Does anybody know what the 11 prizes are in the Mahjongg Toy Chest arcade game? I've figured out how to get 9 of them but can't come up with the last two.

I play that game alot and I don't understand the scoring system other than if you don't get all of the tiles cleared you don't get bonus points for the time remaining.

I usually play the "World Snake" game. And unless I'm in a tournament I keep refreshing the screen until I get that particular one. i find it's the one that I typically do better at because I can find the tiles easier and plan ahead a move or two for matching tiles. And from what I've seen, if you are fast you seem to get more penguins along the side of the screen. I don't look for certain tiles to clear, I just clear any matching tile that I come across no matter what those tiles are.

There are specific combinations that will give you the penguins. If you run your mouse over the penguins you can see what the combination are at the bottom of the window. There is also a pop-up that says there are 11 prizes. So far I've only found 9 of the combinations, so there must be two more out there somewhere.

I have only found 9 of the prizes also. The best scoring penguin I can find is if you get four matches from one stack you get 500 points, another good one is if you get all four teddy bears in a row you get 200 points. I was hoping that Natalie_ca knew how to get the last 2 of the 11 penguin prizes since she has the high score of the game. Maybe she just clicks the tiles really, really fast and gets a higher score for a faster game.


I love playing the game and I play it a lot. What I hate is when I'm in a tournament and I get the hardest setup to play like the Stair Master that I always stink at.

The ones I've found so far are:

1) 2 matches in 4 seconds (30 points)
2) 3 matches in 6 seconds (60 points)
3) 4 mathces in 8 seconds (90 points)
4) 5 matches in 10 seconds (120 points)
5) 6 mathces in 12 seconds (200 points)
It seems like you have to do these at the beginning of the game. I've never managed to get points for do a series of quick matches in the middle.

6) 4 consecutive tiles from the same tower. (500 points) You have to click on the same tower for the first of each of the pairs or it doesn't count.

7) 4 of the same tile in a row (50 points)

8) 4 teddy bears in a row (200 points)

9) 8 of the same suit in a row (200 points)

Also, once you've gotten a penguin for one of the prizes you don't get another one even when you repeat the same sequence.

All of the books in a row also counts.
I find that the point amounts are not consistent - sometimes I get 200 for all the teddy bears in a row, sometimes less...

The 10th prize is all the books in a row, worth 500. Since there are 16 books, the only time I've ever earned that prize is on the snake one where things are spread out and only 3 deep. Supposedly the 11th prize is if you finish with more than 2 minutes left. I've never seen that show up, even if I finish with over 4 minutes left,  so I dunno.
