Surveillance

Every square is worth a hundred dollars, and cameras are hidden among them. Open a square and it tells you how many cameras touch it, so the numbers are the only map you get. Every safe square you open is money kept out of the watchers' hands, and your score is the money. Open every square that has no camera and you keep all of it. Open a camera and you are on the record, and you keep nothing. Name a camera by holding a square, by right clicking it, or by turning marking on and tapping, and the counter shows how many are still unnamed. Tap a number whose cameras are all named and the squares around it open, so name carefully: a wrong name opens a camera. The first square you open, and every square around it, is always safe.

Mahjong

A pile of 144 tiles, built so that most of what you want is under something else. Only a free tile can move: nothing on top of it, and its left or right side open. Match two free tiles that show the same face and they come off the pile. Clear the pile and the economy is yours. The suits are the page's own: dollars, cameras and wires, one to nine each, and the things people rely on as the honour tiles. Every deal can be cleared; if you get stuck, shuffle what is left.
