Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which New Zealand video games developer produced "Bloons TD 6"?
Answer: Ninja KiwiAll the answers are New Zealand video game developers. "Ninja Kiwi" is based in Auckland, New Zealand.
"Bloons TD 6" is part of a series of "Bloons Tower Defense" games where Bloons are balloons. Just as in real life, there is a certain satisfaction to be gained from popping balloons (or bubble-wrap).
2. What 'simian' subtitle appears on the splash screen for "Bloons TD 6"?
Answer: An epic adventure of Monkeys vs Bloons'Simian' is a word referring to apes or monkeys.
Splash screens appear whenever an app is loading. The build-version of the game is also shown on the splash screen.
3. In a 'Tower Defense' game, the player needs to stop enemies escaping by building structures to slow them down and/or destroy them.
Answer: True The statement is correct. The structures are known as towers and they differ in abilities and strengths.
The player loses lives for Bloons (enemies) that escape.
Some game modes start with many lives while others have only one. In the game there are ways to gain more lives (although not in CHIMPS mode).
Winning a game 'NLL' means, 'No Lives Lost'--no enemies escape. This is a goal for some players.
4. At the start of a "Bloons TD 6" game, which tower is always cheapest?
Answer: Dart MonkeyAll the answers are towers usually available at the start of a game.
A 'Dart Monkey' initially pops Bloons by throwing a single dart at each one.
By earning Monkey Knowledge (MK), the first Dart Monkey can be free. Otherwise, it is the cheapest tower.
Dart Monkeys can be upgraded. There are different upgrade paths, including multiple darts, crossbows and catapults.
5. The "Bloons TD 6" game contains an extensive tutorial for new players.
Answer: True When starting to play on a fresh installation of the game, the player is asked if they are 'new'. If so, an in-game tutorial uses guided game-play to teach some of the principles necessary to succeed.
Numerous walkthroughs for the game's many maps and modes are also available on YouTube.
6. "Bloons TD 6" players can choose a hero before starting a game. Which of these is the 'environmentally-aware' hero?
Answer: Obyn GreenfootAll the answers are heroes in "Bloons TD 6".
Heroes have special abilities and may 'buff' nearby towers, making them stronger.
Obyn's label is, 'Forest Guardian'. He can summon brambles and a 'Wall of Trees' to pop or trap Bloons.
7. In "Bloons TD 6", which is the strongest Bloon?
Answer: BAD: 'Big Airship of Doom'All the answers are Bloons in "Bloons TD 6".
These monsters are usually seen in mid and late game-play. The BAD needs to be defeated in Round 100 to win games using Impoppable and CHIMPS modes.
In order of increasing strength:
Blue MOABs, Red BFBs, Green ZOMGs, Purple BADs.
Not mentioned in this question are DDTs (Dark Dirigible Titans). These 'MOAB-class' Bloons are black and move very quickly.
In addition, all the 'MOAB-class' Bloons may be fortified, making them even stronger.
8. Of the following maps in "Bloons TD 6", which is the most difficult?
Answer: Bloody PuddlesThe answers are all maps in "Bloons TD 6".
'Monkey Meadow' is a beginner-level map and the first that most newcomers play.
'Chutes' is an intermediate-level map, featuring two alternating paths from different sides of the screen.
'Peninsula' is an advanced-level map with a lot of water and very little room for building towers.
'Bloody Puddles' is an expert-level map featuring five very short paths. During much of the game-play on this map, two paths are in action at the same time. Players have struggled to win games on 'Bloody Puddles' using the particularly-difficult CHIMPS mode.
9. 'CHIMPS' is the most difficult and restrictive mode in "Bloons TD 6". It is an acronym for 'No Continues, Hearts lost, Income, Monkey knowledge, Powers or Selling.' A 'Continue' means starting again from the beginning of the game when all lives have been lost.
Answer: False A 'Continue' means restarting the game on the current level, with fresh lives and money.
'CHIMPS' mode is supposedly, 'The true test of a BTD master.' It is harder than most of the other modes. CHIMPS games go up to Round 100 where players have to dispatch a purple BAD ('Big Airship of Doom') to win the game.
No Continues means that if a Bloon escapes, you have to replay the entire game, rather than restarting from the current round. Lives are symbolised by 'Hearts' and in CHIMPS, there is only one life so there is no margin for error. The game includes several towers that can normally be used to generate extra 'Income', but that does not apply with CHIMPS. An elaborate system of 'Monkey Knowledge' built up over hundreds of hours of play makes the game easier, only it's unavailable in CHIMPS, as are 'Powers' and 'Selling'. A variety of special powers may be purchased but the inability to use them or sell unwanted towers are significant disadvantages.
10. "Bloons TD 6" contains more than forty different maps. Each map can be played in fourteen different modes. What 'special prize' is given to players who beat a map all fourteen ways (including CHIMPS without restarting)?
Answer: black borderThe different modes for each map also mean different degrees of difficulty.
Players receive a medal for each and every mode where the map is beaten.
Gaining fourteen medals on a map, including winning the CHIMPS medal without restarting results in the map gaining a 'black border'. Maybe this is a New Zealand thing, given that many successful sporting teams from this country play in black.
