Tikiz

Minigame

Tiki masks pile up on the beach. Click three or more of a colour that touch and they go - before the rows reach the top.

Where to find it

  • Settings > Activities > Play, or type !tikiz in the chat - from any room.
WinMinigame Surprise BoxTikiz Hat
  • Minigame Surprise Boxfor a new personal best (your first score counts) - one box a day at most, across all the minigames
  • Tikiz Hatfor the Gold medal (reach level 8) - once
  • Finish the week in the top 3: 10, 6 or 3 Arcade Tokens, to spend at the Prize Counter (Artie, in the Lobby): a trophy of each minigame for your home, the minigame auras and more.
  • Earn a medal: 5, 10 or 15 gems, once each.
  • Do today’s challenge: 10 gems, once a day.
  • Do a feat: 10 gems, once each.
  • Solve the puzzle of the day: 10 gems, once a day.
  • The board is full of tiki masks in four colours.
  • Click on a mask (on a phone: tap it). If three or more masks of the same colour touch, the whole group goes.
  • Masks touch side by side, or one on top of the other. A slant does not count.
  • The masks above fall down. When a column is empty, the others close up towards the middle.
  • On a computer, the group under your mouse lights up: that is what a click will take. Stuck? After a few seconds one group twinkles.
  • Take 8 or more masks at once and a stick of dynamite is left where you clicked. Click on it when you want: it blows up everything within three squares - other sticks too.
  • A new row grows under the board. When it is ready, it pushes every column up by one.
  • In a hurry? Click on the row to come (or press Space) and it comes in now, for 200 points. You can do that 3 times a level.
  • Every 10 rows you go up a level, and the rows come faster. The sign shows your level, your score, and how many rows are left to the next level.
  • The little board beside the sign shows the level’s goal, your quick clicks and your second chance.
  • When a column is nearly at the top, its masks shake and you hear a beat. Deal with it first!
  • If a mask is pushed out of the top of the board, you get one second chance a game: the top three rows are blown away. The next time, the game is over.
  • On a phone held flat, the game shows the board only, so the masks are bigger. Your level and score are on the left.
  • Need a break? Press the pause button at the top left of the window, or the P key. The game also pauses by itself if you switch to another window. The board is hidden while the game is paused.

Scoring

  • 50 points for a group of three, and 20 more for each extra mask in it.
  • Quick clicks: take a group within a second and a half of the one before, and it is worth a tenth more. Keep going and it climbs to double.
  • 1,000 points each time a stick of dynamite blows up - whatever it takes with it. A stick caught in the blast blows up too: 1,000 more.
  • So a big group pays twice: more points, and a stick of dynamite.
  • Clear a level: 100 points times its number. Level 5 gives 500!
  • 500 points for the level’s goal: a group of 10, two sticks of dynamite, or 20 masks of one colour.
  • Empty the whole board: 1,000 points, once a level.
  • No more moves? The next row comes at once and you get 100 points (3 times a level).

Two players, the same game at the same time. What you clear makes trouble for the other player. No XP, gems or high scores: just the win - and a wager, if you both agree to one.

  • To start: press Duel a player on the game’s title and wait for the next player who does the same. Or open a player’s menu, press Play, and pick this game’s Duel. They get a card to accept or decline.
  • Both of you get exactly the same masks, rows and special masks, and a 3 second countdown.
  • Take 6 or 7 masks at once and 1 stone goes to the other player’s board; 8 or more sends 2. Dynamite sends 3, and 2 more for each stick it sets off. Empty your board: 6!
  • A take at quick clicks of x1.5 or more sends 1 more.
  • Stones come in with the next row, 6 a row at most. A stone matches nothing; only dynamite gets rid of it.
  • The rows come a second sooner every minute. There is no second chance and no twinkling hint.
  • Anything on its way to you is cancelled first by what you send back ("Blocked!"). The rest comes in after a short warning.
  • If a mask is pushed out of the top of your board you lose (if both do, the first one loses).
  • After 5 minutes the higher score wins (the same score is a draw).
  • Leave, close the window or stay away for 15 seconds, and you lose. A duel never pauses.
  • The other player’s board is drawn small beside yours, with their score. Press Duel again for a rematch.
  • A wager can ride on a challenge from a player’s menu (not on the title’s queue). The winner takes it. Your solo scores, medals and week board are not touched.
  • Press the gold trophy at the top left of the game’s window. It shows two boards: This week and All time.
  • This week: your best score since Monday. The board starts empty every Monday, so everyone has a new chance.
  • When the week ends, the top 3 win Arcade Tokens: 10 for 1st, 6 for 2nd, 3 for 3rd.
  • Spend them at the Prize Counter: press Prize Counter under the boards, or talk to Artie in the Lobby. It has the Minigame Surprise Box, a trophy for every minigame to put in your home, and every minigame aura.

Get far enough in one game and you earn a medal, with gems. Each medal gives its gems once.

  • Bronze5 gemsReach level 3.
  • Silver10 gemsReach level 5.
  • Gold15 gemsReach level 8. Gold also gives you the Tikiz Hat.

Every day there is one small goal. Do it and you get 10 gems. Tomorrow there is a new one. It is one of these:

  • Reach level 3 in one game.
  • Score 12,000 points in one game.
  • Finish 3 games.
  • Pop 500 tikis in one day.
  • Blow up 5 sticks of dynamite in one day.
  • Take 12 tikis or more with one click.

From level 3, about one row in three brings one. Click on it when the moment is right.

  • The jokerpink maskIt goes with any colour. It can even join two groups of the same colour into one big group.
  • The rockettwo arrowsClick on it and its whole row goes. Stones and dynamite in the row stay.
  • The paint pota white dropClick on it and every mask of its colour goes, all over the board.
  • The clocka clockClick on it and the row to come waits 5 seconds longer.
  • The stoneMunidarkOnly on Munidark’s levels (5, 10, 15...), when the beach goes dark. It matches nothing and you can not click it. Only dynamite gets rid of it.
  • On the game’s title, press Puzzle of the day. Everyone on the island gets the same board that day.
  • A small board, and 6 clicks. Empty it!
  • No rows come, so you have all the time you want.
  • Tip: the order matters. A click in the wrong place can cut another group in two.
  • Solve it and you get 10 gems, once a day. You can try as often as you like.

Four things to pull off. Each one gives 10 gems, once. The trophy at the top left of the game’s window shows which you have.

  • Big catch10 gemsTake 15 tikis or more with one click.
  • Dynamite expert10 gemsBlow up 3 sticks of dynamite in one level.
  • Low tide10 gemsClear level 3 or higher without the tikis passing the middle of the board.
  • Tiki collector10 gemsPop 2,000 tikis in all, over as many games as you need.
  • The levels never end: each one is a little harder.
  • Your avatar waits in the room while you play; the others see a game controller over you.
  • Every game is checked by the island's server: a score that doesn't add up isn't counted.
