The player can choose easy, medium or hard by using the directional arrow keys. Press the X button to begin the preferred level.
The Games
Miss Spider's Main Menu Invitation
The fun begins when Miss Spider asks the player which character they would like to invite to the party. Choose a character by using the directional arrow keys, to move through the nine Invitations. Press the X button to select a character.
The player and Miss Spider go to visit the selected character and soon discover that each of her friends needs help in order to attend the soiree. Follow Miss Spider's directions and help her friends solve their puzzles so they can come to the tea party.
After successfully completing each game, the player will be taken back to the Invitation Screen to invite another guest. Once a game is complete a green check mark will appear on that character's envelope. The player must help all nine of Miss Spider's friends in order for the tea party to begin.
The red arrow in the lower left corner will take you back to difficulty level screen.
Firefly Concentration
The fireflies can only travel in pairs. The player is shown a grid of 20 leaves. Move through the grid by using the directional arrow keys. Press the X key to select a leaf.
When the player selects a leaf, a firefly appears. In the Easy Level, the firefly's tail lights up in a bright color. The player must then select another leaf to find the same color. If the two colors match, then the two fireflies will fly off the screen to the party.
In the Medium Level, players must match fireflies by color and orientation. In the Hard Level, the fireflies must be matched by color, orientation and the sound they make.
Find the Butterflies
The butterflies are all cleverly camouflaged into their surroundings. Using the directional arrow keys, the player must move carefully through the scenes and press the X key to select each of the butterflies. As each butterfly is found, it will fly to the party.
Grampy Spider's Picture Perfect
Grampy Spider is a photographer, but he has dropped his photo album and the pictures have fallen out. Help put the pictures in their proper place so Grampy Spider can go to the party.
The game screen shows the photo album opened to a page. On the right side of the book is an empty spot for a photograph with a description of the missing photo. Miss Spider will read this description as each page is turned. If you want to hear Miss Spider again, click on the description.
Using the directional arrow keys, select one of the three photos to match the description. On the left side of the book are three photographs. Players must select the photo that matches the description. A strip of film on the bottom of the screen shows players their progress.
Assemble the Cricket Band
Miss Spider wants the crickets to come to the party, but the player must first help them build their band. Using the directional arrow keys, the player must move through the instruments and notes (the player can select either a note or an instrument first) and match their sounds with the corresponding item.
Every time a group of four instruments is matched, the crickets in that group will play a quick tune. Once all 16 instruments are matched to the notes, the entire band will play a song.
Caterpillar and Moth Obstacle Course
The Caterpillar and the Moth are perched high atop a steep hill. The player must help each of them get down the hill. The game begins with the player choosing which of them to help first.
Then, the character starts down the hill. Use the directional arrow keys to move the character left and right to avoid the obstacles. The caterpillar must avoid obstacles such as rocks, puddles and tree roots, while the moth needs to avoid airborne obstacles such as overhanging tree branches and pesky birds.
You have to get down the hill before time runs out. Once the first character is down at the bottom of the hill safely, then it is the next character's turn.
Beetles' River Crossing
The Beetles live on the other side of a deep river and are very nervous about crossing. Using the directional arrow keys, the player must guide each beetle across the river by making them jump onto logs, floating leaves, and tadpoles.
If a Beetle falls in the river, it will appear at the starting position again. When all four Beetles are across the river they will go to the party.
