hi, winfrey! thanks for responding. i don't like to have to skip any puzzles, but can't make sense of the instructions for the first part of this one, nesting boxes. the WT offers no helpful insight and obliterates the solution with overlays.
i am in chapter 4, and have opened the city gates (the puzzle with the two rearing horses). in the bailiff's office, i encountered a woman (?) who has a horrendous device locked over her head, like in the alexander dumas story of the man in the iron mask. i am tasked with removing this device.
i then returned to the locksmith's shop and opened a succession of locked drawers and cabinets there, solved the spider puzzle, and made the blank key. then i took that key back to the bailiff's office and used it on the woman's "head prison." once you do that, you open a wonderful multi-part puzzle and have to solve all the pieces of this large puzzle in order to remove the device from her head. the first part of the puzzle is the so-called nesting boxes puzzle.

Check ***here*** about 17 minutes into the video. The YouTuber calls it a "scoopy puzzle." The object is to slide the smaller boxes into the larger ones. You start with the smallest boxes. The boxes are open on one end, and that's the end you have to use to "swallow" smaller boxes with.

i finished the game and bonus game today. i have to say this is one of the best i've played in months. a very long game, a bit disjointed starting out the way it did and then morphing into something else, but hey, i just loved it. lots of scene changes, innovative HOG scenes when they occurred (which was not that often), a mix of nighttime and daytime scenes, pretty clever and creative inventory use at times, clear game play, and ~ my favorite ~ intricate mini-games/puzzles marking the end of each section of play. these End-of-Section mini-games are of the type that have multiple components that you have to solve for, with a minimum amount of instruction into what the goal is. (one of them threw me completely, hence the post that started this thread). there are lots of small puzzles throughout the game, too. Locks to be picked, things to be retrieved, parts to be assembled. there is one small slider of the "Traffic Game" style, but it is dead simple. most of the in-game puzzles are. you can dial in the difficulty for the game overall, and i cranked it up to max. nothing was especially difficult.
there is one portion of one of the End-of-Section mini-games that was "twitchy" each time i clicked on a playing piece. the goal was to slide this piece sideways, but when i clicked on it, it would only zip upward on the screen. this was the only thing i had to skip in the game. the nice thing about this Ravenhurst game is that you can skip one component of one of the big mini-games without skipping the entire puzzle.
the bad guys (and woman) are ridiculously over the top in terms of voice acting, and this makes the game funny rather than scary. there area few "combat" type scenes where you have to sort out runes and glyphs, but the scenes aren't timed, and i don't think you could die unless you really, really can't perceive graphics.
the bonus game is not good, not bad; it really added little to the story, and should have been longer. there are bonus objects to look for in each scene of the game, but you can simply ignore them if you aren't interested. if you get the CE, it has a game manual/WT.

Hi Reenie I very recently played "Key to Ravenhurst" and didn't find it in the least buggy - in fact I enjoyed it very much. [I played it in Win7.] Cheers. Mad
