Sorry @Kmo73, this old game is implemented in Quest 4 so it doesn't have an UNDO, which would have been a reasonable workaround. Also, the author may not see your comment as he has not been active on the site for a few years.

Sorry muddlemand, this is a general problem with playing online on this site. It would be helpful if someone would make it clear! Timeouts occur when playing online and can happen quickly when playing at busy times. Also, there are no friendly warnings to help you save beforehand. If you can, download the game and play it under Windows.

It can't be about the number of turns - I've only just met Simple Simon. Help!

I am stuck on how to distract Cyril to get the certificate in the in box. I've used the bellows but I can't type fast enough to get the paper in before he cleans up. I think I'm missing a command!
Also, how do I find out how to make holy water? The manual won't tell me. Thanks!

Very fun game. I relied a lot on the comments section but finished with happy ending and all trophies. Easily navigable map and fun puzzles. Very enjoyable.

Comment ber89

10 Nov 2017

Nevermind, I figured it out. Realized I had a smaller container than the bucket I could fill with salt. Everything sort of fell into place after that. Got all five trophies and happy ending thanks to a lot of help from the comments section. Great game.

I am stuck trying to open the function room and I cannot find the inner sanctum. I currently have: bowl, bellows, pot of ants, blanket, bolt cutters, spirit ball, old book, bucket of salt, and trowel. I also cannot figure out how to give the cook the right amount of salt. It's seems pretty silly that I have too MUCH salt for the cook. Any hints on function room, inner sanctum, and salt would be very welcome.

Review danaburgerrr

17 Dec 2014

loved this one! out of the series I think this is the best one yet. again, I think some of the puzzles are a bit too tricky to work out for mediocre TA players like myself. without the comments I'd be nowhere, really. but the hints are a bit more helpful this time around (the tapestries in the Outer Sanctum, etc.) and I like the supernatural element to it, too, as far as Mad Jack goes. the size of the world is great. I like being able to picture the entire world in my mind without too much help from a map, and this world you created is just the right size to envision without getting lost or confused, with no extraneous rooms. I would just offer one suggestion for the future: some commands you've set up are a little far-fetched. it took me FOREVER to figure out how to get into the tent, even after I'd assembled the puppet. love the addition of hidden trophies for super-thorough searchers as well. I'm looking forward to the next game!

CJ592, how did you add the status bar and the number of gold coins? I'm having trouble with coins and money.

Review Liam315

22 Apr 2013

The puzzles in this game are quite enjoyable and interesting, plus there are usually multiple objectives you could be seeking at any one moment if one of them becomes frustrating. The two stars I've awarded reflect this alone because unfortunately the game has little else going for it.

The cons:
- The game is riddled with bugs, even simple things like not being able to pick up certain objects once you've dropped them, putting you in an unwinnable state. For me this was the final straw after trying my best to overlook the other shortcomings of the game.

- Synonyms for place and object names are almost nonexistent and having to exactly type things like "go to cottage (inside)" including the parentheses every time gets annoying since it should be unnecessary.

- The game doesn't recognise most verbs that should be quite simple, you can't put the milk bottle on the anvil, you have to "use milk on anvil." This is just one of countless examples I came across during the first half of the game.

- Implementation is very poor, the descriptions of each room and object are sparse enough as it is, yet there is no response programmed for almost everything you might try and do to the objects described. The author has thought through what the player needs to do and spent no time considering and programming for everything else the character might do.

- The lack of synonyms and bad implementation means that you can spend ages trying to do something that you know should work, only to find you could only use one badly phrased command to make that happen. I had more trouble figuring out the syntax the game wanted me to use than I did figuring out most of the puzzles.

- Story is almost nonexistent. This is a cheap shot to throw at a puzzle oriented game, but for a game that describes itself as comedy and fantasy, there was a distinct lack of either.

- Spelling mistakes and simple grammatical flaws are abundant, especially as you progress through. As they become more frequent it

Review CJ2

16 Jan 2013

Just finished, happy ending with four trophies... a little disappointed because I had the fifth trophy (Explorer) but accidentally shut down the game without saving. When I reloaded from an earlier save, I couldn't get it again, even though I had the koob dlo when I left the evarg.

