If only we could burn down the Vindictive Villa. Here we go. The Curse of the Villa.

Do you want everything to go wrong in real life. I suggest you visit the villa. Just had to get that out of the way. It is a big part of why it took so long to finish. Now here is the real scoop on the (que eerie music) the Villa-a-a-a!

What makes the Villa so hard?

1. The Villa has 50 objects to find. Each object has 6 places each they like to hide. That is 300 hiding places in total for each screen. Add to that each object also has an alternate image not including the ones for morphs mode and you get the picture.

2. The Villa favors MATCH MODE, DARK MODE, and MORPHS MODE.

3. The objects in this room are just tiny, semi transparent, and worst of all some of them do not light up in MATCH MODE to let you know if there is a match or not. Both of the symbols do NOT get the glow that says yeah I have a match somewhere.

4. The camouflage in this room is better than in any other room hands down.

What we learned from the Villa.

1. Open the Wiki page to the Villa (thanks Nisha). Either study the page and all the locations before you go into the Villa or option two. What we did until we learned where objects were. We left the page open while we played the room. Anytime we couldn't find an object we paused the game looked at the part of Wiki page we needed (it had all the locations of everything) went back to the game and found what we looking for. After awhile we didn't need the page anymore. It saved us having to take bunch of screen shots.

2. Do NOT waste a seekers star, eagle eye, or even an all seeing eye on the pile of crap collections they give for arguable the hardest room in the game. The Best collection you can hope to find in the Villa is the "Don't Pull Your Hair Collection". Unfortunately we did not find that Collection and are now both bald!

Basic Tips.

1. Objects really favor the mirror.

2. If an objects is white it will 90% be on something white. Same with all colors. If you are looking for some blue look on something blue and so on.

3. The symbols like to hide on cracks either on the walls or on the mirror. Sometimes on cracks behind a moving plant.

4. Do Not be afraid to use Zoom. Zoom is your friend.

5. We used more Magic Lanterns than anything else. Something that we rarely used before this room. Have plenty on hand.

6. I would suggest doing this room in doses. Visit a little every day. Then when you were close do a big push at the end to finish it off.

7. Have a Wiki Gang of friend to cheer you on and make you feel like a champ! Thanks so much everyone!
