Shanghai III is a tile matching puzzle game based on the Chinese zodiac, structured across twelve rounds. Success depends on achieving a high score of 10,000 points within a time limit and without using continues, which makes the pacing challenging.
Players have access to a finite number of special aids: Helps provide hints for tile selection, while Peeps reveal tiles hidden beneath the top layer. The game rewards consecutive matches with additional time, helping to offset the strict time constraint.
Clearing the board of all tiles unlocks a bonus stage. This stage offers opportunities to gain extra points and replenish the limited stock of hints and Peeps.
