In Phantasmat – Crucible Peak it’s your job to find out what exactly is going on, uncover the resort’s dark secrets, and escape if you can!
In this guide, we provide tips and tricks that are perfect for those moments when you find yourself frustratingly stuck, or if you want to be taken by the hand through the game step-by-step!

General Tips & Tricks
All right, let’s get started. Shall we?
Difficulty: When you begin the game, you’ll discover that there are at least three (3) difficulty settings. As with many other games, you’ll see that there’s casual (easy), advanced (medium difficulty), and hard. During gameplay, you can easily change these settings from the options menu.
Objectives and Tasks: In the lower left-hand corner of your screen you can click on “tasks.” This will reveal a list of goals that you must achieve in order to move forward in the game. You can also see which objective is current “right now.”
Navigation Arrows: As you unlock new areas and find yourself able to move forward to new and exciting areas, navigation arrows will appear. You should click on them to move to the next screen.
Your Trusty Magnifying Glass: If and when your cursor changes into a magnifying glass icon, it means there is something at which you should take a closer look. Here’s a hint … zoom in on the area when you see this icon!
Your Inventory: This can be found at the bottom of the screen. You can also reach it through a quick keyboard shortcut. Just tap (B). You may not see your inventory initially, so you can hover your mouse over the bottom of the screen to bring it up. If that annoys you, locking it in place is always an option. You can easily do this by clicking on the padlock, which you will see to the left of the inventory bar. You can also make the things in your inventory easier to see by clicking on the magnifying glass, which is also to the right of the inventory bar.
Hand Cursor: You can pick up items in this game when your cursor turns into a hand. Once you pick something up, you can add it to your inventory or interact with that item in one way or another.
Skip Button: If you find yourself having too much trouble during a mini-game, and you feel like moving forward without working through it, you can simply click the skip button. Hint: To make the game more fun to replay, these mini-games are puzzles are often randomized.
Get Hints: These are found in the right hand corner of your screen near the bottom. If you find yourself stuck, you can click here to get a hint. However, once you use one the game forces you to wait a while before you are able to use another.
Scenes with Hidden Objects: When you encounter these scenes, any areas with a hidden object will sparkle. Blue objects are right there in plain sight. White objects are actually hidden, and you must do something “more” in order for you to find them.
These general tips should get you started. Read on for a walkthrough of each level’s gameplay!
Phantasmat – Crucible Peak Walkthrough
Chapter 1: The Resort
Welcome to the resort! First thing’s first. You need to get the flare pistol. There’s a rodent in this area, and you need to scare it off. Do that by clicking on it. Then go get the ski part. You should see a bunch of equipment here. You need to zoom in and check everything out. You’ll need the rope with the safety fastener, so grab that and add it to your inventory. Then go look over the edge of the cliff.
Phantasmat – Crucible Peak – Chapter 1
Ok, now that you are looking over the edge of the cliff, you’ll notice you can’t see anything. Time to get rid of the darkness! Here’s where you use the flare pistol. Now that you can see, use your rope with the safety fastener and climb down the cliff.
You hit the ground at the bottom of the cliff. Now what? You’ll see a bottle with water lying in the snow. Go grab it and add it to your inventory. Grab the ski pole. Add it to your inventory too. Next, take a good look at the sign standing next to the ramshackle cabin. Don’t forget to grab the ski glove, and then head back up the cliff by climbing the rope.
Right, now you find yourself back at the top. You’ll see a backpack hanging on a tree. Use your ski pole to snag it. Go back down the rope, and then select the backpack to access a hidden object scene!
Inside the hidden object scene, you need to locate all items on the list you’ll see at the bottom of the screen. (Interestingly, you can switch from the hidden object scene here to the Match 3 Mode. You can see this option at the top of your screen.) Anyway! On with the hidden object scene. Open the backpack’s pouch to discover a whistle. Take it and then open the thermos. Pour the coffee. Don’t forget to open the flap of the backpack to find the sock and flashlight. Take them and add them to your inventory. Once you have these you will earn a cup! Take it, and then exit this area by climbing up the rope, and then walk down.
Next you’ll see a bunch of equipment. Take a look at it, and then put the cup you just earned onto the burner. Pour the water from the bottle with water into the cup. Light the stove by pressing the ignite button. Let the water boil. Once it’s boiling, take the cup. You won’t be able to do this unless you take the ski glove from your inventory and use it. Now go look back down the cliff, and climb down the rope.
