Single object hints obviously point to one item while fast forward hints briefly show three items in one sitting. Tokens hide in every scene for bonus points, more single object or fast forward hints, and adding time to the clock. Tokens and "Quick Find Bonus" points also carry over from San Francisco to Sydney. Casual gamers might’ve seen this feature in mahjongg-specific games, but not likely as a mini-game. Rather than playing until clearing the screen of all tiles, end the game faster by matching the two gold stars.
Like traditional mahjongg solitaire, the game calls for matching pairs of tiles that aren’t blocked by other tiles. Mahjong Tiles, although another matching tile game like Memory, changes the pace of mini-games. Not all the new mini-games turn out flat. This one is about as fun as a memory game - grows old even at the more difficult levels. Like the Bop-a-Croc, you need to meet or exceed the target number to win the level and head for the next destination. Successful matches send a fish flying into a bucket. You must find the tile that matches the selected image.
In the Pelican/Turtle Challenge, 15 tiles display a pelican or turtle in different poses. It’s a dodgy game, but some might like it as Whac-a-mole and its copies are still around for a reason. Instead of hitting moles, hit crocodiles on their noggin’ to send the pies flying out of their mouths into a basket. Remember Whac-a-mole at the arcade? Moles randomly pop up while players try to bop them with a hammer. Many match three games may exist, but the images move as the tiles fall for a great effect. The mini-game returnees are Match the Groups, a match three game that calls for making matches on every tile until they all disappear Jigsaw Puzzle, put together all the pieces in their rightful places and Memory Game, find the pairs until each one finds its mate. Three mini-games from San Francisco follow the family to Sydney where they discover three more. Timed mode adds the pressure of finding the items before the clock runs out.Īfter spying all the hidden items among kangaroos, boomerangs, and wide brimmed hats, it’s mini-game time. As expected of a hidden object game, your goal is to track down the items that appear in the inventory of things to find in the current location to collect a momento and move on to the next desination.
