Slip Away to a Secret Hideaway

You're invited to a girls-only getaway - in the tree house. Here Darnetta, Dana, and the others need your help with important life questions, including family, feelings, and friendships. Pick which girl you'd like to help, then venture through a magical wilderness filled with surprises, clues, puzzles, and secret stones.

Venture into the Unknown
Enter a magical wilderness that's unlike any place you've ever seen. Yet strangely familiar...Like somewhere you've been in a dream...

Solve Surprising Puzzles
What happens if you calm a timid deer? Or track a lizard? Or catch a firefly? Watch and listen, explore and experiment to unlock clues to challenging, multi-step puzzles.

Gather Secret Stones
Solve the puzzles that lead you to the secret stones. Then collect each stone in your pouch.

Unlock the Message in a Story
When you give a necklace of secret stones to your friend, it turns into a tale from a far-away land - a tale with a message for your friend.

So much to see and do:

• Dozens of multi-step, multi-level puzzles to solve
• More than 50 landscapes
• 7 tales from around the world
• 7 girls who share their stories

Games Domain Review, 1997 (by Cynthia A. Sorrels)

"There's no online help here. Purple Moon says that girls told them they preferred figuring out the puzzles on their own. Luckily for us all, they included Puzzle Hints in their Reviewer's package. This title is radically different and according to my oldest daughter, 'very cool'. SHE had no problems figuring out the puzzles, without access to the hints (the hints are available from Purple Moon by email) and spent the better part of the afternoon exploring.

"There's also no 'ending' to this game. The developers have deliberately designed it to be open-ended, so when you do manage to get the necklaces for all 7 girls, don't expect any fireworks. On the other hand, girls aren't 'forced' to finish a path or reach an ending."
