Azada combines elements from a number of casual genres to create a game that's one of the most unique titles I've played in months. Take a point-and-click game such as Myst, then combine it with item hunting from Mystery Case Files and throw in a dash of short puzzles just for fun. Everything is so elegantly combined that you can't help but keep playing, both to uncover the rest of the story and to experience more puzzles.
You begin in a locked room listening to a spirit named Titus who has been imprisoned by his great uncle. In order to release him you must solve a series of puzzles within his manor. Puzzles are presented in the form of pages of a book with eight making up a chapter. As you piece together chapters, more of Titus' story is revealed.
Each page challenges you with a different type of puzzle to solve, ranging from matching games to sliding tile puzzles, memory matching and much more. The most common task you'll undertake is item-hunting, which just happens to be the most enjoyable part of playing Azada. In these levels you'll see a still scene of a room inside the mansion. Move the cursor around and watch for sparkles indicating what you can interact with. Click to uncover items, clues, or new parts of the puzzle you'll need to complete the page. Many of the rooms have a number of items you'll need to find and use in conjunction with each other, creating several "stages" within the page. The difficulty level in these puzzles is fine-tuned to give you just enough challenge to keep you interested but not frustrate you.
Each chapter has a time limit (usually around 30 minutes) that slowly ticks as you play through each page. You can request hints during the item-hunting scenes at the cost of 5 minutes each, but use them sparingly! You are also given a limited number of gems to use that allow you to skip puzzles.
Analysis: Azada plays like a delicious blend of a Myst-like adventure with a casual puzzle game. The story keeps you interested in the long-run, while the variety of puzzles treat you from moment to moment with new entertainment. And it's horrendously addictive.
Unfortunately Azada's greatest strength can also be its main weakness: variety. The item-hunting stages are superb, but every puzzle page you encounter won't be as entertaining. Not everyone likes jigsaw puzzles or memory matching games, which could make some roll their eyes in disgust every time one of these comes around. Fortunately you can use purple gems to skip puzzles, and Azada is forgiving enough to keep the difficulty low so you can complete them and move on to greener pastures.
Azada's presentation is excellent on all fronts. The music and sound effects match the mysterious atmosphere but keep things light-hearted and charming. There are a number of small visual effects that brighten up the scenes and liven-up the otherwise still scenery.
Azada is an alarmingly entertaining game with good variety and a delightful set of puzzles. The Myst-like atmosphere melding with Hidden Expedition-type item hunting makes it extremely addictive, and the slight touch of adventure keeps you in for the long haul.

I am at Level 8. This stupid puzzle where you have to match 3 of the same symbols. I had 28 minutes left and that still was not enough. I have played this damn field for many many times. Time always ends before I'm done and I have to play the whole level again. By the way, why is that, why can I not play just this field again. Very annoying. Am I too stupid and am I missing something, is there a special way to play this field????
PLEASE HELP

Uwe - here's something to give you some practice with it...
http://jayisgames.com/archives/2005/01/set_daily_puzzl.php
The idea is not to find 3 of the same symbols, but rather 3 tiles that differ from each other in color, symbol, or number.

September 24, 2007 2:44 AM
I have the exactly same problem with matching 3 of the same symbols!!! (btw Jay, it's another puzzle, the boring one!!) Apart from that it's boring and annoying, the time always runs out coz it just takes too long!!!!!
Pls help, is there a better or 'clever' way to do it???
P.S. I really love this game, but this puzzle is kind of ruining the fun, hope there's not going to be anything similar in the next version!

Hey!!?? All of you people talking about the "magic book' etc...at the end of the game...can you help the rest of us because we're all stuck somewhere??!! Pls??!!
Me for example, i'm stuck at the CLOCKWORK in chapter 10. I think i m doing everything right, putting the 2 clocks on 12h and the alarm clock on the right alarm time, and all in order that the paper says...AND NOTHING HAPPENS....!!! Except that first of the 4 lights on the box keeps turning green on and OFF....?! Please help, thanks!

As for the clocks, it took me trying about 10 times more, always doing the same thing, and in the end it was ok (??) ... strange...

