GENERAL TIPS

This game has one mode only and it’s a timed mode. There’s no way to turn off the timer, however, the time allotments are quite generous, which should give you enough time to complete all missions.
The game is pretty generous when it comes to random clicking, however, if you click too many incorrect items quickly, you will get 30 seconds deducted off your clock. I found that if you clicked several incorrect objects slowly that you did not get penalized.
In some instances it will be necessary for you to click randomly when you’re trying to figure out the "optional items" since the hints do not work for this part of the game.
The only time you don’t have to play against the clock is when you’re playing mini-games, in that instance you can take your time and solve the puzzles.
If you need to pause the game, you can click on the clock that is in the upper left corner. To resume the game, just click on the clock again.
You can toggle between locations by clicking on the "map" icon that is on the lower left side of the screen.
Clicking items can be challenging in this game since so many items are so tiny on the screen. Very slim items require very precise clicking or the game will not accept it.

HINTS

You will start each location with a certain amount of hints. That amount is determined by how many locations you have to complete in a chapter. The hints you get have to be used for all the locations you have, so make sure that you use them wisely. You don’t want to get stuck and run out of hints.
The only way to get extra hints in this game is by completing the "optional items" that are given in certain location. After you solved an optional item, you get one extra hint.
Click on "hint" when you want to find an item, you will see a circle of arrows that is pointing to one item on your list. Then you will see that the item will start to pulsate. It will do this for a few seconds.
The hints cannot help you look for items that are on the optional items list, you will have to figure those out on your own.

OPTIONAL ITEMS

There are certain locations that have the "optional items" section. You must figure out how to solve these tasks without any help from the hint system. Most of the time, these special tasks involve picking up items around the scene and placing them someplace else.
Other times you have to place items in a location according to their size.
Once you complete these tasks you will receive an extra hint.
Always look in the lower left corner to see if there are any optional items to solve.
If you find all the items in the scene that you’re in and you didn’t complete a special task, that level will end and you will not be able to complete the optional items. Make sure that you complete the optional items before you find all the items on your list.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!! The section below contains solutions to all the puzzles, mini games and the optional items tasks. If you do not wish to know the answers to the puzzles, please stop reading now. Thanks

KEYHOLE MINI GAME

It’s important to note that in order to solve this puzzle you have to pay attention to the colors and the numbers in each keyhole.
The solution is random, the keys will always go in the same place, the only that varies is the position that you turn the keys in.
Place the keys in the holes that match their color. Then look at the numbers that are written by each hole. If you were looking at a clock, you would turn the key to reflect the time on a clock. For example, if it says the number 12, then you know that the notch on the key hole has to be facing upwards.
Once the puzzle is solved, the door will open. Click on the machine to find the white pebbles.
