Rusty Arcade

Mini games to play while you wait: a queue, a flight, a slow evening.

Rusty Arcade is a small arcade inside the game, in a window of its own. It holds two games so far, Bag Memory and Icon Quiz, with more to come.

For Retail and WoW Forever.

The arcade

The window opens on a menu of its games: pick one to play, and Games in the title bar takes you back. Next time, it opens where you left off.

Bag Memory

Every tile hides an icon, and every icon is on two tiles. Flip two at a time: a matching pair stays face up, any other pair turns back after a moment. Clear the board in as few moves as you can.

• Your own icons. Pick what the tiles show:
  • Bags: the items you're carrying right now
  • Spells: the spells in your spellbook
  • Random: icons from the game's whole icon list Every board is different, and a bag board changes with whatever you looted today. If your bags or spellbook don't hold enough different icons, random ones fill in, and the game tells you how many.
• Three boards: 4×4 for a quick round, 6×4, or 6×6 for a real test of memory.
• Moves and time. The clock starts at your first flip and waits while the window is closed or the leaderboard is open.
• A leaderboard for every board. Each icon source and size keeps its ten best results, from every character on your account, with who played and when. Fewer moves rank higher, then the faster time. Beat your best and the game says so.

Icon Quiz

One icon, four names: pick the one that belongs to it. Ten icons a round, against the clock.

• Bags or Spells. The icons come from the items you're carrying or the spells in your spellbook. If one runs short, the other fills in, mixed in so you can't tell which is which, and the game tells you how many.
• Right or wrong, you see it. The right name lights green, a wrong pick red, and the next icon comes up a moment later.
• Fair time. The clock runs only while a question waits for your answer. It holds while an answer is shown, while the window is closed, and while you're on the menu.
• Your best round. Each source keeps your best: the most right answers, then the faster time. Beat it and the game says so.
