Gameplay
Talking Ginger 2 (originally released as Ginger’s Birthday) is an interaction-based virtual pet app developed by Outfit7. Launched in April 2013, the game serves as a sequel to the original Talking Ginger app and shifts its focus from bedtime routines to a festive celebration of the mischievous kitten’s birthday.
Core Interactive Features
Signature Talk-Back: When the player speaks into the device’s microphone, Talking Ginger repeats the words in a high-pitched, charming voice.
Tactile Play: Players can poke, tickle, or cuddle Talking Ginger to see various "silly" reactions. For instance, poking him can make him fall off his log, while swiping his head makes it spin.
Video Recording: Users can record their unique interactions and "antics" with Talking Ginger to share with friends on social media.
The Path to Party Rewards
Unlike many mobile games focused on high scores, the primary goal of Talking Ginger 2 is to unlock a collection of over 50 different jigsaw puzzle images. To earn these rewards, players must complete a specific three-step celebratory routine:
The Party Horn: Players must hold down the party whistle button to make Talking Ginger blow his paper trumpet for as long as possible.
Feeding Time: A "meal time" button displays a loop of Talking Ginger eating, where players must feed him various snacks until he is full.
Candle Blowing Mini-Game: In the final step, players click on candles as they pop out of a birthday cake, reacting quickly to blow them out before a timer expires.
Successful completion of these tasks grants a puzzle piece, which gradually reveals "vivid dreams" or snapshots of Talking Ginger with friends like Talking Tom and Talking Angela.
Snacks and Sustenance
To keep the party going, players can earn in-game snacks through various methods:
Fortune Wheel: A free spin is available every 24 hours to win bonus snacks.
In-App Earning: Players can earn snacks by engaging with the app’s various features or through in-app purchases.
