General Tips

• Hidden Mysteries: Salem Secrets is a Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game.
• There is no timer.

• The “JOURNAL” (A) has the notes your character makes in the adventure. It will blink if new information has been added.
• The “MENU” icon (B) returns you to the Main Menu so you can exit the game.
• Click on the “INVENTORY” tab (C) to open or close your Inventory Tray.
• The “TASKS” list (D) is a list of the current tasks you are working on. From this screen you can also access the Journal or Map.
• The “MAP” icon (E) opens the Map, showing the locations you have visited in the game.
• The game saves automatically.
• The Find List for the Hidden Object Scenes will be different for different players, but the Important Items will be the same for everyone.
• There is no incorrect click penalty.
• Arrows show exits from the scene.
• A Magnifying Glass denotes a place where you can zoom in, usually a Hidden Object Scene. It can also be a place where you get a text clue.
• Text clues appear at the top of the screen when you click on certain items.
• A Hand Cursor denotes an item that you can pick up.
• The Gears cursor appears when clicking on that item causes it to move in the scene. It does not mean an inventory item should be used there.
• If you hold an inventory item over a location and it pulsates, click to use it there.
• If you right-click in any main scene, the hot spots in that scene will be revealed. This includes items to collect, zoom locations, and exits.
• When your Task List is open, you will see a list of Tasks to be completed. If you click on the ? next to any task, you will get a hint about that task.
• Your Journal has information you have collected during your investigations. Look there for codes and recipes.
• If you are in a Hidden Object scene, click on the “HINT” button in the lower right and one of the items from the list will be circled briefly. It takes a few seconds for the hints to recharge each time.
• Tutorial Tips will pop up from time to time. You can turn these on or off on the Options on the Main Menu.
• The Map fills in as you go through the game. A sparkle on the Map indicates a Hidden Object scene you have not completed yet.
• You may also see a white sparkle in a main scene. This indicates an area you can investigate further.
• The red dot on the Map shows your current position.
• Since this is a nonlinear game, players can do things in different order. It is important that you examine everything you can, since doing something in one part of town may unlock an activity elsewhere.
• If you’re not sure what to do next, check the “TASKS” list and the “MAP” to get ideas. Right-click to reveal hot spots in individual scenes.
• The red question mark in the upper left corner has the instructions for the mini-game.
• You can skip a mini-game by clicking the Skip Button once it has recharged.

• Use the RED WITCH DISC and the GREEN WITCH DISC on the door to trigger a puzzle.

• The puzzle is made from color disks that are lying on top of each other.
• Each color disk has two solid squares of its color in each of the 3 rows. The rest of its squares are clear.
• When you click on the arrow buttons you are rotating the color disk that matches that color.
• The tiny dots in the outermost section show which color disks have solid squares in that column.
• To complete the puzzle you must rotate the disks so that there is only one dot in each section.
• There are many possible solutions.
• This solution features the following sequence in the outermost ring: Purple, Pink, Green, Yellow, Blue, Green, Purple, Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink, Red.
• To use this solution, rotate each color one at a time until you have this sequence.
• This will fill in all the squares and complete the pattern.
• The door will open.
• Go down another level.

• Zoom in on the door on the right (A).
• Use the SKELETON SHAFT on the door to trigger another puzzle.
