1 Moment of Time: Silentville Walkthrough

Welcome to the 1 Moment of Time: Silentville walkthrough on Gamezebo. 1 Moment of Time: Silentville is a hidden object game created by 2 Monkeys. This walkthrough includes tips and tricks, helpful hints, and a strategy guide on how to complete 1 Moment of Time: Silentville.

Game Introduction – 1 Moment of Time: Silentville

General Tips

You can choose casual or challenging mode. In challenging mode, interactive spots are not indicated with sparkles and the hint and skip buttons take longer to charge.
An eye icon means you can inspect an object more closely.
A hand icon means you can pick up an item for your inventory.
A rotating gears icon indicates an interactive place that requires an action.
An ornate arrow shows where you can exit to another scene. Note that doors need to be open before you can move through them. Hover your cursor over a door to open it, then click to walk through.
The journal in the bottom left of the screen keeps track of your progress. You can also refer to the journal for some extra hints on things you need to do.
Early on in the game you will find an interactive map, which will be placed next to your journal in the bottom left of the screen. Areas you haven’t yet explored will be covered with clouds. Moving your cursor over the map will show you the main areas of the game. Each of those areas consists of several different scenes. Clicking on one of the areas will take you to the first scene of the area. You will still need to walk to the other scenes yourself.
In this game, hidden object scenes (HOS) are very interactive. Most items require some kind of action; for example you need to put two items together (like knitting needles and a ball of yarn to make a scarf) or you need to alter the object (like setting the hands on a clock). Items that can be picked up for use are indicated with a hand icon. Those that need to have another item used on them are indicated with the gears icon. Note that some items still need to be manually picked up after you’ve completed them. Items listed in blue are complete and can be picked up. However, they could still be hidden inside a drawer or a cabinet.
Clicking the hint button will instantly take you to a location that requires the next action. Simply moving to another area does not “use up” the hint and you won’t need to wait until it recharges. A hint is only used up if you use it to find the interactive place in your current scene.

The Train Station

Take the LADDER.
Zoom in on the chopping block and axe. Click on the logs and then on the axe to chop the log into pieces. Pick up the pieces, then repeat with the other logs. Each log is chopped into four pieces and some are quite hard to see, so scan the window carefully with your cursor. You can chop all the wood before you decide to pick them up, just know there are twenty pieces of wood in total. You get the FIREWOOD.
Go into the house.

Zoom in on the table and pick up the LENSES.
Zoom in on the bucket on the left and pick up the DRY RAG and PAIR OF TONGS.

Zoom in on the door and place the ROPES AND PULLEYS to trigger a mini game.

Click on the ball on the left and hold to charge. The bigger the green arrow, the greater the speed. Try and shoot a ball into each of the baskets. This is quite hard, but what worked best for me was to shoot quite steeply up so you get a tall, narrow curve.
Enter the boutique.

Zoom in on the little table and pick up the SPRAYER.
Zoom in on the shelves and take the GLASS TUBE.
There is lots more to do here later, but first go back to the lighthouse keeper’s house.

Go back to the boutique (to the left of the town hall – use the map).
Inside the boutique are five MIRRORS you need to cut with the GLASS CUTTER – two in the front of the shop and three in the back.

Now, the carpet puzzle is a bit tricky. Click on the pile of rugs on the floor to pick one up. Look closely at the pattern on the rug and then find the shelf where it needs to go. Click directly on the little square on the shelf that matches the color of the rug you’ve picked up. I’ve shown a few examples in the image above, but they come up at random. Keep going until you can pick up the THICK BLACK FABRIC.
Go to the lighthouse and go up the stairs.

Put the five MIRRORS in their frames.
Zoom in on the bowl in the middle.
Put the FIREWOOD in the bowl and cover it with the KEROSENE SOAKED RAG.
Light it with the MATCHES.

You can now go through the gates by the boutique.

Go on to the house.

Talk to the gardener.
Pick up the BUTTERFLY NET and the SHOVEL.

First go left to the greenhouse. There’ll be much more to do here later, but right now all you need to do is look at the book on the ground to trigger the lily pad puzzle.
Back out to the gardener and go right to the lily pond.

Click on the pond to trigger a mini game.
Keep moving the lilies around until they are all in three rows at the top.

The glue bottle is in a drawer.
You get an EMPTY GLUE BOTTLE.
Go to the tree by the lighthouse.

Zoom in on the branch.
Use the HAND DRILL to drill a hole in the branch, put the GLASS TUBE in it and collect the resin in the EMPTY GLUE BOTTLE. Take the bottle with GLUE.
Go to the lighthouse keeper’s house.

