Quest
There are quest of Hidden City. Let's solve hidden city, mystery adventure game and magnificant stories.
-
Doll Collection
Fabien Dalemode
The story of the mannequin girl in the Atelier is simple and innocent, and now you'll hear it. The ingenious Puppeteer, who created incredible mechanisms, was one of my clients. Bring me the figurine wearing the "Golden Threads" outfit, it's important for my story.
I created this outfit when I worked for the Puppeteer. Yes, I was an aspiring designer and sewed clothes for his toys. One day, he ordered a collection of five luxurious dresses. I had to show it on such small figurines, and this is the first one.
-
Surprise Box
Mr. Black
Delamode, all the buttons have been found. Why did you try to put us on the wrong track? I'll keep the buttons in a box for the time being. For example, this shiny one, held by the mannequin girl. I just need to unclench its grip, hand me some tools.
Hmm, the mannequin opened its hand by itself, I didn't even touch it. Monsters and Defenders, the mannequin opened the box and handed it to me, pointing at the buttons! Delamode, what's going on here? Is that a living mannequin?!
-
An Unexpected Find
Valerie
Here's the first letter... What a coincidence, it's from me! Here's what I wrote to Santa: "Dear Santa, I was really, really good this year. I tried to be nice and to help everybody, but this is tough to do in the City of Shadows! So I was a goody-two-shoe all year long. Do you think you could bring me a nice pair of earrings for Christmas? Thanks in advance, and Merry Christmas!" That was fun, but hwere's the box with my present? Find it.
Hurray! You found my earrings. What's this? There's a gemstone missing from one of them! Could somebody have robbed Santa's Workshop? Then why wouldn't the thieves just steal both earrings? No, there's something else going on here...
-
Workshop of Wonders
Detective
One Christmas legend turned out to be true. The secret door opened into Santa's Workshop. But what is it? Inside it's empty and quiet, the conveyor belt for wrapping gifts is broken. It seems like the magic of Christmas has abandoned this place. Where are the elves and Santa himself? Uncover the secret agenda of those who pose a threat to Christmas.
-
Vivid Evidence
Rayden Storke
This is the funniest case I've happened to participate in! Someone came from the fog to steal buttons and sew them on everything? It looks like a protest, not a robbery. I noticed a red spark among the hangers, let's take a closer look.
A ruby button is sewn onto the branded hanger with the Delamode logo - the evidence couldn't be more eloquent! I can't wait to hear form the Atelier's owner about this so-called theft.
-
A Mad Tea Party
Mr. Black
Don't aggravate your guilt, Delamode. How many more buttons did the sewer maniac supposedly steal from you? Two more are missing? Deduction tells me that we need to look in the most unexpected places. Let's examine the tea atable.
Look, this embroidered napkin also enjoys having a ruby button on it. Mr. Couturier, you've chosen a very bad tactic for confusing the trail. Bear in mind that I can qualify your actions as a mockery of the City government.
-
Feathered Wonder
Fabien Delamode
There's been a misunderstanding! I work a lot, I was probably more tired than I thought... Ooh la la, this is embarrassing! How could I sew precious ruby buttons on... Wait a minute, what's that scarlet gleam on the feathered headband? Bring it, please.
Well of course, the feathered headband also has a ruby button sewn onto it! But it doesn't suit this plume at all... Monsieur Black, believe me, what's happening here is a complete surprise for me too, I swear!
-
Aroma of Luxury
Kira Woodville
Are we looking for ruby buttons? Then I can tell you where another is - on the ribbon decorating a perfume bottle. I smelled... um... was conducting surveillance and noted the unusual design of the perfume. The bottle is among others in the shopwindow, see?
This is the exact perfume I was talking about. The smell is very exquisite, but the ruby button is clearly out of place here. We should ask the couturier why he sewed the buttons all over the place, and then claimed that they'd been stolen.
-
Shoes for a Princess
Mr. Black
Delamode, you're saying that you've lost very valuable ruby buttons? Well, the Security Service will help you find them. We'll conduct an inspection at the Atelier, starting off with those ankle boots. No objections.
Look at that, I was right: a ruby button has been sewn on the boot. Mr. Delamode, is this yours? It seems that you were visited by a unique thief - a lover of sewing. Or did you sew this button on yourself and are trying to mess with my head? I don't advise it!
-
Cause for Worry
Mr. Black
And here's the owner of the Atelier, and he's clearly disconcerted. Let's find out why Delamode is upset and whether it's due to the night visitor from the fog. The information from the mysteries hidden underneath all this ostentation will be recorded in the Investigation Diary.
-
Endurance and Love of Freedom
Isabelle
I think that a symbol of courage, tenacity and love would be a good thing for the people of the City of Shadows. I'm talking about Prometheus. Maybe you can help me find his statue?
I hope that Prometheus' statue will make some of the demons disappear from the City forever. The name of this titan means "the diviner" and he's a symbol of the battle for human happiness, as well as the umbreakable and all-conquering force of will. Basically, all that the citizens of the City of Shadows are missing.
