The Interactive DVD Games were learning segments and small educational videos which usually appeared between episodes on ninth series DVDs. Some of the segments are animated while the rest are live-action. The segments were narrated by Michael Angelis in the UK and Michael Brandon in the US.
The segments only appeared on two of the DVDs before a change was made starting with Milkshake Muddle.

Plot[]
Arthur is asked to pick up special coal for Henry at Brendam Docks, but on his way he finds hay bales are blocking his track. The player can choose help from either Harold, Bertie or Trevor. If the player chooses Harold, then he will blow straw in Arthur's face. If the player chooses Bertie, then the hay bales will block his road. And if the player chooses Trevor, then the hay bales are successfully removed from the line. Once the line is clear, Arthur discovers a boulder blocking the line. The player can choose from either cable drums, some pots of jam or Harold. If the player chooses the cable drums, then they will just tie the boulder up. If the player chooses the pots of jam, then it will just make the boulder sticky. And if the player chooses Harold, Harold is able to airlift the boulder from the line. Arthur thanks the player for the help and the player is rewarded with an image of Arthur to colour-in.
