Kathleen, welcome to the Fish Pond. Click on the arrow tip and drag it to where it's positioned to hit the target....and hold the click. Watch the meter on the left until it's completely red. Then release the mouse button and arrow will shoot. Repeat as needed until you've succeeded. The piece will be shown in the scarecrow's head.. Good Luck

Hi lcoffbaby- welcome to the forums!

Sorry you are having trouble. You could try updating your video card drivers. I would also check out the help section here- there are lots of tip. If noe of that works, you may need to contact tech support.

Oh my! My tentacles are quivering in disbelief.....I'm getting help from THE prpldva??? I'm not worthy, i'm not worthy!!.....Lol just kidding prp, i am not, let's see how do i say this?....i am not wise in the mysterious ways of the heavy breathing box with the blinking lights that some have referred to as a computer; all i am comfortable with is my large game machine that sits atop a piece of heavy oak furniture in my home office

Seriously though, thanks so much for the help: the help you gave me and the help you give all of your pondmates.

Hi, my first time here.. thanks for a place for help.. I also am enjoying this game.. hope there will be more like this one.
My problem is that I completed the Greece part.. but am taken directly to Oasis and not the Graveyard, so I can't complete Graveyard stuff... like a lion head should go here, etc.. How do I find the graveyard? Thanks

YEA! I found the graveyard (went to a different walkthrough and found out how to get there).
I have another question: Is there any way to minimize the screen while playing so you can go get a hint in one of the guides? gets old exiting the whole game, then finding the right place again when you need as much help as I do

Indybarb, welcome to the Fish Pond. If you have a Windows key on your keyboard, you can click on it and it will pause your game and minimize it.
...If not, you can go to options and unclick the full screen option. Hope that helps. Good Luck

Be careful though, if you are still using the trial remember that you have it minimized. I have used up 60 minutes more than once while the game was minimized and a phone call or something else distracted me. In fact I logged in today to see what the gang thinks of Lost in the City because about all I saw of it was the first 3 minutes. But I had it open for 60 minutes so no free test for me. lol

Thanks for this tip! I was just cruising through the forums & found it by accident but am sure glad I did as it will come in handy quite often. Thanks again!

Hi Indybarb- welcome to the forums! Here's what I posted in other threads.


CLOCK PUZZLE

1. pick two numbers that are next to each other, any where on the outer wheel
for example- 5 and 9

2. add them together = 14

3. find that number on the next wheel and rotate it around so the lines around the 14 match up with the lines around the 5 and 9

4. if that number (14) is not on the wheel, forget the 5. add the 9 with the number next to it, then rotate the wheel so they match up.

5. check that all the other pairs of numbers add up to the number from the 2nd wheel that's by them

6. do not move the second wheel

7. now repeat the process, choosing 2 numbers from the second wheel and rotate the third wheel until the sums are equal.

Continue until you reach the center. If you are sure the sums are correct- make sure all the lines between the numbers are lined up.

I hope this helps.