-
Security at the Door
Juliette
Here we are at the doors of the Rapture Theatre. The Detective was right, it's spooky in here... Let's go inside quickly and find him. Maybe we can still make it to the magnificent New Year's gala premiere. Could there really be a new life waiting for us...?
We're finally inside the theater! It's so pretty! Red velvet, paintings in heavy frames... Look, there's evena Christmas tree on the stage! But it appears the place hasn't been clearned in a long time. There's all sorts of things on the floor, and there's cobwebs everywhere. It's so eerie in here... and interesting... but I don't see the Detective...
-
Guardian of Justice
Martha
The Pearl of Wisdom gives us the power to control the Dark Dragon, but it's guarded by a fiery phoenix, the embodiment of the night. I wouldn't want a fierce battle with that beautiful bird? Let's summon the so-called "Sons of the Dragon" as allies. They'll help us convince the phoenix to hand over the pearl. The first of the ancient serpent's descendants is the amazing Luduan. Look for it in the temple.
Great! The Luduan is a Deer Dragon. It has knowledge of all the world's languages?? and can move with incredible speed. No wonder the Son of the Dragon is a symbol of openness and impartial enforcement of the law. It's even able to detect the truth. Maybe the Detective should be given such a talisman?
-
Mandate from Heaven
Martha
Now we understand which qualities the powerful dragon possesses. But is there anyone among us who has some of them? I know one magic ritual that will help identify the worthy person. Bring a fwe City artifacts, and I'll prepare the vessels containing the dragon's nature.
As a result of the ritual, a pendant has appeared around my neck. It's no just a decoration, it's a jade Bi-Disc - the astral sphere! This is a powerful artifact and a symbol of the blessing of the sun and heavens. In China, jade is a symbol of high spiritual qualities. Apparently they must be in the person chosen to tame the dragon. Is this a sign that I am the Chosen One? It seems the first test is complete...
-
Sensitivity to the Universe
Isabelle
In the East, they believe there are five elements. The dragon's final nature is connected to the forest, to wildlife. I wonder which qualities will correspond to it? Look for something symbolising the Forest Dragon.
This vessel contains the Forest Dragon7s nature. It's as if it is made of leaves and moss. these dragons live in forest caves, hidden from outsiders by the dense brush. These recluses love solitude. Their widsom and ability to listen is related to this. Also, the power of wildlife gives them long life.
-
A Surprising Offer
Juliette
You got the same invitation to the theater as me? I can't wait to go to the premiere! My invitation says that the play is going to be about my father. He went missing when I was little. I've always wanted to know what happened to him but the Detective said it's too dangerous, and then he stole my invitation and went to the theater by himself last night and... and disappeared... Mon ami, what if something has happened to him? I'm afraid to go to the theater by myself. Will you come with me?
The Rapture Theater will open its doors soon, and we'll attend the premiere. I hope we can solve the mystery of my father's disappearance and find out whether or not he's still alive. Maybe this is what's going to change my life.
-
Insight into the Core
Juliette
Mon ami! I'm so afraid over the appearance of the fire-breathing dragon that I can't think about flames. That's why I looked at the fountain and at the water, when it dawned on me: dragons can also control the seas and oceans! What special qualiies might they have? Look for the embodiment of the Water Dragon in the temple.
Ah, well done! Look at this vessel. How ever-changing and fickle the Water Dragon's nature is! This makes it unusually perceptive, but also ruthless. They are the cause of heavy rains and floods. It's a good thing the Manor is on a hill. There might be a shelter from a flood there.
-
Defensive Disc
Huntress
You did well for your first try. Let's try something a little more complicated. Find a suitable Shield for the next training session before you fight the assassin.
Now hold the Shield in your left hand, the weapon in your right, and defend yourself! In ten days or so, I'd make a great warrior out of you. As it is, we'll have to pin our hopes on Martha and luck.
-
Crusader's Weaponry
Huntress
The chief weapon of a mounted crusader is a long lance. The first strike is the most important - after all, it's often the last as well. The second most important weapon is a long, straight sword. That's all for the weaponry, I think.
It's time for a little training. First let's see how you handle the lance, then we'll move on to the sword.
-
Safety for the Legs
Huntress
The legs are a very vulnerable spot. For your fight with Cardsharp you'll need special protection - Greaves and Boots.
How did you manage to find these Greaves and Boots so quickly? Did you bother measuring them at all? It not, the result of this battle is more than obvious.
-
Protecting the Head
Huntress
In a battle with an assassin, it's very important to protect your head. Find yourself a Helmet.
Never take your Helmet off in battle. Don't expect Cardsharp to go back to normal when he sees you. He'll try to kill you for certain.
-
Crusader's Armor
Huntress
Now you must search for a knight's suit of armour. Find a Cuirass that fits you.
Have you tried on this pile of iron? If the Cuirass is uncomfortable, we could find you some chain mail instead.
-
Arranging Things
Valerie
Oh, you've already got all the cartography instruments together? Am I too late to help? Let me pack all the instruments and arrange them beautifully. Round with round, long with long. I just don't know where to put the pair of compasses - they're sharp, after all. Look. look! When everything is arranged, some sort of amulet appears in the centre. But there isn't enough energy. Bring more artifacts! I hope we'll be able to save Cardsharp soon.
