This is a point-and-click puzzle game with different levels by the University of Salford. Click the correct places to finish the game. Good luck :)

Play Here (http://curious.salford.ac.uk/)

(Currently there might be a problem on level 2: if 2 tiles on your slider puzzle are switched, it's impossible to solve it. You then need to replay it. Hopefully this problem will be fixed soon)

[Mistery]

Lol, I can't start level 2
I think that I've got the dice correct - at least they gave a special sound - but I'm stuck. Ummm... not sure about dice, also other positions give that sound :(

[Lilliputt]

Huh? I am on level 2 now.... hmmm. First level was fun! :D

[Mistery]

Got it for level 2 :D
2x6 ;)

[youblues]

Mistery, I'm on level 2, stuck on top of 'painting' thing.

get both dice to show 6, then pull birds

[ethel]

I'm stuck on the painting anyone got any further

NVM figured it out

[Mistery]

@youblues
Feed the cow with leaves ;)

OMB, again a slider puzzle :(

[Lilliputt]

Yeah, you gotta take advantage of the
leaves above you ;)

[Mindsmasher]

a hate slide puzzles! bleeaaah! :P

Edit:

I already forgot how this picture suppose to look like, I give up :(

[Mistery]

Me, too :( :( :(

[youblues]

I'm stuck on the slide puzzle, the hints and tips page says there's a cheat, but I can't find it. Any clues?

[sea_master]

nice game.. im starting lvl 3

[Mistery]

ARGH, it's always 2 tiles that I got wrong :(

[sea_master]

I'm stuck on the slide puzzle, the hints and tips page says there's a cheat, but I can't find it. Any clues?
look on the background

im stuck on 3 any help?

[jack]

That was a fun (although strange) game. Thanks for posting.

[Mistery]

Hmmm, is the slider puzzle solvable if there are always 2 tiles that are exchanged?

[jack]

Post a picture. Which two tiles?

[Mindsmasher]

I tried again...As for my picture I've got two right tiles switched, those with the guy

[Mistery]

The upper bodies of woman and man. Or, if I have the woman correct, the upper body and lower body of the man.

I seem to have the same problem as Mindsmasher.

[jack]

Can one of you post a picture of your problem? I completed it, so if its the same every time its possible. If its random maybe not.

Any hints on how to start lvl3?


As far as the picture goes...if you justlook at the windows in the background and match them up you will get it right

[Mindsmasher]

maaan! I never had that huge problems with this kind of puzzles :angry-dude:

[youblues]

lvl3
listen to the clocks

[Mindsmasher]

ok, now I quit for good.

[jack]

@Mistery and Mindsmasher

I'm pretty sure that is impossible to solve. You may want to restart.

[Mistery]

@Mistery and Mindsmasher

I'm pretty sure that is impossible to solve. You may want to restart.

Yep, this is what I thought, too :(

I don't have the patience now to restart, but I'll do a bit later.
Thank you Jack for checking :)

[Ravensd]

lvl3
listen to the clocks



Thanx

[Mindsmasher]

hmm, the thing is that I restarted it before and still had problem with solving it. Well, time to find another game :wink:

[jack]

Here is a solver for one of these to test the possibility.

turn mic on, click giraffe, click squirrel

[Lilliputt]

Finally! :leb: By accident I pushed the wrong button and had to redo lvl 1. I think it is strange that you cannot load levels you have finished from the start. :@ Other than that a really funny and silly game :)

[Ravensd]

turn mic on, click giraffe, click squirrel


I must be missing something you guys keep talkin about the train...I'm not up to that part yet. I'm trying to figure out how to get of the string that I ended lvl 6 on and started lvl 7 on. I've been looking for a hot spot for a while now and I can't seem to click anything no nuts no leaves no mic no nothing.

Push the red button on the microphone, then click the leftmost giraffe. A train will appear and the little white dude jumps down

[Ravensd]

after the baby....the nuts and leaves and mic and all that are there i just can't click on anything when the level started this is what i did
pulled the four levers on the side of the building that caused steps on the ground to rise that's as far as i've gotten.



Edit: @ Lilliputt must be a slight bug in the game cuz I can't do that it won't let me.

[Lilliputt]

@Ravensd

[Ravensd]

I just started over to see if that helps



Edit: It worked this time.

[perhonen]

For the sliding puzzle: after I nearly gave up and started over (nearly!) I clicked the what-ever-player a few times and suddenly the puzzle solved itself

Click around the turbine some more.

[utkbrent]

Im stuck on 5 with the fruits and crayons. Ive gotten all the fruits into the lampshade on the guys head, but the only things you can click on are the radio, the guy and the button, and none of them do anything....not sure where to go or if i did something wrong.

[silverflagon]

I finished it and pretty quickly too, but I love crazy things like this game :D

I'm stuck at the beginning of level 3. someone said something about the clock, but i'm at work and don't have sound on my computer.

[bhalmrast]

I tried listening to the clocks, but it doesn't help me...

[Qinqi]

[LeXy]

hi, first time doing this. Can someone help me with the dang crayons

Anybody Here

[MollyMac]

Ok.. this is my first post in the forums. I am hopelessly addicted to the escape games though I am not very good at them yet. I am hoping someone is around to lend me assistance. I feel like I know some of you already, having read so many posts of yours. :)

I am trying level 3.. the clues given have not been able to penetrate my thick skull. I have listened to the clocks.. and Simon Says makes no lightbulbs go off.

Anyone??.. Help?..

thanks in advance.. Molly

HELP!~

Where's everybody at!! hehe

Molly

Got it! Sheesh Im dense.. lol

Molly


Sorry Mistery!! Won't happen again! Molly

[Xara]

Pull the candy canes left and then right until u have all 7 numbers dial the number and then feed your friend the chocolate syrup. Then activate the evil duck shut the windows on his act and you're free to go.
Hope that helps everyone out

[Qinqi]

How do you feed the syrup?

Nevermind, got it!

[Thunderdolly]

Hello everyone I'm a newbie here and a complete idiot when it comes to games (as this my first post proves) How the hell do you get the game started? I've clicked everywhere and still stuck on the start page :S

Never mind my pc just needed re-booting doh! :$

[holidaygirl]

Ok, here's what you do:

click twice on the sport team, twice on the airplane, and twice on the team again. IMPORTANT!!!!: You have to do this when the guy's eyes are looking at the team and the plane while you're doing this!

[Missy_Black]

I finished the game in 24 mins and 36 seconds....It was an awesome game!
:sexe:

[brainisdead]

Cant get past level 6, totally stuck next to that baby.

[Missy_Black]

I got the guy into the handle of the bottle thing, and now I'm stuck! From reading the posts, I assume the fruit needs to go into the guys lamp-head, but like I said, it goed behind the hills when I drag it.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thankees in advance!

Huh. Did you look behind the sunflower? Don't the shapes & colors look familiar?

[TheImpQueen]

They look like the fruit, and I'm pretty sure that's the order they go in, but I can't get them to the guys head...they just move behind the hills...

[Evita]

That was a fun little game

got out in 30 mins and 41 secs--without help! Got a little stuck on lvl 5 but that was about all.

[Jeral]

Oh. Just keep pushing the crayons down 1 by 1.

[PurpleNurple]

Totally stuck on lvl 7!!!! After the scorpion I can't click anything!!!!! Help! I tried the handles but nothing...... restarted the game twice, going insane.....
