In the application version of Rice Ball Riddle, the number of turns and time it takes to win are recorded so that when players rack up more wins, they’re rewarded with a special title screen.
Includes new “Tough Mode,” where the game continues until the player solves the mystery!
The game is a new take on the classic mastermind logic game.

The “How to play” button displays instructions.

1. The computer (Smartphone) conceals 4 rice balls.

2. Tap the screen to start the game. The clock will start.

3. The player tries to guess the computer’s arrangement, placing the rice balls along the lowest open row. (In the Smartphone version, the player taps the rice ball from the bottom table that they wish to move, and then taps the space into which to move it. (The position of the rice balls can be changed by dragging them.)

4. When all four rice balls are placed, tap the “判定” button. (Until the “判定” button is tapped, the balls can be moved and replaced.)

5. If any of the rice balls have the correct contents, the player receives a “お茶(Tea Card)”、 while if the contents and position are correct, the player receives a “おしんこ(Pickle Card.)” However, the computer will not reveal to the player which of the rice balls are correct.

6. While trying to guess which of the selections are correct, the player exchanges the rice balls with each turn to solve the riddle.
