a:1:i:0;a:2:s:13:”section_title”;s:22:”The Clockwork Man Tips”;s:12:”section_body”;s:30842:”Check out our strategy guide for The Clockwork Man. This walkthrough contains videos and screenshots for all the puzzles in the game.

GAME OVERVIEW

• The Clockwork Man is a timer-free Interactive Hidden Object Game. The game consists of a prologue and 3 chapters.
• Each chapter has a variety of hidden objects scenes, and puzzles to solve. The game features an interesting scroll-and-zoom view for certain scenes that most people will enjoy.
• When you complete the game you will be able to access the "Free Play" section from the main menu. Free Play allows you to play scenes randomly.

ADVENTURE SCENES/PUZZLE SCENES

• Every so often you will encounter some scenes in which you need to pick up inventory items. Those items will be used to help you solve some puzzles.
• The inventory items can be combined with each other directly from the section in which they are stored.
• When you hover over an item that needs to be picked up, your hand cursor will make an opening and closing motion.
• When you hover your mouse over an item and you see some small golden gears appear, it means that you can use an item from inventory in that spot.
• To combine items from inventory, simply drag one item over another. If they are meant to be together, they will automatically merge and will go back as a new item in the inventory section.
• You can also click on an item that has the golden gears over it to perform an action. For example, if you need to close or open a lid, simply click on it.

SPROCKET GADGETS/HINTS

• This game has 4 different types of hints that you can use to help you locate items. Each hint has a different way of showing you what an item looks like.
• If you want to use a hint you have to make sure that Sprocket the Robot has enough energy for the hint you want to use. The energy levels are represented by the filled blue dots next to Sprocket.  
• Once you use the energy units, you have to wait for them to fill back up. You can use the energy units even if all the blue dots are not filled.
• If he has a lot of blue dots that means that you can afford to get a detailed hint instead of a vague one.
• To use a hint click on the picture of Sprocket that is in the lower left side of the scene and your hint options will scroll out.
• Next to each type of hint, it will show you how much energy units will be needed to activate that hint.
• Here are the different types of hints and the amount of energy they consume.

OBJECT DATABASE – 1 ENERGY UNIT

• This hint only consumes 1 energy unit. When you click on it, it shows you a sketch of the item that you need to look for. Choose the item that you want a picture of from your item list on the right.
• This can be somewhat helpful because at least it shows you what the item looks like. The downside is that it does not show you the color of the item which can make things difficult to find in a crowded scene.

BASIC OBJECT LOCATOR – 2 ENERGY UNITS

• When you use this hint, it will show you where a random item from your list is. The item that you need to click on will be inside of the glassy area of the locator.
• Even though it gives you a general area to look for, it is pretty hard not to find an item using this system.
• It’s a good idea to use this locator often since it doesn’t consume too much energy.

SPECIFIC OBJECT LOCATOR – 3 ENERGY UNITS

• This locator is very similar to the Basic Object Locator. The main difference is that the glassy area that identifies an object is much smaller which makes it more precise. You can also pick and choose which item from the list you would like to look at.
• Click on this locator and the scene will darken and the items on the list will light up. Click on the item that you would like to see and the locator will take you right to it.
• This is a nice tool since it allows you to look for the items that you want instead of a random item chosen for you.

METAL DETECTOR – 5 ENERGY UNITS

• This is a great tool but it uses a lot of energy units at once. When you use it, it will show you where all the metal objects are located in one sitting.
• This is a great tool to use when you have a scene in which you need to find a lot of metal objects such as nuts, bolts and gears.
• The Metal Detector will highlight in light blue, all the metal objects on your list. The objects will start to shake as well.
• You have to be fast because its effects will only last a short while.

GENERAL TIPS

• There is no penalty for random clicking in this game. You can be as click-happy as you want.
• In certain areas of the game, you will be able to toggle between locations by clicking on the map that is at the bottom of the scene.
• If you want to know your progress in the game, all you have to do is look at Grandpa’s list at the bottom left side of the page. It will tell you how many more items are needed for each category. The fuller the list is, the closer you are to finishing the game.
• The game has some nice scrolling and zooming features that are well explained in the menu section of the game. The help menu shows you all the different options you can use.
• When looking for items in the scrolling scenes, make sure that you move around the area carefully. Some items may not be visible right away and can only be seen once some large items move out of the way.

WALKTHROUGH

• The following section contains a walkthrough for the game. It contains screenshots, videos and step-by-step instructions on how to solve the puzzles in the game.
• It also shows you screenshots of scenes that ask for multiples of the same items. Like 9 gears or 12 Incan Statuettes etc. Everyone may not have the same items on their list the first time through but they may encounter it once they play the game over.

• Each stone has a different amount of weight to it. The obsidian skull weighs the most.
• As you place a stone on the squares on the ground you will notice that as a statue rises, it has dots at the bottom of it. Those dots are the clues that you need for the correct placement.

• Choose any 2 symbols and place them in the area that surrounds the large white circle that is on the top LEFT side FIRST. You cannot start matching items in the white circle that is on the top right side because the game will not recognize the match.
• Use the arrows at the bottom of the page to turn the 2 large circles, clockwise or counter-clockwise. The button at the bottom of the puzzle allows you to switch up the ring you want to control.
• Once you’ve made a successful match on the left side, you need to find the same 2 symbols and match them up on the large white circle that is on the RIGHT.
• Please look at the video provided so you can look at the way the puzzle needs to be solved.
• Once all the symbols have been matched up, you will be taken to the final scene.
