Ana

I thought I should keep you company.

You are so sweet! I thought we'd need this thread, but I think I was wrong. Imagine that!

Ana

OK,I'm in, I will keep you guys company too
i'm certain you will need this thread very soon

If the queen of all things casual says I'll need it, I'll leave it. In the meantime we can just party here.

Can you tell I just want to go home from work? My brain is on weekend time already.

ana

Let's partay!

Woo Hoo

I would join in if I could but I am to busy trying to land helicopters, boy that game is hard,

Hey Widget, it took me a while to get the helicopter game. I made some videos that you can watch to see if it helps you any. The key is to press on the mouse lightly, if you do it too hard, the helicopter will go too fast.

Video Solution for the Helicopter's 2nd Target

Once you get through the first helicopter, the second one will be much easier.You will get through it
Good Luck, Margie

Gee thanks Margie, think I was doing it all wrong,

You're welcome widget, trust me that video was made after a lot helicopter crashes

That mini-game is tough. I thought I would never get it but I was determined. Please let me know how it went for you.

Thanks,Margie

Hi all, I can't for the life of me seem to get the weight right when balancing the spices...I'm at Columbus.....How lucky am I to find all of you experts here in one place partaying?? Any tips for me?

Hi Gaily, this is the party animal here,taking time off my partying to come and help you

Here is a Screenshot for the Spice Jar Solution

Good Luck, Margie

Well I must have partied too hardy since I came home from work and promptly fell asleep.
Thanks for holding down the fort Margie!

Ana

Sorry, got distracted also. Thanks, Margie.

I sure appreciate your presence and help here, Margie. I just got back from a doctor's appointment so I haven't started the game yet, but will be settling into it tonight---and I know that what you are posting here will be a big help to me.

LOL, you guys, napping at the party, tsk, tsk..... See Ana...If you build it, they will come

Hey Guys,

I am placing a page on Gamezebo with some Video and Screenshot Solutions for the Mini -Games In Family Flux
until I can get the walkthrough completed. The thread will be updated periodically.

Thanks Marian, you know I will what I can for my favorite Boomers!

Thanks, Margie

Thanks Margie, I put the link in my first post. Much appreciated!

Ana

Thanks Margie

I usually don't post (because I don't do it right sometimes). I do read the forum everyday. Thank you so much for the videos and screen shot. Just could not get those two. Looks like you are all having fun at your party. TGIF

Kate Anne

Thanks Margie, I got through!

Thanks Ana and Kate Anne, Glad to be of service!

Hey Gaily, that is great, congratulations!

Margie B

Margie and

In regard to the heliocopter....

For some reason I can't view YouTube... I'm afraid it might be a registry error. Thank God for that guy named SKIP LOL

I had my 7 year old grand do the helicopter thing for me, he is good at helping me out.

Can you lend him around cmcd??
he sounds useful to have,
:easter:

Am now stuck finding the 'triangle' thing to go on table in Flight Davinci,

Gee, I have never been to a party with Ana, MaG, and Margie all attending at the same time this truly is a VIP party with you 3.

Your all dressed so beautiful. Ana, even though your overworked I can't see even a dark circle under your eyes.

Widget, are you unstuck?

Sherryah, Glad you could join us!

Ana

okay stupid comment but I am stuck at the very end and am trying to replace everything and I guess it might be my old age but I can't seem to remember where and who had what so if someone could be of service I would really appreciate it.

Kem

Nevermind, I finally figured it out through trial and error without getting very frustrated.

unstuck from one problem, but will be stuck on another soon, !!!!
I must confess I have 'skipped' a few games, but when finish will play again.

Bitty

Widget

I need more than good luck, something went 'funny' with my PC and when I went to play again it had lost it all, so I had to start all over again

Still I am determined not to skip any games this time,

I'm on the sixth section of the game and so far have only skipped one of the slider puzzles. The minigames have been fun so far and are definitely doable; I just lost my patience with the slider puzzle so ended it prematurely.

I plan to play this game again and hope to not skip any of the minigames next time around.

I don't think I will ever find the firecracker that is the dud. Is this random or can someone tell me which one in the bowl that is the dud. Thanks, this is a great game.

Sunnydde, I think a lot of people are busy today, I have not loaded the game yet. Hopefullysomeone will be able to answer you shortly.

Ana

I have no idea if this is random or not; for me, the dud was kind of in the middle on the bottom of the pile.

I had many failed attempts until I realized that what you need to do is to click on as many firecrackers as you can with each match, not waiting for them to go off--just light as many as you can; for me, clicking near the cap on the firecracker rather than on the end of the fuse ensured that each click would be recognized. This approach got rid of enough firecrackers that I had time to get to the one that was the dud.

I am having a problem in the second level. Clue is Mozart has the combo but I can't find Mozart. What am I missing? I am stuck at this point.
Cool game though!
kid

I don't know what level I'm on but it's at the end of the level and it has to do with Ben Franklyn's stove. I have to put together gloves, a bucket I think, and a jar with something in it. However, the jar I have is empty and it won't take it. Any ideas?

Flo

Thanks Marian found it middle left. I was trying to lite the wick and when I lit the top it went much faster.

Dagokid you are looking for a red wax sealing stamp that has the code on it.

Great!

Hey Flo. Apparently the party lasted too long. I haven't seen anybody answer your question. Maybe they all overdosed on Easter candy?

I'm not sure if this is the same spot since I didn't take notes when I played through this game, but I remember at one point you have to fill a container with water from the waterfall in the background of a Confucius scene. Hope it helps you.

Too many games, too little time Scarlet. I have not even had a moment to do anything but download and buy the game sight unseen. It's always nice when those playing help others who get stuck, that's why the forum is here.

Ana

Hey Flo, Scarlett is correct, go back to Confucius and fill the jar with water at the waterfall.

Just an FYI, the walkthrough will be posted shortly, we have 170 screenshots and about 20 videos. I will post a link as soon as we publish it to the main page.
Thanks, Margie B

Thanks Margie! It sounds like it was quite a lot of work!

Apologise for not reading through 5 pages but I have a problem,

this is the 2nd time this game would not close down, just left with a black screen, so had to re-boot, then found out I had to start the game from the beginning again,
has anyone else had this??

Thanks SD and Margie,

I tried filling it in the pond, didn't see a waterfall, but I'll go check it out. I figured it was water.

Flo

It's happened to others Widget, please write to BF support and let them know.

ana

Hey Ana

It was work but in a good way. It's always enjoyable to write a walkthrough for a game that is as good as this one.

Here is a link for the Walkthrough for Flux Family Secrets: The Time Ripple!

Enjoy!

Margie B

Thank you bunches! I added you to the first post.

I'll get to the game later this week I think. I'm looking forward to it after all you guy's comments.

Ana

thanks will do that, it is really annoying,.

Since I was on vacation when this game came out, I'm a bit behind. Anyway, I've actually finished the game, Skip helped me out quite a bit too but I'm playing again. I'm right at the beginning, in Abbey Studios when you have the mini game after placing the drumset. You have to click the color before it slides down the string to fill the meter. How long does this take? Does the meter ever change from red to another color? I skipped it both times, since I played it for quite a few minutes and didn't seem to make any headway. Please advise! Thx!
-Laura x2

Hi x2kul

The meter should fill up to green. You actually click the color just as it is about to hit the target.
Maybe you are clicking a bit early?

all better thx! my not so great hearing misled the cues from the game. thx again!