This game is interesting but i'm having a prob with something that should be easy...the jigsaw puzzle.
I tried to put it together and it won't let me take the last piece that's in the box. I tried it from top to bottom and changed the sides now I have it in the same upright position as the last piece in the box but it still won't let me have that last piece to finish it.Please help, i'm getting frustrated:(

Hi, I am a newbie here. However, I love Azada! I have a secret that will make GrandMatrix games (the people I got the demo from) pull their hair out in frustration. I play the demo until my 60-minute session is over, and then I use System Restore to go back in time! The time is reset to 60, but my save file is intact. If you want to use this to your advantage, please do so.

OK - I have found two puzzles so far where I cannot rotate the pieces or make the ball move on the tabletop with the directional arrow keys. They light up when I click on them (I know the difference between right and left clicking) but nothing happens. I don't have the "skip orb" available to get past this now, so I can't come up with a solution to either puzzle. Anyone else having a similar problem?

Back again - figured out that I have to push BOTH buttons on my mouse at the same time to make some of the controls work, but not every time. Probably just my own computer....
However, I'm on the last screen in the library...got the note, got the vials, followed the directions but the last cupful of stuff has no effect when I try it on the note. I'm sure I'm missing something incredibly easy, but have been trying for a long time to get out of this screen and can't. There's no clock running, so I may be here forever if I don't get a hint.
Please??

Okay, in the library. Easy. You get two numbers. Mine were 20, 74N. So, I just went to 20 (no N or S), then moved my cursor North (upward) until my 20 went up to 20, 74. No need to click on 20. Just go to your first coordinate, stay on that coordinate, then move north or south, whatever is indicated in the second coordinate, until it matches the first number COMMA second number, and there you have it. Drove me NUTS!

i got the balancing act ok except i can't get the dictionary thing to work. it seems like an easy translation, i.e., 2 right, 1 left 2 right, etc. but i try and use it like a combination lock and nothing. do i go around all the way? are the dots on the circle supposed to be like the position of the numbers? help..

Posted by: Mary | October 31, 2007 9:56 PM
Thank you Vicki for the end of the game thing. Never thought to write Big Fish. Man, I loved this game. Can't wait for the next Azada. In the mean time , does anyone have a recommendation for other games? Mortimer Beckett seems to be the only one thats sort of fun. Anyone?
Posted by: Glare | November 1, 2007 10:40 PM
I'm not having much fun with the pawn game. I cannot get it down to 3 marbles. I saw the other posting where someone suggested don't leave any on the edges, I can't figure out how to get them away from the edge. I can get it down to the 5 or 6. Also once timer runs out, do you hurry through the other puzzles first or do you start with the pawn one and if you have enough time go onto other ones?
Posted by: reddeb57 | November 3, 2007 1:26 PM
one thing I have noticed about PAWNS, is that you don't have to go straight up and down or across. you can go at a diagonal too. my problem is, that I can't seem to get it down far enough. I don't know how many I need to get it down to but I know that 3 isn't down far enough. how do I get it further? plus I have not seen where it says how far down to get the balls to.

At the end of the game there is a room with all the puzzles in it, but I only have about FOUR I can play. The rest are greyed out and when I click on them it says "This game needs to be unlocked from the book."

Posted by: veb | November 27, 2007 9:52 PM
i am also stuck in the tomb looking for the second skull. the first time i played this particular puzzle i did not have a problem finding both skulls. i had to start the game over and now i can't find both. i've retried the chapter twice. no matter how many times i exit and re-enter, the second skull is not there. i asked bigfish about it and they claim there is no glitch in the game. the other puzzles do not move the items around. i've noticed that others have had problems with this as well. what can i do without starting all over again?
Posted by: jen | November 29, 2007 8:29 PM
i uninstalled the azada game, reinstalled it and began all over. i'm in the tomb with one skull again!!!! this is so completely frustrating.........can anyone help????????????? this is the third time i've started over. i'm almost ready to try and return this game. HELP
Posted by: jen | December 1, 2007 12:48 AM
Derek,
I had the EXACT same problem you did; in "Shapes", I couldn't rotate the pieces to get them to fit and in "Final Approach", I couldn't guide the "ball" properly. I wrote to BigFish to see if this was a technical glitch, but then I read your post, and went back and tried using both buttons as you indicated.
To clarify, you don't "Click" both buttons at the same time; rather, you hold down one, and then use the other. In "Shapes", this will rotate the pieces, and in "Final Approach", this will move the "ball", but be quick before it rolls too far and goes over the edge.