The amulet looks to have the eye of an eagle or a hawk. Does that mean we'll be able to see everything all the time? Any obstacles, any hardships and unexpected troubles...
-
Wind Speed
Alex
Another instrument we'll need to bring abroad our aerial vessel is a Cup Anemometer.
Do you know what the Anemometer is for? It's for measuring wind speed, of course. This way we'll be able to determine which way the sind blows us. And if we keep a close eye on it all the time, we'll always know our position.
-
Invincible Hero
Isabelle
The ancient Greeks also valued the virtue of courage. Its personification was Hercules; an unstoppable warrior that battled evil and laboured tirelessly. His weapon was a club that destroyed vices. can you find the Statue of Hercules?
All of Hercules' life was a battle. Defeating, subduing and destroying all the monsters that represented vices. The Statue of Hercules wears the skin of a Nemean lion whilst holding the club, that symbolises crushing force and destruction. It will add true beauty to the City.
-
Measuring Altitude
Alex
I read in a manual that safety when flying a Hot-Air Balloon depends on several navigational instruments. One of them is the Altimeter, or altitude meter. We need to get hold of one.
The Altimeter will be essential to us. You can only take a Hot-Air Balloon up to a certain height. If you go heigher, a catastrophe is inevitable.
-
Looking into the Distance
Alex
I had another idea. While we fly through the sky in our Hot Air Balloon, we might see some new unknown regions of the City; if the fog openes up for a moment. We should take a Spyglass along so we don't miss anything important at a very high altitude. Find one.
Fantastic! A powerful lens, elegant carving... This Spyglass was made by a true master craftsman. Now we can watch not only the land and its outline, but the roads and tracks as well.
-
Drawing a Circle
Alex
A Vernier Caliper can't be used in cartography without a Pair of Compasses. We'll need to find a pair.
My expectations were correct. A Pair of Compasses without any extravagances, as if straight out of the Middle Ages.
-
Collect a set
Detective
We have the black box but we don't know what's inside. It's a pity that most mechanisms from the real world don't work in the City. I thought it over and decided that the only way to turn on the box is to connect it to a Tesla generator high voltage source. It could be anywhere, we just need to search thoroughly.
Yes, that's what we need. These generators will make the black box talk.
-
Cause of the catastrophe
Detective
To find out what happened in the cockpit before the crash, we have to find the "black box", which actually looks like a bright orange ball. Everything is recorded into the black box for protection in case of a crash. I... also have a personal favor to ask. I saw a life vest in the cockpit - it would be useful to Juliette, who's scared of water.
A life vest! How did you know about my problem? A friend? He has my gratitude. Indeed, I'm scared of large bodies of water. This phobia has grown since the medium mentioned a flood and I can't sleep peacefully. Once I close my eyes it's like a black wave is swallowing me and I'm drowning. If I sleep with this vest it may fix my phobia.
-
Price of Memories
Alex
I'm still trying to remember my past. but it's almost impossible in this unfamiliar and foreign place! Things from the real world often bring back memories of my past. But it's so hard to find them in the City. Could you find anything from the real world for me?
I've remembered something - yes, my childhood, my family, our dog... I'm sograteful to you! You can't imagine how hurtful it is to be a desolate ghost without a past!
-
Secret code
Conductor
Of course I'll help. Thanks to you I have my "joy" back again. I used to like deciphering, even created a small decryption machine. Haven't used it in a long time and hid it in City Hall.
Hello, old friend! I last used this machine a long time ago. We need to connect up the dictaphone... Here, it's working.
-
Squeak and knock
Detective
We have to search for a dictaphone at the Station, near the nose of the plane where we found Hughes's photograph. But be careful, it's dark and the City's not even safe during the day.
Look, a dictaphone, exactl like the Book of Memory showed us. Turn it on! do you hear that noise? Clicks, static... some kind of a rhythm. The recording is encrypted, how can we decrypt it? The Conductor once told me he was fond of deciphering; we should ask him.
-
Book of Memory
Detective
Martha says we'll learn about the item in Hughes's pocket if we use the Book of Memory. This book reads the lost item's images and shows them. Martha has business to attend so we have to find the book in the Room of Fate ourselves. Night is falling so it will be hard to find, but we can't postpone our search till morning.
What an interesting book; the huge gem on its cover looks like a sapphire. What? It refuses to open. Maybe we should place the photo on the gem. See, it opens by itself and there's a picture of a dictaphone. That's what we have to find at the crash site!
-
Straight Lines
Alex
To draw the map, we'll need some cartography tools. The simplest of them is the Vernier Caliper. Find one, please, and I'll think about what else we'll need.
You managed to provide the simplest of measuring instruments with a multitude of additional functions. It's astounding.
-
Crocheting
Juliette
Mon cheri! I made an excellent Lace Napkin! Even the Mistress liked it, which is rare. Now I'm going to learn how to crochet. But I'll need a Crochet Hook and some sort of sample - I can't understand anything just by looking at the pictures. Will you find them for me?
