Game Play
Basic
Your main goal is to earn stars to buy items when it’s time to build and decorate the park.
The early part of the game is divided between various minigames and a board game style preparation mode.
In preparation mode, roll a dice to move forward by one space.
Select the die on the upper right corner to roll. The number of spaces you move depends on the result of the roll.
Land on a good day card or a helping others card will give you an extra star.
You can also collect donations when you land on a space with an object.
Watch out for bad days, which can cost you stars.
Unlike in other board games, you don’t move backwards when you exceed the exact number of spaces to get to the end point.
Earning donations eliminates the need to buy the items later.
Drum up support
Go through preparation mode to prepare for the speech.
During the speech itself, select the correct words to encourage donors to support the park.
Pick the right words that match what Arthur is trying to say.
The more correct choices you make, the more stars the people will donate.
Remember to use context clues to figure out the best word to say in the speech.
Clean up the park
Pick up the trash and put them in the recycling bin to get the lot ready for the park.
Hold the bake sale
Go through preparation mode to get everything ready for the bake sale.
For the bake sale, match the orders to the exact sequence mentioned by the customers.
The order must be correct for the customer to be satisfied with it.
Collect enough orders
Buy items
With the stars you’ve earned, buy as many items as you can.
Items come in 3 tiers, based on cost.
Plants cost 1 star each.
Park furniture and fixtures cost 2 stars.
Playground equipment and larger park items cost 3 stars.
When you buy or acquire an item through a donation, you can put multiple copies of the same thing.
This is good for creating a forested or planted park.
Build the park
Decorate the lot with the items you bought to create a picturesque park.
Only the items you’ve acquired through stars or donations will appear, plus the residents of Elwood City.
When you’re finished building the park, select “done” on the lower right corner of the screen.
This will take a snapshot of your park on the newspaper.
Select the play again button on the lower right corner to return you to the welcome screen and start all over.

The game is suited for Arthur fans of all ages.
