General
hints and tips:
Little Shop of Treasures is all about a fast eye and patience. On every
level there are items that are hidden sometimes in plain sight, sometimes
not. It's difficult to give tips on how to find items, but here is what I
found playing through this game.
A lot of the time, items will
be of a solid color. An example would be the red coffee cup in the Diner
level. These items can be hidden in areas that are of the same color. In
this case, the red coffee cup is hidden inside the red wall to the right of
the jukebox. It can be hard to see.
There are twelve stages in the
game. You will play through each one several times. Items will be repeated
sometimes, so is you have a good memory, try and make note of everything you
see in a stage. Chances are you'll be coming back to it later.
Look for the question marks.
There are always some on every level. Try and use your hints less then or
equal to the amount of marks you find. That way, you'll never run out.
I like to hold off on using
hints until there is only one minutes left in the stage. This keeps you from
using too many of them, and it also makes sure the hints are used on the
more difficult to find items. The difficult ones tend to hang around until
the end.
When you use a hint, note the
colors of each item. Sometimes it's easier to find an item if you look for
the specific color instead of the item itself.
Stages
The following is a list of each
of the twelve stages in Little Shop of Treasures. Each one will have a
description of the stage, some hints, and the locations of, what are in my
opinion, the five most difficult to find items of each level. If you do not
wish to have these locations spoiled, read no further. You've been warned!
Diner
The diner is an easy stage. A lot of the items tend to be where you would
think they would be in a diner. Some are cleverly hidden. Keep mental note
of every coffee mug you find, those tend to pop up a lot. There are five in
the stage.
Red Coffee mug: Red wall to
the right of the Jukebox
Mushroom: On top of the pie
in the poster just behind the blender.
Waffle: Under the same pie
as above.
Potato Tots: on top of the
bowl of Chili on the right side of the counter
Ice Cream Scoop: Right in
front of the Coffee pitchers behind the counter
Garden Shop
The garden shop is a particularly difficult level in my opinion. Many of the
items look alike and have similar colors. Best way to get good at this level
is to try it over and over to get used to where everything is. Also remember
there is a difference between a cricket and a grasshopper. They both appear
in this level.
Poinsettia: It's the red
flower in the upper right hand corner.
Daisy: Up in the picture
above the tools on the left half of the screen.
Brass Spigot: Just
underneath the edge of the countertop
Dragonfly: There are
several, but one on top of the cash register is especially difficult
Flypaper: In front of the
wind chime next to the center column
Magic Shop
This is a pretty easy level. Just keep an eye on every card you see. There
are queens, kings, and jacks hidden everywhere.
Matchstick: At the owl's
feet on the left side.
Spying eye: on the right
side on the top of the purple box.
Fish: It's purple and
blends in with the purple tablecloth.
Doves: Two are easy to find
on the left and right sides, but one is actually hidden in the store
sign on top too
Monkey: he is peaking out
from behind the two boxes on the bottom left side.
Antique Store
This is a scary looking level, but most of the things are fairly easy to
find.
Rock Hammer: In the upper
left hand corner next to the trombone
Eskimo: Sitting in a pot to
the left of the dog
Argyle Socks: Laying on the
ground next to the dog's head
Bones: The skull and
crossbones sign in the upper right corner
Black bell: hanging from
the ceiling at the top center
Farmers market
I like this level because there aren't too many difficult items to find.
Keep an eye on the honey bears you find, there are six in total.
Tin can: In the scarecrow's
hand
Spare Tire: Below the
center of the tractor
Eggplant: Right above the
corn husk dolls to the right of the Tossed Cookies sign
Milk Can: Inside the barn
next to the tractor and above the pumpkins
Garlic press: Along the
edge of the car directly above the front wheel
Sporting goods
A lot of people have trouble with this level for some reason. One thing to
keep in mind is the bear in the center of the room. He has a lot of things
on him and around him. Make note of it all.
Canoe: It's small and
inside the poster on the back wall above the tent.
Swiss Army Knife: In the
middle of the fishing lure right below the Sporting Goods sign.
Football: I don't know why
but everyone I have talked to has had a lot of trouble finding the
football. It's in the bear's hand.
Propeller: On the back of
the hang-glider in the center of the room.
Hunting bow: In the corner
triangle below the moose head.
Music store
There are a lot of good jokes in this level if you can catch them. A lot of
the difficulty in this level is just knowing what some objects are called.
Save your hints for items whose name you don't recognize.
Harp: On the side of the
wooden box in the center
Alpenhorn: Below the CD
rack and behind the wooden box in the center
Earphones: Around Mozart's
neck on the left side
Pan Flute: On the trumpet
in the center
Cowbell: One of the
cowbells is difficult to recognize. It's hanging in front of the CD rack
and has flowers on it. You can always use more...
Garage Sale
This level can be tricky. There are a lot of objects that are hidden inside
similar colors. Use the hints wisely.
Fllipper: On the back
fender of the truck
Spoon: Just below the
handlebars on the bike
Wood Horse: In the car
poster up above the blue shelves
Wrench: There are a few
wrenchs, but most people have a hard time seeing the one in the cartoon
man's hand on the back wall on the left side.
Nametag: The same man as
above has the nametag on him
General Store
Pretty much everything in this level is on the shelves. There are many
things here that have multiples, which make the level fairly easy. Just make
mental notes of everything you see.
Wooden Comb: Way in the
upper right corner
Pocket watch: The upper
right corner in the middle of the rotary telephone dial
Striped Feather: Up in the
right corner along the edge of the basket
Spoon: Next to the handle
of the white vase on the left side
Rock Hammer: In the center
of the screen at the very top
Party Supply
This is a fun level to explore. It's pretty straightforward, except a lot of
the items you need to find are just face drawings. Like the monkey balloon
or zebra. You'll find them all over.
Red Grad Cap: On the
Donkey's head
Banana Split: near the
middle next to the two American hats
Wedding bells: At the very
top in the center
Hot Dog: Up in the left
hand corner
Champaign cork: On the left
side in front of the cake and on top of the yellow roll
Toy store
This is a particularly difficult level. A lot of things blend in with each
other and it makes it difficult to pick certain things out. Just be sure to
take your time and be patient. It may take a few tries to get everything.
Maraca: On the left wall in
the middle next to the cat and top
Funny teeth: There are two,
the more difficult is on the front of the fire truck on the right side.
Boomerang: Above the poster
between the two shelves. It's blue.
Pinwheel: Just to the right
of the Toy Store sign at the top
Viking Helmet: Next to the
sailboat, just to the right of the poster between the shelves in the
middle
Your Shop
This level will change often. There are a lot of big things that appear that
aren't items you can pick. These just distract you. There are some very
cleverly hidden items in this one. Also, some of the items appear in more
then one place, so keep your eyes peeled.
Bat: Not a baseball bat
like the other levels, it's hidden in the top left corner under the
"I" in "Imports"
Human Skull: On the top of
the rug in the top center of the screen
Jade Elephant: Sometimes he
is on the shelf on the right side, but it's more difficult to see him
when he is hidden in the plant in the very center.
Coins: The coins are
hidden, where else, but the cash register!
Shell: Underneath the green
statue of a woman near the center
