GENERAL TIPS
- This is a Hidden Object Game with a variety of different mini-games.
- The main character’s name is Sindbad, not Sinbad.
- The Hidden Object scenes are of several different types. You may get a Find List with the name of the objects, pictures of the objects where you have to find the pieces of them, plain silhouettes, or riddles.
- Some Hidden Object scenes are location searches rather than object searches. You must identify what part of the scene matches a small thumbnail picture on the Find List. When you click in that spot, you will be awarded an object, even though you never see that object in the scene itself.
- There is no timer.
- The game autosaves automatically.
- Whenever you leave in the middle of a Hidden Object scene, you will come back to that exact point when you return, a nice feature.
- The game offers a fancy cursor. If you’d prefer to use your regular cursor, you can turn off the fancy cursor on the OPTIONS menu.
- Whenever you are dragging something into a scene, click when you have the tip of the cursor positioned where you want the object to go. Don’t worry about the image of the object itself, which may be an inch or more away from the end of the cursor. (This tip will make sense once you start playing the game. If you’re trying to put something into the scene but it just won’t “stick” when you click it, you’re probably trying to position the object itself, rather than paying attention to the tip of the cursor.)
- There is a Magic Amulet in the lower right corner. When you click on it, one of the items in the scene (or one of the locations for a location search) will be marked with a colored ring.
- You get an unlimited number of hints, but you have to wait for the Amulet to recharge each time.
- There are bonus insects in most of the scenes. When you collect the insects and place them in the holding jars on the Bridge, you power up the Amulet so that it will recharge faster. The more insects you collect, the less time you have to wait between hints.
- Different scenes have different numbers of optional insects. If you don’t find the insect the first time you visit the location, it will still be there if you come back. You will visit most locations 2 or 3 times.
- The game also provides free sparkle hints in some scenes.
- There are no hints for the mini-games, but you can skip them at any time.
- Some of the bonus insects are awarded for successful completion of the mini-games, so if you skip the mini-games, you can’t collect as many insects. There is no other penalty for skipping a mini-game.
- You may return to the Bridge anytime you see the BRIDGE button in the upper left. If the Map is active, you won’t be able to drag insects across it, but you can click on an insect, then drag it around the edge of the screen and put it in its jar. Then just click on the PLAY button in the lower right of the Bridge scene to return to the location you just left.
- Note that the game does not allow you to return to the Bridge after the credits, so you will not be able to place your final set of insects in jars unless you go to the Bridge before you complete all the actions at the end of the game.
- Fun Tip: when you’re on the Ship’s Bridge, watch Chalida’s face closely.
AT SEA: the Sunken Ship (SPOILERS BEGIN HERE)
- For the first task, you just have to search the area around the Sunken Ship to find the objects shown in the picture tiles.
- Now find all the parts of the three objects shown.
The Bridge
- You will be rescued by Chalida and taken to the Bridge. Place the 3 objects you just collected into the scene as shown. The place for the amulet is in the lower right.
The Shiphold
- Collect the objects named on the Find List.
The Bridge
- Now place the insects into the jars with a matching silhouette. Chalida will explain that every insect you collect “increases the Amulet’s power.” In practical terms, that means the Amulet will recharge more quickly.
- From now on, the insects will not be part of the regular Find List. Just click on any insect you see in any scene. One snail will also count as an insect.
The Shiphold
- Collect the tiny fragments of the Map that are visible in the scene. The picture tiles in the Find List show you where to look, but you can also see the pieces if you just look at the main scene.
Map Mini-game
- This is a jigsaw puzzle. The pieces do not rotate.
- The screenshot shows the finished map.
FISH ISLAND: the Peninsula
- The first scene on the Peninsula is a standard Hidden Object scene. Collect the items on the Find List.
- The “message” is a scroll in a bottle.
- There are also 3 optional insects in the scene (marked in orange).
Jagged Rocks
- Collect the items named on the Find List.
- The “Life Saver” is a life preserver ring.
- One of the skulls is part of a pirate flag.
- One of the swords is part of the same pirate flag, in place of the usual crossbone on that side.
- Optional insects are marked in orange.
- The next task is a location search. You are collecting jewel fragments, but you will not see them in the scene. Instead, you have to click on the locations that exactly match the picture tiles in the Find List.
- Each time you click on the location that exactly matches one of the picture titles, you will be awarded a jewel fragment.
Fish Island Peninsula
- Return to the Peninsula.
- This is a location search. You are collecting jewel fragments, but you will not see them in the scene. Instead, you have to click on the locations that exactly match the picture tiles in the Find List.
- Each time you click on the location that exactly matches one of the picture titles, you will be awarded a jewel fragment.
- Now you have the pieces for all four Sun Gems. You need to place each one into the matching “pedestal” in the picture.
- When you click on each pedestal, it will glow with a faint light that is the color of the gem you should use there.
- Once the Sun Gems are placed correctly, the Torch will appear. Collect it.
Jagged Rocks
- Now put the next four Sun Gems into the pedestals in this location.
- Once the Sun Gems are placed correctly, a rainbow flame will appear in the center of the scene.
- Take the Torch from your inventory and touch it to the flame. (Click when the tip of the cursor is in the correct spot, not the Torch itself.)
Mysterious Cave
- Now you are ready to enter the Mysterious Cave. Your cursor will automatically act as a torch to light a small part of the screen.
- We’ve used a composite screenshot to show the entire scene at once. You will only see one small part at a time.
- Collect the items named on the Find List.
- The chest in the center of the scene is moving up and down, and sometimes blocks access to the Crown which is just to its right.
- The Cupid is just a silhouette in the lower right.
- The optional insects are marked in cyan (neon blue).
- Now it is time for your first riddle task. You must first solve the riddle on the Find List, then collect the object that matches the solution.
- Riddle: “It gives light and warmth, but you can’t look at it.” The Sun.
- Riddle: “It wears a thousand layers, none of which can be removed without tears.” An onion.
- Riddle: “It lives in water, but it is not a fish. It has eight appendages, but it is not a spider.” And, surprise—it’s not an octopus, either! It’s a lobster.
- Riddle: “It begins orange, oak, and ostrich.” The letter O.
- Now that you’ve collected them, you have to put them back into the scene. There are indentations that match the general shape of each object.
Slider Puzzle Mini-game
- Now you must solve 7 slider puzzles. We have marked the initial steps on the screenshots. The last step in each case is to slide the tile with a jewel on it into the indentation.
- There may be more than one solution to some of the puzzles.
- Sometimes you will only be able to move the jeweled tile part way towards its destination in the first phase, and then you will have to move other tiles for awhile to clear the rest of the path.
- Slider 1 has 7 initial steps.
- Slider 2 has 7 initial steps.
- Slider 3 has 7 initial steps.
- Slider 4 has 11 initial steps.
- Slider 5 has 10 initial steps.
- Slider 6 has 17 initial steps.
- Slider 7 has 10 initial steps.
The Bridge
- Back on the Bridge, it’s time to put the insects you’ve collected so far into jars.
RUHH ISLAND: the Shipyard
- Begin with a standard Hidden Object scene and collect the items named on the Find List.
- Optional insects are marked in cyan.
The Peak
- This is a standard Hidden Object scene. Collect the items named on the Find List.
- The clue “13” is the Roman numeral XIII.

