FIVE IMAGINATIVE AND ENERGIZING PUZZLE GAMES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
Rolling Marbles
Q: Do I use the mouse or the keyboard to play Rolling Marbles?
A: Use both the mouse and keyboard for this game -
Q: I get a blank screen when I try to play Rolling Marbles.
A: The game requires Microsoft DirectX (a library for games). Check to make sure you have
the latest version installed by going to the Microsoft web site where you can download it
and the latest version will install automatically.
Click here to go to Microsoft to install DirectX After you install it, restart your PC and launch
the game again.
Q: Why is Rolling Marbles playing slowly on my PC?
A: If your computer is older, the specifications may be on the low side for the game. Turn
off the Shadows feature and Minimize Sound Volume in the Options menu.
Mahjongg Challenge
Q: Why is Mahjongg Challenge slow on my PC?
A: The game requires Microsoft DirectX (a library for games) so you should be sure you
have the latest version installed. You can download it directly from Microsoft and it will
install the latest version automatically.
Click here to go to Microsoft to install DirectX After you install it, restart your PC and launch
the game again.
If the game is still slow after you’ve updated DirectX, you can also run the game in Direct3D
mode. On the startup menu for the game, there is an OPTIONS button. Selecting options
will allow you to run the game in "Direct3D" mode. We recommend running the game using
the default "DirectX" but if you have a good video card you can try 3d mode for faster play.
Note that this setting may not work with all 3D cards.
There is also an ADVANCED OPTIONS button which allows you to turn off shadow drawing.
If the game continues to be sluggish turn the shadow drawing off for faster play.
Q: Can I play the game full screen?
A: Yes. In the startup menu, select the OPTIONS button. Under APPERARANCE, click to
play in windowed or full screen mode. Switch modes during play by pressing ALT-ENTER.
Q: Mahjongg has 12 variations but I only see four. How can I find the rest?
A: There are indeed 12 variations in Mahjongg Challenge. When you choose PLAY, you
are presented with the first four. Hit the big red arrow for more games.
Q: I am not sure how to play some of these games. Do you have a help file?
A: Yes. You can download a PDF version of the help file on the left side of this page.
ABC Island
Q: Can I play the game full screen?
A: Yes. In the startup menu, select the OPTIONS button and select full screen mode. You

Q: If I am in the middle of a game and need to change an option or quit, what do I do?
A: During game play, hit the ESCAPE button on your keyboard and you will be presented
with the MENU.
Q: I clicked all the letters to spell a word, how do I get points for it?
A: After you have spelled out a word by clicking adjacent letters, click the SUBMIT button at
the bottom of your letter grid. If the word is accepted, it will be shown in the right side of
your screen and you will receive points. If the word is not accepted, nothing will happen
and you need to find a new word to spell.
Q: I have spelled a word out but the game won’t accept it. Why?
A: We have a dictionary of almost 90,000 words, all of which can be used to spell out
words and submit them for points. However, if you spell out a word that is not in our
dictionary, the game will ignore the ‘submit’ command. Unacceptable words include
profanity and other explicit and violent words. You can spell them out if the letters are
presented to you, however the game will not accept them for submission and points.
