Characters
Waldo
The hero of our story. Having traveled to so many different places, Waldo is finally taking
on the one journey he’s never attempted: learning more about himself. After meeting
Wizard Whitebeard, he embarks on a quest to find 12 ancient scrolls, which may help
him in his goal of self-discovery.
Wizard Whitebeard
A wise and gentle magician who imparts his knowledge to the younger generation.
Wizard
Whitebeard will be by your side the whole time so follow his guidance. One bit of
advice however: don’t mind this wizard’s funny side – he’s known for his slightly
befuddled
brand of humor!
Wenda
Wenda is currently training under Wizard Whitebeard in hopes of becoming the world’s
finest
explorer someday. Apart from her studies, she has a keen eye for photography and is
always
carrying her camera. When you receive reports from Wenda, you’ll participate in an
exercise she
calls 'Lost Photos.'
Woof
Your loyal canine friend. If you have a bone for Woof, click on Woof should you
have trouble looking for something. He is also a very clever dog with a penchant for
puzzles
and brain teasers. He’ll want to play a game or two of 'Spot the Difference' with you.
Odlaw
Watch out for this fellow! A dastardly trickster and a wily conniver, you never know when
he’ll show up and spoil your day. His plans to thwart Waldo and friends include
unleashing a mess of Swamp Creatures to overrun each locale. But you’ll be there to
stop him!
Menus
Main Menu
Single Traveler: Begin the journey with Waldo in this one-player game.
Options: Adjust the audio settings or view the game’s credits.
Journey Log Menu
After choosing Single Traveler, proceed to the Journey Log menu. This displays all of
your game files, or Journey Logs. During the game, your progress is automatically saved
to the Journey Log of your choice.
There are three options:
Create New: To start a brand new adventure, select an empty Journey Log. Next, you
will be taken to the Edit screen, where you can enter your name using the letter keys
provided. The selected Journey Log will use your name as the name of the file. Select
the Checkmark icon to continue.
Edit: Change the name of your file by selecting the Edit option and then choosing the
Journey Log you wish to edit. You can also change the character face assigned to your
Journey Log.
Delete: Select the Delete option and then choose the Journey Log you wish to delete. A
warning message appears to confirm your selection before the Journey Log is reset to
empty.
Options
The Options menu uses movable sliders to adjust your volume preferences. Click the
mouse on the corresponding option icon and slide it back and forth to adjust the
volume.
There are three options:
Music: Adjust the volume of music in the game.
SFX: Adjust the volume of sound effects in the game.
Voice: Adjust the volume of voiceovers in the game.
the Game
Your journey takes you across 12 strange and unique worlds. Each one is full of exciting
quests for you to complete. Your goal is to find Waldo and any hidden items as quickly
as you can!
After every quest you are given a star rank. The better you are, the higher your rank will
be. Can you achieve a five-star rank for every quest? With Wizard Whitebeard’s tutoring
and a little practice, you never know…
In-Game
Interface
Search Window: The search window displays every character and hidden item that you
need to look for. New hidden items will be continuously added here until you come to
the end of your quest.
Star Meter: Watch the star meter carefully, as it decreases over time. Once it is empty,
all the stars will fade away. The goal of each quest is to retain as many stars as you can.
If you achieve a five-star rank, Wizard Whitebeard will present you with a special gift as
reward for the highest possible achievement.
Hint Window: By clicking the mouse button on Woof, you will be aided in your search
for the hidden item currently highlighted in your Search Window. As you move the
screen, Woof will let you know when you are close to the hidden item. Listen for his bark
and watch for the glow around your cursor. Try to find as many Woof Bones as you can in
order to keep using this ability.
Map Tracker: This is a miniature version of the map. It will track your current position
and allow you to see the entire map with just a quick glance.
Waldo’s Worlds
After every quest you complete, you’ll return to Waldo’s Worlds, the central hub of the
game. Entering this area allows you to receive updates from Wizard Whitebeard and
Wenda. More importantly, after meeting certain in-game conditions, your next
destination will be revealed and the journey will continue. Each destination appears by
its own landmark, identifying each unique world. To see which area you will travel to
next, simply click the mouse button on the Quest Bubble hovering over a particular
landmark and you will be transported there magically!
Globes
During your travels, you may uncover mysterious and powerful objects called Globes.
These Globes contain magical properties which, for a limited time, can either enhance
your searching skills or hinder them – it just depends on which type of Globe you find!
Some globes may even require you to perform specific actions with the mouse in order
to carry out the effect! Just watch for the mouse animations that appear on the screen
whenever a globe is activated.
