Thracia the heart drove me crazy I don't know how to hide the answer and you might not need help anymore but if you do want me to tell you where it is, let me know and I will attempt to figure out how to hide the answer or I can message you. LOL

An update has been released for this game:

Quote:
We just received a new PC version of Mystery Case Files: Shadow Lake Collector's Edition that addresses the following:

o Vignette locks won’t reset if changing profiles during HO scenes

o Church door puzzle won’t crash when closing

o Credits and typos fixed

o Fixes to prison records room door lock and final puzzle Drag-And-Drop issues


I haven't experienced any issues with the game as yet but will probably update just to be on the safe side. wave

Sly One, I finally found the heart after looking on the BF forums. Someone else had the same issue, Marian answered the question. Thank you for the offer of help. The funny thing is once I knew where to look for it, it was clear as day. Not sure why I didn't" see it before. Thanks anyway.

You are welcome. I'm glad that you found it. I had such a difficult time finding it myself and said the same thing when I finally found it. LOL

wave Hi, Just finished the game and found out there's more to it. I didn't know there was a Grimes Quarry but found it when I was looking for more. Now, I'm hunting morphed objects.
I enjoyed the game very much. It's not like the other Mystery Case file games. You will either love it or hate it. thumbsup

Does anyone have a solution to the lock puzzle for sheriff's office. The strategy guide I am afraid to say is not very helpful unless I am missing something. It just shows the picture with no way to solve it.

Ramona, could you give me the page number on the strategy guide for this puzzle? This might help jog my memory about how you solve it. wave

It doesn't give the page number. It shows 62% complete. It is one of those lock mechanism puzzles. I had to use a bobby pin to pick the lock.

To get into the sheriff's office, you need to

Click to reveal..
click on the pins of the lock, in this order (with 1 being the far left pin): 5-4-1-3-2

ramona, you have to get all the locks out of the center at the same time. the locks move at different rates. You need to click the slower ones first and the faster ones later. It does take trial and error. I solved it by counting how long each lock took to return to their starting positions. Hope this helps, if this is the puzzle you are referring to.

No, this one comes up after the trip to the coroner's office. A bobby pin and screwdriver are used. I wish the guide at least gave an explanation of the puzzle.

Is this the safe in the sheriff's office, where it talks about a fishing spot?

If so,

the clue is found in the previous room, on a map on the wall.

You said you used the bobby pin. Have you used the screwdriver as well? wave

Sorry about this, Ramona - it's frustrating not being able to reference this in the strategy guide. frown

Yes, used both and now at part where use bobby pin to tap the mechanism. Usually with these puzzles,you have to tap one in a certain order to get them to lock into place. It is frustrating. I will try a little while longer and then go to the Murder She Wrote game.

Well folks I finished the game and have to say finding the morphing objects was the most fun. It was the first MCF HOG that I rushed through just to finish. I have high hopes though for the next year's game. All the games have been excellent and no one can be perfect all of the time.
