Deadly Snowstorm

Getting Started

Warning - Does include spoilers, especially for the harder to find objects. We don't usually reveal all object locations, but will help with some of the harder to find ones.

If you have never played games like this before, basically you need to tap around the screen to discover hidden objects, to interact with other characters and to navigate through the game.

In Chapter 1 you get to the Hotel and you have your first hidden object task. Get to the reception and talk to Otto, he will tell you about a missing key that you have to find. Tap the sparkly cloud when you see it to start to look for the hidden objects.

There are a number of objects that you need to find including the Key for Otto. It would totally spoil the game if we pointed out each one, but we will say, do remember to click on things that can be opened, such as drawers, cupboard doors, boxes, bags, purses and anything that could contain more objects, as not all of them are readily visible when you first start looking. Don't forget the objects you are looking for could also be pictures on paintings for example...

... I think we've said too much already, but if there is anything specific that you cannot find, please ask us a question on this page, and we'll try to suggest where it could be found.

After you have found the key and all the objects (the most difficult ones are the items printed in red) tap the link at the bottom of the screen to go back to the Reception and give it to Otto.

Notice: Tapping the Screen and Using Hints uses energy! Tap wisely!

Head to Front Yard

Otto directs you to go to the Front Yard for your next task, if you are stuck, then check the map at any time to see where you are, but basically you need to go to the first floor, then you will see a link to the Front Yard.

In the post box you will find another collectible, an Italian Express Stamp.

The task is to find a hat and an umbrella outside in the front yard, Otto tells you they are covered in snow.

In the front yard you will see that everything is covered in snow, so tap away and try to reveal the umbrella and hat

Using Hints

The hint option becomes available constantly over time, use that to save some energy when looking for objects. Tapping the hint button at this point will tell you where to find either the top hap or umbrella directly.

You can then use some more hints, as they become available to help you find the second item.

After you have found the umbrella and hat, head back to Otto at the reception.

Play Solitaire

After you have given the umbrella and hat to Otto, go to the fireplace room where you can play your first mini game, Solitaire. If you are not sure how to play then I suggest that you head over to google and tap in hoe to play solitaire! There will be a ton of guides on how to play this.

If you can complete the mini game you will get an energy achievement award. Or you can choose the skip the mini game and not ged the energy award.