All right. You are back at the cabin. Check out the door and try to open it. You can’t! It’s frozen shut. You need to use the boiling water in your cup! Use it on the doorknob. Now you can turn the doorknob and head into the cabin.
Once inside the cabin, you’ll notice that there is a mini-game on the table. You can play it if you want! But, what’s important here is the trapdoor. You need to get it open somehow. Use your ski pole to snag it and open it up. Once it’s open, you’ll see a butane torch. Grab it and add it to your inventory.
Next, look around. What do you see? What can you use the butane torch on? Well, there’s an ice flow. Use the torch on the ice. Just hold down the left mouse button to use it. Trace the outer edge of the boot you’ll see. Grab the crampons (the spiky things attached to the bottom of the boot.) Now walk down.
Back outside, you’ll see another rodent. This time you don’t want to scare it off. You want to try and capture it. You’ll see a path off to the right. You’ll need to use your crampons to walk it.
You’ll come to an area where you’ll see a dead dude (frozen stiff, ha!) You’ll also see the rodent again. Try one more time to capture it. Then take the maze map you’ll find on the corpse. Walk back down and go back into the cabin. The maze map is part of the mini-game you saw before on the table.
You’ll need to place the maze map into the frame you see on the table to trigger the mini-game. In this game, there are four (4) symbols, which you will need to drag so that the lens is over a matching symbol. All four symbols are color coded. You’ll notice a background in each symbol. Pay attention to the background in order to determine the correct location. Once you get everything correct, the thermometer will fill up. Poof! Like magic, directions will appear on the map. Note them, and then exit the map. Walk down, and then walk to the right.
Phantasmat – Crucible Peak – Map
Here you will see a map in the lower left corner of the screen. You need to select it. Now walk right, up, left, right, up right, and up one last time.
Once you get to the next screen, you’ll notice a break in the power lines. Zoom in, and notice that there are downed power lines here. Again, there’s another rodent to try to catch. You’ll also see a lock pick. Go grab it and add it to your inventory. In this screen you should also note the fishing shack, the house, and the resort. Now walk forward.
Here, you see two barriers blocking the road. Click on them to move them aside. You’ll also see a yellow traffic cone. Knock it over, and zoom in. You’ll discover a trowel. Grab it and add it to your inventory. Look at the map, and then walk down and go right to the resort.
At the front of the resort, you see a fence. There’s a brick in it that you need to take out. Use the trowel to do so. Once you have the brick, use the brick to break one of the windows of the resort. You’ll then notice broken glass. Grab a glass shard, and add it to your inventory.
You’ll also notice a butterfly net. Take it and add it to your inventory. You can’t get into the resort through the window, so you’ll want to look at the door. It’s locked and you don’t have a key. You also can’t use the lock pick yet. Instead, pull the doorknob and then use the glass shard to completely remove it. There will be a triangular hole where the doorknob used to be. Now you can use the lock pick! Open the door and go inside.
Once inside, take a look around. You’ll see a map on the table. You should also select the door next to the staircase to discover a hidden object scene!
Inside the hidden objects scene, again you’ll need to locate all the items on the list at the bottom of the screen. In particular, you need the garlic and the corkscrew. Turn on the light switch to find them. You will need to move the coat, which is hanging on the coat rack. Behind it, you’ll discover a tail. Grab the tail and add it to your inventory. There’s a green case along the wall. You need to open it. Inside, you will discover a mouse. Grab it! Add it to your inventory. Once you do, you’ll earn a wrench! You’re all done here, so exit and walk up the stairs.
At the top of the stairs, there’s a landing. Here, you’ll see a ladder to the right. Grab it and add it to your inventory. You’ll also see a shelf. There’s a fuse bulb on it that you will also need to add to your inventory. You’ll also see a book, which you need to open. Inside is a piece to a puzzle. Take it! At the back of the landing there’s a cabinet. Look at it to discover a mini-game.
When you look at the cabinet, you’ll see a puzzle. To trigger the mini-game, put the puzzle part into the left position. Note the symbols, and then move the squares to correct positions based on those symbols. To spin the blocks, you need to press the snowflake buttons, and to swap squares, you need to press the purple buttons. There’s a particular order that you need to press these buttons. Here it is: : L, Kx2, Mx3, Ox3, N, Mx2, K, L, Kx3, Ox2, Mx3, N, O, M, N, M, L, Mx2, N, Mx3, and N.
