Barrow Hill: Curse of the Ancient Circle Hints

Matches

  • 1 of 14: This item is lying around on the ground in the service station area.
  • 2 of 14: It's near the motel.
  • 3 of 14: Just to the right of the motel is a picnic table near the steps that lead up onto the motel's front walkway.
  • 4 of 14: Move forward to where you could turn and go up the walkway, but instead face the left end of the picnic table.
  • 5 of 14: Move the cursor to where you can zoom in on the bottom part of the screen.
  • 6 of 14: In the shadows just to the left of the picnic table's bench on your side is a box of "CATS" matches that you can pick up.
  • 7 of 14: Actually, there are two other spots from which you can pick up that box of matches.
  • 8 of 14: Go into the "gents" restroom at the back of the service station area and look around.
  • 9 of 14: Go to where you can click the Zoom In cursor on the stall with the toilet in it.
  • 10 of 14: The box of matches is setting on top of the toilet.
  • 11 of 14: Or go to the spot where you can zoom in on the rightmost of the three trash cans that are outside the cafe.
  • 12 of 14: If you turn right while standing in the spot where you can zoom in on the toys scattered on the ground near the abandoned car, you can get the Zoom In cursor on the trash cans.
  • 13 of 14: Zoom further in on the nearest trash can, and there the box of matches will be.
  • 14 of 14: NOTE: It really is the very same box of matches in all three places. Once you pick it up from any location, it'll disappear from the other two locations. Now *that's* spooky!
