Not to toot my own horn, but I think I know a lot about the games in Whyville. All you have to do is look at the categories below and decide which game you want to try out. Ok?

If you're a newbie:

Definitely go to the House of Illusions. If you go to all 8 rooms, you get 8 clams added to your salary, plus the rooms are awesome! I always love going through and seeing the two faces of the room "About Face."

If you're into competition:

Go to the Smart Cars tracks! Go right now (after you finish this article, of course)! You can get up to 5 clams added to your salary by doing all the tracks, including the sometimes-dreaded Gasoline Alley. If I can do it, so can you! Plus, doing all 5 tracks before you get into the competition helps you a LOT when you want to design a configuration. This is where the competition comes in. You challenge other Whyvillians to a race on your choice of the track and the time, and the game is on!

If you like science:

Definitely try the WASA Rocket Levels! It doesn't take a Branius Maximus to master this game, but it does present future scientists with a challenge to dwell on. I can just sit in front of my computer and figure these out all day! Even if science isn't your favorite subject, you do get clams for this, so give science a chance. Plus, this kind of science doesn't give you homework.

Masters of Whyville only (got clams?):

Go to the Zero Gravity Levels! You get to bounce footballs (or other, cheaper projectiles) off a wall as hard as you can to try and get to a blinking light on the other side of the arena in a set amount of time. Who doesn't want that? Hint: Go to the Projectile Shoppe in your pull-down menu on the bus to buy projectiles. Again, you must have clams to play this game!

Take your time:

Geodig Safari, Treasure Hunt Safari, Solstice Safari -- I haven't done any of these for a reason: They take too long! When I need clams, I usually need them soon, thanks.

Alien Rescue Mission -- A great game, but you have to be patient while figuring out what city the alien is in.

Sun Spot Puzzle -- Awesome game! I tried it out, and I found some interesting information. I did Beijing, China, and found out that they had less than 11 hours of sunlight on October 31st. (I'm thinking of doing Alaska, too.)

Skater Game -- I haven't even mastered this, so if you're able to get past the 0 on your salary ledger, let me know!

Spin Game -- Very fun on the first level, but I haven't got past there. Again, let me know if you learn the trick!

I hope this has helped you with your game problems.

This is Allyral -- over and out!
