A couple of you have played this (online) so maybe you could nudge me in the right direction - I "get" the knife from Arthur's back, "get" the crab off the floor, "get" my expired library card off the desk, and "get" the fingerprint kit/book from the bookshelf, "look" at the box and Arthur on the floor, and the dog pic on the wall and some books on the bookshelf, cannot pick any of them up or "move" anything else, - "use" the knife on the fingerprint kit/book to reduce its size for ease in carrying around, been to the dock, "talk" to Bill, "look" at everything, cannot "get" anything here, "use" knife on everything no results, cannot "move" anything, tried fingerprint pamphlet on everything no results either. Where do I go from here? What do I do now? Love, Betty Lou

OK MaG, but what did you do to Bill to get him to talk about ANY restaurants, let alone different ones....I'm stumped, no mention of restaurants at all here. Stuck on dock with one crab and crate of fake crabs, slimy squid, one sponge and nowhere else to go or nothing else to do. Love, Betty Lou P.S. Where is everyone else who is playing this game? Or has already played it? Someone finished the whole game in under an hour? HOW? Love, Betty Lou

Finally got the 2 restaurants to show up on that map - been to both - can't figure out what to do - need a keycard for the gate/door, where do I look for it? Can't do anything to help Jim with his rats - what now? I have tried to access the HINTS/TIPS feature and nothing happens, it just sits there - any ideas? Love, Betty Lou

OK. Used ID card with fake picture from poster and Arthur's fingerprint to get into Cafe. Got cheese and hald tin cans. talked to chef & waitress. got kidnapped by thug and talked to Boss. trapped rat with cheese & crab. talked to Crab diner guy he needs to hire someone to dispose of his rats. I haven't a clue what to do now so can't get diner reopened. HELP please. Cute game. Takes an awful long time to open it so it can be played. too bad have to start over again as there is no save feature. And cannot access their hint/tip file. Thanks
Love, Betty Lou

Betty Lou, have you found the business card to give the guy who has the rat problem? Try moving a crate around outside the kitchen of the restaurant where the guy is listening to the victrola.

Thanks Also...can't this game be offered in our Free Games Galore? Have to keep the topic moved up in Discussion so as to get back to it. Cannot "bookmark" it. Love, Betty Lou

Betty Lou, The game is at Free Games Galore as well as other new games Dee has picked up. I'll try to open it later since I didn't play the game long enough.

The hint file didn't work for me either Betty Lou. Don't know why they have it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" />

Thanks MaG. Will check my email in a bit. Have discovered why I cannot access their Hints/Tips = BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY - when you/I click on the box in lower right hand corner of his webpage re the game a message appears above it in a large blank space on the right asking that anyone who has written complete hints/tips or a walkthrough please to contact him and gives his email address....it's a case of that old saying, "when in doubt, read the manual"! but I did not even think to look up there for something like that, just expected a reaction of some kind to my clicking on his link....I know, Betty Lou you Must Pay Attention! Duh At least now that I have downloaded it I can just minimize and not have to quit and start over every time....thanks for the tip. Love, Betty Lou
