I've been playing this game since yesterday and enjoying it a lot in the Relaxed version, but today I'm stuck in a major way. I'm in 1862, Antietam, and can't find the very last object to finish this part. It's Dice and I have gone to GameZebo and found their Hints for this part of the game, but unfortunately the list they show is different from mine. Some of the objects were the same and those I have found, but I also see some of the objects on their list that are still in my game but never appeared on my list. However Dice is not one of the objects in their list, but that's not all. When I use the hint button I can't see where the hint is. I have used at least 4 hints, maybe more (lucky for me that I know how to get more hints at the Cannonball Game) and still can't see where the Dice are. They must be in the sky or the light flap of the tent and therefore the little lights from the hints don't show up! I really hate to give up on this game, so can anyone help? Pretty please and thanks in advance!

Yep, I did try GameZebo. I really don't know how to find anything there unless it is right up front on the main page and this game was right there, where even I couldn't miss it!
Thanks for trying anyway, Ana, I appreciate it.
Maybe I should start over and hope I get a different list the second time around?
Well, it's too late tonight, so maybe by tomorrow somebody else will have a better solution, I can always hope!

Hi Sierramindy,

I may be too late in bringing you this info but even if I am this may help others as well.

I think I have a screenshot for you for the dice. Without it being in the list I'm not 100 % sure if this is correct since I can't click on it.Everything is so small that it's hard to tell.

Hidden Mysteries DICE

Let me know if that is correct.

Thanks, L4L. If it's not correct I will go back and look again. I tried to save one of each scene in case people can't find things. By the time I'm done I will have this whole game memorized :-)

Wow, Margie,
That was perfect! I checked the screenshot, went to my game, and with one click on the spot you had in the screenshot, I got it and the game moved on to 1863. So once again, I'm on my way! I'm so excited I can hardly think. I was all set to work all day at trying to find hints, before starting over, which I was almost too sure would happen. I can't believe my luck and your truly fantastic help. You really did great! A billion thanks!
BTW, just what is GameZebo? I know that is probably an odd question, but it baffles me as I do not know how it works. Like is it just a place for hints and reviews, or is there more to it? I can only use it when there is a link to a particular game here, or when the game is new and it is right there on the front page and all I have to do is scroll to find it.

Hey Sierramindy,

I'm so glad that was it! It was hard to tell for sure since I couldn't click on it.

That game has some tough ones to find. Somebody asked yesterday where to find an exclamation point. That one really made me sweat a little :-) I found it after much agonizing. The hint did not work since the object was so small, when it glimmered I couldn't see it. They could have done a better job with the hint system, especially with objects that are that hard to find.

Gamezebo is a website founded by a guy named Joel (great guy). It actually features Reviews, Tips and Tricks, Walkthroughs and Previews of upcoming games. Joel is very good at getting news about upcoming games before anybody else. I write the majority of tips and walkthroughs for that site. I started there around July of last year and I have to say that I love it there. Great set of people. Whenever you want to check it out you can actually click on the link in my signature box.

If you get stuck again, let me know.

Looks like my thread has been hijacked and it is now the Hidden Mysteries of Big Fish Game Club. <grin> Interesting reading though, but now to get back to the game where I again need some help. My list is different from the one in the walkthrough and I looked for help in the comments at the end, just in case someone else had the same problem, no such luck. Anyway, I can't find the spider in 1863, Siege of Vicksburg. I can find the olive and the Eiffel Tower just fine, but unfortunately they are not on my list! I ran out of hints and the cannonball game is bigger and harder now and I keep blowing up. This is the last thing I need to find in order to move on in the game.

I "unhijacked" your thread Sierramindy. Maggie47 Game Club Question is now here.

Hope someone that has played will be able to offer help soon.

Sorry...

help me, Margie, help me

1862 Antietam ... I can't find the 'exclamation' (sp?) I see the question mark on the side of the barrel, but the exclamation has me crazy

Tried and tried to understand the logic behind the cannonball game with no luck. Afraid to use the three hints given because most are wasted when the glittery thing goes by so fast

good game ... learning about US history

Hi Menahune,

The exclamation point is on Abe Lincoln's hat.

Sierramindy,

I need to look at the screesnhot, the copy I have is not very clear.For some reason I remember that it was on the bark of the large tree, or on those round pieces to the right of it. Not positive but I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Oh gee, I was just kidding, being funny to give everyone a laugh, didn't mean for me to be taken seriously! However, it is probably for the best that Big Fish Game Club has its own thread since many gamers were interested in knowing more about it. No sense making a hidden mystery out of it, I reckon.

I didn't see the above post about the hint until after I wrote the above about what had happened to the thread. Now I'm off to check the tree after coming home from eating out at Denny's.

Hi there, miracle worker Margie! I went to the game and looked at the tree thinking I would have to click a thousand and one pixels. So I wasn't the least bit prepared when my first click actually (can you believe this!) was on the spider and the game suddenly moved along leaving me bewildered as to what happened at first. Thought I did something wrong! Then I checked out the list and saw that the spider was gone, huge surprise. So now on to the Spotsylvania Courthouse! Happy gamer that I am, thanks to you.

Hey Sierramindy, that is too funny that you found the spider and you did not even know it. I'm glad that you found it.

Ana, I love that term "unhijacked" the thread...too funny.

Finished the game and really enjoyed it and the help I got here from Margie and also at Gamezebo. Made it all great for me, so I don't agree with a lot of comments I read where others disliked the game. They have their reasons and I have mine, and I feel I got my money's worth with this game.

I am having a problem finding all ten arrows. Checked it out at Gamezebo's tips and tricks. There's a box to click for the arrows, but when I click it I'm told the page has been removed. Help!!! Please?


I really enjoy mornings. I just wish they came later in the day.

I checked back with Gamezebo. Must have been some kind of glitch because this time I found my answer. Thanks anyway!

bsimm, I'm sorry you missed reading here about the difficulty in finding the objects. I do not believe you will find anywhere that has all the screens marked. That would be a phenomenal undertaking. Sorry.... I hope you get past it.

Looney4Labs has a great way of getting past it, by taking a screenshot and then saving it and looking at it out of the game.
