About Return to Ravenhearst: The Maps y All images are annotated screen shots from the Big Fish Games production: “Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst” (R2R). y The R2R Maps may or may not contain puzzle solutions or tips, they are only presented as an aid to the player in navigating among the many sites in the game.

Using the Maps y Each Map starts at the bottom center of the page. y Compass directions (N, E, S, W) are not related to game play. The arrows are only to help you understand how the scenes are linked to each other. y small blue circles with numbers # indicate a link/connector to another Map. y To enjoy the game best (your first time through), don’t look at Maps for areas that you haven’t yet reached. Some things have been left out (deliberately) not to spoil your enjoyment of the game. y Each Map contains most of the locations you can see at the stage of the game you have reached. Usually, you must solve a puzzle, play a mini-game, or complete a task in order to continue to the next Map. y There are no one-way links—you can’t get trapped in a location without a way out. y If you already know the answers (from previous game play) to some of the puzzles, you don’t need to repeat the steps you used to find them. Be careful, though, some puzzles change each time you play. y Inventory items, however, ARE required to finish the game. y You might want to print out the maps (but don’t peek) and keep them handy while you play. You can mark off your progress and note the inventory items you pick up at each location.

Note: The hyperlinks might not work right in this version. I’m WORKING ON IT—Z ☺

Important Disclosures about the R2R Maps y You might need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader v. 5.0 (or better) to properly display this file in your browser or Acrobat software. The Maps file has not been tested with other Acrobat-Compatible readers (for example FoxIt, etc.) y There are several HYPERLINKS (the little blue circles) that are supposed to jump to other Maps when you click on them in the PDF. They may not be working properly, in all cases, in this version. y In order to get the Maps (finally) published, we released it with those unfinished hyperlinks in place. A newer version will correct those problems and be posted ASAP. And you’ll probably just print out the maps, anyhow. y This is a labor of love for the game's many fans, and is also a Work-InProgress. (And, hey, it's FREE!) y Many thanks to everyone involved in helping with the project! y “Mystery Case Files: Return to Ravenhearst” is a product of Big Fish Games. y GO PLAY, already! – AND HAVE FUN!
