Hidden Expedition: Amazon
-
Embark to South America in search of the missing Professor Mandible in "Hidden Expedition: Amazon." As you explore the Amazon rainforest, look for hidden objects that appear in a scene. The list of items indicates what you must find; use your mouse to click items as you see them. If you're not sure what an item looks like, click a word from the list at any time to see its silhouette depiction. As with all "Hidden Expedition" games, hints highlight the locations where you will find particular items; you get to use three hints per level. Earn an extra hint after finding five beetles in a level. Clicking the wrong item too many times consecutively disables your cursor and results in penalty points. For objects listed in blue coloring, you must perform special actions with inventory items to obtain them; for instance, use a key to unlock a drawer and find an item.
Hidden Expedition: Devil's Triangle

Search for a missing pilot in the Bermuda Triangle in "Hidden Expedition: Devil's Triangle." As in other "Hidden Expedition" titles, you find hidden objects in different scenes and get three hints per level. Unlike other "Expedition" titles, you can freely click around the scene without imposing penalties. If you use up three hints in a level, you earn an additional hint after a certain amount of time. Depending on the level, combine inventory items to create new, more useful items.

You have three hints per hidden-object level; find five gems in a level to earn an extra hint. On the bottom of the screen, track the progress of both your team and your opponents. Find an hourglass to gain extra time and stop opponents in their tracks. If you click wrong items too many times in a row, your opponents gain ground in the race.
