10 Gnomes episode 3: Early Spring Garden
10 Gnomes episode 3: Early Spring Garden has been released! The third installment in the 10 Gnomes series by Submachine author Mateusz Skutnik continues the point-and-click "find the gnome" gameplay that holds our attention for precisely ten minutes. The goal is simple: click your way through a photographic landscape searching for hidden cartoon gnomes. You only have ten minutes to find all ten, so speed is just as important as a sharp eye.

Walkthrough
Main Scene:
Bamboo chimes on the tree
the pot in the main scene has a gnome hiding in the left hole, you have to pixel hunt for the right spot to click his eyes
far right on the chair
to the left of the main scene there is the way to the garden path and a little to the right there is a garden area in which there's a thing like a mole repellent, there's a gnome behind there
on the main garden screen on the lower part of the fence you can zoom into a disposable planter and there's a gnome underneath that
Shed Scene:
Through the path on the far left, to the fence
and then near the bottom on the left corner
To the left of the last gnome he'll be sitting on a pile of wood on the lower edge
To the right of middle gnome he'll be hiding in a drain pipe with just his eyes showing
near the drain pipe there's another pipe on the wall, behind that one is another gnome. this one takes a little bit of pixel hunting to find him
Tall Fence To The Right of The Shed Scene:
The last gnome is on the scene where the tall fence is and there is a sign that read NR306 click that and then you'll see the gnome but when you click the hot spot it will look like it disappears, drag the mouse to the left til you see him sitting on the metal box
This was a real treat to get my mind off the design work I should be doing. I always enjoy the "10 gnomes" games and this one feels so much more seamless than the other two. I always wish the gnomes would become funky colors after you click on them...just to make me laugh.
However, I did notice that:
It is difficult to click on the gnomes who are only showing their eyes and some scenes like the one with the drainpipe. Perhaps this could easily be fixed.
Thanks for posting this JohnB.
I liked the path in that one. I managed to find all 10 on my own. I think that's a first. :)
Easiest gnomes so far. Found them all in 3 minutes time. Much less then i needed for the first 2. Was still a fun gnomes :)
As with all of Mateusz's games it's just very peacful to play and it slows you down enough to take in both the art of the photography and styling and the fact that you're quite happily and leisurely looking for little Gnomes.
Reminds me of being a child in the garden.
Oh those days *sob*
What an awesome way to start the day. I even managed to find them all myself, this time...maybe the secret is to play this game before having coffee?
In any case, this is another wonderful installment of the gnome series. The only tricky bit is that some of the hotspots are really small and it can take a bit of luck to land in the right place, but that doesn't really negatively affect the gameplay at all as long as you're patient.
Either I'm getting better at this or this one was easier (please say its the first!) because I managed to finish this all on my own! But the
drainpipe and the urn/pot with only the eyes showing
were hard to click.
Never played this game before, but I scored 10605 points! :) So I had 6:05 left? Not bad for a hide-and-seek game, especially for a nitwit like me!
This one was the eastiest by far!! i did it all by myself and got a score of 10517! yay for me!!!
Definitely the easiest so far, but so beautiful, as usual. What, no scary hand this time?
More Mateuscz please!
Oh, I just saw on his page that it takes him only one day (!!) to make a new episode of 10 gnomes:
"Would you believe that after completing the engine for 10 Gnomes it takes me one day (1) to create another episode? Go shoot some pics in the morning and put them together in the afternoon. Add some gnomes in the evening and voila! :D"
It must be nice to be so talented. ^_^
Joye - lately, every time you comment you post 2 identical comments. How are you doing this? I try to prevent it, but you seem to be able to do it consistently every time. :(
That was fun :o)
This was the first one where I was able to find all 10 gnomes. I went back to play episode 2. Much more difficult.
I love these little gnome games, theres something so calming about them. I guess I had 5:51 left when I found all of them!
I think this one was a lot easier than the other 2, but maybe I just looked more and explored the different scenes being more careful not to miss a spot to click.
I finished it with about 7 minutes left, and all on my own! YAY!!!
I'm finding this third one unplayable, even with the walkthrough. The view keeps getting stuck at the scene with the plant pots, and I'm also unable to find the gnome in the pot. I'd pixel hunt if there was something to spot - but a printscreen shows that there's just blackness there. :(
Looks like I happened to be playing it while the site was suffering from technical problems, or something. It's working now, and I finished it (with a little help ;D)
Nothing here, but I think they should make a 6th one, since they already have a 5th one.
wow that was easy. I got all of them on my first try.
No, I don't feel any peaceful at all. Just that I reminded about the 10 Gnomes 'Walk In The Park'. That f**king hand frightened me! But on the other hand, I like the gnomes. They're kind of cute.
:-D