In any case, CJ592, this is the best in the series so far and I enjoyed it immensely! Some of the puzzles I had to come here and get help on, but when I found the answer I pretty much always thought, "Of course! There was a hint about that!"

Well done!

Comment sarah4

22 Mar 2012

Marcos, you don't actually need three coins, Cyril should let you have the pass for two coins because you helped him, you need to go to the town hall and speak to him after you have got the two coins not before as, due to a tiny glitch, if you speak to him before you have the coins he does not respond after that. When you have spoken to him and he has given you the pass make sure you speak to him again and ask him about 'deaths' then follow his instructions, after that you shouldn't need him again till later. Hope this helps.

Comment Marcos Artiaga

22 Mar 2012

Thanks Sarah, My only problem is that I only have two coins and I don't see a way of earning a third so that I can purchase the pass. Thanks again for the help.

Comment sarah4

20 Mar 2012

Marcos, you need to go to the town hall and speak to Cyril who will sell you a dragon pass. If you speak to him again and choose 'deaths' from the menu then he'll give you another reason to go back and talk to Winnie. Make sure you both examine and read the book Winnie gives you. You need something else to complete the sock puppet but you will not find that until you've been to the mountain (after getting your dragon pass). The key to open the chest can also be found by examining the remains in the cave in the mountains, remember to check the remains repeatedly as you will find three different things hidden there and if you check them often enough it may lead to something else useful! There's no way of getting in to an unwinnable position in this game as far as I know and even though it's tricky it's more than worth persevering with! If you have any more problems then please ask.

Comment Marcos Artiaga

20 Mar 2012

Ok, I've restarted this game several times and end up in the same place.

I complete the broken spectacles tasks and get Winnie her honeycomb and fix the oven. I get Gnomeo his his flowers and then he disappears. I find the chest but can't find a way to open it. I have eyes on the sock but can't find the rest of the pieces for my puppet. Winnie doesnt say anything anymore.

Can anyone offer any help?

Comment sarah4

10 Mar 2012

Xavea: I presume you've got the coin for giving the diamond ring to Gnomeo as you say you've already been asked to buy the blank marriage certificate so you must have either not given the book Winnie gave you to the receptionist or not spoken to Rod and helped him out by putting glass shards on the wall in order to get your third coin. Gnomeo will tell you where Juniet is when you give him the marriage certificate to sign. As for missing trophies, a couple of them will fall into place later in the game as you go about solving other puzzles, the two more tricky ones are to be found by repeatedly visiting the haunted grove and leaving it in order to find a hidden location and by building something in the sand. Hope this helps.

hi miranda.

The wedding of Gnomeo happens after you complete the game. THe BBM trophy is the Best Best Man trophy and you get it if you have met certain conditions. may be worth saving the game before you finish.
The Ex trophy is a bit more random, you need to have got the extra library book from the ticket which is hidden in the library book you return. If you missed it you might not be able to get the trophy.

Comment miranda

10 Feb 2011

I have three of five trophies. It appears as though I'm missing the BBM and Ex from what I've gathered reading this forum.

I'm pretty sure I can finish the game, as I have the feather, and could give it to winalot, but i have yet to do that because I want to go to the wedding and stuff. When I speak to Juniette, she doesn't say anything. I have already poured the tlas on the spets several million times, and though it tells me that the ice has melted, nothing further happens. even doing this, juniette has no love for me, and doesn't budge. i'm also stuck on crossing jack over. i have made the retaw yloh, have contained it in my little top, but, I can't do anything with it.

Thanks for getting back to me. I love your game so far, I give it five stars.

then check the cave off the steppes, where you found the bones, and repeat the action you did there

Comment Jackie

I am probably being a bit thick but I have tried everything I can think of, I have everything except the BK trophy now and finish game with happy ending. Need a bigger hint plseeeeeeeeeee!!

Comment CJ592

20 Sep 2010

Yes you repeat an action (that you probably have done a few times already) eventually you'll get it.

Comment Jackie

20 Sep 2010

do i have to repeat something in a particular place or goto the same place a number of times for the BK trophy.

