How to play Fishing Challenge
Start Fishing Challenge by looking at the playing area and its controls. Land as many fish as possible in five casts. Use the example below to understand a decision. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Five-cast timing/tension game, no bets or purchases.
A careful first round
Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Land as many fish as possible in five casts. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
Step by step
- Cast and wait for BITE.
- Hook promptly.
- Hold Reel for progress.
- Release to lower tension.
- Land the fish before it escapes.
Controls
Cast and Hook; hold Reel or R; Space casts/hooks. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
Alternating reeling and release avoids snapping the line. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
Early hooks, missed bites and excessive tension lose a cast. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
