Tidy Up a Bit With: The Scruffs

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.