Comment CJ592

19 Sep 2010

Breeze did you say you had found the code? if not, you have to use a verb you used earlier (something to do with fingers)

now where were there some steppes before?

Jackie, the BK trophy is easy to get. you just have to repeat something a few times...

Comment Jackie

17 Sep 2010

loving the game but need a hint on BK trophy not having any luck with any bones. I have bones in the grinder but can't get them out do I need them to get this trophy.

I am also still stuck on the combination lock.
I tried to make 'steppes' (from the note in the kitchen) into a number
(gives: 192051616519).
Tried adding those numbers together (gives: 100) and enter that.
Tried with the number/letters of a Telephone (gives: 7837737)
Tried the word steppes as the combination
didn't work.
I get the Idea I am trying to hard, and the answer is staring in my face :)
I need a hint please :)

Thanks in advance

Comment Dave2

23 Jul 2010

Thanks for all your help Sue,

I restarted so I could get the ants and have finished now! I just wished I'd started with the first game and worked through to this one, instead I found this game and started it before 1 & 2.

Any news on when 4 is out? Can't wait!!! :)

Comment sue butler

20 Jul 2010

Yes I,m afraid so you need them to distract superior mom to get in the inner sanctum.You could try emailing the author to see if there is another way but I think if you read all the previous comments its a bug,sorry

Comment Dave2

20 Jul 2010

Thanks for your help Sue.

So does that mean I will have to restart the game to get the ants again as I can't take them from the forest floor?

Yeah I've got the ID card and used it, along with a circle of Salt. And yeah, i've used the salt on the steppes but not sure what to do once i've done that.

Thanks again Sue.

Comment sue butler

19 Jul 2010

I,m sorry but you can,t complete the game without the ants and I don,t think you can pick them up again,have you found the ID card yet?And have you used the salt on the steps.I played this ages ago so can,t remember very well but I know I found it really hard which is why I log in sometimes to try and help because I find it really frustrating to get so stuck Sue

also, i dropped the pot of ants in the forest and now I can't pick them up again. will i need them?

Comment Dave2

18 Jul 2010

Thanks again Sue,

I'd been playing the game online at work (on my breaks, obviously!) but have downloaded it at home and really apreciate the save function!!!

i think i'm nearing the end, but i've been stuck with the same problems for some hours now.

how do i help the ghost pass back? i have the salt (and have put it where it needs to go) but not the holy water.

although i have the salt, there's always too much for the cook! how do i give her the right amount? (that's what she said...)

i still need access to the function room.

i know all my posts have ended like this, but... Any ideas!

Comment sue butler

13 Jul 2010

I think outside Winnies cottage you see some white flowers x them and follow the bees.As for the metallic items I think one may be something like the bolt cutters I can,t remember now.Hope that helps a bit Sue

Comment Dave2

13 Jul 2010

thanks for the hint CJ.

well past the yeti now but must be overlooking a big bit of the game cos I haven't even found the honeycomb yet, nor the metallic items for the cement.

any clues?

Comment CJ592

12 Jul 2010

How to get rid of the yeti. Te mountain pass is very chilly.... perhaps you can make the steppes slippery.

The honeycomb. Maybe if you protected your hand with something? somthing wooly!

To enter the tent, you have to create an item that you can speak through

Comment Tony

Sue - have you got the marriage certificate signed by both bride and groom yet? If so then you need to sneak it back into the pile so Cyril will stamp it.

The grinder is used later on something else.

and you'll also need the broken glass.

Review Tony

26 Feb 2010

I'd already won the game with the happy ending and 3 trophies(BK E SS) but I was stuck finding the remaining trophies, particularly the exorcism.

I'd read the old book with the exorcism details and I'd tried using the salt and holy water on the grave and get the "you can't do that yet" responses. Tried it before and after giving the skull to the ghost. Such an easy solution in the end. And that trophy leads to the final trophy.

I thought the combination puzzle for the inner sanctum was particularly amusing.

That's the Shiversword and Loin games all played in the last couple of weeks. I'm an addict. Great games.

