General Gameplay:

This is a very standard hidden object game. Nothing tricky here!
There are two modes, casual and expert. It appears that you can change in and out of expert mode via the options menu.
Hidden object scenes are indicated by sparkles but other items and areas are not.
Cursors: Arrow for changing to a different scene. Hand for picking up something. Magnifying glass for looking at something closer. Lips to talk to a character.
Unusual for any game I have played, you can restore your hints by recharging them. This is done by playing a Match-3 Game. This is a time-limited game and will stop once you have reach the time limit or earned 4 hints. The balls are switched by clicking on one and then the other.
That's pretty much it except for level specific information which you will get below.
