animals, talking with her friends and playing mini-games to gather everything she needs to have the best tea party ever.\u00a0 Teacup is available on nearly every current game console, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n<p>In the game you\u2019ll control Teacup as she walks through various locations.\u00a0 You\u2019ll get a map early on that you can fill in as you progress.\u00a0 In each area are animals you can talk to by pressing a button.\u00a0 Sometimes they will give you clues to find what you need, while other times you may have to play a mini-game.\u00a0 These mini-games include arranging boxes, pressing a sequence of buttons, or finding hidden objects.\u00a0 You\u2019ll also get a diary of everything you need for your party, and this diary has interesting facts on various tea leaves and ingredients, plus a real life recipe for tea cakes (basic sugar cookies).<\/p>\n<p>While Teacup is a charming little adventure, it does have some problems.\u00a0 Some of the mini-games aren\u2019t explained very well, and can be a bit frustrating.\u00a0 Most notably is the hidden pictures game, where I just resorted to moving the cursor around and hammering on the button to find everything.\u00a0 Luckily some of the other tougher games, like arranging gears in a lighthouse, has a help option.\u00a0 Some of the goals and objectives are also slightly unclear, and the game is a bit short and easy.\u00a0 I beat it in around two hours and got all the trophies.\u00a0 Teacup kind of reminded me of those Humongous point and click adventures for kids, except this one is a bit more advanced.\u00a0 And even with the problems, I still liked this one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/teacup_screen\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone
