Hidden Chronicles – Quest Guide One

Zynga expanded its stable of games in January, 2012, with the release of its first hidden object game, Hidden Chronicles. Combining traditional hidden object gameplay with estate building and minigames, Hidden Chronicles offers its players a well-rounded take on the popular genre. For more information on the game, here’s a review.

This guide covers the first quests that are available after players complete the introductory tutorial. More guides will follow, as I complete more quests.
