There is a door at the beginning; it opens as the camera goes into the door. The player will see the first player looking at the various clocks that are hanging in the room as the clocks are ticking. Suddenly, a loud clock is ticking as it surprises the player. The player quickly goes near to the big clock as the second hand and minute hand is moving at the same way. The both hands continue move at the random speed as the camera will move close to the clock. Then the other players' boxes on the screen appear from the left-down corner as the both hands stop towards 12 midnight/noon. Then the mini-game starts.

The shaded hands appear at all the players' clocks as the players attempt to move both of the clock hands to center it onto the shaded hand area to get a point. Additionally, at the middle of the screen; the hands on the clock look the same as the other players' clocks. This is just to show where to center the hands to. The player moves the hands by only moving the second hand. Additionally, the faster the hand moves; the more likely the player will try to get a point but have to slow down to get the point. The players’ will have to turn what side to turn the hands as they have to pick the closest side as possible. If a player successfully gets a point in the game, all the players' hands that are moving freezes for a moment as the shaded hands on the players' clocks change randomly as the process repeats again. The first player who gets the three points first wins.

At the end of the mini-game, when the player gets the first three points; the other players' hands on the clocks start to shake and then sprung out. Then the camera goes to the player's box who wins as the camera slowly moves back to see the character. Additionally, the clocks are ticking in the background. The character wins as the character attempts to do a winning pose, then every clock on the walls starts to shake as the player in the room starts to be scared.

Bleck. I hate this mini-game so much. I can never get the pointers on the clock to match 100% perfectly with the shadowed pointers. This mini-game is seriously awful and I just don't like it. >_>
 
When I first played this game I was suprised how "slow" the clock actually moved when I turned it, because it's not like the clock game in mp5 where you can move both hands, but I got used to it and it's easy for me. I like the ending when the player wins and all of the clocks go crazy.
 
It was a funny moment at the end but the game play was difficult. Similar to uh... was it Clock Hoppers? In MP5, you had to match the minute and hour hands. But this time you can do it quicker and by yourself. But I hate when it changes to one the opponent already has on their screen or close to it. I give it 3 grandfather clock chimes out of 5.

How bout moving it slowly when you're close as in raise the wii remote a little I actually hold the wii remote in a different way and trust me this minigame is a piece of cake when you hold the wii remote that way anyway I like it It's an OK Minigame i guess...
 
It's really annoying on how they get a CPU to match the exact time at the same time when you are about to  match it about 0.5 seconds off.