I'm going to try and finish this star-shaped sample today. The guide says that crocheting is very easy. I'm going to check this statement in practice soon.
-
Lacework
Juliette
I put in a whole lot of work, but I never managed to make a Beaded Butterfly. I'm ashamed to show what I ended up with. This is why I decided to try and master another craft for now - lacework. Please find me something simple as a sample - like a Lace Napkin.
I'm looking at this Lace Napkin and having doubts. Will I manage to do something like this too? Maybe lacework isn't for me?
-
Threading Beads
Juliette
I want to show you something! I learned how to stich really quickly. Now I want to start on bead weaving. I saw an example of it in the guide - it was called a Beaded Butterfly. Do you think you could find a similar one? I'll try to copy it.
No picture, no matter how good, could convey the beauty of this finished work. This Beaded Butterfly is lovely. I'll try as hard as I can to make a similar one.
-
Insidious Basilisk
Juliette
Because of the plane crash I cannot perform the errand Mistress entrusted me with; I feel I'm in trouble. When the plane fell I was polishing her favorite Basilisk statuette near the Manor Gates. I was so surprised I dropped it then ran to the crash site. when I returned I looked for a long time but the statuette is nowhere to be found. I wonder if the Mistress put a spell on it so I can only see silhouettes near the Manor Gates. How will I find the Basilisk?
Here it is, this insidious basilisk. Thank you so much for your help. Sorry, but I have to hurry; Mistress may be angry with my absence.
-
Stitch to Stitch
Juliette
After reading the guide a little, I understood that it's easiest to learn how to cross-stitch. I just don't know where to get the special "Aida" Fabric. I'll be very grateful if you could help me find it. You can also choose the pattern that you want.
Thanks a lot! The fabric is of excellent quality and I love the pattern. You have great artistic taste! No wonder Martha praised you as an artist.
-
If a girl asks
Conductor
Do you know Valerie? She's a girl from around here, very curious and active. I like her, though she can be very annoying. I'll acquaint you later but I want to ask a favor, first. Valerie says there's music at the crash site as if a music player is turned on. If it's true, can you get it for me? If not, she'll torment us even more.
That's it; now Valirie will leave me alone. Look, there's Juliette and she looks depressed. Someone else is in need of help.
-
Boggarts - go away!
Detective
The City spirits do not approve of our interest in the plane crash. There are flashes of light and swarming shadows. Wait, those are boggarts, but why are they so worked up? If we don't chase them away we can't continue our investigation. Fireworks will scare away the spirits.
Now it's much calmer here and we can continue. What did Martha ask us to find? I have it written down... Ah, something "small and square" - hmm... Not very exact, I'll have to think.
-
Famous owner of a photo
Martha
You're right, the photograph has a strange aura that's hiding something from view. To solve it we need a revealing solution. Look for it in City Hall.
The revealing solution! That's just what we need. Let's apply it to the photograph... Look! Ah, a face is showing through the image of the UFO. I'm sure it's the photograph's owner due to his aura being imprinted on it. Wait, I recognise him!
-
Mysterious Photograph
Conductor
I was walking by the plane and saw a photograph in the debris. There was something strange on it, but I couldn't see crealy because of the smoke. I tried to pick it up but it was carried away by the wind. Since you have an Oxygen Mask, maybe you can find the curious picture. Be careful not to disturb the boggarts.
I don't get it, what is this? A UFO? A flying saucer? There is an aura about this photograph even I feel, though I'm not a mage. Martha is used to such phenomena, let's ask her.
-
Cup of Coffee
Conductor
What's all this chaos in my Station? The nose of a plane is here, the tail is there, belongings are everywhere and this smoke makes my throat dry so I cannot talk properly. Maybe you could bring me some coffee? Martha, the medium, has some great coffee.
Just what I need! I'd have preferred something stronger, but coffee will do.
-
A Complex Algorithm
Huntress
It's written here that we need to find the pharaoh's ashes, then to sprinkle them on a giled plate and pour a balsamic liquid onto them from a scarab flask. That means that firstly, we have to find the burial urn!
Are you sure this is the urn we need? We don't want to end up using the ashes of an ancient monster!
-
Mysterious Plane Crash
Juliette
A few city residents have gathered around the plane that crashed on the Station. They're pretty excited - such a thing has never happened before. Oddly, this crash coincided with your arrival, though I personally see no connection. There's to much smoke... Do you see that oxygen mask? It'll help us cope with all the smoke, could you fetch it?
This mask is very useful - it'll make examining the crash site much easier. Look, here comes the Conductor.
-
Flame of Passion
Huntress
The fire-breathing dragon that appeared in the mirror could scare anyone, not just a sissy like Juliette. I can imagine which qualities might be in the dragon's fiery nature! Find its embodiment in the temple. Hurry up!
You did it! This vessel holds an inextinguishable flame. Dragons, which have conquered the element of fire, are dangerous and can cause not only fires, but even the eruption of volcanoes. The heat of the soul and the pursuit of perfection - these are the qualities that lead sucu dragons to success, but also make them a bit pompous.
