General Tips
- Hide and Secret 3: Pharaoh’s Quest is the third title in the Hidden Object Adventure game. Your goal is to find the missing magic artifacts and use them to reunite the spirit of the Pharaoh and his Queen.
- There is no timer, and there appears to be no penalty for wrong clicks.
General Tips for Hidden Object Scenes
- A few of the items that you collect in Hidden Object scenes can be used elsewhere in the game. The game refers to these as Handy Items.
- Each Hidden Object scene always has the same items in the same positions, but the Find List may appear in a different sequence. If you leave a scene and restart, this can be a little confusing until you figure it out.
- When you finish a Hidden Object scene, you need to click on the exit arrow that points down to exit.
- Some Hidden Object scenes will open again a second time in the game after you complete tasks in other areas. So whenever you return to a location, look for the sparkles. You may need to revisit an area you did previously to get new items.
General Tips for Handy Items (Using Items from your inventory)
- In addition to the Handy Items you can find in Hidden Object scenes, you may be awarded a Handy Item for completing a mini-game.
- Some characters will give you a Handy Item after you complete a task for them.
- Quite often after you use a Handy Item in a scene, a new item will appear somewhere nearby. It will usually sparkle blue to remind you to pick it up.
- All of your Handy Items are stored in your backpack in the lower right. You can scroll through these by using the arrows on the left and right of backpack.
- When you are going to use a Handy Item in a scene, you first click on it in your inventory, then click on the sparkles near where you want to use it. It will only count if you click on the sparkles, even if visually it looks like it should go slightly off of that point.
General Tips for Traveling from Scene to Scene
- In each scene if you move your cursor slowly around, you will find from 1 to 4 yellow arrows which are exit points to other scenes. An exit arrow can point up, down, left, or right.
- Sometimes the Up arrow is off to one side or another, usually associated with a building there.
- Some exits are locked until you do other things in the game. The exit arrows will not appear unless you can use the exit. So each time you revisit a scene, scan again to see if new exit arrows have opened.
- You will need to revisit some of the locations in the game many times. One location requires as many as 9 visits, depending on the order in which you do things.
- If you get stuck and can’t think of what to do next, but don’t want to look at the walkthrough, try going back to the plane first. Click on the plane and look at the country tiles—are there any green numbers? If so, you have new tasks to do there.
- If you’re still stuck, but there are no green numbers on the country tiles, again go to the plane. Starting from there, just work your way down the river, checking each location on each side.
- There are two active locations on the left side of The City: the Market and the Dome. The sparkles for the Dome look like they belong to the Market, and since the Dome is only available sometimes during the game, this can be confusing.
General Tips for Passport Hall and Countries other than Egypt
- After you repair the airplane, you will be able to use it to fly to other countries once you find the passport for that country.
- Each country other than Egypt has two picture tiles, and each picture tile has the number “1” and the number “2” on it.
- If the number on the country tile is green, there is something for you to do there.
- If the number on the country tile is red, you have completed that task.
- If the number on the country tile is white, you can visit the scene, but you will have to come back again later when it is green to perform a task.
General Tips for the In-game Hint System
- Throughout the game you will spot small pyramids. Click on these to get extra hints added to your hint counter.
- If an area sparkles gold, you can click there. You may be able to exit to a new scene, get a zoom scene, or use a Handy Item on that spot.
- If an item sparkles blue, you can pick it up.
- If an area sparkles red, you will be able to look more closely at it later in the game, but it is currently locked.
- If your cursor changes to a magnifying glass, click again to look more closely at that area.
- To leave a zoom scene, find the exit arrow that points down.
General Tips for Mini-games
- You can skip a mini-game once the skip pyramid is fully charged.
- If you are doing a jigsaw puzzle mini-game, a piece will lock into place once it is in the right position.
- If you are doing a jigsaw puzzle mini-game, you can connect pieces together even if they are not in locked position.
- If you are doing a rows and columns mini-game, the pieces do NOT lock into place when they are in correct position.
Walkthrough
- Your Find List may be in a different order, but the objects should be the same as in the screenshots.
- The Handy Item is marked with a double frame.
- There are 5 river stops in Egypt. We have named them based on what you see on the left side of the screen: the Plane, the Row of Statues, the Camel, the Sphinx, and the Last River Stop.
- “Downriver” is the direction going away from the plane towards the Last River Stop.
- “Upriver” is the direction going back towards the plane.
