Check out our tips and tricks for
Pets Fun House and learn about pet
care, stocking the shop, and how to make the most out of multi-tasking.
GAME OVERVIEW
There are 2 game modes in Pets Fun House: Story Time and Cardgame mode.
Story Time is your main mode and Cardgame mode is a card matching game.
Cardgame mode is a pretty standard memory card matching game. Find
the matching pair of cards and eliminate pairs one by one. There will
be 5 levels to that game and a limited amount of time in which to
complete the task.
Even though the Cardgame mode is a separate mode from Story Time,
you will periodically play a mini game version of this in Story Mode.
Each level of the game is divided by a certain amount of days in
which you can take to complete a level. If you don't complete a level
within the specified amount of days you will go bankrupt and will have
to start over again. Each level will have 3 more days in order to
complete the goal.
BASIC PREMISE OF THE GAME
In order to sell your pets you have to take care of their needs and
once they're grown, you can sell them to your customers. A pet will be
ready for sale when you see that they start sparkling.
You need to make sure that your pet is given the things that they
ask for in a timely manner. If they do not receive what they need they
will turn into a ghost and disappear. You will then have to start the
growing process all over again.
You will have several days in which to accomplish your goal. As the
game progresses and gets harder you will have more days added in order
to accomplish your goal.
If you do not meet your goals in a timely manner you will have to
start back on day one of that level. In other words if that level has 7
days and you lose, you will start back from day one.
GENERAL TIPS
In order to resume your game from the point in which you left
off, click on Story Time and then on Last Check Point to continue your
saved game.
The time stops when you are choosing your next pet
which is a good thing because it does not take away from your time on
the clock. You can take your time and make your pet selection, which
takes some time to flip through all the choices. As soon as you've done
that the timer will resume working.
There's no way to cancel an action that you've made
so make sure that you calculate your moves carefully. If you don't, it
can throw off your whole game since at times getting a supply to an
animal in time can mean the difference between keeping and losing that
pet.
In order to buy products you have to click on the up
and down buttons. This allows you to adjust your purchases accordingly.
If you decide that you want less of an item you can click the down
button and it will be subtracted from your purchase.
Keep in mind that you can only subtract items that
you're currently purchasing. If the item was left over from the
previous round you will not be able to do it.
You can carry two items at a time, some actions
require you to have your hands free in order to accomplish them and
others do not. You need at least one of your hands free when you're
picking up supplies, garbage or when you're choosing your next dog
breed.
You can swap items from your hand with other items.
If a dog is asking for a bowl of food and they have a trash bag next to
them once you hand them their food, the trash bag will automatically be
in your hand.
If your hands are full you cannot click and choose
the next animal you want to breed. Unload what's in your hand first and
then go back and choose your pet.
You do not need your hands to be empty when you drag
a customer over to a pet they wish to purchase. Simply drag the
customer to a pet while your character is doing other things.
There's a section that will pop-up from time called
the Shop's Interior, in which decorations for your shop will be
available. These will become available automatically - all you have to
do is pick the item that is unlocked. There's no rhyme or reason to
this feature since only one item will be unlocked at a time.
You will also have random bonuses that will appear
throughout the game. There will be things like you win $120 for winning
a pet show. It can also be something as simple as a customer wants to
give you extra supplies for your shop, like 10 cans of food etc. These
bonuses will pop-up on your screen at any given time.
On your playing field you have a clock at the bottom which shows how much time you have to complete that day.
The amount next to the right of the clock is the cash
amount. The cash amount shows how much money you have left over after
you purchased your supplies. That number is combined with how much
you've earned towards the current goal.
MULTI-TASKING
You can queue what seems like unlimited actions back to
back in this game. You do not get points for chaining tasks, but it
does allow you to get several things done at once.
Wait until two pets need something, that way you can
deliver two items at a time. Instead of wasting time (since your
character is rather slow) have two items in your hand at all times.
Time is of the essence and there's no need to waste it.
Deliver things in an organized fashion which will
maximize your time. If your character has to walk to different sides of
the room then make the most of it. As you're taking supplies to a pet
that is on one side of the room, pick up a supply that is on that side
and deliver to a pet that is on the opposite side.
If you're making a delivery to a customer that is
close to the trash can, grab their item in one hand and a bag of trash
in another. This way you can throw out the garbage after you make your
delivery.
PET CARE
Serving your pets quickly will keep them happy. The
happier a pet is at the time of purchase the more money a customer is
willing to pay you for that pet. The longer you take the faster your
pet will become unhappy and eventually pass away.
If a pet dies you don't lose any money but you do have to start growing your pet all over again.