-
Crushing Steel
Isabelle
We're all in danger - the Dark Dragon is about to awaken. Only the Chosen One, who possesses the same qualities as the mighty serpent, can tame it. Steel, silver, gold - are any of these in the dragon's armour? Search the temple for a clue about which quality gives the dragons their metallic nature.
Excellent! This vessel contains the dragon's qualities - common metals. A brilliant mind, perseverance and the desire to achieve goals makes them holders of the inevitable, like the stroke of a blade.
-
Rock Hard
Cardsharp
Here's what the Keeper says about the first test: "To stop the dragon, the Chosen One must be like him. Once every 12 years, when its time arrives, the dragon takes one of its guises associated with one of the five elements. To begin, search the temple for a clue about the qualities the Dragon's nature embodies."
Look, the dragon's earthly nature is contained in this vessel. These dragons, with serpent-like faces, embody their own strength and firm principles. They are connected to the earth and are able to control its expanse, causing earthquakes. Powerful creatures...
-
Wonders in a Circle of Light
Martha
I feel that the temple holds the spirit of its Keeper. We can use the amazing items we found to summon him. For the ritual, I need artifacts carrying the City's magic. The Temple Keeper must explain to us the meaning of the prophecy about the dragon, which threatens us all.
As soon as you placed the artifacts in the temple, smoke enveloped everything around us. I even thought it was smoke from dragon's month. A Chinese Polished Mirror made of white bronze appeared. Such mirrors have remarkable properties. Bring it into the light and send a reflection of sunlight onto the wall. Do you see? There's an image in it of a monk and a scroll with a message. Let's read it.
-
Wisdom and Patronage
Isabelle
You said that the City was full of Demons of Vice? Maybe we shouldn't try and catch them. Might it be better to just force these creatures to leave and go far away ourselves? Let's place some statues of Greek gods that symbolise various aspects of virtue. The demons will feel uncomfortable in their presence and will run away. Let's take Athena, the goddess of wisdom, cities and states as an example. Help us to find her statue.
Athena is depicted with a spear because she's also the goddess of organized warfare and military strategy. This warrior-woman is just right for us - after all, we are at war with the Demons of Vice.
-
Smoking Paraphernalia
Cardsharp
We have some wonderful things for the smoking club. Now all of these things need to be collected into a set. We'll need a special handmade box.
Brilliant! This set will be a real magnet and will attarct true gentlemen from the City of Shadows that appreciate the atmosphere of the club. And, once he has such clients, yours truly will not lose his nerve and will find a way to multiply his earnings. Thank you for your help, here's your reward.
-
A City For an Autograph
Valerie
You have found all the celebrity autographs from the Mayor's collection. The only trouble is, all of them are badly worn and some are even hard to make out. If we return the collection in such a state, the Mayor will be really upset. Use some reagents and arifacts to restore the collection.
I see that you returned the collection to the Mayor and he rewarded you with more than just words of thanks. Was there, by any chance, a jar of jam for me in the reward?
-
Unusual Immunity
Valerie
All that remains is to find Baby Rari's autograph. He's known for the fact that when he was a baby he was bitten by moon werewolves. But he didn't turn into a werewolf himself.
Baby Rari was such a pretty boy. But I doubt it helped him much, with such a poor inheritance.
-
Fears are Confirmed
Cardsharp
My dear friend, I didn't want to bother you about what I've seen but... In the Temple there is a bell held by the statue of a Dragon! Don't laugh, I heard words in the ringing bells. They're probably the chilling prophecy about the City's destruction... Bring me this bell and we can listen together.
It's the dragon's bell for sure. Do you hear it? "Tremble! At the Spring Festival the mighty ruler - the Dragon - will rise above the world! All living things shall bow before it, and the unfaithful will shudder..." You call this 'wise and fair'? And you didn't believe me... A protective shield to all of us.
-
Peaceful Balance
Martha
The Eastern Temple didn't appear in the city on the eve of the Chinese New Year by accident. However, I just can't believe that a dragon - a wise and majestic creature - wants to rise above all others... There should be a Zodiac of animals in the temple. Find it!
Excellent. You found the Zodiac. You can see here that each year, one of the zodiac animals becomes the main animal. They follow each other in sequence, and the dragon is one of them. The dragon is the strongest of all but thanks to its wisdom it doesn't want to rule, which is why it keeps its power in check.
-
Practice Meditation
Huntress
Mein herr, did you forget about the Cardsharp's prophecy about the dragon that threatens the City? We're now in the magical Eastern Temple, and I'm sure there are items here that will help make sense of this prophecy. For instance, look for Singing Bowls. Their voices can tell many secrets to anyone who knows how to listen.
Do you hear the voices of the Singing Bowls? Their song is about a dragon that slumbers in this temple. I'm sorry, but they say nothing about what awaits the City of Shadows on the eve of this year's Spring Festival.
-
Image of the Magisterium
Isabelle
But why did this temple appear in the City? Examine everything carefully. We need to find some kind of unique artifact connected to this place. Look for a magical stone amulet.
