Free w/event

**Mahjong** was introduced as a mini-game during the 2021 annual Japanese event What Masks Hide. It took Magical Items place on the map. This mini-game shows up during Chinese and Japanese events only. Mahjong is a Chinese tile-based game that requires the player to have tactics, observation, memory, and adaptive strategies.

The objective is to remove the yellow tiles which have the current Event Token symbol on them. These tokens can then be used in the Curiosity Shop. This mini-game will reset in Rank at the beginning of a new event. **Mahjong** is located near the other mini-games in the Main City and right of the Cabaret in the Upper City (see Mini-Games Gallery for photos).

Like other event-specific mini-games, this mini-game requires special items or keys to play. These "keys" are supplied by the current Event Location and occasionally as rewards for various game activities (totems, good monsters, etc).

## Ranks

All event-specific mini-games, including this one, will increase in rank twice as quickly as any other location or mini-game. This mini-game will reset in rank at the beginning of a new event.
This table shows the energy, experience, and coins for each rank of the **Mahjong** mini-game.

## Gameplay

The version we see in Hidden City is a solitary version in which the player must match the pictures on the tiles to clear to the board and remove the yellow tiles. A player also doesn't need to remove all the tiles from the board to win, they just need to uncover and match the yellow tiles. There are no bonuses for removing all the tiles, but no losses either as the players will get their rewards for playing whether or not all tiles are removed.

To avoid running out of moves, try to match pairs that are only necessary, or that will reveal more tiles underneath or next to them. If there are tiles at the bottom of the field, that aren't obstructed in any way, leave them there so you have more moves for later!

The easiest way to match tiles as some pictures are similar looking is to look for the numbers in the left corner of the tile and match the tile that has the number 3 in the corner to another tile that has that same number and pattern. There are other tiles are what are referred to as "seasonal tiles" or "sign tiles", the seasonal tiles have sun in the left corner for a player to match it with another tile that has a sun. Sign Tiles have a star in the left corner for players to match with another one. If the tiles shake then that indicates that the selected tiles are not a matching pair or it is still blocked by other tiles.

As players get into higher Ranks in the mini-game there are more and more tiles to get through and match, they become more layered and in Rank V, they get increased time on the clock to play. The timer can between 3 and 7 minutes, depending on the configuration of the tiles.

Players also have a few tools available to help aid them in their play.

## Tools

Chronometer - Adds 45 seconds to the clock

Discoverer's Magnifier - Matches one pair of tiles

Diode Bomb - Matches/blows up three - five pairs of matching tiles

Deciphering Cube - Shuffles the tiles on the board to show new moves if there are none left or a player gets stuck.
