Game tips

I thought the online version of this game was excellent - it's like a complete little game in itself, but gives you plenty of stuff to do - very satisfying all round.

OK - so it's a hidden object game, and it's not too difficult finding what you need. There's a very useful scanner, which will show you the shape of various items, making it easier to find them if you get stuck. The scanner stops working for a while if you mistakenly click too often.

Plus you get hints - yippee! And you can add to your store of hints by clicking on any little lightening bolts you see dotted around the scenes.

Sometimes you'll need to use a tool that you've collected to find an item. These items appear in blue on the list. Pick up a tool, and move your cursor around until it turns red. That means you've found the spot - even if you've got the wrong tool, you can try others there.

Don't know how to get out of a room? Sometimes you have to use a tool to get the door open. At other times, a little figure of a walking man appears to show you where to click on the screen to exit.
