This game is pretty simple and requires very little skill. However, there are certain tips and tricks that can help you acquire a higher score.

The aim of the game is to uncover the boat (shown in the diagram above) by clicking blocks to uncover them. The majority of blocks uncovered will be direction blocks and they will point to the vague direction of the boat. However, you will get some special blocks such as the canon (destroys all adjacent tiles), the storm (reveals all adjacent tiles) and the treasure box (extra points). If the boat happens to be adjacent to the storm or the canon tile and you click it then the boat will be automatically revealed.
