Game Rules and Selection

Game Selection

There are 9 categories in the 

B-Smart

™

 Learning Laptop

: Word, Mathematics, Memory, Logic, Manners & Safety, 

Typing, Music, Games and Spanish.
The main category selection menu will automatically scroll to the next category every 2 seconds. 

The player can also use the left and right arrow keys to scroll to the next category and press enter 

to select. Alternatively, the mouse can be used to move between the categories and then clicking the 

left mouse key to select. All the games under a category are listed in the game selection menu. The 

player can use the mouse or the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the activity names and 

press

 to play. Alternatively, the player can press one of the instant access buttons to go straight to 

a particular game category. Every 15 seconds if the unit is idle, Barbie

®

 will say “Press enter to select a category”.

Attempts

In most activities the player will have three attempts per question. Barbie

®

 will reveal the correct answer after three 

incorrect attempts.

If there is no input after 30 seconds, Barbie

®

 will repeat the instruction prompt.

Levels

Some of the activities have different levels. At the end of each round (consisting of ten questions) a summary score 

screen will be shown so the player can see how well they have done. If the player has 80 or more points they will 

go up a level. A score between 41 to 79 will mean repeating the same level. A score of 40 or less will mean going 

down a level. If the player has successfully completed all levels in an activity, they will be able to choose if they 

want to play again. In some of the games with no levels, after the player has completed a round of questions the ‘Play 

Again?’ screen will 

appear.

Time Limit

For most games, the player has 90 seconds to answer each question.
