Three Cards to Midnight
 

by Martijn Muller

GENERAL TIPS

• When there are multiple keywords, select one of the keywords before clicking an item. For instance, if you have the keywords “light” and “key”, and you want to click on the sun (sunlight), make sure the keyword “light” is highlighted, or the game will think you are trying to make a wrong combination, in this case “sun key”.
• Try to make whatever word combination you can find, regardless of the keyword. Just switch between them when you find an item. There's no need to find items keyword by keyword.
• Sometimes, you will find an item that applies to more than one keyword, such as “sunday” and “sunlight”. You can click this item under any of the keywords it applies to.
• At the end of each chapter, you will see an overview of how you did in that chapter. You can choose to replay certain locations to improve your rating and have a better chance of winning the game. If you want to continue to the next chapter, simply click “resume”.
• The intro-level, and the puzzles, are the same in every difficulty-level.

WALKTHROUGH

As most levels have multiple keywords, in this walkthrough you will find items encircled with different kinds of colors. The color of the item to find, matches up to its keyword. So if you see a red-circled item, click it while have the red-circled keyword active.