Can you believe what you've found? This image of the Pearl of Wisdom, the Chintamani, is similar to the Philosopher's Stone. It holds the secret to peace, harmony and immortality. I'm now certain that this temple is from Shangri-La. A place of eternal life where there is no death, just long sleep.
-
Collect the Ash
Cardsharp
Now, talking of ashtrays, I propose looking for something special, possibly handmade, with a beautiful picture.
You got everything right. You could just stand by this ashtray and admire its decorations.
-
Cut a Cigar
Cardsharp
Basically, I've become a bit absentminded as I'm so busy with the gaming business. I ordered some cigars, and you fulfilled this request. However, I didn't think to order a Cigar Cutter. You will have to correct my mistakes.
That's really good. The simpler and sharper the better. The cutter shouldn't be covered in diamonds,, or they might steal it.
-
Magical Mantra
Detective
My friend, we have to find out who this temple is dedicated to. Intuition tells me that the dragon statue at the entrance, and the Cardsharp's prophecy are somehow connected. In the City of Shadows, such coincidences aren't accidental. Find something that indicates where in the City this temple came from.
What a find! It's a Buddhist prayer wheel. Look how it hovers in the air by itself! It obviously couldn't do that without magic. This temple must be from some magical place in Tibet.
-
Fiery Mysteries
Mayor
What does the prophecy say about the appearance of the fire-breathig dragon? How is it connected to the image of the mysterious winged beast plaguing the citizens on the eve of the Chinese New Year? Clues lie in the mysterious Chinese Temple that has recently appeared in the City of Shadows.
-
Fire in the Pocket
Cardsharp
I have another little request. You found some cigar matches earlier. They're good for pipes as well. However, some visitors can't do without a Lighter for cigarettes. Will you bring one?
Looks like a rare Lighter of some kind. It also looks like it's set with real precious stones. Everyone will be so surprised.
-
Tobacco Storage
Cardsharp
I'd also like to ask you to find some tobacco. I think you'll need to gather a lot of different types to please all of the visitors. I think they'll also need to be immediately put into a pouch. They will keep better and can be carried around if needed.
You haven't just found some elite tobacco, you also found a handmade, exclusive pouch. Excellent.
-
Smoking Pipe
Cardsharp
There are many details to think of in order to create the right kind of atmosphere in a gentlemen's smoking club. First, we need some pipes made out of valuable woods. Could you find at least one for me?
You're really quick on the uptake. There are brier, pear and oak pipes in the collection! There's even a meerschaum pipe. We'll have something to surprise the most sophisticated of visitors.
-
Free the Lord of the Sea
Martha
We must bring the statues that you and the Detective found back to life. We shall hold the ritual on the seahore. You'll understand why we can't do it in my room. Put the sea creature statues in a circle and place the City artifacts nearby. I'll chant the spell.
We've now removed the enchantment from the denizens of the sea and freed the Lord of the Sea. I'll take advantage of the occasion and talk to him. Thank you so much! Take this sea artifact as a gift, it's yours.

True Invisibility
Valerie
It turns out the Mayor contacted the Detective regarding the lost collection. The case file describes exactly whose autographs disappeared. I'm sure I remember that there was a postcard among them with Gilbert Heyer's signature.
I just found out something! Do you know who the mysterious Mr. Heyer was!? He was a real invisible man. That's why nobody ever saw him.

Soldier of the Ocean
Detective
It's time to find the last statue - the soldier of fourtune... It's difficult to imagine who it might be. It must be a fish that can swim without rest for a long time, with excellent camouflage and weaponry... Hmm... What could it be armed with? It could be an Electric Ray! Find an Electric Ray statue!
What a beauty this enchanted Electric Ray is! A real soldier of fortune! We've been very productive. We should visit Martha as soon as we can.

Personal Guard
Detective
The next enchanted servant of the Lord of the Sea is his bodyguard. Could it be a Shark? I don't think so. It's someone else. Someone that's invisible, that you wouldn't recognise as a guard for the sea lord... I know! It's the Siren! Find the Siren statue.
Who would think that this gorgeous sea lady could use her beauty to beguile and cloud minds with her voice? It seems that when they talk of a killer beauty they're speaking of Sirens. Our search has been a success so far.
-
Floating Postman
Detective
It will be easier going forward now that we know how the Lord of the Sea assigns duties. I can even guess who's the postman. It's the Dolphin! With his speed it would be an express delivery!
You deserve every praise again. We found a statue of the Dolphin - the postman of the sea.
-
Adviser from the Ocean
Detective
Don't you think that the adviser to the sea king would be an Octopus? One that is wise cunning, and always hiding in his master's shadow. Shall we try and find it?
We're doing great! I was right. The adviser is an Octopus. But why is it golden? Maybe it's because of the sorcery?
-
Marine Labourer
Detective
Of all the sea servants that Martha mentioned, I can only imagine one - the Labourer. Like a ploughman or workhorse... I got it. The Labourer is a seahorse. We need to find a statue of a seahorse.
Martha was telling the truth - this is not a stone statue. It's an enchanted Seahorse. Well then, worker, we'll take the enchantment off you. We just need to find your fellows in misfortune first.
