Tips and Tricks for Crazy Machines

Place all your pieces on the board – A good way to begin a level is to take all your pieces from the left side of the screen and place them in the work area. This will help you visualize what needs to be done and what you have to work with.

Try and try again – A machine needs to be just right to work in the real world, and so it goes for this game. Don’t get frustrated if something looks right, but doesn’t perform correctly on this first attempt. Much like science, you’ll need to be patient and be will to try, and try again to succeed.

Think outside the box – Just because an item is normally used for one thing, doesn’t mean it won’t be used for something completely different on a later level. Don’t be afraid to experiment with items outside of their intended purpose. Some machines will require a mash-up of items in order to function.

These are just a few hints to help you out. If you have any other suggestions, post them below!

Hello everyone! Crazy Machines is indeed a tough game, and I've had some trouble with it myself. A lot of this game is based on trial and error. Here are a couple of solutions for those of you who are stuck.

Puzzle 4: Magnetism - Place the magnet about half way between the wooden post on the left, and the wood plank on the right with the red side of the magnet slightly above the level of the wooden plank. This placement should bring the bucket in line with the ball on its way down.

Puzzle 5: All in all - Place the bucket between the two boards to the left of the magnets, and place the two dominoes to the left of the domino that is above the domino on the bottom section. Then place the wooden peg slight left and above the wooden plank that the bottom domino is sitting on so that the ball will bounce off of it and onto the plank with the domino.

Puzzle 16: Blinker Device - First off all, you won't use the small generator you are given for this puzzle. Connect the middle gear in the middle of the screen with to the gear to the left of the top light bulb. Then place the solar panel to the left of the top light bulb, and connect a wire from the panel to the gear drive to left of the light bulb on the bottom, and place the other wire connecting the top gear drive with the empty socket near the battery.

I hope these help, good luck!
