Card Game Helper (and other minigame tips)

An easy-to-use web utility that can give you perfect memory for the card matching game, as well as a strategy for 80% winrate. (Also information on the other minigames, but others have written about those.)

Card Matching

This is a memory game that requires you to memorize the positions of cards as they flip over.

If you invest 100 currency, Junak cheats by starting with advance knowledge of where (I suspect) up to 3 cards are. You don't have a guaranteed shot of beating him either way, but the can get about an 80% winrate with the following strategy:

1. Match if there is a known pair, otherwise...
   
2. Make your first selection be a new card, match if you can, otherwise...
   
3. Make your second selection be an already-revealed card, so as to avoid revealing an easy match for Junak.

I have built a simple utility to help you keep track of where everything is. You can visit it here.[grays42.github.io]

Shark Teeth

The secret to shark teeth is forcing Junak to have no option other than to click the weak tooth. There are 20 total teeth, so the quickest method is as follows.

1. When the weak tooth is revealed, count the number of spaces to the right and subtract this number from 19. That's the number of teeth you and Junak need to press. For quick reference, see the image above.
   
2. Force a multiple of 4 on Junak's turn. For example, if it's your turn and there are 14 teeth remaining, choose 2 so that there are 12 remaining for Junak's turn. (This is easiest if you go first, but if Junak goes first keep choosing 1 until an opportunity presents itself to force a multiple of 4.)
   
3. Once you've forced a multiple of 4, compliment whatever Junak presses with the opposite, to keep forcing a multiple of 4. (e.g. if Junak chooses 3, choose 1.)
   
4. Junak will be forced to choose the weak tooth.

Find the Pearl

This is the classic "shell game" format, where you just need to keep track of which crab has the pearl. Do not risk substantial currency playing Follow the Pearl. There is no way to gimmick this game, and it does increase in difficulty when you invest more.

My tip for finding the pearl: shoot a short slow-mo video with your phone - it is like 10s. watch it. Click the pear. Get 100 money. Do it 5 times until the crab is tired. Easy.

@Katred you're welcome! But it isn't pointless to bet 100, if you follow my strategy you still win the vast majority of games.

Great guide, thanks in particular for the card tracking website and confirmation that betting 100 in it is pointless. I was losing my mind at how ridiculously lucky he was but couldn't think of what the devs would gain by making it rigged at the highest bet...

Regardless, appreciate this. +1.

Thanks for this; it was seriously grating me that I could win pretty much every time on low bets, but never on bigger ones. You've confirmed that it's skewed this way deliberately. I don't want to grind out 10 bei bets to be able to buy anything.

Great app, thanks for the help
