Welcome to Detective Stories: Hollywood forum

The most trouble I have is putting the stuff in the library in 59 second's but it can be done. My first time took me 40 times,I have played this game 5 times now and that room take's the longest but I do get it. Last time only took me 30 time's. This morning the western set took me 15 times. I love this game.I hate the library it does need a few more second's on it but I keep playing.

Picked up the other thing (what is it?) and couldn't put it down or use it anywhere, so each time I restart, I have to put the pieces back together. Help

Lighter light's the burner on the table,Then put the pot on ,then put the pill bottle in the pot. You have to find the sparkley part to release them. They will also release back where you got them from if you get it back to the circle it came from and click.

Timer is so quick, I can solve the skeleton face puzzle but I don't have enough time. I guess I have to go super fast

please help. i have had no problems with this game at all until i got to the scales. all i have is 2 emeralds and 1 stone, how do i get more items to balance it in addition there are suppose to be statutes where are they, i have tried and tried at my wit's end. thanking you in advance.

I think you have to do the scales puzzle 3 times, you dont see the statues until the third time.

Having the same problem as others have reported with replacing the 30 objects in the library. Must have done this 30-40 times at least so far with no fewer than 3 left at the end. Like someone else, I tried another mouse (I usually use a trackball) but that didn't help. 59 seconds is WAY too short for this. A relaxed mode for the whole game or 90 seconds for this task would make this less frustrating

I can't seem to balance the weights the third time to move on, the first two are easy, but the third is hard and I wish it had a number system which let you know how much the scales had on them at any given time, a few times it looked right, but I guess it wasn't balanced.

i need help!! i cannot figure out how to open the letter in the kitchen!!!

i can't figure out how to open the letter in the kitchen!!!!!!

If I recall correctly, you use a match to light the burner on the stove, put the kettle on the burner and hold the letter over the kettle to steam it open.

FINALLY replaced all the objects in 60 seconds. The suggestion to always replace the bottom one seems to have done the trick - or else my reflexes just got better after 60 tries! However, the next scene is restoring the power in the library by connecting the wires. Is there any trick or pattern to this or is it trial and error? Thanks.

30 items in 59 seconds CAN BE DONE , with lots of patience & many tries, if I can do it you alcan

Fun HO, long, although not as long as some, I haven't finished so I plan to keep at it.

The graphics are really awesome! I like the simple animations. The sounds are okay. It is challenging but it's hard finding stuffs. It's long to load but it's okay. Angela, the detective or whatever her name is, is one of my favorite characters!

I tried and tried to get the 30 objects replaced in 59 seconds and couldn't do it either. I got my daughter to do it because she has faster reflexes than I do and she had to do it several times to get it. There are two of those in the game and then the game goes back to the 2 minutes on the rest of them. We thought it was a glitch in the game because it is way too hard for most people. It isn't fun when you have to spend hours trying to do something that is almost impossible for most of us.

thank you i will try that,its driving me nuts

What teenager thought that us older ones could place 30 objects exactly on the mark in 59 seconds!?!?!?!?! Big Fish think of our sanity and give us a relaxed mode fix or extend the time to 2 minutes at least!!!