January 25, 2008 6:38 AM
Jennifer,
For the 5 rings: just ignore the bottom (5th ring) at first. Do the 4 rings the way you've done before only instead of having them end up all the way on the right side, stack them in the middle tower. That will leave your 5th ring still on the left & your right tower empty. Transfer your 5th ring to the right & then go through the process of moving the 4 rings again to the right tower. Hope that helps.

This one took me a while because I wasn't paying close attention to the coordinates. You have to make sure that the number that appears on the left is either positive or negative. If it has a negative sign make sure that the coordinate on the map says negative or you will be looking for a while. The coordinate on the right make sure if it says North or South. For the longest time I thought the "s" was a number 5...lol
7. Once you find the right coordinates move on to the next chapter

CHAPTER 8
THE TOMB
Skull-base of the Sphinx
Hieroglyphics -back of the wall above the sphinx
Click on the vertical tomb that has the 2 scales
Click on the tomb with the mummy lying on top of it
Click on the the mummy's head that's on the coffin
Round wooden piece-in front of the coffin
Place the skull on one of the scales
Click on the end of the coffin and an hourglass will appear
Place the round wooden piece on the wooden apparatus that is located on the side of the coffin and it becomes a dial for the apparatus.
Move the dial so that it points to the first symbol on the wall. Then press the hourglass as many times as is written on the wall, move the dial to the next symbol, move the hourglass again, repeat until the whole code is entered.
Once you finish the code and the skull appears by the mummy's head just place the skull on the other scale
If you're not able to do understand the last part of the instructions there is a way to sort of go around it. Just click the dial on every position until the light shoots to the progress bar for every correct answer. Once you click the dial correctly once it will not penalize your next incorrect attempt. Just keep clicking until you get all the correct codes.
THE DEVICE
Click on the easel
Click on the machine that's on the table a green square with symbols will appear
Follow the pattern that is on the easel onto the machine
that's on the table
Press the fish tank and buttons with symbols on them will appear
The goal here is to program the machine to pick up the crystal that is on the far end of the tank and drop it into receptacle on the left in order to pick up the crystal. I will give you the solution to my puzzle and also how I arrived at that solution just in case the code changes with every game.
Each button corresponds with an action. From left to right:
Button 1- moves the crank to the right
Button 2-moves the crank down
Button 3 moves the crank left
Button 4-moves the crank back up
Button 5-grabs the crystal
Button 6- releases
You should experiment with the commands ad see what they do. Press the first button and the press the green key and see what it does. Repeat that process with every key
Green button on the right executes the commands
Red button on the right clears the program
You have to enter a total of 14 commands to make it work. The code for the one I did was: 1-1-2-2-2-5-5-3-3-3-3-4-2-6
Once the crystal has been successfully picked up, click on the receptacle that is on the left side of the tank to get the crystal. Place the crystal in the silver candle holder looking thing that is next to the machine. Grab the scroll
CHAPTER 9
ALCHEMY
Necklace-on the desk next to the binoculars
Metal stick-next to the box that is on the edge of the desk
Metal stick-far left side of the screen on the floor
Click on the blue hand that is on the wall
Rhere's a machine with a pointed needle located right under the inventory sheet, click on that and place both metal pieces under it. Once you place both pieces hit the lever to activate the machine
Once the metal pieces have been soldered, place it on the yellow and black fuse box that's on the wall. Keep clicking on the stick until the red button turns green.
Take the necklace and drag it on the wall until the noise gets louder and the amulet starts to have orange rays coming out of it.
The second metal piece appears, push it into the fuse box until the other light turns green.
BALANCING ACT
Click the scale that's on the floor( right side of the screen under the torches)
Click the gold statue that's on the black column
Pick up the stones that are located between the 2 torches on the right side of the screen. The goal here is to place stones that equal the weight of the golden statue. The way you achieve this is placing stones and the scale and trying to figure out if their combined weight equal the weight of the golden statue.
You can only place a maximum of 3 stones on the scale at a time
I can't give you an exact number on this one because I had to do it several times and the answer was different each time. Once I placed 2 stones and the other time I placed 3 stones
The best way to figure it out is to place the idol on scale and watch where the white line falls under the scale, that's you want to strive for. The white line has to fall just under the scale for it to be correct
Return the golden statue to the first black column. Once you weigh the stones keep putting them on the 2nd black column, once its correct the wall will open up and a code will appear.
Once you're finished with that, you have to translate the writing using the dictionary found on the wall, then move the dial according to the translated writing. The code for this one changes as well but I will tell you the one I came up with and maybe that will help someone.
Take the circle and watch the markings, starting from the top being the number one. I landed on these markings. 7- 2- 8- 3
You can do like I explained on "The Tomb" puzzle above and keep clicking until you move the progress bar. Then click the scroll

