Get Rid of the Crows

I am really disappointed that there is no work-around for the Crows puzzle. I have tried to solve this so many times that I give up. My old arthritic fingers can't go fast enough. I have tried all the pictures offered on this web-sight and others, but just can't do it.

Why didn't they make this puzzle so as you could lengthen the time or just give up and go on? What a shame I can't finish the game. Didn't have a bit of trouble until I got to this puzzle. No where on the box did it say "timed puzzles."

Girlwonder, I'm with you. I am stuck exactly at the same spot you are, with those odious crows. I have been trying this on and off and can't get the crows on time. I also feel cheated this game does not say anywhere that at some point there will be a timed puzzle. That is not fair. So, next time a Nancy Drew game comes along, pls forget about me spending my money on it.

I ALSO AM STUCK ON THIS PART OF THE GAME NO MATTER HOW FAST I TRY TO GO I ALWAYS TIME OUT. IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ALL THE REQUIRED ITEMS, I WISH I COULD JUST GO PAST THIS. I HAVE PLAYED AND TRIED FOR MANY HOURS AND THIS GAME IS TURNING INTO A NIGHTMARE. MY ADVICE IS NOT TO BUY IT!!!!!!!

I agree with all of you. I even tried printing the scene and marking the bird colors etc. and nothing. I had absolutely no problem with the game until I reached this puzzle. I have tried over and over to complete and move on. I am disappointed, because there is no skip, and I can not go any farther to finish the game. I am really sorry that a game that was really enjoyable has ended in an incomplete. I probably will not frustrate myself anymore trying to solve this puzzle.

It took me a gazillion tried before I got through that horrid part. I guess I just got lucky. When you least expect it, you'll do it.

At first I didn't see the timer at the bottom and kept wondering why I couldn't get ahead. Then I saw that I would get to 3 crows and the time would be up. My husband said to "toss the game". Around 20 times later, I made note of where the blue things were to match the blue tags on the crows because basically, there's not enough blue to go around. There's no excuse to make (what is supposed to be a "game") so ridiculously frustrating.

I'm about ready to give up and move on to another game. I've had the same problem with other Nancy Drew games and failed to finish 2 because there was no "skip" feature.

Edit:

I found a walkthrough, printed out the screenshot showing the crows and their matches and finally got past them. What a pain.

i too am stuck in the same location. i am a cancer survivor. my doc told me to do puzzles to keep my mind stimulated, but this is just a big disappoitment. i cannot do it!!! i did love this game, until now.
