How do you play this? every time i play, the dvd always tells me to take a secret passage. i do, but where do you go on the game board?

Play the game like normal while the DVD just sits there and does nothing. Don't try to use the DVD, just keep playing the game. After 10 or 20 minutes the DVD will wake up and do something exciting. Then you continue playing like normal. Slowly, over the course of an hour, the DVD will enable more options that you can use.

We did the same thing. Then realized that we thought you could "ONLY" do what the screen told you. Re-read the directions. You EITHER move to an adjacent room (one that's connected by a walkway) OR choose "secret passageway" on the DVD. It was incredibly frustrating until we figured this out!

To take the secret passage, you obviously must first be in a room that has the secret passage (e.g, Kitchen, Lounge) and none of the passages can be locked. You must click on the menu screen "Take a Secret Passage" and move to the room to which the secret passage leads. (However, something bad usually happenss when you're down there, so be careful). The DVD never tells you to take a secret passage, though, you must choose it. In the beginning, when the menu is only "Take a Secret Passage" and "Make an Accusation," you just move and make suggestions as usual. You never have to take a secret passage. Hope this helps.

2 player games work fine. Some of the game cards will have implications for more players like play this card to the player to your right, but this doesn't hurt a 2 player game. We have a house rule if you have a blank card it is an invisible friend +1 to attack and you can't lose him even if you die. I can't remember if this box comes with a blank, but you could declare some hated curse cards a invisible friend before you start.

Hi Sheryl, well I have actually worked in a Children's psych dept. for many years and would assume that the child has a good memory? Really that is what the game boils down to. Extremely good memorization skills. You pass by trees with a picture underneath as you are making your way to the castle. You have to try to remember where the tree is that is on the card at the castle and make it there before anyone else who may also have seen it. The trick is when someone rolls doubles, they have the option of changing the picture that you are looking for. Once that has been done, the next card is flipped to reveal another image which you may or may not have already seen. If you have, you can continue your way to the castle or keep gathering more locations on trees you pass by. I think it would be frustrating for someone that doesn't have a good memory(such as myself sometimes).The younger kids seem to have such a photographic memory that they tend to do better at it. But it also comes down to who rolls of the dice get them to the spot where they can answer first. Hope this helps.

You can play a 2-player game. Technically there are 3 wonders in play because the third is played by both players in an alternating pattern. It works and is still fun.

Not sure at all, the game functions and plays normally. Likely a description of what one may do with it, add it to your collection/stockpile

Hi Bryan. When I got it it was the Pegasus Spiele with the missprint. I saw the game for 39.99 at coolstuff yesterday.

Both good questions that we also are stumped by...very poor directions! We played with just one deck of cards and no jokers with four people....maybe if you were playing with more people you would use both decks?!

Everything you can imagine! Texas Hold 'em Poker; Video poker, rummy, Old maid, Canasta, Crazy 8's, different versions of solitaire, memory games where you click on 20 squares and try to remember where the matching picture is. Hearts; Spades; different versions of blackjack; rummy. It's one of the best card game disks I've ever bought. It is a buy. I haven't' played every game but I plan to. There are even tutorials to teach you how to play the games you aren't familiar with. I'm enjoying the games. Good luck. See you in Vegas!!!!!=0)

Geri, I have never played the second edition before, so I'm not really able to speak to that, but do want to say that the original is SO MUCH FUN!!! I would email the game company and ask them. Look forward to what you find out...

I have the first wii game and I don't like it.. based on some reviews, it seems that both Wii and Dvd have the same problem.. My problem is that the steps are not really taught, so I end up fumbling all over the place, and because of the sensor, my score sucks. so if the dvd is still hard and gives no basic steps, then maybe the dvd would be better

It's difficult. You must exit the game. The clock will appear. Then you start playing again. When the NEO finds the course, you must manually move up to the hole you are on.

Hi Jacqueline, this is a board game, but you will use Never Have I Ever cards and a dice to move back and forth on the board. I hope this makes sense.

There should be a read.me file on the disc. "Also look under options. This is a very intuitive game. You have to have patience with the putting. Difficult to learn the pace of the putts.

You can't use that option to visit the inspector or view the butler's pantry until way into the game, like half an hour. Just play the game like normal and over the course of the hour long game the DVD will gradually reveal more and more options and clues.

I don't know how you play game on the DVD player. I bought it as a gift for someone.I don't believe that you can play games on them.

I bought this recently and noticed the same things that Lady Calavicci pointed out, also, the instructions don't explain who's turn it is after you've completed rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock. My sister and I kinda use trivial pursuit style rules. If you get the question right, you go again, you win rpsls, then its your turn.

Unsure what your asking. to play the game you need to look at he characters
