Gameplay
Players explore colourful, hand‑drawn levels set in different historical ages, searching for scattered objects. Cryptic hints are provided to help discover each secret location.
Advancing requires finding a sufficient number of objects in a level, after which the game moves the player to the next stage of the four great ages.
- Compare hint wording across levels to spot recurring clue patterns.
- Observe the visual style of each age for thematic object placements.

Ages and Stages
The game is divided into four great ages, each representing a distinct period of world history. Each age contains multiple levels that must be cleared before moving on.
Progression is tied to collecting enough objects within a level; once the requirement is met, the player advances to the next stage within the current age or to the next age altogether.
- Track how many objects are needed per level to plan your search time.
- Notice any visual cues that differentiate one age from another.
