Tidy Up a Bit With: The Scruffs

in For Kids & Teens, For Parents & Teachers, Game Reviews and Reviews

A British Suburban family not known for keeping their house tidy has suddenly found themselves in dire financial straights in this hidden object game. The father, who appears to be the sole bread-winner, has received a phone call from work notifying him of his employment termination.

This is grim news for everyone and tells his family that the house must be sold since there are bills to be paid and no money coming in. Grandpa, on the other hand has great news; He has a list of items that if sold can bring in enough money pay all the bills and keep the house.

You have the option at the beginning of play whether you want to play a timed or relaxed version of this game. If it’s your first time playing you might want to try the relaxed version first.

You begin your scavenger hunt at either the boy’s room or the front-yard, either way you’re in for a challenge. Although there doesn’t seem to be many objects in any of the scenes, all the items that you will be searching for are very well camouflaged and difficult to spot.

Luckily the family dog “Scruffy” is there with you through every scene. Although he sleeps most of the time, if you should end up stumped and unable to find an object on your list, scruffy can be bribed into showing you where one of the hidden objects is. For this service he will charge you one bone for every item. Should you run out of bones, look in each scene where one more bone will be hidden, with a total of 20 in all.

After finding the objects in each scene, you can play a mini-game and rack up additional points in between scenes.

If you consider the cast of characters, the very fitting background music and the challenging hidden object searches as well as the mini-games and the progression of the gameplay, not to mention the final outcome when Grandpa’s secret is finally revealed, this is great game with more than meets the eye.

In this hidden object game the eccentric proprietor of the antique shop has had a series of bad events impacting his business and his life over all. He has been been a prominent member of the community as well as being a world traveler and having political connections but most importantly he’s in need of your help.

A number of the shop owner’s collectibles were obtained as either gifts from very important people like US presidents or while traveling the world in search of rare and unique items.

This game includes a narrator who gives simple to follow instructions along the way to make the game easier to follow.

The most important task that you have is to continue filling the orders that the customers have placed by collecting everything listed on the invoices as they come in. This is done by sorting through the many bins and locating the items on the lists.

Seymour, the toy robot appears in the searching scenes and is your key to obtaining hints along the way. He remains stationary in the scene. Click on him once in order to receive a hint which you are free to use at your convience.

Time is of the essence in this game as you are only allowed a certain amount of time to collect all the items so that they can be delivered to the customers. As the game progresses the description of the items becomes less clear and you must really thing about what you are looking for.

A very useful tool in this game is the zoom feature, which allows you a much more detailed view of the area to be search in while looking for the items on the list. To utilize this, first click on the magnifying glass at the bottom right of the screen and then on one of the quadrants to be magnified and search each area at a time to locate the listed items.

Once you’ve filled in the customer’s orders by finding all of the items on the list, you’re given a riddle and shown the scene of the same items from which you’ve gathered, then you must solve the riddle and find that item. Once completed, you receive a key to open a mini matching game and then solve the final puzzle at the end of the game.

Dora’s at it again and why not, what kid doesn’t love to spend time at the carnival especially if there are games to be played and prizes to be won? The better you do at the various carnival boardwalk games the more tickets you will earn and the better prizes you will be able to exchange for those tickets.

Dora the Explorer is a very popular cartoon series character and is known for being bilingual and describing thing in both the English and Spanish Languages. In this game she will count points that you have scored in some of the carnival events in Spanish as well as describe colors of objects and compliment your playing ability in Spanish as well.

Like most of Dora’s games, Carnival 2 is intended for players aged three to six years old. Dora’s instructions are very easy to follow and she will help the youngster all the way through the game, encouraging them as they do well and offering them positive feedback by saying things such as ; “Great job!” or “You’re a natural!”

As with all of Dora’s adventures, there is a map available and in this game it shows you where all of the carnival games are located on the boardwalk. All that the young player needs to do is move their cursor over any of the games and Dora will explain what it is and how to play it.

There is a variety of ten carnival boardwalk games in all with the possibility of a high score of ten points for each. One of the events is the popular carnival game skeet ball game that is hosted by a friendly game attendant pig who offers words of encouragement as the ball is lined up and rolled toward the winning slot.

At the end of each game the player has the option of re-playing that particular game, checking the map to see what other games there are to play or going over to the store and exchanging the tickets for prizes, which vary in value. Sometimes it’s better to continue playing and save up enough tickets for a better prize.