You have to ring clocks in that order, the cuckoo clock and the soldier clock by setting the minute hands to 12. Ring the alarm clock by setting the hands to match that alarm time shown on
LAST PUZZLE: UNTITLED
Click the paper that is on the right side of the screen
The clue says red twice and green once. Collect the three retorts, a blue, red and yellow and the bowl
Click the red twice on the paper and then combine yellow and blue in the bowl and click the bowl on the paper.

These are for the genemini puzzles, see above for Chapter One thru Ten, hopefully it posted ok, and that it helps someone! This is in 2 parts, will try to get it in order.
Most of the mini puzzles in the game are straightforward and self-explanatory. I will give you tips on the ones that I consider the hardest or just the ones that a few simple tips might help you finish the game faster. If anyone has a question that has not been answered in this walkthrough, please feel free to e-mail me with questions and I will do my best to answer them.
SQUARES: Click on the dots and the machine will do the same. Take your time and
watch the steps the computer is doing. If you click the wrong one the computer
can get ahead of you by forming many tiles quickly.
SLIDERS: This game looks hard at times but if you get in the habit of moving
the pieces most of the time at the top or bottom of the screen, it should allow you
to move your piece out
TORN-UP IMAGE: Just a simple puzzle, always do the edges first and you should finish quickly.
CONNECT THREE: It's a match 3 game which most of us are familiar with. In this one
you have to click the tiles not slide them lie in most match3 games. The pieces don't have
to next to each other to click on them, as long as the edges are touching you can
match them. If you don't find too many matches just keep hitting refill and it will
change the pieces on the board
ROUND AND ROUND: I've never played this game before even though I had seen versions of it. The main thing to remember if there are pieces that are close together, do the ones that are in the corners and at the bottom first. Move the pieces higher by locking them into the highlighted squares.
THE PIPES: Just remember that you can use the small floating pieces to close the ends of the pipes.
THE ROBOT: You should calculate your moves quickly but smartly. Don't forget to program the arrows on the floor on top of the batteries. You can lay down arrows many steps at a time but if you hear beeping and your arrows start to flash, it means that you have to reprogram those buttons because they are about disappear and the robot will hit the wall.
BUILDING BLOCKS: Main thing to remember is that the bottom tile is always yellow, the 2nd tile is always grey and the 3rd tile is always dark wood. If the picture on the right is a bit confusing then follow the numbered sequence on the bottom left.

Continued:
THE CHEMICALS: Click on any color and watch the paper on the right, it will have a series of symbols on it. Let's suppose you click on the color red and an x comes on the white page then the color red is not the first color of that code. You then click the color green on the page, now a check-mark appears next to the color green. That means that green is the first color, now you need to find the second color. Click on yellow, if an x appears next to the check-mark then yellow is not the second color.
The page will now start on a different line. Click the green first because we have already established that it is the first color. Then click on the color purple, now you have 2 check-marks so you know that green is the first color and purple is the second color. Keep experimenting with colors until you get 4 check-marks. Once that is completed a number will appear on the screen just turn the dial on the lock to match the numbers on the screen.
PAWNS: The best way I found to achieve this one when it asked you to have only two pawns left was to eliminate the corner pieces first and work my way so that most of my pieces end up in the middle
MATCHSTICKS: This one gets me most of the time, the best tip I can give you is move the sticks around until one of them falls in the right place by flashing and just work around that piece and pay attention to what the instructions say about what shape it wants and what are the minimum amount of pieces that you have to move.
HOPE THIS HELPS!

This was an awesome Game. Got everything first time around except I ran out of time on one of the chapters. Has anyone heard about the next game? I so want to play it! Phae's explanation is awesome! However the clockwork one was different on mine, so there may be some differences in what people get. But Have fun and don't let the game get to you!

Hi, I am in the library and am having some problems. I did everything I needed to, to get the cooresponding letters but when I get the corrdinares and click nothing happens. My son also has this same problem. Is there something we are missing? The first coordinates were D and J. I have read all the discussions on this game but haven't seen an answer to this question.
