How to play Fishing Challenge

Start Fishing Challenge by looking at the playing area and its controls. Land as many fish as possible in five casts. Use the example below to understand a decision. Check the rule that explains your first action. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Five-cast timing/tension game, no bets or purchases.

Focus on one rule

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your goal

Land as many fish as possible in five casts. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.

Step by step

1. Cast and wait for BITE.
2. Hook promptly.
3. Hold Reel for progress.
4. Release to lower tension.
5. Land the fish before it escapes.

Controls

Cast and Hook; hold Reel or R; Space casts/hooks. Use the control method described here for this activity. Use one clear input at a time.

A useful example

Alternating reeling and release avoids snapping the line. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.

Watch out for this

Early hooks, missed bites and excessive tension lose a cast. Compare the situation with the worked example. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
