**A place in the sun** is a collection that can be combined in the game.
Each Hidden Object Picture and Puzzle game in the Secret Society - Hidden Mystery has its own set of reward items that players can win, in addition to earning Experience points and coins. Many of these items form parts of collections that players can combine in order to win rewards.

This collection is currently associated with the **Sea Amulet** Artifact in the game.

See the List of Collections page for a list of all collections currently available in the game and the rewards for combining them.

## A place in the sun Collection

A place in the sun is collection number 398 in the collections section of the game in accordance with the List of Collections Page.

Combining this collection creates the Beach tent, which is one of five completed Collection Items needed in order to create the Sea Amulet Artifact.
Each collection in the game consists of 5 different collection items.

Once you have collected at least one of each item for this collection, along with the required number of combining elements, the COMBINE button on the right side of the collection will turn green. You will be able to combine the collection and receive your rewards. If the COMBINE button is brown, then you are either missing one or more of the collection items, or you do not have enough of one or more of the required combining elements.

## Collection Items

There are several ways to obtain the collection items needed to combine the A place in the sun collection.

They can be: 1) won as a reward for successfully investigating certain pictures; 2) won both within, as well as before and after the quests for them; 3) randomly rewarded by the Collector desktop award; and 4) randomly rewarded from charging a friend's board when visiting friends.

The chart below details: 1) Collection Item Name; 2) Find In Quest - the name of the quest; 3) Found After Quest Completion - where the item can be obtained after the quest has been completed; and 4) Giftable/Drop - whether or not the item is giftable, obtainable while visiting a friend's board as a drop, or both.

Collection items with a green plus sign can be added to your wish list to indicate to your friends that you need the item. This is done by clicking on the green plus sign next to the item in the Collections window, at which point it will turn into a red x and will also show up on your wish list. You can also gift these collection items to your friends, either directly from their wish list or through the 'Send a collection item' tab in the gifting window for that friend. All collection items gifted to friends will come out of your inventory.

Collection items without a green plus sign cannot be added to your wish list or gifted to friends. It does not matter how many of that item you have in your inventory; if the item does not have a green plus sign next to it, it will not appear in the 'Send a collection item' tab in the gifting window. It is impossible to send or receive items that do not have a green plus sign, however they may be obtained through a drop while visiting a friend's board or by charging an award.

## Combining Elements

The combining elements required to assemble any collection can be won as a reward for successfully investigating certain pictures and winning certain puzzle games.

The following is a list of the combining elements that are required in order to combine the A place in the sun collection. For each combining element, it shows how many are required each time you combine a collection.