The Shipyard
- Back at the Shipyard, collect the pieces of the four lights.
- There are four eagle statues in the scene. Each wears a medallion with a geometric shape. You must match the shape on each light to the eagle with the same shape.
Guardian
- The Guardian is a giant bird similar to the Roc of Sinbad’s legend. Begin by collecting the named items on the Find List.
- Optional insects are marked in cyan.
Follow the Sequence Mini-game
- The lights on the chest of the Ruhh will light. You must repeat each sequence.
- The game will begin with one light, and add one more each time.
- The sequences are random, so you may get a different one than we got. However, if you write down the new note each time it should be pretty simple. Each step is the same as the one before plus one new note at the end.
- Our solution: Green, Orange, Purple, Yellow, Purple, Green, Yellow, Yellow, Green.
- When the mini-game ends, collect the jewel from the bird’s head.
The Bridge

- This is a location search. You are searching for “nerve endings,” but you will not see them in the scene. Instead, you have to click on the locations that exactly match the picture tiles in the Find List.

Lava Pipes Mini-game
- Now you must complete a series of increasingly-complex pipes puzzles.
- Any element which is glowing must be connected to the route you will build.
- Although end caps are available, you are not allowed to use them unless there is no other choice.
- There may be more than one solution to some of the puzzles.
- When you have your pipes connected, click on the START button in the upper left to release the lava.
- When you have the right answer, you will be given a new puzzle (usually with one more glowing element).
- When you have the wrong answer (usually because you have everything connected but you used an end cap), the level will just restart. So it’s a good idea to keep count of the number of glowing elements at the beginning of the puzzle so you can tell whether you passed or are redoing the same level again.

Picture Jumble Mini-game
- This is a typical jumbled picture mini-game. You can swap any two tiles. When a tile is placed in the correct position, it locks into place and you can’t move it any more.
- But there is a twist. The scene continually rotates between the three locations of the Stone Ship: the Base, the Bell Tower and the Laboratory. This can be disorienting.
- You can still solve the puzzle by looking at the picture. You’ll find that some areas of the puzzle are easier to work in one location than another. If you start working on a tile and the location shifts, you can just wait and it will eventually shift back again.
- Alternatively you can take advantage of the fact that a piece locks into place once it’s positioned correctly and just use trial and error. Start with any piece and work your way across each row of the picture until it locks into place. Then take another piece and do the same thing until the puzzle is complete.
- When you finish, take the Gem of Changes from the Bell.

- Now you must click on the spots in the scene that match the picture tiles exactly.
- Although the instructions say you are pushing “hidden buttons,” you will never actually see the buttons. You just need to click on the right places.