Phantasmat – Crucible Peak – Symbols
Now, you’ll also notice a letter opener. Grab it and add it to your inventory. Go back downstairs and look closely at the map that you saw on the table.
At the top of the map, you will see a letter. Open it with the letter opener. Inside the letter is a roll of electrical tape. You need to grab this and add it to your inventory. Now, examine the photos that are pinned to the map. Exit the close-up, and then walk down twice.
Here you are back outside the resort on the road with the downed power lines. You need to use your ladder here, and place it against the pole. Examine the power box. There are four (4) bolts. Use the wrench in your inventory on the bolts. Open the power box. Inside there’s an area with bulbs. When you select it, you will discover another mini-game.
In this mini-game, you need to put the fuse bulb into the lower right socket. The lights in the center will light up in a particular sequence. Now, all you have to do is select the colored bulbs in the same order. The sequences are randomly generated, and you must do a series of three of them. The meter on the left will show your progress.
Now, exit the close-up and take a good look at the downed power lines. You should be able to fix them using the electrical tape in your inventory. Once you’ve done this, simply look at the power box and flip the switch. The power is back on! Now walk to the far house.
You’ve just finished chapter one!
Chapter 2: Inside Peter’s House
Here we start off outside Peter’s house. You’ll notice a bunch of broken boards. Grab them and add them to your inventory. Next to the house, you’ll notice a cellar door. Zoom in to discover a butterfly. Use the butterfly net in your inventory to trap the insect. Add the bug to your inventory. Now walk down, and go left to the boathouse.
At the boathouse, you’ll see some cattails to the left of a broken dock. Zoom in. There’s a frog hiding there. Give the butterfly to the frog. You’ll also see a wooden handle floating in the water. Grab it and add it to your inventory. Now, you can use the boards you took earlier and use them to fix the broken dock in front of you. Now look at the pole holder on the dock, and take the hammer. Finally, walk down, go right, and go back inside the resort.
Inside the resort, at the top of the stairs, you’ll see a phone. Zoom in on it. Select the dial. Below it you’ll see a pair of pliers. Grab them and add them to your inventory. Now exit the close-up and walk down twice. Go forward to the mountain pass. You’ll see a road sign, which you can zoom in on. Use the pliers here to grab the bent nails. Add those nails to your inventory. Now walk down, and go toward Peter’s house.
Outside Peter’s house again, you’ll notice a rock. Put the bent nails you took from the sign onto the rock. Now use the hammer to straighten out the nails. Next you need to examine the cellar door. Take the wooden handle from your inventory, place it on the cellar door, then place the straitened nails, and finally use the hammer to attach the wooden handle to the door. Pull the handle, and then select the cellar for a hidden object scene!
As with all hidden object scenes, you need to locate all the items on the list at the bottom of the screen. Now, move all the boards you see on the left to reveal a locomotive. Grab it and add it to your inventory. Tip the green bucket over to reveal a sneaker. Take the sneaker and add it to your inventory too. Once you’ve done this, you will earn the wooden hand. Now, exit the cellar and look at the front door to Peter’s house to discover another mini-game.
To trigger the mini-game here, you’ll need to place the wooden hand into the device. Use the 2nd and third fingers to move the thumb and light all the numbers. The fingers need to be pressed in the following order: 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, and 3.
Phantasmat – Crucible Peak – Wooden Hand
Now go inside the house.
Inside Peter’s house, you meet none other than … Peter! You need to get the snowmobile key from him. On the counter you will see another butane torch. Take it and add it to your inventory. Finally, open the refrigerator and look inside.
Inside Peter’s fridge, there’s a ton of ice. You need to use the butane torch to melt some of it. As you use the torch, you’ll discover an object. Trace its outline to reveal a metal leaf. Grab the leaf and add it to your inventory. Now walk down one time.
Outside Peter’s house you’ll notice a shed to the right. Look at the door to access another mini-game. Here’s a small hint, use the metal leaf you just took to trigger the game. You’ll see colored numbers written on the wood. You’ll also see three colored leaves. Select the leaves in the following order: U, V, W.
Now go inside the shed.
Inside the shed, take a look around. You’ll notice a workbench. Zoom in real quick and you’ll see a propeller. You need to grab that and add it to your inventory. Exit the close-up and continue looking around until you find a fishing rod that doesn’t have a fishing line. Take that too and add it to your inventory. In the back of the room, you should see some shelves. Select the shelves to access a hidden object scene!
