Meet your host

Billy knows his way around a campfire.

He is the friendly face of Hillbilly Campground: keeper of tall tales, watcher of weather, and enthusiastic judge of toasted marshmallows.

Campground diversions

Play awhile with Billy

Choose a quick game. Each one takes about a minute, and Billy has something to say no matter how it goes.

Toast Like Billy Toast five marshmallows without letting the fire win.

Hold the button while the marshmallow is over the fire, then let go before it burns. Perfect marshmallows are worth 100 points each.

How to play
  • Choose Start game.
  • Hold the toast button with a mouse, touch, Space, or Enter.
  • Release when the marshmallow reaches the toast level you want.
  • If holding is difficult, turn on press-once controls.

Five marshmallows. Five chances to make Billy proud.

Feedin’ Turtles Hand over the marshmallow without volunteering Billy’s fingers.

Ease five marshmallows toward a cartoon turtle. Let go when the turtle takes the treat—before it decides Billy’s fingers look tastier.

Just for laughs: Please don’t feed real turtles or other campground wildlife.

How to play
  • Choose Start game.
  • Hold the feeding button with a mouse, touch, Space, or Enter.
  • Release when you hear or read that the turtle has the marshmallow.
  • If holding is difficult, turn on press-once controls.

Five treats. Ten fingers. Let’s try to finish with both numbers unchanged.