Zoom in on the barrel of kerosene and fill the EMPTY LAMP with kerosene.
Now go to the lighthouse itself.
Zoom in on the floor and put the MOSAIC PIECE on the floor.

Rotate all the discs to complete the mosaic. When two discs are matched up correctly they will stay together. The trickiest part is to match the inner rings to the other ones as there doesn’t appear to be a visual clue to it. Just keep turning the middle rings until they click into place.
Pick up the second MYSTERIOUS SYMBOL.
Go up the stairs.

Zoom in on the embers.
Put the FULL LAMP by the embers and use the ROSE’S THORN to get a LIGHTED LAMP (sic).

Enter the mine.

Use the ROCK HAMMER on the wall on the left.
Pick up a piece of MAGNETIC ORE.
Zoom in on the wall and memorize the directions as you will need them to go through the mines: left, right, right, left, right.
Go deeper into the mine and take route according to the directions. Scenes where you can only go one way do count – if the path goes right when you should be going left at this point you know you’re in the wrong place! If you make a wrong turn you will be taken back to the mine entrance.

Pick up the FILM CARTRIDGE.
Back out to the gates to the mansion.
Zoom in on the path and pick up the PIECE OF KEY.
Zoom in on the lock and use the MAGNETIC ORE to take out the second PIECE OF KEY.
Go to the lighthouse keeper’s house and go into the back room.

Take the KEY IMPRINT.

Finally, put the FILM CARTRIDGE on the device and flick the switch.

Zoom in on the tray on the left and put the UNDEVELOPED PHOTO PAPER in it.
Take the PHOTO.

Turn the handle to play a mini game.
Move the pieces of the key around until it matches the example on the wall. Each time you click on a piece it moves to the end. Start by clicking the far left piece until the correct section is on the far left. Then click on the second piece from the left until that one is correct, etc.
Get the MANSION KEY.
Go to the park and on to the gates.
Unlock the gate with the MANSION KEY.

Exit to the park bench and go left to the car.
Play the new HOS.

Put the 8 from the dashboard on the billiard ball in the glove compartment (green). Use the dart to pop the balloon (orange).

Put the SEEDS in the soil, put the FERTILIZER on it and use the FULL WATERING CAN to water the flowers.
Cover the flowerbed with the PLASTIC CURTAIN.
Zoom in on the window for a mini game.

You need to rotate the groups of four window panes by clicking on the round buttons until all clear windows are over a flowerbed.
Zoom in on the bed again for another game.

Wait until the flowers bloom and then quickly pick them before they wilt again. This goes quite fast so take your time and wait by a flower until it blooms and then quickly pick it and put it in the correct basket. Fill the four baskets.
Take the four BASKETS OF FLOWERS.
Back out to the boutique.
Enter the boutique and zoom in on the table on the right.

Put a BASKET OF FLOWERS in the grinder, turn the handle and pick up the FLOWERS’ FLOUR. Do this for all four baskets.
Now zoom in on the middle table.

Put the four lots of FLOWERS’ FLOUR in the bowls.
Now look at the chart on the right. You need to make solutions of the correct amounts of the colored powders, according to the chart. It doesn’t matter in which order you do the powders.
For example, put three lots of the purple powder in the bowl at the top (A). Turn the knob on the left (B, green) to fill the mechanism with water. Then turn the knob under the bowl (C, red) to put the powder in the water. If done correctly, the water should turn purple (for all colors of flowers, not just the purple ones).
When the water is bubbling purple, find the correct knob to turn on the main compartment (D, blue) to fill one of the small bottles at the front. When you’ve done all four powders, put the EMPTY FLASK under the tap and turn the knob above it (E, pink) to mix the potion.
If you made a mistake with the powders you can empty the bowl with the knob to the right of the bowl (F, orange). If your water bubbles black instead of purple you can empty the system with the knob on the right of the main compartment (G, white).

When you’re mixing the potion you will need to play another circuit puzzle. Turn all the pieces until everything is connected and the potion can flow through all the tubes.
Take the FLASK OF ESSENCE.
Back all the way out to the train platform at the start of the game.

Zoom in on the sleeping man and put the FLASK OF ESSENCE under his nose.
Look under the bench and take the CLAPPER.

According to the instructions from the globe in the mansion, we first need to set the clock to 16:05. So, zoom in on the clock and put the small hand on the 4 and the large hand on the 1. I don’t know what it is with this game, but it’s really finicky every time you have to rotate something!
Zoom in on the bell.
Put the CLAPPER on the bell and outlines of symbols appear.
Put the GLUE and all four MYSTERIOUS SYMBOLS on the bell.
Ring the bell three times.
Open the book and watch the ending.
