Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate - 10 Tips and Tricks
November 11th, 2007 by admin
Thank God the weather was awful today, so I stayed home all day long. I’ve been playing Madame Fate for three hours now, and passed a couple more episodes.
By the way, thank you for your interest in my MCF: Madame Fate - First Impressions. In 11 hours the article was pingbacked for three times.
Not bad for a newbies like us, Heidi.
Yeah, I forgot to tell you a very important thing: Big Fish games offer Strategy Guide for Mystery Case Files: Madame Fate.

This full walkthrough that contains explanations might be useful for persistent players who are set to solve all the puzzles right here and now, but I am determined to make it to the end myself.
So, I’ve worked out several tips and tricks that will hopefully help you smell the “direction” of the puzzle. Certainly, I will appreciate it if you add your own tips and tricks.
1. Some I Spy(i.e. hidden object) levels hide one more level inside. For instance, once you’ll click on a admission office at circus entrance or a suitcase on top of the roof - you’ll find yourself playing a new hidden object level. Don’t miss these rooms - they may hide about a dozen of hidden objects.
2. These levels-inside-the-levels(let’s call it “babushka levels” he-he), feature very tricky hidden objects. To give you an expample, you need to find a “repaired chain” , yet on the game field you see just the torn chain pieces. So, click on each of them, and you will get “the repaired chain”.
One more example can be seen below. You are asked to find a “well-fed kittie”, yet all you see is just a cat and cat food. Drag a package of cat food to the cat’s plate, and it’ll become well-fed. This is it! but it made me scratch my head for 20 minutes first time I was playing the “babushka level”!
3. Some hidden object items look like you’ll never expect them to look. So, if you’re asked to find a pig, it can be the word “pig” on some banner, not the image of a pig.4. BTW, I’m now playing the level with the Art the Carny Man, and I’m required to find B’s. So, it does not only mean all the letters B on the picture, but also bees(insects). Oh, cunning Big Fish!!! hehehe
5. The introductory I spy levels may hide an extra time bonus behind some hidden object.
6. When you’re on introductory I Spy level (the second level in the beginning of each episode), observe the game field for the changing objects. This is one more bonus!
7. Word puzzles are aimed at testing your IQ. Thus you’ll be required to swap the letters and form several words that mean the signs of Zodiac, or swap the leters in the table so you’ll form 6 words horizontally and verticaly at the same time(see below).
8. In case you’re stuck, you can use hints(there are 5 of them for each episode). In the latest version, hints only make the whole thing more complicated, as they show you the area where you can find one of the clues.
9. Don’t click randomly - or you’ll be penalized for 30 seconds.
10. Luckily, you can skip the last “get-everything-yourself” puzzles. But in such a case, the time for your next episode is reduced.
This is it so far. But I’ll play further, and will publish more hints for the game.
