General Tips

From the main menu you can play the game, adjust options, or see the credits and other games from this developer.
In the options menu you can adjust the sound and music volume, set the cursor type, full screen mode and widescreen mode.
At the bottom of the screen you can change the current player or make a new player.
When you start a new game you must choose casual mode or advanced mode.
Casual mode has a tutorial, more sparkles and the hint/skip gauge recharges faster.
There are 4 types of cursors in the game.
The first cursor lets you inspect an area. This usually gives you a closer view or enters a Hidden Object Scene (I).
The second cursor is a gear. It tells you that you can click on something to use it, or you can use an inventory item on it (II).
The third cursor is the movement cursor (III).
The last cursor is the hand cursor. It tells you when you can take an inventory item (IV).
The hidden objects in this game are randomized.
Hidden objects written in green require doing something in the scene to unlock them. These items are never random.
You can skip the mini-games after the skip button is full.
Click 'Game Info' at the bottom right corner of the screen to find out more about any mini-game and the rules that you need to follow to beat it.

After finishing the Hidden Object Scene, inspect the light again.
Now you can use the GLOVE to take the LIGHT BULB.
Return inside the airport building and use the LIGHT BULB on the lamp.
You can now see the locker but you still need a key to open it.
Enter the Hidden Object Scene to the right of the locker.
Collect all of the hidden objects in the scene and you will receive a SKULL in your inventory.

Go to the top of the building and smash the piggy bank with the HAMMER.
Collect the COIN.
Exit the building and go across the air strip to the hanger.
Use the skull on the strange lock on the door.
A puzzle will appear behind the lock, click the puzzle to start it.
The object of this puzzle is to get the 4 pieces on the sides away from the pins.
Once all the pins are not being pressed in by any pieces, you will have solved the puzzle.
When you click a puzzle it will slide lengthwise until it hits another piece or the wall. You can slide it back to the original position by clicking again.
Follow the steps in the screenshot to complete the puzzle.
In each step click the highlighted pieces once. Make sure that the piece is able to slide before you click it, for some pieces the order doesn't matter.
See the completed state in part 6 of the screenshot.
After you are finished you will enter the hangar.

There is a computer to the right (O) that can read a floppy disk.
Click on the altar with the glowing crystal (N). You do not have the code that you need for this area yet.

Exit the hanger and enter the Hidden Object Scene on the right.
Collect all of the hidden objects in the scene and you will receive a FLOPPY DISK in your inventory.
Go back inside the hangar.
Use the FLOPPY DISK on the computer drive.
Click on the paper that is printed out. It will show you the code that you need: 739.
Go to the altar and enter the code.
Click on the disc that pops up to start the next puzzle.

The goal in this puzzle is to switch the places of the brown squares and the blue squares.
For the solution the two brown squares with the eyes on them will be at the bottom and the two blue squares will be at the top.
The squares can only move like a knight does in a game of chess, in an “L” shape.
The pieces can move either one space horizontally and then two spaces vertically – or the opposite. The game will highlight what moves are possible.
You cannot directly switch the pieces, because only one piece can be in any space at one time.
Because the board is symmetrical, whenever you move a piece, move the piece on the opposite corner in the same exact fashion. This way you only have to solve half of the puzzle and the other half will solve itself.
See the screenshot for a detailed example of how to simply finish the puzzle. Start from the top left corner and read across and down the rows.
The final answer is in the bottom right corner of the screenshot.

Return to the airport and go inside the building.

Climb the ladder.

Click on the radar dish (P) and solve a quick wire puzzle.
The wires on the left each have a color, but they fade away as they go towards the right side.
Match the colors of the wires on the right side to the wires on the left side.
To match the wire, first click one wire end and then another. If they are correct a green light will flash, if they are incorrect a red light will flash.
Follow the screenshot for the correct answer.
The top wire is red, then purple, green, light blue, blue, yellow and orange.
Most of the wires are pointing in the direction they belong.
Collect the last COIN circled in red.

Climb down the ladder and enter the building.

The LOCKER KEY will be added to inventory.
