I tried sending this a couple of hours ago but my internet service decided to fail. At least I thought to save it. So here is my 2nd attempt.

Hi Boo, it was great to find you in HC. I enjoy the approach of this game though, of course, it has its problems. My greatest one at the moment seems to be that my WL doesn't always reach MyFeed and so I have to keep deleting and adding the items until they finally appear

I play on a Windows 10 PC and would love to learn your secret. Computers seem to screw up on me all too frequently and so I won't TT for SS. Whether or not I will use your trick will depend on how likely it appears to be safe for my crazy computer.

As you guessed, I have figured out a few tricks. A big one is that I never let a visit to a location (or a game) end in defeat. If I'm about to fail (or I have used far more tools than I am willing to lose), I kill the game by hitting the X in the upper right hand corner of the screen.

Another huge help that I figured out shortly after starting this game (and works in SS as well) is whenever I enter a location, I tap my touchpad to get rid of the border info at the bottom and then do a screen capture. When I was starting out, I would then immediately pause the location and then pull up the screen capture and find the location of the 5 items and then go back to the game, click on the 5 items, do another screen capture and repeat the process until I had found all of the objects. Now I still do the screen capture right at the start so that I get the entire picture but I don't always need to refer to it; however, one never knows whether or not that will be the case at the start. What I love about the screen captures is that I can zoom in, I can use as much time as I need, and I can even rotate the image (for poltergeist).

I also found a fb page for the game. They have albums of photos for each location. This helps to familiarize me with a location new to me and sometimes with finding what specific objects might look like and some of their hiding places. They also have a list of members and their game ids. I haven't yet added all of them; I just haven't got around to it yet. Of course, being a member doesn't guarantee that they will be great friends -- I have deleted several from my game -- but it's a great starting point. It's a closed group and so you have to send a request to become a member. It's the Hidden City Mystery of Shadows Group. Heavens Glory is its creator.

There may be other secrets that aren't coming to mind at the moment. I hope these ideas will help. The current challenge is important because it provides 5 new permanent talismans. My game isn't connecting to G5 at the moment so I can only rely on my memory of your game board. I don't think that any of them have appeared on your board yet.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