Tic-Tac-Toe

Published

in For Parents & Teachers, Games & Activities and Indoor Games

Tic Tac Toe Game Where you draw the line is entirely up to you in this fun, entertaining and easy to play game. All that you need to get started is a pen and paper and basic understanding of how to play the game. We all remember the simplified version Tic-Tac-Toe. Now a twist has been added; instead of the standard three, four marks in a row are needed to create a line. This can be in any direction vertical horizon or diagonal.

You start by drawing a ten by ten grid containing 100 squares or you can draw a larger grid with more squares if you prefer, that is entirely up to the players in the game and agreed upon before play begins. Different letters of the alphabet are assigned to each player which represents their personal mark.

The game begins with the first player marking any one square of his choice with his assigned letter in an attempt to line up four of his letters. If the participants in game decide to make the grid with more than just the standard 100 squares, the patterns become more complex and interesting. It might be fun to try playing this game on a standard sheet of graph paper and require six in a row instead of four to form a string.

For an added twist, why not agree before-hand to require two strings instead of the standard one to win and allow then to be joined at any point on the grid. You will see all sorts of interesting patterns developing; from T’s to L’s to V’s.

Grandmother’s House

Published

on March 21, 2009

in For Parents & Teachers, Games & Activities and Indoor Games

A Game that was created out of sheer necessity in order to keep impatient kids distracted in route to perhaps, an elderly relative’s home for a visit. Concerned parents will go to no ends to provide for their children in any way possible and that include finding a way to keep them entertain and if not for any reason other than their own sanity.

To be successful in this game a player must be able to remember a series of words arranged alphabetically and play begins as one participant uses a word starting with the letter “A” in the story. An example of that would be; “On my way to Grandmother’s house, I put an APPLE in a picnic basket to give to her. The second participant would add to the story by possibly saying; I brought an “APPLE” and “a loaf of BREAD.” The game continues with each player, in order adding another item to the list in alphabetical order.

The game continues and players are eliminated as they fail to recall the alphabetized list of items, however, if the player following the forgetful participant is also unable to recall the list of items in order, the previous player will not be eliminated and the next player has the opportunity to eliminate both. If one of the players in the group is able to remember the entire list in order, then all previous players who have forgotten are eliminated.

It is not necessary that an item be food in the case of the letter “X” when added to chain of words, since in the English dictionary there are no foods listed, starting with the letter “X.”

Once all the letters of the Alphabet have been used, the game continues with the letter “A” again but continues with original list of twenty-six entries.

A useful tip, is to create a spoken rhythm in the way in which the list recited. This often makes it much easier to remember how the story goes by creating “mental markers” along the way.

The Fox & The Geese

Published

on March 18, 2009

in For Parents & Teachers, Games & Activities and Indoor Games

Fox & Geese Game This ancient game was the creation of early Nordic hunters and was enjoyed by many once it gained widespread popularity in Italy during the medieval period, eventually reached England in the fifteenth Century and was met with much popularity and in fact it was one of Queen Victoria’s favorite pastimes.

This game requires two players, a game board made in the shape of a cross with lines of many directions creating thirty-three intersecting points. Game pieces include seventeen pieces which symbolize the geese and one piece symbolizing the fox. Once it has been decided who gets to play the fox and who plays the geese, the geese are arranged on the board accordingly and then the fox has the option of being placed anywhere he wishes on the game board.

The geese can prevail in this game by surrounding the fox and blocking all of his potential escape routes. The fox on the other hand, will is successful by eliminating twelve of geese since it would require more than five geese to halt his progress.

The fox always begins the game with the first move and can move in any direction forward or backwards to an open space. The geese on the other hand can move in any direction aside from backwards. The fox will eat a goose when he is able to jump it and land on an empty space and once a goose has been eaten it is removed from the game. As in the game of checkers, multiple jumps are possible as long as there are empty spaces to accommodate the landings.

Turns of each player must be taken and not skipped, even if this puts a player in an undesirable position. It might prove interesting to change the rule a bit and allow the geese to move backwards as well or even play the game with only thirteen pieces as in an earlier version of this game that was popular prior to the Seventeenth Century.

Making the jumps of the fox compulsory can add a whole new element to the game and can force an opponent to retreat to a previous position. The player playing the role of the geese has the ability to keep the fox in check by making sure he has made only the allowable moves.

In this game you attempt to fish for rings that have been buried in the snow. Skill and luck both play a part here.
