this is a very challenging game. hints recharge after awhile and it is a good thing because there are some items in the HO scenes that don't match the name in the list of items to find. some examples of this is that they list a comb and it is a hairbrush that they want. they listed "ear" and "split" and they want a stalk of wheat. other than the incidences that i have listed, you will find a challenge here. i love HO games and this took me awhile when i can usually zip right through them.
