Animals of the World - How to Play

How to Play

The object of the game is to correctly guess the mystery animal using as few clues as you can.

Start off by choosing one of the five animal groups. Read about that type of animal and then pick a game to play.

Each game has 10 clues. Click on a question and you'll see a clue and part of the animal's picture. When you think you know the mystery animal, type in your answer. If you need more help, click another question for a new clue.

You don't have to include words like "a," "an" or "the" in your answer. So if you want to guess "lion," you only have to type "lion," not "a lion." Some answers also might be two words.

After your first clue, your score will start going down. If you guess the mystery animal using just one clue, your score will be 10. If you use two clues, it will be 9. Get the idea?

You have five chances to guess the mystery animal. If you don't get it by the fifth guess, the game is over.
