Sam & Max: Season 1 Hints
How do I win Whack-A-Rat?
1 of 5: See the big sign with instructions next to the machine? Forget about that.
2 of 5: That is, you can read the sign if you want, but that's not enough to let you actually play the game. You need to click on the machine itself to do that.
3 of 5: What you'll be doing, as the game explains, is trying to shoot just the rats who are "singing" and not the ones who are silent. The ones who sing are in a big dramatic pose with their arms up and their mouths open; the silent ones are sort of crouched.
4 of 5: As an added help, the singing rats are on orange cards, while the silent ones are on yellow cards. Much easier to pick them out by color than by pose.
5 of 5: Shoot 20 or more singing rats, and you win!
