Gameplay and Tips

This is a hidden object adventure game. You will move from location to location solving hidden object hunts, mini-puzzles and picking up items to use in order to proceed in the game.
When you begin the game, you have to choose a difficulty level.
Casual mode has a cursor that changes when it’s over an active area, hints recharge faster, you can skip puzzles and there is no penalty for misclicking during hidden object scenes.
Expert mode does not have a changing cursor, you cannot skip penalties, hints take longer to recharge and there is a penalty for misclicking in hidden object scenes.
Tip:
The Main Menu button at the bottom left of the screen will bring you back to the main screen.
Closing a window – To close the zoom-in windows, click the Close button or anywhere outside of the window.
Mini-puzzles can be skipped in Casual mode only. Hint system – Hints are available in the bottom right-hand of the screen. Using a hint in the adventure part of the game will guide you as to where to go next.
You will sometimes have to assemble items you’ve collected. The pieces are numbered so you can often use that as a guide for what piece to place when.
There is no timer or point system.
Hidden object hunts provide a list of items to find. Click on items in the scene to cross them off the list. Once you have found all the hidden objects, an item is added to your inventory.
Hidden objects screenshots will only highlight the items (yellow circles).
