Car Finder Game
The Car Finder Game is an interactive game that was included on the Blu-ray edition of the Cars movie.
Gameplay
The player is given five different character icons at the bottom of the screen while the movie is playing in the background. If one of the five characters appears on-screen, the player must click on that character's icon. Once clicked, a new character's icon will take its place and that previous character will have its profile unlocked in the Car Guide. The game's main objective is to reach 99999 points and to have every profile unlocked from every character.
Two minigames can also be played within the game. The first one, which is exclusive to Level 1, has the player to locate and click on certain Piston Cup racers while the movie is paused, and the second one, which is exclusive to Level 2, has the player to click on the correct artwork of a Radiator Springs resident, out of two incorrect artworks.
