How to Play
How to Play Guess'n Find...

Playing Guess'n Find is simple and entertaining.  You simply click on the the buttons in the Main Guess'n Find window, as displayed here:

After you start a new game by clicking the appropriate command in the Game menu or by pressing F2, you will see either numbers or a Message Box depending on your Skill Level when you click a button.  The object of the game is to find a certain one of the 36 buttons, which is randomly selected each time you start a game, which allows you to win the game, so the numbers represent the shortest distance of the winning button from the button you pushed (without using diagonals).  In this example, the red button is the winning button (of course, normally the winning button looks no different from the other ones).  It shows what the screen would look like in Easy skill mode if all buttons had been pressed once except the winning button:

At the bottom, the number in the box next to the word "Tries" shows the number of times you have clicked on a button. Of course, you wan't this number to be as low as possible!

Just rememer, the best way to really understand how Guess'n Find works is to play it!

Background Information...

Since this is version 1.0 of Guess'n Find, there can't be the usual version history section that many McMahon Software help files have, so instead there is a section with some information about how Guess'n Find came into existance.

The original inspiration for Guess'n Find came from an old game that was for the Apple IIe.  However, Guess'n Find actually does not resemble that specific game, it was simply influenced by it.  So, the original Guess'n Find was made.

The original Guess'n Find (referred to as version 0.9) was never publically released.  Instead of the 36 buttons of the REAL Guess'n Find, it only had 25.  Still, it was fun, thus after a summer of taking breaks to play Guess'n Find 0.9, it was decided that a shareware version would be better.  Shortly after, the decision to add more buttons was added as well as a few other features.

So, the Guess'n Find you know has only been around since early in March of 1997, but other Guess'n Finds have been around much longer.