-
Call of the Fog
Martha
You've collected everything we need for the ritual. Soon we will find out what happened to the lamplighter Jay. Bring me some artifacts. For the ritual, my charms must cross the veil of fog separating the two parts of the City...
I ask the City to reveal what happened to the lamplighter Jay! The glow from the artifacts envelops the collected items... Do you hear that? There's a child's voice coming from somewhere. Is that... a Talking Doll?
-
Twin Brothers
Valerie
We need to write our question with this self-writing Pen and it'll write the answer all by itself. So... Whose autograph do we look for next? The answer is John Maugham's.
I know this story. John is the twin brother of a famous author. You know who, don't you? They say that he's the true author of all his brothers' wirtings. He just couldn't publish them in the City.
-
Get to the Bottom of It
Martha
Halloween is even closer, but Jack still hasn't appeared. Without him, the chain of Halloween events will not begin. Everything points to the presence of vampires. I feel like something happened here. We need to turn to the spirits so that they can give us a sign. Bring a few City artifacts, and I'll be able to perform a ritual.
Look at what the ritual gave us - a notebook. A distinctive notebook, don't you think? It's made in the shape of a coffin. And what's inside? records, plans... It's the Detective's handwriting! Why is he here? So what does it say? Read fast!

Broken Hopes
Rayden Storke
Soon I will find out what happened to Jay. But we need one more item for Miss Martha's ritual. When Jay went mad, I tried to stop him. He pounched on me and knocked the lantern out of my hand. Find this lantern and we'll know the whole truth.
I never thought I'd see these shards again... When Jay broke my lantern, I left the Fellowship - there were no spare ones at the time.
-
Self-writing Pen
Valerie
It seems the Conductor has told us everything he knows. But I've thought of what to do next - a magical self-writing pen will point us to the next autograph.
Crazy little thing. Martha insists that this self-writing Pen knows the answer to every question.
-
A Feather in His Cap
Rayden Storke
When something inexplicable happened to my friend Jay, I was right next to him. Suddenly, for no reason at all, it was like he went mad! He ripped off the lamplighter badge he was so proud of, and broke it. Find this badge.
I couldn't believe that Jay broke his precious badge. Then when I tried to stop him, he hit me...
-
Bribe
Conductor
I don't remember anything about any autograph collection. Sorry I can't help. What's that you have there? Wine? I think my memory may be coming back... Yes, that's it, the Mayor had an autograph of Meredith Vance!
This Meredith is a very amusing character. She thought that gargoyles were a dying species and started a whole campaign to protect them. That's what she became known for.
-
In Search of Information
Valerie
We can't assemble the missing autographs until we find out who they belonged to. the Conductor has been in the City for a long time. For a bottle of wine, he'll tell us whose signature to look for next.
This bottle of wine looks like it should do the trick. I hope we didn't put all that effort into finding it for nothing.
-
Talented Inventor
Rayden Storke
The magic from your part of the City will lift the veil on Jay's disappearance. He was not only zealous but also an inventor of useful tools. Jay made special respirators for the fellow lamplighters. Find the one he made for me.
Jay improved ordinary respirators so that we could breathe for longer in the fog This saved many from memory loss.
-
Interesting Inscription
Valerie
I'm so hapless! While I was hiding my bear, the wind swept up the postcard and took it right into this strange darkness. And I'm absolutely sure I've seen some interesting inscriptions on it. I know that you are not afraid of the dark at all and you won't leave a cute girl in the lurch. Please, bring me back that postcard. Pretty please.
Wow, it's the photo of Beverly Eldridge! And with her autograph, to boot! what do you mean, you don't know who she is. Are you kidding? She's the most famous witch. Martha said she was the inventor of all important spells.
-
Diligent Colleague
Rayden Storke
My friend Jay left the Fellowship and I've always wondered why. After all, he was a very diligent colleague. Jay didn't just patrol regularly, he worked more than the others! Find his pedometer to prove it.
Each lamplighter had to patrol their territory. But Jay used to go around the whole City; he often covered for others, too. With his disappearance, the Fellowship lost a valuable member.
-
Legendary Royal Flush
Juliette
It seems the story about a fiery royal flush, the incredible luck-bringer, is true. You've found all the cards of the mysterious Mr. B, who beat Cardsharp in poker. But it's as if these cards are magnetised and repel each other. Perhaps, it's the result of their long stay in the fog. You'll need a few artifacts to remove accumulated energy and gather a real royal flush.
Ah, monsieur, you really gathered a fiery royal flush! Cardsharp sends a thousand thanks and a promised reward.
-
The Waiting Room Quest
Valerie
Night fell upon the Station of Forgotten Dreams. In the City it isn't just a time of da; darkness thickens suddenly over a house or a section of the City. Night complicates the search for items but offers a chance to find rare artifacts. Could you please find my teddy bear? I dropped it at the Station.
Ah, here's my bear! Right under my nose! We missed it serveral times in the darkness. He's in one piece, but a little dusty.
-
Incredible Luck
Juliette
You've already collected four cards of the legendary royal flush. do you feel luckier now? If so, then you'll easily find the last card - the ace of spades.
