Strategy Guide

[Post New]by Shade55 on Oct 31, 07 6:29 PM
I just downloaded the game and the strategy guide but I can't find the guide. When I click on the strategy guide in the game menu , it just takes
me to the Big Fish website and tells me to download the guide. Can any-
one tell me what to do?

I'm so new at this I probably shouldn't answer ... but since it looks like no one else has replied, I'll try it.
When I downloaded MCF Ravenhearst AND the Strategy Guide, I ended up with two icons on my desktop. There's one with a raven on it, that starts the game. There's another one with the "Big Fish" on it, that starts the Strategy Guide. Clicking "Strategy Guide" on the startup page of the game does exactly what you described--takes you online to Big Fish as though you hadn't already downloaded the guide.
I may be doing something wrong, but I have to "Quit" the game if I want to access the Strategy Guide. This is something of a big pain! I must say, though, in reading questions from other players, the guide is worth owning.
Hope this was helpful.

Margaret got it right. The Strategy Guide works in the same fashion as the game; you cannot have both open at the same time unfortunately. Hope the guide helps you out!

Also, for those of you who have been thinking about trying this, you can't print sections of the Guide to your printer. I had to sit with a notebook and write down all of the instructions for each of the locked room puzzles so that I could open the doors. I got 3 puzzle doors open on my own, but the rest were too complicated for me to figure out myself, so I used the guide to unlock the rest of the doors.

I also tried to print sections from the guide by scrolling down the Guide to the door puzzle I wanted to copy by pressing Control and Print Screen buttons, opening up a Word blank page, and tried to paste the image of the Guide page - but it didn't work, no matter how many times I tried. Also, highlighting a Guide page, copying it, and trying to paste it into a blank Word page doesn't work either.

So save yourselves some sweat! Do it the hard way-take notes in a notebook the way I did, and then work the door puzzles.

I'm having trouble getting past the chicken in the guest quarters.the toast has popped up, it's at 3 1/2.
I fill that dumb dish using 3 spades 2 diamonds two clubs ( I think that's what it is) the chicken eats but thats as far as I get . I can't get past that.
I have the battery in place also.

You don't have to take notes, take screen shots of what you need...save them on your desktop for future reference.
