Find Joe: Secret of the Stones is the prequel game to Find Joe: Unsolved Mystery. While the first game followed Sheriff Jones and his investigation of the mysterious disappearance of a boy named Joe, this second game follows Margaret Garcia, the author of the book Joe read that led him to an alternate world.

At the start of the game, Margaret Garcia was only a student with a curious mind. After witnessing a meteor crash during one of her classes, an agent approaches her in an attempt to silence her. Finding the situation suspicious, she starts her own investigation and uncovers a secret that can change the world and everything they know about it.

Created by the same makers as Mary’s Mystery: Hidden Object, this game is a mix of sci-fi fantasy and mystery thriller. While the game is mostly a hidden object game, it will challenge how creative your brain is in solving certain puzzles that require more than one or two steps to obtain the object you need. While facing tough mini-games and puzzles can be exhilarating and entertaining to some players of the genre, it can also be frustrating for some who are casual gamers or not used to this level of difficulty.

And although purchasing hints is always an option, the ones the game gives isn’t always direct or easy to understand. Because of this, we at Level Winner have decided to make a guide that any player of any level can use to help them get out of the trickiest of puzzles so they can move forward and get one step closer to learning more about the secret of the stones.
