GENERAL TIPS

  • This is a Hidden Object Adventure Game. The mini-games are a variety of puzzles. You will follow the adventures of the Harker and Van Helsing families when they find themselves drawn into a battle against Dracula as he seeks revenge for what their grandparents did to him.
  • You may play in either timed or untimed mode, but you can only make this choice once when you set up your player profile from the Main Menu. If you want to try the other mode, you’ll have to start over with a new player profile.
  • You can skip any mini-game by clicking on the Skip button.
  • The only way to reset a puzzle to its starting position is to exit the game completely and then come back in.
  • Whenever you see the World Map, the area at the bottom left of the screen shows you a preview of the scene/puzzle you are about to enter. You must click on the START button in the lower right to begin.
  • The game frequently begins a Stage with a text explanation of tasks or setting. You must click once to clear the text and begin the Stage itself.
  • During the cut scenes you can tell which character is speaking by the name on the tab.

The Dracula FilesThe Dracula Files

  • Anything that starts with the World Map is counted as a Stage, even if it doesn’t give its stage number. So all of the puzzles that start from the World Map will count as Stages.
  • The games will autosave every time you exit, but only to the point of the last completed Stage. So if you leave in the middle of a Hidden Object scene, for example, you will have to start over again at the beginning of that scene when you return.
  • You can use the Options Menu to adjust the volume for the music and the special effects as you like.

General Tips for the Hidden Object Scenes

  • If you make too many incorrect clicks in a row, the scene will freeze for a few moments. If you are in timed mode you will also lose 20 seconds.
  • If you click on the name of most objects on the Find List, the silhouette will appear in the Mystic Mirror on the far left. This does not use up a hint.
  • The silhouette will be oriented the same way that the object is in the scene.

The Dracula FilesThe Dracula Files

  • If the silhouette for an object is unavailable, that means there is an inventory task that must be completed before it can be revealed.
  • If the Find List entry is for multiple items, like “3 Flowers,” then the Mystic Mirror will show one item until you find that one. Click on the entry again, and it will show you the silhouette of another of the multiples. This can be very helpful.
  • The All-Seeing Eye on the lower right will give you unlimited hints, but you have to wait for it to recharge each time.
  • Click on an item in the Find List, then click on the All Seeing Eye on the right to get a hint. The Eye will flash white very quickly over the object, so if you’re not looking you may miss it. This is particularly true in scenes with fog or other white areas on the screen.
  • If the All Seeing Eye tells you it can’t give you a hint for the object, that’s the same as not being able to see it in the mystic Mirror—there’s some inventory task that must be completed first.
  • Most objects are relevant to the scene and the right size and color, although there are some exceptions.
  • If the words “Hidden Area” at the bottom of the Find List are sparkling, it means there is a hidden area in the scene that you must find. This is usually a passage to another room.
  • The Hidden Area itself will sparkle when your cursor touches it, and the cursor will glow blue.
  • The cursor will also glow blue if it touches an area where you are supposed to use an inventory object.
  • The inventory tray is on both sides of the Find List.
  • Items in the inventory tray are generally used by dragging them to the part of the scene where they are needed. Some items just need to be clicked and then you click again where you want to use it in the scene. The game is somewhat inconsistent, so try dragging if clicking doesn’t work.

General Tips for the Find the Differences Puzzles

  • The right side represents the reflection of the left side in a mirror, so positions are flipped 180 degrees. You’re not looking for something that’s in a different position—you’re looking for things that are missing altogether.
  • You are looking for complete items, not partial differences. They will be present on the left side and absent on the right side.
  • The diamonds at the bottom of the screen are a counter. A diamond will light up each time you find an item, so the unlit diamonds tell you how many items you have left to find.

General Tips for Timed Mode

  • The time for each Hidden Object scene includes the time for any in-scene inventory puzzles, but not puzzles that go back to the World Map first.
  • The Hidden Area gets additional time, which is added to any time you have left from the original Hidden Object scene.
  • If you are having trouble finding one or two items in the main scene, you may want to go into the Hidden Area just to pick up the extra time. Use the BACK tab to go back to the main scene when you’ve completed the Hidden Area Find List.
  • If you make too many clicks in Timed Mode, the scene will freeze for a few moments AND you will lose 20 seconds off your timer.
  • If you fail to complete a scene in time, you will be kicked back to the World Map and have to start the scene over with a new Find List.
  • The timer is shown at the top right of the Find List in the Hidden Object scenes.

The Dracula FilesThe Dracula Files

  • The puzzles remain untimed.
  • If you start in timed mode and find you would prefer to play in untimed mode, you will have to set up a new player profile from the Main Menu and start the game from the first stage. You will get somewhat different Find Lists when you replay.

  • There are three sizes of stones in the stack.
  • There are four compartments in the floor. You must stack an equal weight of stones in each.

The Dracula FilesThe Dracula Files

  • The weight of the stones is recorded in the letters at the front: Small = 1 pound, Medium = 3 pounds, Large = 6.
  • The total weight of all the stones added together is 40, so you must put stones that add up to a weight of 10 in each of the four compartments.

World Map

  • Click on Start to begin the puzzle.

The Dracula FilesThe Dracula Files

  • This is a Find the Differences puzzle.

  • There are no hints available for this part of the game, but you can use the SKIP if you like.

  • There are a couple of white items against the white curtains on the left that would not normally be white in real life, like a white golf club.

World Map

  • Click on Start to begin the puzzle.

The Dracula FilesThe Dracula Files

  • The idea here is that the portrait on the far right has been slashed to pieces, and the pieces have flown all over the wall and stuck there. So they are overlaid on the wall or the other portrait.

World Map

  • Click on Start to begin the puzzle.

The Dracula FilesThe Dracula Files

  • This is a Find the Differences puzzle.
  • Remember that the right side represents the reflection of the left side in a mirror, so positions are flipped 180 degrees. You’re not looking for something that’s in a different position—you’re looking for things that are missing altogether.
  • You are looking for complete items, not partial differences. They will be present on the left side and absent on the right side.
  • There are no hints available for this part of the game, but you can use the SKIP if you like.
  • Since you are looking for vampires, the only things you have to check are people and bats. However, some of the bats are regular bats, not vampires, so you’re looking for the ones that are present in the left scene and absent in the right.
  • The dancers in the back are a little confusing, because what happens is that there is a vampire on the left who is blocking your view of some mortals. When the vampire is absent on the right side, suddenly you see people who didn’t seem to be there on the left. However, they really are on both sides, it’s just that your view is blocked on the left.
  • Look carefully at the musician in the wagon. There is a man behind him who is hard to see on either side. Is he present on both sides?
  • The diamonds at the bottom of the screen are a counter. A diamond will light up each time you find an item, so the unlit diamonds tell you how many items you have left to find.

  • Collect the items on the Find List.
  • The Compass is a navigational compass on the floor to the left of the bedpost.
  • Pick up the large Torch from the floor under the chair. Light it on the candles as shown in the screenshot, then use it to burn the vines on the door.
