I think this game is a twisted social experiment on how much time people are willing to waste just to get a badge. Later you will read in the news "survey says - 10% of people are masochists".
Man, these guards are not very bright, are they... I mean, there's a dead body and bloody tracks leading exactly to my hiding place and they are all "where is he?", "where did he go?"
You can tell how many specials you have by floating your mouse over it. You will see ghost rings floating over the lighted bonus circle according to how many more than one you have. If you have three specials, there will be two ghost rings over the base one.
