Has one of the riddles in Can You See What I See got you stumped? Would you like to know where that particularly hard to find item is? Read our tips & tricks - complete with screeshots - to find out everything you need to know.
GENERAL TIPS
This game is pretty straightforward. You have a list of items at the bottom of the screen, and from that list you have to find and click on the correct items. Sounds simple enough, well don't be fooled this game is more challenging than it looks. The objects are visible, but since there are so many things to see on the screen, they can be hard to find at times.
You will start the game with 5 hints. Additional hints can be obtained in two different ways: You can find Seymour in each scene, or you can play a mini-game. You will see a picture of Seymour in the "How to Play" screen at the beginning of the game. There are 12 locations to visit, and Seymour will be in each location only once. You will receive one hint for each Seymour that you find, which means you will get an additional 12 hints just for finding him.
In summation, you start with 5 hints, you can earn 12 extra hints by finding Seymour and 10 more with the Jumble Jar game.For the whole game you will only have 27 hints available so use them wisely.
Once you have found Seymour, clicking on him again will actually register as a missed click, so be careful.
The more hints you have left on your screen at the end of each game the more points you will earn. Try to accumulate as many hints without using them in order to get a higher score each time.
You cannot use hints in the puzzles in which you need to find rare collectibles, the card matching games or in the Jumble Jar game. Hints can only be used for the hidden object search part of the game.
Another way of obtaining hints is by playing the Jumble Jar mini game that appears in the lower right side of the scene. This is a fun game that has a time limit attached to it. You will need to drag items from the jar into their appropriate bins. If you can separate them correctly within the allotted time you will earn an extra hint.
You can only play the Jumble Jar game a maximum of ten times, which means you can only earn an additional 10 hints by doing so. You will earn the ability to play more Jumble Jar games as you complete certain levels. You can wait and play them all at once or you can play them as they appear on the screen.
I found it easier to place all the same items at one time in a bin. This would cut down on confusion since it made it easier to focus and not get the bins mixed up.
The Jumble Jar game starts with four different bins in which you must put items in, buttons, beads, cars and blocks. Each time you play, more items and more bins will be added to the list. After you've played 5 rounds you will have 6 bins instead of 4, shells, cars, blocks, others, buttons and beads.
In the bin marked "others" you should put anything that doesn't belong in the other five categories, like animals, coins, mechanical parts etc. You can play the Jumble Jar several times in a row until you get all the hints you need.
There's a memory mini game that you will play as well. This is a straightforward match cards memory game. In some of the matching games you will need to match identical objects. In other instances you will need to match cards with the same color. This mini game will help you unlock part of the collectible secret code. There is no time limit when you play this game.
Each item you click on an incorrect item, you will lose 40 seconds off your clock. You may be able to get away with a few incorrect clicks without penalty, but not too many.
You cannot click on Seymour if you've already found the last item on the list. If you've clicked on your last item on the list and then you realize that you forgot to click on Seymour, you will not be able to do it. You will get another chance to click on him once you revisit that scene again.
There's no way to skip puzzles in this game so you must complete everything in order to move on.
If you decide to exit out of the game before you've completed a level, you will have to start from the beginning of such level upon your return. If you don't want to start over, especially in a tough round, it may be best to take a few minutes and finish so that you don't have to start over.
In order to decipher the secret code you will need to rotate the wooden block pieces. Each block has three letter choices; turn the blocks around until you decipher the right word. Once you've identified the correct word, the blocks will merge together and automatically lock into place.
You can right click on parts of the screen so you can zoom in or out of the screen and get a closer look. Each scene is divided into four quarters, right-clicking on each quarter will zoom in on whatever quarter you've selected. You will definitely need to use the zooming feature since some items are so small that it can be hard to click on them otherwise.
If you don't want to right click in order to zoom in on an area, you can click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of the scene. The screen will automatically divide itself in 4 quadrants. Press your magnifying glass on the quadrant that you want and you will get a more detailed look of that corner.
After each main puzzle you will have a riddle that you need to solve. Solving the riddle will give you the answer for the item that you need to find. The item will be part of a rare collectible item that must be found. Find and decipher all 12 and you will win the game.
When you're done with the game you have the option of starting a new game or replaying with a new set of collectibles to find.

Margie B,
Fantastic walkthrough! I don't know where you find the time to do these, but the detailed work is really appreciated. And I really enjoyed this game.
The only additional tip I'd add is that a few items are right on the borders between the four quadrants, so that when you zoom in, you'll get half the item in, say, the zoom for the lower left quadrant and half of it in the zoom for the lower right. This can make them very hard to recognise. (One of these is an anchor, but if you go through the whole game including the bonus rounds there are 3 or 4 that fall in these areas.)
I learned that if I couldn't find something by using the zoom in all four quadrants it was likely to be right along the quadrant lines, and I needed to look at the standard image and search that area very carefully.
Oh, and there was one bug that seemed to affect several of us. At one point you will be looking for several baseball bats in one scene. One of these is blue. In order to get the game to accept the blue bat, we had to click very slightly to the left of it. All the other items required being very precise--if a clue was for "an elephant's trunk" and you clicked on the elephant's body it wouldn't count. But the blue bat seems to be just slightly off. I don't know if that affects everyone, but it's worth knowing if a click there doesn't work.
Thanks again for all your hard work!!!

I am a HO addict and love most of the games, some are just to easy and others are a challenge. This site is awesome..
My fav HO game is Azada..and I wonder if Azada 2 is in the making??

