GUIDE
Who Did the Mischief?How to play & tips
The room you were watching is somehow a little different. Find the work of a mischievous fairy in a picture that changes ever so slowly.
What kind of game is it?
Three rooms — Cat’s Reading Room, Bunny’s Tea Room and Bear’s Bakery — each hide 5 bits of mischief, for 15 in all. In each room, a mischievous fairy — Kossorin, Mogurin or Fuerun — quietly changes the little things.
How to play
Choose a puzzle from “Find the mischief” on the home screen. After you look at the picture for 3 seconds, one spot slowly changes. The change takes 20 seconds in a room’s first puzzle, gets shorter in later ones, and takes 13 seconds in the last. If you haven’t made a mistake, you can still answer for 3 seconds after the change ends.
When you spot what changed, tap it. A mistake costs one heart and 2 seconds of time (4 seconds if the change has barely begun). You have 3 hearts, or 2 in a room’s last puzzle; run out and the round ends. Right after a mistake, taps are ignored for a moment.
Hints and answers
A little while after the change starts, the hint button fills up and you can use one hint. A frame shows the rough area of the answer. When you get it right, you see the before and after once, and the fairy behind the mischief pops out. If time runs out or you lose all your hearts, choose “Try again” to retry or “Show answer” to see it.
Decorating with furniture
The first time you solve a puzzle, you get furniture that looks like the item that was changed, and it’s placed in your own room on the home screen (Room, Terrace or Kitchen). Just viewing the answer doesn’t earn furniture.
Solving a puzzle opens the next one. Find all 5 in a room to complete it and read that fairy’s profile. Your time to find each puzzle is recorded: your best time and a “Perfect” mark for finding it with no mistakes and no hint appear in the album and the puzzle list.
Tips to improve
- In the short time before the change begins, take in the number, colors and places of the little items.
- The change is very slow. Glancing over the whole picture now and then works better than staring at one spot.
- Mistakes cost hearts and time. Don’t tap at random — use the hint when you’re unsure.
