• Each hidden object screen has anywhere from 15 to 18 items to find. Once you find an item another will appear at the bottom of the screen.
• Any item that has a green background will go into your inventory once you find it.  These inventory items can be used in the scene to act upon another item which may have hidden objects inside of it.
• You can tell if an item needs an inventory to act upon it if it glows with a yellow outline and has a moving gear next to it when you mouse over it.
• Drag the correct inventory item to the glowing item and if it is correct the desired action will occur. If it is incorrect the item will move back into the inventory area located along the right side of the screen.
• NOTE – Once an item moves into your inventory it can be used at ANY location in the episode not just in the location it was found.
• Every time you find a hidden item you earn coins. The amount of coins varies per item.

• In each scene there are 3 to 5 coins hidden as an extra bonus. If you click on these coins they will move up to your ongoing total of coins at the top of the screen.
• Many items are tiny and difficult to see. There are several that blend well into the scene so first use the color of the item to try and find it but note that not all items are the same color in the scene as they are in the picture along the bottom of the screen.

• If you need to exit the game before you are finished it will save your progress where you left off.

Note that not all items will be listed in every picture right away as some items aren’t revealed until it has an inventory item act upon it.
• Once you find the item in the scene, simply left click on it with your mouse and it will either disappear and a new item will appear at the list on the bottom or it will move into inventory for future use.

• Note in this image that the hammer at the bottom is highlighted with a green background. Once you click on it, it will move into the area on the right side and you will be able to use it somewhere in that scene OR in another scene.

• Once an item moves into inventory you will have to decide where to use it and it can be used in any scene in the episode so you may need to toggle between scenes or wait until you find the proper area to use it. Once you see an area highlight with yellow and the gear is showing you can drag the item from inventory by holding down the left mouse button after you click on it and move it onto the yellow highlighted area. If you are indeed using the correct item, it will act upon it and you will see additional hidden objects revealed you may click on.