As soon as one pet is sold choose another breed
immediately since it takes time for them to grow. Do it before taking
care of anybody else so that your pet can grow as you take care of
other tasks.
Look at the icon above a pet's head to determine what
their needs are. Look at their hearts to determine how much patience
they have left. If a pet has a low heart rate you need to take of them
as soon as they request something. That is the only way to restore a
part of their heart and keep from losing them.
STRATEGY TIPS
At the beginning of each level breed as many different
types of animals as you can, disregard what it says on the Today's Hit
page. Those breeds will not come into play until later on in the day.
The first day of each level will usually be spent
taking care of your pet's needs so that they can grow and be ready for
sale. You will usually make the majority of your money selling pets
after the first day. So it's a good idea to buy at least 10 or 12 of
each item at the beginning of any level.
If you're close to your goal at the end of any given
day you don't have to buy a lot of supplies for the next day in order
to meet your goal. It is best to buy just enough items so that you can
sell enough pets to make it past a level.
Let's suppose you only need $1,500 to pass a level.
Once you make that amount, stop breeding pets and handing out goods.
You do not lose money when your pets die or customers leave angry just
let them go as long as your goal is met. This may seem as odd advice at
first but expect not to be able to serve many of your customers that
come through the door, especially if the pet they want has a lot of
growing left to do.
There's nothing you can do to make a client happier,
all you can do is let them get angry and leave. The good news is that
you do not lose any money when a customer leaves your shop angry.
If you have the choice between 2 customers that need
the same pet always choose the most impatient customer first. The
reason for that being is that you'll be able to get 2 customers to buy
a pet instead of just one. You will make twice as much money.
If your choice is between 2 customers that want the
same pet and there's one of that kind for sale then sell it to the
customer that is happiest.
On the Today's Hit main page you will see which 3
pets are going to be most popular for that day. It may seem like that
is not the case since at the beginning of most levels you will be asked
for a a variety of pets. Those choices will not really come into play
heavily until you get closer to your deadline.
Even if your food supply falls below zero you can
still purchase supplies. However, they will cost you 50% more than the
regular price.
It's very important that you sell some of your
supplies to customers that just to want to buy those items and not any
pets. That money you make from each sale will go towards your total and
can mean the difference between winning and losing.
If you look at your total and it looks like you've
made your goal you may be disappointed to see that you did not pass
that round. The reason for that being is that if you purchased items
that were out of stock.
Those items will cost you 50 percent more than if
you'd bought it at the supply store. That money is then deducted off
your sales at the end of the round. You can see how many extra items
you purchased in the level summary page at the end of each level.
If you see a small bag of trash next to your pet, it
means that you must pick up their waste after they've used the toilet.
After you pick it up take it to the trash can. If you happen to give a
pet an item that they asked for and a bag is next to them you will
automatically pick up that bag once you deliver the item to your pet.
You have to pay close attention to the trash bags
because once you have it in your hand you will only be able to pick up
one additional item. Take the bag to the trash as soon as possible so
that you can go back to picking up 2 items at a time.
Each week begins with a certain amount of days, at
the end of each of those days you will have a chance to restock your
items. Your next day will begin with your pets in the state in which
they were before.
If they were fully grown and asking for food, that's
the way you'll find them on the next day. The food supplies that you
buy in between levels will be added to the supplies you had before the
day ended. In other words the leftover supplies will rollover from one
level to the next.
TODAY'S HIT
This page will tell which pets are going to be the most
popular for that day. It may seem like that information is not always
correct but it does help you in some ways.
That information does not start being correct until
you get closer to the end of the game. You will then start seeing
several customers coming in asking for the most popular dogs that you
saw on the front of the page.
You will see three colored paw prints on the front of
the page, gold, silver and copper. Each color represents which supply a
particular pet will need the most of in that level.
The Golden Paw- Indicates the item that a pet will use the most of.
The Silver Paw represents the middle of the road in terms of what they will need.
The Copper Paw represents the item the pet will need the least of.
This info can help you decide what type of pet you need to raise and which supplies you should focus on.
PET SHOP SUPPLIES
Price Per Item-The number in green shows how much a product costs
Buy-The number in yellow shows how many items you are buying at that moment.
Total Amount-Shows how many products you have combined with
what you're currently buying and what you have in stock from the last
level.
Total-Just displays the amount of money you're currently spending for that category.
At the Bottom of the screen you have the Budget, Purchase and Cash section:
Budget is the amount of money you have available to spend.
Purchase is the total amount that you're spending on that level.
Cash is the budget amount minus your purchase amount, which leaves you with how much money you have left to spend.