Comment CJ592

13 May 2009

Hi Carrot. If you have the spirit ball you probably have enough to finish the game. Crossing the ghost over is part of a subquest (another trophy). You wont be able to use the salt or water unless you have a reason to. Somewhere there is access to a book whcich describes what to do. Did you ever find the library ticket? That's the one item that is difficult to pinpoint

Comment Carrot

12 May 2009

OK - I am stuck. I have the Spirit Ball, but the Ghost still needs to be crossed. Using the tlas fo tekcub or retaw yloh on the evarg results in "There is no reason to do this at the moment" and "You don't want to do that yet" respectivly.

The puppet tent is empty. I don't get a response from Winnie; Cyril only wants to talk about Births, Deaths and Marriages; Simon only offers grammatical help; the Receptionist asks me what I want, but I don't know how to reply (if I need to at all); The Queen wants her feather; I don't get a response from the Cook and Super Mum isn't in the mood for talking.

Gnomeo and Daisy seem to have dissapeared and I don't know what to do next.

I am carrying:
Bellows, Blanket, Bolt Cutters, Bucket (tlas fo), Pot (retaw yloh fo), Spirit Ball and a Trowel.

I think I have explored everywhere. I'm stumped.

Well I am currently stuck.

So far I have rescued/fed Winnies Cat, unblocked her gas valve and found her honeycomb.

I don't know how to get at the glass cutter. I have read through this page and saw mention of bolt cutters, but have yet to find any.

I have white flowers but need red (and don't seem to be able to pick the red ones by Gnomeo).

And I am missing part of the puppet.

Oh, and I drank the soda!!! (was this a mistake).

So far I have to...
...get a dragon pass from the village hall to ride the dragon taxi
...find a way to mend Cyril's glasses
...get some red flowers for Gnomeo
...make a #### puppet with #### and ####!

Any hints here? (not looking for answers, just hints).

So far I have been to the Market Square (Caravan), Guild's Row (Blacksmith & Laundarette), narrow lane, Cottage (Outside and In), Haunted Grove, Garden Centre, Lover's Grove, Gravel Path and the Beach

ok, he's distracted, but i can't figure out which command to use to take the certificate. Already used take, search, look at and examine

The Yeti chaases you down the Steppes. Perhaps there is a way of making those steps slippery ;)

Hehe well done on getting that trophy ;)

Comment David Welbourn

09 Feb 2009

Heh. No, I'd missed that completely. Thanks. Knowing what to look for, I found it quickly and will continue my quest... By the way, I have found two of the trophies so far, one of which I haven't seen mentioned here yet. It's not called 'Hero of the Beach', but it could have been.

Have you got the sock? Socks give good protection!

Comment David Welbourn

I'm finally getting around to playing this one. Much fun, but of course, I'm stuck again. I suspect my personal bottleneck is getting the honeycomb.

I've helped Gnomeo twice; the ghost wants his skull; the Cat Hedral guard wants a pass; the puppet theatre won't let me in. But I bet I have to deal with the bees first before I can do any of that, right?

I'm struggling with the spectacles task - really wanted the sand to be involved, but can't find a way to use it. Am I on the right track?

To find the skull, you need to complete all Gnomeo tasks and the Puppet Tent tasks.

I haven't got the skull that' the part I'm stuck on.

A long time ago I played a game called Leisure Suit Larry. I'm not sure which one it was, but when you finished the game, if you didn't get 100%, it would hint at areas to explore in the endscript. Perhaps you can consider writing that into your next game? I'd really love to find the other two trophies, but now that I've beaten it, I find myself unable to explore new commands.

Comment CJ592

Have you returned the skull to the ghost?

Hi Gamer! Have you got the spirit ball?

Review Mighty Mole

16 Nov 2008

Thanks. A Brilliant Game. Probably the best I've played. The little bits and pieces make all the difference the challanges of time as well as the added extras of hidden trophies. I got 3. I am looking forward to game 4.

Comment GAMER!

16 Nov 2008

Can I have any help on what to do now? I've got to the inner sanctom but I can't take the feather because I kept being teleported. I've got the pot of holy water and I can't find the skull or figure out how to get the marriage sertificate processed. I really need a hint.

