Most interaction in this game is done by left-clicking objects in the picture. Sometimes this will cause a change in the picture, other times it will cause you to pick up an object.

Objects that are picked up can be used immediately by moving the object over the correct location and left-clicking, or added to your inventory for later use by moving the mouse to the top of the screen and left-clicking when the inventory bar appears. You will know if an object can be used in a location if the object changes colour to yellow. Objects from your inventory can be selected by moving your mouse to the top of the screen, then left-clicking the desired object when the inventory bar appears.

Some objects in the world need to be dragged by left-clicking and holding down the mouse button, then moving the mouse to drag the object in the desired direction.

Pressing the ESC key brings up the game’s menu, and allows you to adjust the sound and reset a puzzle you have already completed. Clicking the eye found in the top-right corner of the screen will provide a hint, which you can hide by clicking the eye a second time.

Stage 14

• In the bucket on the bottom-left of the screen, grab a TV antenna and drag it over to the dome on top of the television, left-click.
• The red bucket in the bottom-left corner of the screen has a clock on it, with one hand pointing between 12 o’clock and 1 o’clock, and one hand pointing between 2 o’clock and 3 o’clock.
• The television has two dials, each with a small dot on the dial. You can rotate the dials by left-clicking and holding down the mouse button, then moving the mouse left or right. To solve this puzzle you will need to move the dials so they match the time on a clock; the dot is where the “hand” is pointing on the “clock”.
• Start by moving the top dial so the dot sits between 12 o’clock and 1 o’clock, and then the bottom dial so the dot sits between 2 o’clock and 3 o’clock.
• By grabbing the top part of the antennas (hold down the left mouse button), you can rotate them by moving the mouse. You need to rotate the antenna until they match the picture on the bucket. If done correctly, a picture will appear on the television screen.
• Observe the poster in the back, as well as the can of fish on the left-side of the screen.
  • An apple equals 7.
  • A fish equals 2.
  • A grape equals an apple (7) plus 5, therefore a grape equals 12.
  • An apple (7) equals a banana plus 1, therefore a banana equals 6.
• With those values established, we can now solve the remaining problems on the sign.
  • An apple (7) plus a grape (12) plus a banana (6) equals 25.
  • A banana (6) multiplied by an apple (7) equals 42.
  • A fish (2) plus a banana (6) multiplied by an apple (7) equals 44; this is because we have to multiply before we add.
  • An apple (7) plus a grape (12) minus ? equals a banana (6), therefore ? equals 13.
• This next part works mostly the same as the dial puzzle above, but with some important changes. The dials on the television are numbered 0 through 9; unlike before where you needed to point to a position on a clock, you now need to point to the correct number on the dial. You will need to change the top and bottom dial four times, with each change the dots need to point to the numbers indicated on the poster (the solutions to the math problems); the top dial represents the first number, and the bottom dial the second number. So for example, 25 means the top dial points at 2, and the bottom dial points at 5. Each time you correctly move the dials, the image on the television screen will change to show you were successful.
