'''Mata Nui Explorer''' is an [[Online Games|online game]] in which the player explores the island of [[Mata Nui (Location)|Mata Nui]].

== Content ==
The player can go to eight places, all around the island and click objects and characters that appeared in ''[[BIONICLE: Mask of Light]]'' to learn more about them. All characters will also have a gallery of pictures and the major characters in ''BIONICLE: Mask of Light'' have small movie clips.

In every area, there are two special places where a player can click to answer a trivia question. If answered correctly, the player will be rewarded with a small movie clip. If answered incorrectly, the player is sent back to the area and may try again, until they get the question right. Due to a glitch in the game, clicking the incorrect answer to a secret question but then, quickly, choosing the correct answer, will cause the secret movie to play instead of being prompted to try again. 

To move look around in an area, the player can click a gold button with a telescope and two arrows in the bottom right-hand corner. A minimized version of the entire game area will show up. The player can drag the white box to see the parts in it.

To go to a different area, the player can click the gold button in the bottom left-hand corner. When clicked, a map of Mata Nui will appear with dots, representing the areas. The player can click these dots to go to the area. A red dot signifies the area the player is in. An orange dot means the place has been visited and a white dot represents an unvisited place.