All right. Here are with another hidden object scene. As with all the rest, you need to locate all the items listed at the bottom of the screen. In the lower left-hand corner, you’ll see a crate. Open its lid and you’ll find a magnet. Grab the magnet and add it to your inventory. Next, you’ll notice that there is a paint bucket with a paint brush sitting on one of the shelves. You need to use the paint brush to paint the sailboat that you’ll see sitting nearby. Once you do this, you’ll earn a saw blade!
Still inside the boathouse, you’ll notice a snowmobile sitting off to the right. Take a look at the handlebars and zoom in. You’ll see a saw frame. Grab that and add it to your inventory. Exit the close-up, and then zoom in to the base of the snowmobile. You’ll see a vise lever. Grab that too and add it to your inventory. Finally, place the ski part from your inventory onto the front bracket of the snowmobile.
Now it’s time to get to work! Exit the close-up of the snowmobile. To the left of the room, you’ll see a workbench. Zoom in to use the vise. Place the vise lever you took from the snowmobile on it. Now place the saw frame in the vise, and then take the saw blade and put it into the frame. Next, grab the hacksaw you see sitting on the workbench. Walk down and you’ll see a latch in the door. Use the hacksaw on the latch. Finally, walk down, and go back inside Peter’s house.
Back inside Peter’s house, you need to talk to Peter again. On the coffee table in the living room, you can zoom in. Grab the fishing line you’ll see sitting on the crossword puzzle. Notice that there’s a divorce decree sitting nearby under a wooden duck. Take a look at that. Exit the close-up and then check out the photograph hanging on the back wall. Finally walk down twice and go left toward the fishing shack.
Outside the fishing shack, you’ll see a rod holder on the dock. Zoom in, and then place the rod without a fishing line into it. Next, take the fishing line you got from Peter’s house and put it on the fishing rod. Spin the handle. Now, you should also see a dummy floating in the water. You’ll see a zipper on its suit. Grab the zipper pull and put it in your inventory. Finally, walk down, go right, and go back into the resort.
Back inside the resort, you’ll notice that there is a suitcase underneath the stairs. Zoom in, and you’ll notice that you can’t open it because it’s zipped up. You need to take the zipper pull you took from the dummy and use it to open the suitcase. Inside, you’ll find a pump. Grab that and add it to your inventory. Now walk down twice, and go left to the boathouse.
Outside the boathouse you’ll meet Otto. You’ll need to get a wooden fish from him. Next, look at the boathouse door to access another mini-game.
Phantasmat – Crucible Peak – WoodenFish
All right! Time for another mini-game. Take the wooden fish you got from Otto and place it on the mechanism to activate the mini-game. Next, you’ll notice a symbol shown in the eye. Rotate the two discs until they form a symbol that matches the one in the eye. Another symbol will form in the other eye. In all, there are six symbols. Move the center disc first. As it moves, the outer disc will rotate in the opposite direction. Finally, go inside the boathouse.
Inside the boathouse, you’ll see yet another mini-game on the left wall. Here, you need to rotate the center piece, and align it with the outer pieces. Once they are aligned, attach the outer pieces to the center.

Now you’ll notice a boat floating in the water. You’ll need to use the pump beside it to inflate the boat. Now look at the boat and zoom in. Inside the boat you’ll discover a rope with a hook. Take the rope and add it to your inventory. Now walk down.
Outside the boathouse, you’ll notice a rowboat floating in the water. Use the rope with the hook to grab the boat. Next, look at the boat and zoom in for a hidden object scene!
In the hidden object scene, examine everything and locate all the items on the list located at the bottom of your screen. Look until you find the first aid case. Open it to find the bandage. Grab the bandage and add it to your inventory. Now notice the vest hanging over one of the boat’s seats. Open the vest pocket to find the wallet. Take the wallet and add it to your inventory.

Next, you need to use the avalanche beeper on the packed snow. Next, notice that there’s a snowman off to the right. You need to give him a nose. Use the carrot. He needs another arm. Use the branch. Finally, he’s cold. Use the scarf. The snowman is good to go! Now, look for the snow shovel. Once you’ve found it, grab it and add it to your inventory.
Now use the snow shovel to dig in the packed snow. You’ll uncover another corpse. Look at him and zoom in. Grab the flat camera and Schultz’s keys that you discover.
