Basic Tips

- Take your time! Study the image after each scribble. Sometimes the smallest detail can be a clue!
- Use your potions. You get three new ones at the end of every chapter. So if you're stuck, a potion can help.

- Usually, the middle of the page is the best place to start. So start drawing from the middle, and work your way to the edge of the page.

General Tips

- After the first few pages of a chapter, you might have a good idea what it's about. Try to remember that for the upcoming pages, because it can provide clues to what the item might be.
- Don't overdraw! There is a square of light underneath the cursor, make sure it doesn't overlap with anywhere the pen has already drawn.

- For the Zoom Challenge, you can click on different portions of the picture, and it will move the image in addition to zooming. This can helvp zoom to the location of your choice.
- In the missing item pages, don't randomly click. You gain more stars if you avoid ink spills and using hints.

- Learn which potions are best. Not all potions are created equal, so find the ones that help you solve pages the fastest, and choose those potions.
- Don't be afraid to guess. A wrong guess only costs one star, but a guess after the first scribble will earn you ten!
