CLUES: Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego - Treasures of Knowledge
You can't get to the puzzles until you find all of the clues. To find them, pay close attention to those situations when the game zooms in on something. Move carefully around that scene and the magnifying glass cursor will pop up the clue.

CLUES: Barbie Magic Genie
The clues for all the cities are randomized, and change from game to game.
For the Cloud City, the player must visit both girls/genies in order to trigger all of the clues. One of the girls/genies is in one of the rooms. There is another little girl/genie out in the city who the player should visit. The little girl will ask the player to help find her missing red ribbon. Once you return the ribbon to the girl, she will give you a horseshoe.
The other horseshoes are located throughout the city. The girl may have to ride her magic carpet to search for a horseshoe that is located in a high place. The other horseshoes will be around the city, perhaps behind a potted tree or even hidden in clouds. If the players rub their magic bottle, they can make the clouds rise and may find one of the clues.

    I have recently listed the producers' web sites of some of the games. First you have to look for the producer's name at the end of the review and then go that producers web site, listed under Game Demos and Tips. Usually there are demos and hints on these sites, but you often can also order games from them.

    Lou sent in these tips.
    You can try a couple of times to defuse the bomb. There are only four wires near the digital timer. Start with yellow (I won't tell you the rest) and keep redoing it until you get it right. Use Second Chance to get back into the game. Sometimes you need it to be night to do some things. You can change night into day by going upstairs in Maggie's apartment. You will never find Millie's login so I will tell you. You have to peel back the corner of the back cover of the prop book.
