HIDE AND SEEK
Edwina Brown
Adventure Probe
Spectrum 48
This is a cleverly-written, interesting game. It has obvious clues and
more complicated ones. There is some retracing of steps needed, but not
enough to frustrate you.
Hedda has stolen the alphabet and you need to find all 26 letters. Not
all the letters will be in their usual form but tapping them with the
wand will show you as they really are. The satchel is only for the
letters.
HELP gives a list of verbs.
