I. General Tips & Information
o Each level consists of (10) objects you will need to find. If you exit the game, it will automatically save upon quitting, also saving how many objects you’ve found for the level you left unfinished.
o In each level is hidden one film reel and one key (circled in gold in the guide). Collect both for each level to unlock the bonus modes in the main menu. (Note: there are no film reels or keys on bonus levels). If you miss them the first time around, you will be able to collect them when you revisit that area.
o In each level is also hidden a police officer’s badge (circled in light blue in the guide). Collect all 25 to receive 1,000,000 bonus points. If you miss them the first time around, you will be able to collect them when you revisit that area.
o In many levels, one of the items on the list will ‘appear in quotes like this’. This is actually a task, i.e., ‘open the tin can’. Find the can opener, and move it over the tin can, and click to complete the task.
o Items that appear in CAPS are very often literal words you will need to find.
o At the end of a level, you will have gotten enough clues to skip the remaining items on the list and move on to the next area. You can either choose to move on, or stay on the level to collect more points and thus a higher score.
o Hints are only limited to your score: hints cost 7,500 points each. After using a hint, the hint button will charge for a few moments before you can use it again. (Note: you can select "Unlimited Hints" in the game Options).
o To achieve higher scores: try finding two or more items on the list at a time before clicking/"finding" them– this will earn you 2,500, 3,500, 4,500 etc. extra points each per consecutive finds.
o Upon finding all 25 keys and reels, you will unlock to additional game modes:
-Unlimited Seek & Find allows you to revisit all locations and find all the hidden objects on those levels. There are over 2,100 objects to find!
-Match 3 Bonus Game allows you to play the Match 3 challenges separate from the bonus games at the end of each level.

II. Walkthrough
Level 1:
Locations: Beach House, Director’s Desk

Beach House (10)

Director’s Desk (10)

Match 3 (Bonus Level)
Once you’ve collected enough clues, you will be taken to a Match 3 game. The goal is simple: turn all the gray squares blue in order to win. Turn squares blue by matching three in a row. Move pieces by clicking on the one you’d like to move and then the piece next to it you’d like to swap it with: you can only move/switch pieces that are adjacent to each other. If you’re in an area that needs pieces swapped but doesn’t have a possible alignment of three, line up three pieces in other places to change the layout of objects on the board: eventually you’ll get what you need. There are also pieces with arrows on either or all sides of them: match three with one of these pieces to turn a whole row, in the directions the arrows are pointing, blue. It’s possible to match more than three at a time or to get combos.

Level 2:
