This game has glitches if played on Win XP. The photographs are not active once taken.

The game is non linear. Any pages can be done, saved and move to another without finishing that location.

To save the game, click on the window at bottom right and answer the save and exit feature. There is only one save and no load feature. Press ESC skips the cutscenes. The trumpet adjusts the volume.

Use the switch and the crumpled paper(s) in each page to for hints.

Several of the puzzles have several ways to solve them. The puzzles are solved by moving from one location to another and bringing back the solution.

I recommend looking at all the locations and learning what items are found there.

If you want to lessen your pictures - let the wood lice eat them.

Map:

Meet Alberto at Jackson Island, the robot from Fabulous Journey. Click on the switch and this is the contact to call Alberto anytime. Take the key.

Items: key, shell.

Skull Point:

Aim: Find 2 pictures - Gus and hermit crab without shell.

Items: humming bird, wood lice, seashell, stony coral and 2 clues.

Solution: Place the picture of Gus the monkey from the paddle boat page and the picture of the hermit crab without shell taken at the beach page on its frames.

Devil's Pass:

Aim: Build a makeshift bridge to get the crab on top of page across to the bottom of the page.

Items: rocks, planks.

Solution: Place rocks on shallow areas so they can serve as support for the planks. 2 rocks placed at center of page (top and middle of page). Third rock placed at right of middle second rock, fourth rock at SE of the third rock, and fifth rock is at SE of fourth rock.

Place appropriate length of plank on square dock by crab and the other end to first rock. Continue until the structure at opposite shore.

Secret Cache:

Aim: To get to the well at center and get jewel.

Items: flame, parchment.

Solution: Click at well to see the well hole. Click on flame and wave the flame on open hole to drive the snake out. Wave the flame to drive them into the 4 holes at each corner and also to prevent them from coming back to the well. When the hole is empty of snakes, the gem will appear. Take gem.

Promontory:

Aim: Go to Cursed Island by putting together a plane.

Items: cockle, clue.

Solution: Click on red button to see the parts of the plane. Wave the hand cursor to drive away the pelican that will blow the leaves. There are 4 tapes to hold the parts. The plane parts will be immovable by the cursor when properly placed but can still be blown away by the pelican. First, place the 2 long woods on either side of the 2 top tapes. Then place the large leaves just below them. Place the light colored leaf at the center between the wings until it is set. Place the fat stick below the light colored leaf. The 2 small leaves are inserted on the 2 bottom tapes. The oval wood is in between the small leaves. Place the cap like thing on the front end of the plane. When completed, a plane appears and flies away to Cursed isle.

Cursed Isle

Items: 3 bullmouth helmet shells, reel 3 and 2 clues.

Solutions: Place the 4th bullmouth helmet shell from the bay page to 4 corners in this page. Turn the shell and hear a click as it turns.
