Simon the Sorcerer 3D Hints

General Information

  • "Simon the Sorcerer 3D" is an adventure-puzzle game.  You will need to explore as much as possible, look for potential puzzles to solve, and take careful notes.   This hint file will help you with puzzles you may encounter, but it may not always describe them in detail.  It is not intended as a "walk-through."

    Try everything that makes sense, then try things that don't.  Interaction with objects will often be dependent on some particular action that you may or may not have already done.  In other words, coming back to an object or person later in the game may provide additional interaction that was not available at that earlier point.

    Be patient.  Explore.  "Simon the Sorcerer 3D" is fairly non-linear; you can move around and explore different things, in different orders.  If you are stuck in one spot, move on to another.  However, you will often not be able to progress beyond the point where you are until you have solved a particular puzzle or picked up a specific object.  If you reach a point where you cannot think of another puzzle that needs solving, try looking around for something new to pick up or interact with.
