## Description
While enjoying her vacation, Sandra reads a newspaper ad promoting a new game
show competition with a prize of one million dollars. She sends an e-mail to
the address provided on the page, and promptly receives a confirmation letter
with an enclosed airplane ticket for Beijing. Still a bit suspicious, she
gingerly embarks on the world tour, encountering a series of bizarre
situations, and cryptic clues to puzzles that must be solved to continue the
voyage and win the money.
_Million Dollar Quest_ is a hidden object game by NevoSoft that employs the
same engine used on their previous seek-and-find titles. The overall design is
also recycled from their earlier efforts, where the player has to perform a
series of tasks on locations usually presented as one static screen filled
with assorted items.
The location objectives appear at the top of the screen besides the inventory,
listing a series of objects that have to be found and clicked on the scenery
or describing some action that has to be accomplished on the location. Some
objects have to be pushed aside to reveal a hidden item, while others have to
be dragged and dropped on top of each other to perform an action. For example,
a key can be dragged and used on a lock to open a compartment. In some scenes,
the goal is to place back missing objects by dragging them from a box to their
shadow silhouettes on the scene. The hint button is a light bulb that
highlights the position of one of the required items when activated, but takes
some time to recharge after use.
Mini-games appear on certain places, with most being implementations of old
concepts and classic games like hangman, jigsaw puzzles, a spot-the-
differences game with two similar photos, the familiar “three cups and a
marble” visual challenge where the player must select the correct cup after
they stop moving, a simplified version of Battleship with infantry pieces, and
other similar challenges.
