Game Introduction – House of 1000 Doors: The Palm of Zoroaster

Welcome to the House of 1000 Doors: The Palm of Zoroaster walkthrough on Gamezebo. House of 1000 Doors: The Palm of Zoroaster is a hidden object game created by Alawar Games. This walkthrough includes tips and tricks, helpful hints, and a strategy guide on how to complete House of 1000 Doors: The Palm of Zoroaster.

General Tips

  • You can play this game in Casual or Expert mode. In Casual mode the hint button recharges after a minute and interactive areas are indicated with sparkles. In Expert mode the hint button recharges in two minutes and interactive areas are not indicated. Hidden Object Scenes (HOS) are indicated with sparkles in both modes

  • The cursor normally looks like a little gold arrow with a blue gem in it. The blue gem will start to rotate if you hover over an item that requires an action. Clicking on the item will give you a hint as to what action is required

  • A magnifying glass icon indicates you can inspect an object more closely

  • A hand icon means you can pick up an item. Usually the items you pick up will go into your inventory bar at the bottom of the screen but occasionally you will need to use the item straight away

  • Once you’ve crossed the water to the house in scene two you will find a very useful interactive map, which can be accessed in the bottom right of the screen. The map shows all areas that are accessible to you and allows you to instantly jump to another area without having to trudge through all the areas in between. Your current location is indicated with two little footprints. Unlike interactive maps in other games, this map only highlights the areas with objectives that you can currently complete. These areas will show up green on the map. So if you find an item that is required to complete an objective in a previous area, this area will instantly be highlighted on your map, saving you a lot of guesswork and toing and froing

  • Your journal will keep track of all the notes and newspapers you find and click on throughout the game. Refer to your journal for puzzle solutions that appeared on the notes and papers

  • The hint button only works in areas with objectives you can complete and in HOS

  • In the HOS some items are listed in red. These items require an extra step before you can take them, like using matches to light a lantern, or pulling down a curtain to reveal a hidden area. Most HOS also have places you can zoom in on, for example the inside of a chest, to find more items

  • Puzzles can be skipped when the skip button has filled up. You can reset puzzles by exiting and restarting the puzzle
