Mini-Game Summary
Mini-Game Screen
- These are all of the different mini games that are available to play. Click on one to start playing a mini game.
- There are more mini games on the next page. Click on the red arrow to show the next page of mini games.
- Some of the mini games require the use of some toys to play. This icon represents which, if any, toy is required to play.
- Each mini game requires a different set of movements to play. If you hover the mouse on top of one of the mini games, the movements required in that mini game will be shown here.
- Several of the mini games can be played in two modes:
- In “Time Limit” mode, the client will play for a fixed time of 3 minutes, with an in game option of extending playtime to 4 minutes. This mode is the default and a great way to ensure a fixed amount of play.
- In “Life Limit” mode, the client has a fixed number of lives in each game. If they get hit by an enemy or obstacle in the mini game, they will lose a life. Once they run out of lives, the game is over. In this mode, play time is variable, but may be more motivating for clients who prefer a challenge.
