GENERAL TIPS

• This is a Hidden Object Adventure game.
• There is no timer.
• There are several kinds of mini-games. Mini-games cannot be skipped, but they don’t have timers.
• Items are relevant to the scene.
• There are two modes, Novice and Expert. In Novice one of the items you will find is a Find List showing the names of the other items.

• Even in Expert mode the game will give you plenty of clues, because all objects are essential to the story and many are Key Items which need to be used in the scene.
• The Task List in the lower right will tell you how many tasks you have to complete in the scene, and suggest which tasks you should do next.

• You do not need to do the tasks in the exact order that they appear on the Task List.
• You can use the options menu to adjust the volume for the music and the special effects as you like.
• Moxxie works for a tabloid magazine. When she receives a new assignment, she will automatically travel to a new location. In most locations you will be able to go back and forth between two rooms at a time.
• You will not be able to go back to previous locations unless the story directs you there.
• The game auto-saves every time you exit.

In-game Hint System

• There are many different sources for hints in the game.
• The most obvious is the ? button. When you click on this, it will outline an important object in the scene.
• You get unlimited hints; you just have to wait for the ? button in the lower left corner to refresh.
• Just as important and often more helpful is Moxxie’s dialogue. She will often talk to herself or other characters and give you major clues as to what to do next.
• Other characters may also make comments about what they think Moxxie should do. All of these are true. For this reason, it is important to listen to all of the dialogue in the game.
• The Task List in the lower right is also an important source of clues about what to do next.
• The cursor will blink with multiple colors when it is in a position where you can use an object from your inventory.
• The cursor does not change to indicate an object you can pick up, so you do just have to try clicking everything. However, all objects are logical, and Moxxie’s dialogue is usually a clue as to what you’re looking for.
• One false clue—if you are trying to use an object from your inventory but you have not gotten the cursor into the EXACT position where it is blinking, Moxxie may say “That won’t work!” or “That’s the wrong idea.” In fact, it’s the right idea; you’re just off position by a few pixels. So make sure you have the cursor blinking before you click to use an object from inventory.
• In a few cases there will be an item you should pick up, but Moxxie has something important to tell you about it first. So you will first get a dialogue bubble, and then have to click a second time to actually pick up the item.
• The cursor will change to a magnifying glass anywhere you can click to zoom in, and a few places where you can click to open a drawer or curtain.
• Many items will automatically combine in your inventory. For example, a rope may tie itself to a magnet, a clue that you need to drop the magnet down into something to use it.
• There are Cut Scenes between chapters. These will give you clues to the overall story, but not to individual locations.

• Click on the ground near his feet to start a mini-game.

• There are good matches (red ends) and burnt-out matches (black ends) on the ground. The arrangement is random.
• You need to use the claw to pick up 7 good matches.

• Now you have matches, but no way to use them, because you have nothing to strike them on.
• Click on the bushes to the right of the caretaker to zoom in.

• Click on the yellow Key that is hanging on the right side of the highest small shelf. It will fall down into the crack in the floor.
• Use the Magnet from your inventory to get the Key out of the crack.

• Go back in the shed.

• Now that we have all 4 stones we can finally unlock the Hatch.
• Click on the panel with the 4 slots to start a sequence mini-game.

• Each phrase is the previous phrase plus one or two more stones.
• Solution:Green-Yellow-Green
  Green-Yellow-Green-Purple
  Green-Yellow-Green-Purple-Yellow
  Green-Yellow-Green-Purple-Yellow-Red
  Green-Yellow-Green-Purple-Yellow-Red-Green-Purple
• The Hatch will unlock.

• There is a Battery in the spiderweb on the left side of the Hatch. Take it.
• The Battery will automatically combine with the Flashlight in your inventory, so now you have a working Flashlight.
• Click on the ladder built into the Hatch to go down.

• This will trigger a mini-game which is a series of 3 tracings.
• For each one, click the cursor once to change it to a face.
• Now just trace the line, being careful not to touch the edges.
• There is no timer.
• If you touch the edge, you will have to start over.

• Once you are down the Hatch, the Flashlight will come on automatically and light a small area around your cursor.
• We have lightened the screenshots for this part of the game so you can see the marked objects more clearly. Your screen will be darker, but the objects will be pretty easy to find once you know where they are.

• Click on the Trashcan on the far left to zoom in.
• Use the Rag to pick up the Corkscrew inside the Trashcan.
• Use the Corkscrew on the Cork in the Barrel.

• Put the Hose in the Barrel. The other end will automatically go into the Grate. This will raise the level of the water there.
• Now use the Harpoon to fish out the Keys.

• You have the Keys—where do they go?
• Click on the Lock Panel on the right wall near the gate.
• This will zoom in so you can see there is a lock with 3 symbols above it.
• Put the Keys in the lock. The Keys will separate and line up below the lock.
• Now you need to use 3 of the individual Keys in the correct order to open the gate.
• You can see the symbols for two of the Keys above the lock. The third one is scratched away.
• You can find it by trial and error. The correct third Key is the very last one on the far right with an X on it.
• Use the 3 Keys in the correct order to open the gate. (See screenshot.)

• Take the Stone Apple from the right side of the gate.
• Put it in the slot in the archway just to the left of the gate. Symbols will appear there.

• When the paper burns, symbols appear in the smoke that match the symbols above the archway to the left of the gate.
