General Tips

This is the official guide for Dead Reckoning: Silvermoon Isle.
This guide will not mention each time you have to zoom into a location; the screenshots will show each zoom scene.
Hidden-object puzzles are referred to as HOPs. This guide will not show screenshots of the HOPs, but it will mention when a HOP is available and the inventory item you'll collect from it.
Instead of HOPs you can play a bubble shooter game; a HOP item will be removed from the list each time you remove an 'e' bubble.
This guide will give step-by-step solutions for all puzzles that are not random. Please read the instructions in the game for each puzzle.
