Well, you all led me astray and I had to buy this one. I had a blast with it.

thanks to all the hints on the numbers puzzle--I was so clueless but by reading the strategies everyone posted I was able to get it.

I have a print screen for the quilt puzzle--unless it's random.

I sure hope there is a second story coming though as I felt "dropped" at the end. puppy

Congrats L4L: I was a little let down with the ending just because I was expecting a big battle or final puzzle - some big grand finale. It kind of fizzled out in that regard. You don't even have to do anything special with all the amulets that you spend so much time collecting all those darn jewels. You have to have them to finish, but you don't have to do anything with them. Still, this is the best game I've played in a long time and I'll be watching for a sequel.

I'm pretty sure the screen shot will be good on the quilt puzzle. I've played it 3 times and the flower pattern has been the same. The best hint for the quilt puzzle is that the pieces lighten/brighten when placed correctly, so random clicking will solve it when all else fails.

ScarletD, I felt the same way, which is why I'm hoping there is a sequel that will take up where that one left off.

I was able to solve the quilt puzzle by figuring out the pattern of the background. I didn't even notice that they lightened but I did wonder why I had 2 shades of blue rotfl

Finished the game yesterday. I really enjoyed it!

I was dreading getting to the numbers puzzle but after I knew what I was supposed to do (I was a little confused at first), it was a piece of cake. One of the outer numbers was "2" so the only numbers adjacent to it on the ring was "1 1" and so on.

I was a little surprised by the ending or lack thereof but I suppose there will be a sequel. I was wondering why I didn't get a little flag in Egypt since one part of the arrow is still there.

How do you do the pipe puzzle? I've been stuck on that thing for hours. Thanks for any help.

Tammy, be sure that none of the pipes end at the edge, they all have to be connected. Also, there are a couple of hose pieces on the inside as well as the one on the outside on the far right.

Just keep rotating them all til you get it luck

I got it. Thanks L4L. Those question marks aren't exactly all easy to see. They should have a magnifier in this game.

Tammy, glad you got it.

Yes, I quite often would find 9 ? but not 10. So finally I took a print screen and pasted it into Paint, and then went to Paint and zoomed in with the magnifier. Much easier to find them that way.

L4L - Good idea about using paint, but how did you take a print screen and paste it?

You just push the print screen key on your key board. That copies the picture.

Then you open Paint.

Select New

Place the cursor in the body of the new document (all the white space) and hit Ctrl+V or Right Click and select Paste.

Then you select the magnifying glass from the selections on the left and you can see the picture magnified. You'll have to move the sections around using the bars.

At least that is how it works on my computer. I have XP luck

How do I assemble that flag in the hut? I don't even know what the picture is supposed to look like. If it's the picture they show, that is covered by the puzzle.

I just did it by what I thought it should look like (matched what I thought would match to the bottom and top rows). Here's a screenshot if you need it.

Thanks Misa, I was drawing a blank.

I did it by matching the lines around the outside and then filling in the center with something that made sense to me luck

I truly enjoyed this one as well, although the stone cross with the stones with the eyes gave me a few grey hairs. I'm hoping this is just the start of a series.

Tammy, I felt that way too and almost didn't try, but decided to go ahead and give it a shot.

I worked from the outside in. The puzzle is basically divided into 4ths and you have to be sure that the lines line up correctly or else it won't know it's finished.

If the numbers on the outside of the ring are 2+1+3 then you want the number 6 to be next to that. And then you just keep adding the numbers from that 6 all the way in to the number in the center.

There should be a solid straight line from the outside all the way to the inside.

You may have to change a ring--for example, I had a 16 and used 9+1+6 and it worked for one quandrant but the numbers on the other side didn't work.

But by changing the position of the numbers and using 8+3+5, it all worked.

luck
