General Tips

• Use the MENU button in the lower right to return to the Main Menu.
• The game autosaves automatically.
• This is a Hidden Object Adventure game. Some of the items that you collect during a Hidden Object Scene will be used in the scene or in a mini-game.
• Objects that you can use will be stored in your inventory tray. To open the tray, click on the briefcase in the lower right.

• All objects are generally appropriate to the scene and the right color and close to the right size.
• There is no timer.
• If you have too many incorrect clicks in a row the cursor freezes for a few seconds, but there is no other penalty.
• If an item appears in blue on the Find List, it is a task that you have to complete.
• If an item appears in gray on the Find List it is in another location, which may be a zoom scene or another room.
• You cannot collect an object until it appears on the Find List.
• Your inventory tray is inconsistent in what it shows you. Some items (like the FLASHLIGHT) will disappear for awhile and then reappear when you can use them. Other items will automatically combine. Some will be selected individually; others will be dragged in a group as a combo item.
• In general to use an inventory item, click on it in the inventory tray, drag it to where you want to use it in the scene, and then click again to use it.
• In many locations you will get more than one Find List to complete.
• The number of hints is unlimited, but you must wait for the hint meter to recharge each time.
• When you use a hint, an arrow will shoot at the item and a circle of light will be drawn around the general area. The item will not necessarily be in the exact center of the light circle.
• Several of the mini-games require you to look through your Inventory Tray to find objects you can use. You can drag unneeded objects to the side to get to the one you want.

Chapter 1: The Start of a New Case

• Collect the items on the Find List. When the first Find List is complete, you will get the second one. After you complete the second Find List, you will get a third one. We have marked nonKey items from the First List in yellow, nonKey items from the second list in cyan, and nonKey items from the third list in green. Key items are marked in orange.
• You cannot collect an item until it appears on the Find List.
• Objects that appear in gray on the Find List are inside the Safe.
• One of the PURPLE PUMPS is on the bookcase to the left of the window.
• In order to collect the full amount of money, you will have to get some from the main scene and some from the Safe.
• Use the SAFE KEY (1) to open the Safe.

• Once you have opened it, you will be able to zoom in to see another Hidden Object Scene inside the safe.
• Some of the objects in the Safe will be from the second Find List and some will be from the third Find List.
• The MASCARA is the red cylinder to the left of the RED WALLET.

• When you have completed collecting all the items on the third Find List, you will trigger a mini-game.

Disguise Mini-Game

• Click on the briefcase in the lower right to open the Inventory Tray.
• You will have to click and drag objects in the Inventory Tray to move them so you can find other objects underneath.
• The items you will need are:GOWN (part of the tutorial) PURSE FAN GOLD BUTTERFLY HAIR CLIP NECKLACE BRACELET

• The screenshot shows the items you will need marked on the photo.
• To use an item, drag it from the inventory tray to its approximate position in the scene.

• You will view a cutscene to end the chapter.

Chapter 2: A Mask for all Seasons

• Collect the items on the Find List. When the first Find List is complete, you will get the second one, which uses riddles. After you complete the second Find List, you will have to do a mini-game before you get a third one. We have marked items from the First List in yellow, items from the second list in cyan, and items from the third list in green. Key items are marked in orange.
• Objects that appear in gray on the Find List are in the zoom scene by the planter on the left...

• When you click on the planter, you will be able to zoom in to see another Hidden Object Scene.

• Once you have collected everything, you will use the TORN PAPER in a mini-game.

Torn Paper Mini-game

• The two pictures are identical, but they’ve have been torn differently.
• These are invitations to the Ball like the one you had in your safe.
• The pieces from the two pictures have been mixed up, so some of the pieces for the top picture are on the top and vice versa.
• Click on two pieces to trade their positions.
• Right-click on a piece to rotate it. You can go ahead and rotate pieces before you move them, which makes it easier to tell where they go.
• Pieces will fit perfectly when they are in the right spot, so if you have gaps between pieces, you’ve probably mixed some pieces from the top and bottom puzzle together.
• Pieces do NOT lock into place when set correctly.
• Once you have completed the puzzle, you can see that there is a phone number written on one of the invitations.

• After you complete the Torn Paper Mini-Game, Joy will make a phone call. Someone named Mr. Ingram is involved in the theft.
• Now you will get a new Find List based on riddles. You are going to “take a picture” at the spot identified from the riddle solution. That just means you have to click the cursor on that spot.
• Preposterous – preous = POSTER
• A Red Penguin = DOORMAN in the red tuxedo jacket.
• A Feral Guardian = CAT
• A Wavy Greeting = WELCOME BANNER
• Steps without Stairs = LADDER

• When you have completed taking the photos, you will talk to the Doorman. He says you need a mask.
• You will get the third Find List and trigger a mini-game.

Spook the Cat Mini-Game

• You must assemble an “air horn” from the items you have in your inventory. You will need:

• Put the STRAW on the left side of the FILM CANISTER.
• Put the BALLOON over the right side of the FILM CANISTER.
• Use the RUBBER BAND on the BALLOON.

 

• Now you have an AIR HORN in your inventory tray. Use it on the Cat so you will be able to collect the FEATHERS.
• Collect the other items on the third Find List (marked in green).
• You will have to go back to the Planter for the ROSES.

• Once the third Find List is complete, you are ready to make your mask. This will trigger a mini-game.

• A Pharaoh’s Tomb = PYRAMID
• As Light as Can Be = FEATHER
• A Mouth-less Speaker = WALL SPEAKER
• Stuffed but not Mounted = TEDDY BEAR

• Click on the Panel by the door to zoom in.

• Collect the SCREWDRIVER.
• After you have collected all of the items you can from the Find List, use the SCREWDRIVER to remove the 4 screws on the Kiosk. This will reveal the Flash Drive slot.
• Put the FLASH DRIVE in the Flash Drive Slot.

• This will trigger a mini-game.

Decrypt the Sequence Mini-game

• Swap two tiles at a time to create the pattern shown.

• Once you complete the mini-game you will get your third Find List. Click on the items listed. They are marked in green.

• Once you complete the mini-game, Joy will talk to her father. He is a painter. Some of his pictures are being sold on the black market—but they’re also still hanging in the museum. He wants Joy to investigate.

Jacques’ Lock Mini-Game

• You must use logic to determine the combination.
• Since the 1st number is half of the second number, the first number can’t be 0. Therefore the first number is 1 and the 4th number is 0.

• (1 + 0 + 9) = 2 + X, so the third number is 8.
