At certain parts of the game you will be asked to answer some questions correctly. If you want to select the item again all you have to do is click on it again.
When you see a large magnifying glass icon over an object it means that you already found the object but that the item is not actively selected. You can use it to pick certain types of locks. This icon will not show up until the second chapter in the game. The hand will allow you to pick up things, get things open etc., basically any kind of function that your hand could perform. In order to use the flashlights throughout the game you will have to find batteries around the area and place them in the flashlight. Once you obtain the flashlight in the second chapter, your cursor will light up any dark areas in the scene.
You can use the flashlight to help you look for items that are hidden in dark areas. Most of the time you will know that you need to use the Sleuth Eye when Nancy mentions that she needs to take a closer look at something. It allows you to take a closer look at an item. Click on the eyes when you need to read something on a page or a book. There are 3 icons in the blue toolbar, each with a specific function. You can only use the items in the toolbar when it is blue. There is a toolbar at the bottom of the page, that toolbar contains items that allow you to inspect or interact with items in the scene. The number that is in brown represents the amount of hidden objects left to find in the room. If you look in the lower right corner you will see your goal for that mission. In this game you do not have list of hidden objects to find, it is up to you to figure out what you need. You get higher points when you do match several items in a row without any interruptions and you will earn some chaining bonuses. When you’re done with all your goals, you will see the words "DONE" stamped in red at the bottom of the page. This is a great tool because it keeps you from forgetting where you found certain items. If you click on two objects that do not belong together, there will be a small magnifying glass icon left on the object that you already found. You have to make sure that you click on 2 items that go together one after the other or the 2 objects will not combine themselves.
Click on 2 items that belong together and they will both perform an action. You can identify objects that need to be picked up when you see a sparkle appear as you hover your cursor around different parts of a scene. In this game you will have to find random objects, without the help of a list, and pair 2 of those items together.
