Walkthrough Tips

This guide is based on the Collector’s Edition of the game. Some scenes and content are not available in the standard edition.
The main purpose of playing a hidden object game is to find the objects in a scene. For this reason, only inventory items are highlighted.

CAPITALIZED inventory items are meant to make it easier to find where this guide may differ from your own play. Inventory items are highlighted in blue with a white border in the screenshots.
If you don’t have an item referenced in this guide, click and hold the “Ctrl” key and then press the “F” key. This opens a Find area in your web browser. Type in the name of the object as it appears in this guide to find where else it’s referenced.
To minimize back and forth moves, most available inventory items in a scene are picked up when first encountered.