Hi, Denise! Gamezebo is my favourite review site--Margie B and the other reviewers do an amazing job.
There's a search box at the top of each Gamezebo page. If you put the game name in there, you can see if there's a Tips and Tricks article about it. I know there was one for Hidden Secrets the Nightmare, so you should find that answer there.
Azada 2 is supposed to be in development but hasn't been released yet. I usually check the Gamezebo home page a couple of times a week--they do a great job of keeping up with announcements, and sometimes get preview screen shots, too.
Good luck!

Thanks to some Gamezebo help, I finally got through and all the way to the "bonus" game after finding the rare item. In the last bin, though, the buttons, I can find every one except the second smiley face. The one I found is in the right side, with the pink cheeks. Is the second one just like that, or a different kind of face? It's the very last one in the very last bin of the very last game and I'd really love to finish it. : ) Thanks for any help.
Posted by: Melissa at March 20, 2008 02:12 AM
Melissa,
The only clue I remember for two smiley faces in the bonus round was in the "Beads & Baubles," lower left. This one was tricky, because I wondered if they meant the snowman or the cowboy or what.
The two they wanted were both on the right side, fairly close to each other, but one in the upper right zoom quadrant and one in the lower right zoom quadrant. One is a regular "smiley face" on a tiny silver block in a bowl of silver items (upper right quadrant, towards the right side of the bowl). The other is a wooden bead face, much bigger, below and a little to the left of the bowl with the silver items.
Were those the ones you were looking for?

Robin, thank you again! I had thought that was a copyright symbol (!!!) so passed over it. Thanks for helping me so much.
Posted by: Melissa at March 21, 2008 03:39 PM
one erksome problem with "do you see me". I gain the hints by finding Seymour or working the collection jar, but I can't use them.
I have 2 hints now but are useless. Suggestions?
This is such a great game.

Got a question
Can you see what i see game riddle #11 (these became worth more than ten when jesse signed them with a pen i don't understand the riddle i know the answer was a ten dollar bill but who is jesse and what does he have to do with a ten dollar bill? can anyone tell me ?
thanks
Posted by: Janice at March 24, 2008 02:17 PM
I've got a question.....are there different levels to "Can You See What I See?"?
I've "beaten" the game, so now it allows me to play any bin of my choosing, with different items to find. I played each bin in succession and then started over again, thinking I would have a new list of merchandise to find. As I played the first several bins the second time around, the clues are exactly the same. Also, the summary that is given at the end of each completion shows that I'm on "level 1".
Is there a method of playing the game in order to replay the bins with yet a different set of clues after the "conclusion" of the game?
I will say this: I own quite a few HOG games and have played trial versions of many others, but I really appreciate the innovative methods the authors have taken in the making of this game. They ingeniously attacked the challenge of creating a HOG game with a novel and fresh approach, instead of merely cloning some of the same tired old formulas that are floating around out there in cyberspace. I also love the "retro" feel of the genuine odds-and ends collectibles that are found throughout the game...BRAVO!

I noticed no answer yet to the problem with the unusable hints. I, too, have the same problem. I had two hints and couldn't use them. Got another one for a total of three and still can't use them. Is this a glitch in the program? Thanks for the tips and hints. They save our sanity!!!
Posted by: MarjAZ at March 25, 2008 04:54 PM
I had 2 hints and i could not use them so i re-started my computer and i could use them then
Posted by: Janice at March 25, 2008 05:02 PM
i had no answer to my question does anyone know.
it is riddle #11 who is jesse and what does he have to do with a 10 dollar bill on the game can you see what i see
Posted by: Janice at March 25, 2008 06:02 PM
I cant find the net and the car in the buttons bin can anyone help me locate them
Posted by: golferswife at March 26, 2008 09:43 AM
Jesse is Jesse James. The ten dollar bill was actually confederate money that he signed. Well at least that is what it said on the page in the game about the rare item.

does anyone know where all four baseball bats are in the multiple bins? I've found three but I'm stumped on the 4th
Posted by: kris at March 26, 2008 07:48 PM
Kris,
The 4th baseball bat is in the bin that is on the left side.First row, middle bin, click on the small blue baseball player that is holding the bat. You have to click the bat in the right spot or it will not take. Click it somewhere in the middle.

The net is a tennis net, it's on a button with a tennis player. It's sort of a dark brown brass colour, towards the right if I recall correctly.
The car is a little yellow car like a VW bug, up towards the top in the center. This may be one of the ones that you won't see if you only use the zoom feature, as it's right near the quadrant line.
Good luck!

Can You See What I See needs to be downloaded on this site
Posted by: Kenny W Davis at April 9, 2008 08:14 PM
This walkthrough is kinda useless for the dinosaur part...all the circles for finding the Four skeletons...turtle...etc that you posted...are no where to be found in the game.
Sorry!
Posted by: Kimberley at April 18, 2008 06:27 PM
I must commend you on the finest walk through/helpful hints, for the game "Can You See What I See?". I always used another site for my hints and cheats, but I am now reformed. Thumbs up to an awesome jon and a fantastic site! I have already referred several people to this site and will more than happily refer more!

I purchased can you see what I see. I solved the riddle and found the rare collectable. I do not see an option for start another game. I just keep getting the same puzzles. Am I doing something wrong?
Posted by: Merry at April 27, 2008 08:15 PM
Um...Unless there is a whole walkthrough on where things are at that you need to find...There is no logic to this game.
There are certain things i need to find and i am running out of time each time...on the clock.
