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!

Upgrades

Once you’ve chosen a level on the level select map and clicked “Play”, you’ll be given the option to purchase upgrades. Upgrades offer unique bonuses and boosts to improve your score or gameplay. Once unlocked, an upgrade will remain unlocked permanently for that chapter or location. Complete levels to earn coins to spend on unlocking upgrades!

Additional Tips and Tricks 

Find that Mouse! – Carl the Mouse is hiding in each of the game’s 60 story levels. Keep a sharp eye out for his adorable whiskered face! 

Time to Upgrade! – Purchase upgrades after selecting a level to buy special bonuses. Upgrades purchased during a level will permanently apply to all levels of that chapter. 

Time Out! – Countdown timers, including customer orders and the shift clock, will temporarily pause as soon as you start a minigame. Be quick, though – minigames have timers, too! 

Remember to Restock! – Items with numbers next to them have limited stock available. Restock items at the start of the day to create an advantage early on.

The Diamond Standard! – Complete story level goals and challenge levels to earn diamonds. Up to 3 diamonds can be earned per challenge level. You can also earn diamonds by leveling up your pets. Diamonds can be used to adopt pets and purchase decorations in the pet room.

You Can BUY Diamonds?! – Yes, you sure can! After adopting your first pet, extra diamonds can be bought in the pet room. Click the diamond icon with a “+” at the top of the screen. You can purchase 5 diamonds in exchange for 100 coins. Earn extra coins by replaying story levels. You’ll earn 25 coins per score star when replaying levels.

Check Out These Combos! – Checking out groups will result in score bonuses. If you can check out 4 or more people at once at the register, you’ll receive a purrfect combo. Note that if a customer who still needs to order is blocking someone ready to check out, but another customer is ready to check out at the second register slot, the customer behind the one waiting to order will not count toward the score combo. Finish helping the person in front of them first!
