on and ringer was turned all the way up, etc. please provide an update with sound that works or refund us…:(
Amazing!
Fri Sep 24 2021 OplersquashI remember when I used to play this a lot on computer! This was a bit before every human had iPhones, so it gives me the nostalgia remembering!
