General Tips

This is a Hidden Object Adventure game.
There is no timer.
Throughout the game you are playing as Marley, the partner of Ebenezer Scrooge.

The LEDGER (A) lets you pause or return to the Main Menu.
Use the HINTS icon (B) for a Hint. Hints are unlimited, but take a few seconds to recharge.
The Time Indicator (C) shows whether you are in the past, present, or future.
The game autosaves automatically.
The Find List for the Hidden Object Scenes will be different for different players, but the Key Items will be the same for everyone.
If you make too many incorrect clicks in a row, the cursor will dance away momentarily.
Arrows show exits from the scene.
A Magnifying Glass is a place where you can zoom in, usually a Hidden Object Scene.
The Eyeglasses indicate an object you can examine to get a text clue. Text clues appear at the top of the screen.
The Hands cursor appears when you can collect an item in a main scene.
When you use a HINT in a Hidden Object Scene one item will be circled briefly.
When you use a HINT in a main scene, it will circle one “hot spot”. However, you may need to collect a Key Item elsewhere before you can use it.
If you use a HINT in a main scene and there is nothing more to do there at that time, you will get a text clue telling you to check other locations. You may need to come back later, though.
A white sparkle in a main scene shows an area you can investigate further.
Instructions for mini-games appear at the top of the screen.
Skip a mini-game by clicking the SKIP button once it has recharged.
