Hidden Chicks

Hidden Chicks is a quick, friendly memory and observation puzzle in the spirit of the classic shell game. Three covered boxes sit side by side on the screen, and a chick is tucked away beneath one of the lids. Before each round begins the boxes are shuffled into a new order, so you can never rely on the position you remembered from the last turn. Your job is to keep your eyes on the right box, follow it through every swap, and then pick the lid you believe is hiding the chick. Choose correctly and the lid lifts with a happy chick popping out, a cheerful well-done sound plays, and you move on to a fresh round. Choose wrongly and a sorry sound tells you the chick got away, leaving you with a Try Again button. The game follows a simple loop that suits short sessions: a main menu with Play and Rules buttons, a name entry screen so the result carries your name, the shuffle itself, and a congratulations or game-over screen followed by Play Again. Because the rules can be understood in seconds, it works well for children and for casual visitors who only have a minute, yet the shuffles are quick enough to keep adults concentrating.
