The Big Picture

The Big Picture is a Cartoon Network and Teletoon online game about Total Drama Action. In this game, the players need to take photos of the Total Drama Action contestants (minus Courtney) that are running from one side of the screen to the other.

On April 4, 2011, adding on to the original part of the game, you could also earn badges (just like in several other Cartoon Network games) for your profile by completing different tasks, including taking a picture with two people in it, taking a picture with three people in it, taking a picture with four people in it, taking a picture with two couples in it, scoring 100,000 points, as well as a badge for completing all of the tasks and earning the badges. This was the first Total Drama game to have badges added to it.

Gameplay
The main goal of the game is to capture the best photos possible in order to earn money. The amount of money earned for each photo is as follows:

In order to move to the next level, players must make a certain amount of money within a set amount of time. If they fail to reach the goal, they are taken to a game over screen, and are given the option to print or save their best pictures.
 * Photos that have one person can be worth 50-250 points.
 * Photos that have a castmate hidden behind a scenery part can be worth 300-500 points.
 * Photos that have two people can be worth 500-900 points.
 * Photos that have three people can be worth 1,000-1,200 points.
 * Photos that have a pairing or couple shown can be worth over 3,000 points, making them one of the most valuable photos in the game.
 * Photos that have two or more of the above factors vary in amount.
 * Note: Photos that are blurry or not centered are worth less points. They are usually worth three, four, or five points, no matter how many characters are in the image. Images without characters earn nothing. The focus may reduce or increase the amount of points that the picture is worth.

Studios

 * The Beach Set: As seen in Monster Cash and in Beach Blanket Bogus. For reasons unknown, Bridgette will often either not appear or only appear once for the duration of the game when this set is used.
 * The Space Set: The characters run very fast, but all move at the same speed. This set has the least lags, however. It was briefly seen in Monster Cash, but never used for a challenge during Total Drama Action, although there was a space-themed challenge.
 * The Small Town Set: As seen in Monster Cash, Super Hero-ld and Mutiny on the Soundstage.
 * The Western Town Set: As seen in 3:10 to Crazytown and Mutiny on the Soundstage.

Couples

 * Harold and Leshawna
 * Bridgette and Geoff
 * Gwen and Trent
 * Izzy and Owen

Trivia

 * This is the second Total Drama Action game to be produced. The first was Best. Game. Ever..
 * Some of the cast run in similar ways that they did in parts of the series.
 * DJ runs the way he did when he saw the killer in Hook, Line, and Screamer and the monster in Monster Cash.
 * Harold runs similar to how he did in 3:10 to Crazytown, when he thought Owen was right behind him trying to rope him.
 * Beth runs the same way she did in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, when she ran to hug Chris.
 * Some characters who were in the final ten last season have recycled run scenes from the game for that episode in Total Drama Island: Totally Interactive!.