You returned with the ace so quickly, monsieur. You say you were just lucky? History doesn't lie!
-
Dark Elegance
Isabelle
I was certain that outsiders couldn't enter Jack's realm. But the discovery of glasses with blood inside says that a vampire couple are freely walking around here. Look around, maybe they left something else behind. Hopefully you won't find anything worse.
Show me. It's a woman's headband! What an elegant little thing. It's decorated with a bat. I don't recall anyone who has worn something like that. A beautiful headband, but there is something repulsive and dark about it.
-
One of Many
Rayden Storke
To find out what happened to my friend Jay, we need to find his belongings related to the incident. As the City's chosen one, I'm sure your talents will be useful here. Let's start with the symbol of the Fellowship of Lamplighters. Jay was very proud when he was accepted into the Fellowship, and his lamplighter patch was very important to him. Let's find it.
You've managed to find the Lamplighter Patch! All lamplighters have one with their name on the back. Now I really believe that we'll find out what happened to him.
-
Anti-Fear Medicine
Mayor
Incredible! You found the possessions of all five heroes. Now we need to bind the aura of the items with a spell so that we get what we need - a Pill of Bravery to return Frau Huntress's confidence and fearlessness. But you should find a few more artifacts first, I'm afraid we won't manage otherwise.
Now that the pill is ready, there's only one thing left to do - make sure the Huntress swallows it. I'm sure you can take care of this. Good luck.
-
Spartacus's Daring
Mayor
While we're gathering up things from the brave heroes, we can't forget about the gladiator slave who broke the Roman legiouns. I'm of course referring to Spartacus. Find the Thracian sica and you'll understand how only a fearless warrior can wield it.
The sword's unusual curve was specially designed that way. The sica was used to strike enemies hiding behind shields.
-
Noble King
Juliette
Do you know why the Queen didn't harm Cardsharp or Mr.B? It's because it was accompanied by the King, which neutralises her baleful influence.
I left the room while you were gone, monsieur. Just in case. But of course, now that you've put the King next to the Queen, I have nothing more to fear.
-
Indian Valour
Mayor
The Native American's had a brave man of their own. You'll need to find the Headdress of Military Fortune, which belonged to the Indian chief Geronimo.
It's easy to see from this headdress that Geronimo was a remarkable warrior.
-
Help from the Homeland
Martha
Where's Jack? With each passing minute I become more worried about the Halloween Spirit. I feel like something bad has happened. All the things that we've found so far have a dark aura. Bring me some of the decorations, I'll try to make sense of it. For example, bring me that strange pumpkin.
Even for Halloween the pumpkin's grimace looks frightening. And what's inside it? Dirt from Transylvania! according to legend, vampires gain strength from the dirt in which they were buried. It seems that we're dealing with Dracula.
-
List of Relics
Huntress
I was searching for some information and I discovered that one of the items is an ancient papyrus sheet showing a full list of the relics we need. So let's get searching!
Mummies know how to take care of anitiquities - the papyrus is in excellent condition. We can read it easily.
-
Crafty Queen
Juliette
It's a good thing I remembered something important before you left to seek the queen of spades. This is a very dangerous card. It can cloud your mind and drive you mad. Be careful.
Ah, I got so exhausted waiting for you. No no, don't show me the Queen. I have nightmares as it is.
-
Gleaming Jack
Juliette
Fortunately, monsieur, it's perfectly clear what you need to find. You found the ten, now you must find the jack of spades.
I hope you're not too tired. These cards shine in the dark and I want to believe that they won't be hard to find.
-
Gathering Dusk
Juliette
Because of your help I found out that the unusual fog that suddenly shrouds locations is completely safe. Moreover, you can spot very rare items in it. I see a rare artifact in the fog. It was the Fiery Card. Find it for me.
I care fully studied the card that you found in the fog. It looks as if it were in flames but it doesnt burn my hands at all. I heard on very interesting story about this card.
-
A Voice from the Other Side
Martha
You've collected all the tools we need to communicate with the Spirits from the beyond. Everthing is ready to begin the ritual to help me penetrate the fog that encircles your life's path with a shroud of secrets. All we have to do now is add a bit of City magic. Can you help me with this?
The City's magic completes the enchanted weave, braided by spells, and a magical scroll materialises on the table. In the scroll are the secrets of your future, as whispered by the spirits. Take it and be careful: knowledge of the future is empowering, but it can be dangerous...

Gaming for the Chosen Few
Cardsharp
I'm going to entertain the most talented players personally. Can you imagine - a separate room with quiet music; where all drinks are on the house. With green baize and unlimited bets. And then I, Cardsharp, will face worthy opponents at last. Thats it, that's what I'll call this stage of the game, for advertising purposes of course. I'll call this stage "The Battle at the Champions' Table'. I would like to offer the job of designing and constructing this table to you.
I don't just see, I can even feel the way I'm going to outplay these lovers of quick profists. The Champions' Table! What a great idea. I feel unbounded gratitude towards you. Here's your reward for your time. Unfortunately, I have to say my farewells. Time is unearned money for me. All the best.
