"Elmo's Number Journey" is an educational game for the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation featuring Sesame Street's Elmo. It was released in 1999.

Gameplay

Players must guide Elmo through three areas, split into two halves each, collecting the numbers needed to answer the mathematical problems posed by each area's host. Play begins on Sesame Street, where the player must choose one of three difficulty levels and then proceed to Elmo's playroom to access a tutorial, or talk to one of the hosts in order to access their area. The difficulty level determines how many problems the player must solve to proceed to the next area, and how many mistakes a player can make before game over. Unlike many videogames, there are no enemies to defeat and no races against the clock, play revolves around choosing the correct answer to problems and navigating areas with different vehicles.cite web|url = http://school.discoveryeducation.com/parents/reviewcorner/games/pselmonumber.html#entvalue| title = Elmo's Number Journey Review| publisher = Discovery Education| accessdate = 2008-06-23]

Count von Count's area is his castle, players must first traverse the garden path before entering the castle. Ernie is the host for a carnival, Elmo must be guided through the carnival until he can board a bumper car. Cookie Monster hosts an area where Elmo must first pilot a speedboat, then snowboard over Sugar Mountain. Completion of both halves of a world opens a bonus round within Elmo's funhouse, where players must solve an addition or subtraction problem by throwing balls into a giant clown's mouth.cite web| url = http://www.allgame.com/cg/agg.dll?p=agg&sql=1:20980~T0| title = Sesame Street: Elmo's Number Journey Overview| author = Weiss, Brett| publisher = allgame| accessdate = 2008-06-23]
