Welcome to Primrose Lake Walkthrough and Tips



Welcome to Primrose Lake is a Time Management game that plays mostly like any other GameHouse Original TM game, but more specifically like the early (pre-minigame) Delicious series.  There is a tutorial at the beginning of the first level that will teach the game basics.  Be sure to play through it, whether you need to or not, as you will earn the "Newbie" achievement for doing so.


The score for the story levels is measured in one, two, or three stars, depending on the amount of points you earn.  You will win the level as long as you earn one star.  The challenge levels have a set amount that must be met, without the option of earning more than one star.


Tip: If you can't reach three stars on a level, you can change the difficulty to a lower setting in the settings menu under the main menu, and retry the level.

Bonuses are earned for chains and combos, and for having a clean location at the end of the level.

Side Objectives:
The levels have a challenge to be completed. Challenges don't have to be completed  but add points if you do complete it.  Each challenge completed earns a diamond.

Tip: Sometimes you can't both complete a challenge and get three stars in a story level.  If this happens, you can play the level twice: once to complete the challenge and once to reach three stars.



Mystery Locations:
These are story scenes with mini games. There are several between main story levels.  Most of the games are self-explanatory, but I have included screen shots for some.   Be sure to play them, so as to earn the "Detective" achievement. 

The Raccoon

The raccoon will appear in every story level.  He will make a noise, and will appear for a few seconds.  Clicking on him will give you a bonus 100 points.  I have included a screen shot of his location for every level.  


You will receive the "Hawk Eye!" trophy for finding him on all levels.


Diamonds:
Diamonds are earned for completing the side objectives in the story levels. Diamonds are spent to unlock the decorations to restore the park.



Achievements
Most will be earned just by playing through the game, and all are explained on the achievements panel.  There are three levels to each achievement.

    1. Thanks for asking -- I hope this one has been of use to you. I don't have a GameHouse gamepass any more, so I've not played the two sequels.
