This will scan this page for the appearance of that word.

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.
• There are three difficulty settings.
• Casual mode allows the Hint and Skip puzzles meters to fill faster and areas of interest are indicated by sparkles.
• Advanced mode has a longer filling Hint and Skip meters and there are no sparkles.
• Hardcore mode has no Hint or Skip meters and there are no sparkles.
• Move your cursor over every aspect of a scene, especially if you are playing in Advanced or Hardcore mode. It’s the only way to find everything. A lot of games of this genre indicate hidden object scenes with sparkles, regardless of the difficulty setting but this game does not. Keep this in mind as you will have to replay hidden object scenes.
• The Menu button at the bottom left of the screen will bring you back to the main screen.
• Items collected throughout the game go into your inventory, located at the bottom of your screen.
• Closing a window – To close the zoom-in windows, click anywhere outside of the window. Tip: If you can zoom in on the area again, you likely haven’t found everything you needed to find.
• Mini-puzzles can be skipped once the Skip button fills if you are playing in Casual or Advanced mode.
• Hint system – Hints are available in the bottom right-hand of the screen if you are playing in Casual or Advanced mode.
• Hints used in the hidden object scenes will point out an object to be found.
• Hints used during the adventure mode will indicate something that can be done within a scene will point you in the direction you should go.
• Hidden object hunts provide either a list of items to find. Click on items in the scene to cross them off the list. Items listed in red require an action to be found (i.e., open a drawer, lift a blanket, etc.). Once you have found all the hidden objects, an item is added to your inventory.
• Hidden object scenes are different each time you play. Hidden objects screenshots will only highlight (yellow circles) the items added to your inventory and actions needed to find items (white circles).
