Enigmatis: The Ghosts of Maple Creek – Game Introduction

Welcome to the Enigmantis: Ghosts of Maple Creek Collector’s Edition walkthrough on Gamezebo. Enigmantis: Ghosts of Maple Creek Collector’s Edition is a Hidden Object Game played on the PC created by Artifex Mundi. This walkthrough includes tips and tricks, helpful hints and a strategy guide on how to complete Enigmantis: Ghosts of Maple Creek Collector’s Edition.

General Tips

This hidden object game requires visiting several locations and using inventory items to advance play.

  • Play is mostly linear although there are some options for the order in which to explore locations.
  • The Hint button is a good tool for determining the next location to explore.
  • CAPITALIZED inventory items are meant to make it easier to find where this guide may deviate from your own play.
  • Always move the cursor around a scene. Watch the cursor to see if it changes into a hand or magnifying glass.

Main Menu:

  • Play – Begin or resume a game. The first time you play you must select a difficulty level:
    • Regular – Hint and Skip buttons recharge faster. Active zones glimmer frequently. There are no mis-click penalties in the hidden object scenes. The player character gives more direct hints. Locations with an available action are indicated on the map in the notebook.
    • Expert – Hint and Skip buttons take longer to recharge. Active zones are not indicated. A mis-click penalty is assessed in hidden object scenes. There are fewer direct hints from the player character and available action areas are not shown on the map in the notebook.
  • Options – Change music and sound effects volume. Switch between Expert and Regular difficulty levels. You may select or deselect full screen, aspect correction and a custom cursor.
  • Help – Describes how to interact with the game.
  • Exit – Quit the game.
  • Extras – Concept art, wallpapers, videos, hidden object scenes and bonus play are only available after completing the game.
  • Profiles – Click the “If this is not you – CLICK HERE” link to create, delete or switch player profiles.
  • More Info – Contains the strategy guide, credits and a link to the Big Fish Games website for forum help.

Screen Navigation:

  • Menu – Change your options, resume the game, see the help screens or return to the main menu.
  • Hint/Skip Bar – Clicking will show a random item from an itemized list. Hints are not limited and the bar refills quickly in regular play mode. The bar turns into a Skip bar for puzzles.
  • Notebook – Clicking an object can add clues or information. The notebook glows when new information is added.
  • Inventory/Item List – A scrollable list of icons showing available items or a list of hidden items to be collected.

Symbol Meanings:

  • Magnifying Glass – Zoom in on interactive area.
  • Gears – Interact with an object: open a door or move an object.
  • Hand – Pick up an object.
  • Sparkles – Hidden object areas.

Walkthrough

A short clip explains the background and introduces the story line for play.

If you are not familiar with hidden object games, click “Yes” when asked if you would like a tutorial. This will show you how to interact with objects and characters.

The objects for hidden object scenes are randomly generated. That is why only inventory items are shown in this walkthrough. They are highlighted in white with a blue border. Objects listed in blue require an extra step to find them. Move your cursor around until the cursor turns into a set of gears.

With the exception of a hidden object area, most inventory items are not collected from a scene until they are needed.

Assumptions:

  • You know to click through the conversations with characters.
  • After you have gone back and forth between locations more than once, you don’t need to be told how many times to go up or down. Refer to the map in the notebook as needed.
  • Just as in the movies, you will always enter a darkened door, window or cave.

This guide is written using Regular play mode.
