Quixotic Mayhem
Quixotic Mayhem is a collection of 60+
mini-games with Musix Zone 2005 as the
central game. Successfully completing the mini-games will allow you to
buy letters. Buy enough letters to help you decode Musix Zone.
Musix Zone 2005
This is the central mini-game of Quixotic Mayhem. In
order to advance to the next act, thus unlocking more mini-games, you must
complete Musix Zone. In this game, you answer
multiple-choice questions about who made a certain song (or vice
versa). For instance, if a name of an artist appears as the question,
select the song made by that artist.
However, not all letters are revealed! You must buy
letters beforehand in order to have them revealed. Letters that are not
revealed are displayed as *'s. If you don't have enough cash to buy
letters, then complete more mini-games.
This picture shows a Musix Zone question with only the letters B, J, and Z revealed.
Successfully completing Musix Zone will allow you to go on to the next
act. Beat all 7 acts to become the Quixotic Mayhem master!
As an alternative to Musix Zone, you may play Metrix Zone instead. Metrix
Zone deals with measurements and quantities. A number or measurement will
appear; select the correct answer from the choices given.
