What is the title of the first Bluey episode that aired?

The story behind the answer

The first Bluey episode that aired was “Magic Xylophone.”

“Magic Xylophone” is the opening episode of the first series and introduces one of the show’s central ideas: ordinary family life can become an elaborate imaginative game. Bluey and Bingo discover a magical xylophone that appears to freeze Bandit whenever they play it.

The game quickly becomes a lesson in sharing and taking turns. Bingo wants to use the xylophone, but Bluey initially keeps control of it. The conflict is resolved when the sisters recognize that cooperative play is more enjoyable and fair than monopolizing the toy.

The episode premiered in Australia on 1 October 2018. It is often confused with “Keepy Uppy,” “Daddy Robot,” or “Shadowlands,” which follow it in the original episode order. “Magic Xylophone” is also the first episode title listed in the series’ episode guide.
