A Passel O’ Puzzles

Category: Games

I’m in a owly mood, so I have decided to offer you unsolvable puzzles. It’s a mean thing to do; but being owly, I don’t give a hoot. (This is sort of where the metaphor breaks down.)

Anywhoo, the first two are of the click-on-things-and-hope-something-happens variety. In this one, you try to get the woman home. To get her up the staircase, click on the hanging icicle first. You can also click on the chimney of the cabin in the background and a man will come out to collect wood from the woodpile. That’s where the game ends—or at least it did for me, because I couldn’t figure out what the hell to do after that.

This is one of those room-escaping puzzles, in this case a prisoner in a jail. You can smash the light bulb, move the bone around (something to do with the dog, no doubt), and use the dish to gather water to drink and to revive the flower. What you can’t do is get out of the cell, or so I concluded after about half-an-hour.

This is a number puzzle that is impossible in the sense that I am generally lousy at these types of games. I’m sure it won’t be an insurmountable challenge to those who like the genre. Via A Welsh View.

(All of them have music and/or sfx, but nothing too obtrusive.)

    As for the 1st game, a man who collected wood dropped kind of omega thing next to woodpile. Our heroine can go there, pick it up (but make no use so far) and follow to crowbar switch and turn it on. And so my 10-minute exploration ends.

    For the prisoner game, you revitalize the flower, then you can break the stone ledge and force out one of the bars.
