List of Collection Item Locations

Below is a complete list of collections currently available in the game that includes each item needed to combine that collection as well as where to find each item.

They are listed in the order they appear in the collections tab if sorting is disabled (i.e. they are roughly in the order they were added to the game).

Use the 'find' function on your browser to search for collection items to find their corresponding collection. Follow the links to the individual pages on each collection to get more details about them.

Regular Play Item Locations
Most, but not all, items needed to make collections can be won through normal game play. You win collection items for each successful picture investigation or puzzle game you complete. Some items can only be won when you have advance the picture or puzzle's level to a certain point, and will not be available to win there until you reach that level of progress for the picture/puzzle. Other items can only be won when playing a picture in a certain picture mode. If you are unsure whether you are at the right picture/puzzle level or you are playing a picture in the right mode to win a particular collection item, you can check to see if it is available to win before you begin the game. You do this by opening the research window of the picture/puzzle by pressing its icon on your home desktop. In the research window there is a "Can be Found" section, which contains all collection items and combining elements that potentially can be given out as rewards for winning the picture/puzzle game. The "Can be Found" list is located above the Research button, and contains photos of all the items available to win. You can scroll through this list either by swiping or by using the arrows either side of the list. This list changes depending on what level you have advanced that picture/puzzle to, or in the case of pictures, depending on what mode the picture is currently in.

If you are trying to win a particular item in order to complete a collection, you can find out where to get it by pressing its icon in the collections tab. This will bring up an info box about that particular item. Some items can be won in multiple pictures and puzzles, and some items can only be found in one location. Others can only be found when playing in a certain mode, for example night mode, but can be won in any picture as long is that picture is played in night mode.

A few items cannot be won in any picture or puzzle. These items can only be won when the quest for that item is active, and once the quest is complete it will no longer be available to win in the location the quest specified. If a quest only item has a green plus sign next to it in the collections tab, then it can be gifted between friends, so if you are looking for it you can ask your friends to send it to you. However, if a quest only item does not have a green plus sign next to it, then it cannot be gifted between friends. In the case of quest only items with no green plus signs there are only 3 ways you can get the item before you activate its quest or after you have completed its quest: 1) as a reward for discharging the collectors desktop award, 2) as a random item that drops when you open a Pandora's Chest or 3) as a item that drops randomly when you are charging a friends home desktop when visiting them.

Note: If a quest is open for any collection item, you can still get the item in the 3 ways listed above, and as a gift from a friend (if it is a green plus sign item), and gaining a collection item in any of these ways will automatically complete the quest.

Quest Item Locations
Often, the quest for a particular item will ask for very specific requirements to win the item e.g. "Play Misty Shed in Morphs mode" or "Scatter the Lost Time anomaly". It is possible for the conditions specified by a quest to be different from the regular play locations for that item. When this is the case, the item will always be available to win in the regular item location, but for the duration of the quest it will  also  be available to win in the quest location. That is, once the quest is active the item will be found in two locations, until you find the item, and the quest completes. At this point the item will go back to only being available in the regular play location.

Winning an item from a regular play location during a quest asking you to find it in a quest location will still complete the quest, so while the quest is open there will be two ways to find the item and thus complete the quest. Before and after the quest appears on the left hand side of your Home Desktop there will only be one way to find the item (the Regular location, if the item has one).

For example, if an item is normally found in Night Garden once you reach detective level for Night Garden, but a quest appears for that item asking you to search Crashed Plane in Silhouette mode:
 * Before the quest starts the item will only be available to win as a reward for successfully investigating Night Garden (once you reach Detective Level or higher on Night Garden).
 * Once the quest starts, the item will be available to win in two ways - either playing Night Garden (once it is detective level or above) or by playing Crashed Plane in Silhouette mode. Getting the item from either picture will complete the quest.
 * After the quest completes, the item will no longer be available to win by successfully completing Crashed Plane in Silhouette mode, from this point forward you will only be able to find the item in Night Garden (once you reach detective level or higher).

List of Collection Item Locations
Note: This table is very large because it lists each collection item within each collection. This is to enable people to search for a collection based on the name of a collection item they have found or are looking for as part of a quest. Use the List of Collections page if you already know the name of the collection you are looking for and are simply looking for information on the rewards for combining the collection. For a complete list of combining element requirements, use the List of Combining Element Requirements page, and for a complete list of Collection items without their locations, use the List of Collection Items page.

The exact requirements to complete quests can change with updates to the game. The Quest Locations listed below are up to date to the Valentines (February 2014) update. Any changes made to earlier quests in later updates may not be taken into account (it just isn't feasible to check every single quest every time a new update is released).

Note 2: Any collection items that cannot be added to your wishlist or given as gifts to your friends are marked with a light blue background in the table. All other collection items, with light grey backgrounds can both be added to your wishlist and sent to your friends as gifts. Use the 'Giftable Collection?' column in the List of Collections and List of Collection Items pages to sort the collections into those that are giftable and those that are not.

Note 3: Some items in the game share the same name with another item from a different collection. These items are numbered in the list based on when they were introduced to the game. Any item with a (1) or (2) after the item's name indicates that another item from a different collection is called the same thing. Two different collections are called 'Magical Ingredients' and these are also indicated with a (1) and a (2).
