How to Play Animal Genius
Quick start
Choose an environment and try an activity such as Scratch 'N See. Rub away the covering, identify the animal and earn points toward the next addition. When the animal quiz becomes available, read each yes-or-no question and answer within the time limit to unlock it.
Controls
Use the stylus for the activities: rub the touch screen in Scratch 'N See, tap answers or animals when asked, and drag matches in Matchomatic. Read each activity's instructions before moving the pen; the timed quiz uses on-screen yes-or-no choices.
Animal Genius — About this game
Animal Genius turns its wildlife collection into a sequence of small Nintendo DS activities. Reveal a hidden animal picture, match creatures to characteristics or guide an animal toward food, earning the points needed to add wildlife to five environments. Unlocking an animal also brings a timed set of yes-or-no questions, so recognising a shape is only part of the task. The collection gives repeated puzzles a visible goal, while the different activities encourage observation and simple comparisons between animals.
