Tips are limited. You get
one or two, at best, per location. So, use them wisely.
In most cases, hold out to
the last possible moment before using the Tip feature. The last item or
two are usually the hardest to locate.
In some cases, a needed
item may be hidden behind another on the list. So, don't get hung up
trying to locate one item...unless it's the last one.
Quickly identify all the
obvious objects. Then, focus on locating the more obscure ones.
Learn to see both the
forest and the trees. When objects elude you, try to view the scene both
as whole, as well as individual parts. This is especially helpful with
objects that are silhouettes as opposed to actual items.
Don't be too literal when
searching for an object. An elephant could be a statue, a depiction in a
painting or photo, a shadow on the wall or an animal outside a window.
When looking for a list of
items, try to quickly "memorize" as many of the objects on the
list as you can. It's easier to find them more quickly if you're looking
for multiple items rather than one at a time.
Objects are often hidden
among those of similar color or shape. For instance, straight objects
like pencils, rulers and candles are often hidden over or alongside of
level surfaces like door frames, window sills and book shelves. A flower
may be hidden in the design of a fabric pattern or tooling on a piece of
furniture.
If time's almost up, you're
out of Tips and you still haven't found the last object or two, pause
the game by hitting the Esc key. Though darkened a bit, most of the
screen is still visible. You may just spot that last item if you look
carefully while "off the clock."