Comment CJ592

16 Nov 2008

Damnit! I'm sorry there is a glitch. I tried so hard to make sure everything works.
You may have to restart as the pot of ants is not take-able, but it is drop-able! You need to use the ants on the banquet

Comment Mighty Mole

15 Nov 2008

OK so having got my invite and given it to my partner reunited a headless ghost I am in trouble again. Can't seem to get rid of Mum and now having put my ants down in the funcation room I cannot pick them up again. I really am enjoying this game but I am probably missing the obvious again.

Comment Mighty Mole

15 Nov 2008

Thank you. I had tried before, but had not out certificate in correct place! So simple

Comment CJ592

15 Nov 2008

Ah yes. You need to find another way of getting it signed. Distraction, perhaps

Comment Mighty Mole

15 Nov 2008

Got marraige certificate and had it signed, but not processed. Seemed rather a lot of money is asked for and I haven't worked out how to pay or get around paying for it. Some hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Comment CJ592

Hi Mighty Mole. What 'lots of money' are you trying to get? Do you need to buy the marriage certificate?

Comment Mighty Mole

15 Nov 2008

I am really enjoying the game. But can't seem to get any further than trying to find the skull/ lots of money/ getting past mum anyone any ideas please.

Bronwyn I had the same problem try putting bowldown in a specific place

Gamer! Have you read note in kitchen and done some counting? (I think that might be the answer but I haven't got there yet)

Comment Mighty Mole

I'm doing very well at finding it then! Looking forward to find a home for a pot of sticky insects. As far as other tasks to be done I am not rich enough yet nor have any where posh to go. But have an idea of wher ethat will be later.

I'm glad you liked it. {especially Simon's fingers- and the reason I added it ;) }

3 out of 5 trophies well done ;)

Review max

14 Nov 2008

Whew. This was a great game. I can really tell that you're getting better at making these. Great humor and nice subtle clues in the descriptions. I especially liked the interaction with Simon as a foreshadowing of what to do later. That took me a while to work out (that and looking for the bolt cutters).

I only got 3 out of 5 trophies though. Any clues on the others? I got the Explorer, Exorcist, and Best Best Man.

Comment CJ592

14 Nov 2008

Don't forget you can type in 'tasks' to see the things you have to do

Comment Mighty Mole

14 Nov 2008

Thanks I'd tried to kick hit punch and thump the tree and various other things to get the cat down!

Having done well since I am stuck. Probably need skull next but not sure where look. Have tried using trowel everywhere I think!

Comment Hannah

I had the bucket full of sand...no wonder. Thanks and great game :)

Comment CJ592

13 Nov 2008

TO empty the bucket just Use bucket on ...... whatever you filled it with in the first place. If it water, use bucket on drain. If its sand use bucket on sand etc....
hope that helps

Shake the tree!

Comment Mighty Mole

13 Nov 2008

Looks a great came. Unfortuately I haven't got very far yet. How do I empty the bucket when I have something else in other than what I want.
Also cat is still up the tree and I've not got the furnace alight.

Comment CJ592

13 Nov 2008

Yep! You need bolt cutters

Comment max

13 Nov 2008

Seriously... Do I need to find bolt cutters?

Comment CJ592

13 Nov 2008

To get the water from the pump...
use bucket on drain (this places the bucket directly underneath the pump)
Turn pump
Now the bucket should disappear and a bucket of water should appear

Comment Hannah

13 Nov 2008

I feel silly, as it seems like it should be obvious, but I can't collect the water from the pump no matter what I try.

Well I've advanced. I'm not sure how to get the diamond out of the cutter, or where to find someplace posh. But mostly I'd like to know where to find Jack's skull.

That was my thought. But when I tried to put something sticky on the steps, it didn't work. Perhaps I am using the wrong tactic.

Hi! This is probably my favourite of all your games so far....! Great stuff! Unfortunately I am stuck fairly near the end I think. I have assembled my *toy* but still cannot find a way into the tent. I cannot find the skull and don't know what to do with the trowel! Am going round and round and round in circles but can't seem to make the breakthrough on this one! Please help!!!!! Thanks!
