Unlocking Book Pictures

  • Opening pictures in a book – Click on the “Play” button to open the book and you will see that there are four pages in the book and they must be unlocked before you can play them. You can use classic coins to purchase the unlocking of the pages or you can use classic cash to unlock any page early.

Solving Pictures

  • Once you unlock a page click on the “Play” button and you will be taken to the picture in full screen mode.
  • Objective – Your objective is to click on absolutely anything that moves in the picture. You will see once you click on a moving object it will freeze and highlight in blue. You want to click on the moving objects as fast as possible as this will multiply your score and earn you a time bonus.
  • Indicator Panel – Along the top of the screen you will see many useful things. First of all each time you click on a moving item the number at the top of the screen increases. The faster you go and the less time in between finding moving objects the higher your score. If you stop for a few seconds you will notice this number goes down. You don’t want it to go down so you need to move fast or use a power up which you can purchase in the store for classic cash. Each time you find a moving item you will see a purple dot at the top of the indicator panel. The lighted white dots indicate how many items are currently moving on the screen. It is helpful to sometimes glance up at the panel to see how many items are moving if you are stuck.
  • Scoring – Your score is shown at the end of every movement hunting session. If you are fast enough you will earn a time bonus in addition to a multiplier bonus.

Living Classics

  • Summary screen – Once you have your score you will be taken to a screen that shows your ranking among other Living Classics players on the same book page session. You can invite these players to be your neighbors by clicking on the little blue man symbol or you can send them a free gift of energy in hopes they will return the favor.

Finding and Tending to Foxes

  • As you solve the active screens you will sometimes see a fox or part of a fox somewhere in the scene near the end. You will need to quickly click on the fox to officially find him. In each book there are five foxes that are lost. You will see on the main page pictures of the five lost foxes and each time you find one you earn coins and the other foxes become happy. You will be notified if you find a fox.
  • Tending to your foxes – Each day you will need to feed your foxes cookies or other available treats to keep them happy and in place once you find them. If you do not play the game for several days you will see the foxes in uncompleted collections will become sad and go back into the book and become lost again and you will have to play the scenes again to find them.
  • Giving a fox a cookie makes them happy and increases the odds you will find them in the active scene when you are searching.

Living Classics

  • Completing a fox collection – Each time you find all the foxes they will be shown on the cover of the book as a group and very happy. They will never become sad once on the cover of the book and will always stay there.
  • Any foxes you have found in an uncompleted collection may become sad and return to the book and become lost. Be sure to tend to them each day so this doesn’t’ happen. Your neighbors can also tend to your foxes to keep them happy for you and you can tend to theirs. (See “Visiting your Neighbors” below)
  • Each book has a different collection of foxes and you will need to tend to all of the collections daily. When you tend to the foxes you have found, you will keep them happy and you can also make them happy by finding more foxes in the other books.

Tips and Tricks

  • When looking at the active screen keep an eye on the indicator at the top of the screen. Try to keep the number moving up fast by finding moving objects in the scene quickly. If you slow down the number will go down. This number is a multiplier for points and if you are fast you will also earn a time bonus.
  • It seems to help find items if you try to not look in one general area. Try to hold your eyes still on the scene and let the movements jump out to you.
  • Be sure to send out daily gifts to your neighbor so they will return the favor.
  • Tend to your foxes daily and don’t let them get lost again as this will cost you money down the line.
  • Visit all of your neighbors every day for maximum hearts to spend on the third page quest requirement.
