While several of the scenes used in this game were new to me, there were a number that seemed to have been lifted from other titles in the series. Failure to complete a location (including the accompanying mini-game) within its time limit will result in you needing to replay those scenes. While mildly entertaining, the mini- games should not hold you up too long or consume too much of your allocated 17 hours to complete your search for the will.Ī specific amount of time is allocated for each location. These pieces of paper will fit together into a blueprint revealing the location of the will. A clue, in the form of a scrap of paper, is your reward for finishing the mini-game. This could involve rotating or switching tiles to build up a picture, playing a match-3 game, or finding words in a square of letters. There will be ten differences which you need to locate in either scene using a dual cursor represented by a magnifying glass on one side and an arrow on the other.Īfter completing all the various scenes within a location, you will need to complete a mini-game. Spot the Differences involves two views of the same locations positioned side-by-side. As items are removed from the list by being located, they will be replaced by a random choice from those remaining items. As before, only ten items will be listed initially. With the Unlimited Search option, as you might suppose, you get to look for all the objects concealed in each of the 25 locations. Once you have collected 25 keys and 25 apples, you will gain entry to the two additional game modes mentioned earlier. You will also need to be on the look-out for keys and apples.

As each item is located, its entry in the list will be deleted and your points total will increase accordingly. Later the Unlimited Search and Spot the Differences games will become available.Įach of the various locations is made up of different scenes containing ten hidden objects that are listed down the left side of the screen.
