Dr. Cares – Family Practice General Tips & Tricks
Learn all the essentials of Dr. Cares – Family Practice before getting started. Learn how to play, how to earn the highest scores, bonus tips and tricks, and more! Scroll down to get started.
Getting Started
How to Play
Dr. Cares – Family Practice is a time management game. The goal of the game is to help as many people and animals as you can within a limited period of time. The happier people or pets are, the higher your score will be!
Customers who enter a level will need time to think about their order. A “…” bubble indicates they’re making up their mind. As soon as they know what they need, an item will appear in a bubble over their head. Click or tap on the item they request and bring it to them. Once a customer has been served, check them out at the register to receive a final score based on your service.
Sometimes people or animals may leave a dirty station behind. Click the station marked with a “!” bubble to clean it so it’s ready for the next in line.
Touch Gestures
Sometimes your service will require a special touch. Touch gestures are interactive movements you perform with a cursor or finger. Touch gestures are:
- Rub! – Click or tap and hold, moving your finger or cursor back and forth quickly within the area indicated.
- Drag! – Click or tap and hold, moving your finger or cursor in the direction indicated.
- Hold! – Click or tap and hold until the circle shown is filled.
- Click! – Click or tap multiple times as quickly as possible until the circle shown is filled.
Scoring and Customer Happiness
Each individual you serve will have hearts above their head. Hearts indicate how happy they are. The more hearts they have, the happier they’ll be. Hearts are converted into scores once an individual is checked out at the register.
Both people and pets can lose hearts over time if you’re not careful. If service is too slow or you keep them waiting too long, they’ll start to become impatient. If a customer loses all their hearts, they’ll leave without giving you a score.
The happiest people and pets will have 5 hearts over their heads. These ecstatic patients give the highest scores. Bring all the items a customer asks for and/or serve them quickly to earn score bonuses! Try to serve as many ecstatic customers as possible. Checking out multiple customers at the register at the same time will also give you score bonuses.
Mice Locations
Carl the mouse is a mischievous rodent who loves GameHouse Original Stories games. There’s a hidden mouse in each of the game’s 60 story levels. Can you find all the hidden mice? Click “Show Mouse Location” below any level in the guide below to view the hidden mouse for that level. For a complete list of mouse locations, visit the Mouse Locations section.
Daily Challenges
Daily challenges are available for you to play by clicking the clock at the bottom of the level select map. These challenges change every day. Selecting the challenge will determine a unique character, setting, and goal. Try winning daily challenges to earn special bonuses, including an unlockable trophy!
