I am completely stuck and about at the point of tears with the game American Girl Julie Saves the Eagles. This is a "kid's game" so I doubt anyone has played it but I'm taking a chance posting here because I can't think of anywhere else to go. Has anyone played (and won :)) this game who could help me? Or does anyone have advice on how I could get a hint since there isn't a w/t or forum to be found on it. I really appreciate it.

aln,

IGN and Gamespy state that this is an RPG game.
I'll move you to that forum.

Aln, I'm sorry this is so frustrating! It sounds like the game could be fun to play - who wouldn't want to save eagles!
I haven't played it, and you're right, there don't seem to be hints anywhere for it on the internet. Have you tried these things in the game though - asked your Mom and best friend Ivy for hints? Gone to the school library - some answers there? Tell me what the problem is and I'll keep looking.

This isn't an RPG though, don't know why those sites would call it that. Maybe because you're playing the role of Julie. A hybrid adventure game with two mini-strategy games included. grin

Need Help also!! My daughter got this game for christmas and we are stuck - I cannot find help anywhere. I have even attempted to contact thq - no response. We cannot get the camera from her dad - there are no walkthroughs or hints anywhere on line - I feel bad for my daughter.

Welcome to Gameboomers GR. I feel bad for you and your daughter, and am sure it's very frustrating. I assume you tried the things I mentioned above, and still are stuck? A couple questions - did you contact THQ by their official request form? Here it is. Is some other company listed on the game as well as THQ? THQ doesn't even list the game in their data base, although I know their name is on the game box.

Ah, here we go. THQ is the publisher, but Imaginengine is the developer. They don't list an email address, but the other contact information for them is : 1881 Worcester Rd., Suite 201, Framingham, MA 01702
ph. 508.739.0120, fx. 508.739.0125

Also, another possibility, and maybe the best suggestion. Here is a review on the game, written by the editor of that site. It might help to contact her and ask her about the game. You can reach the editor at info@games4girls.com
luck
If all else fails, I'll go looking for the game to play myself.

Hi Nickie smile
here's the link to the game's website:
(or rather to a website where you can order the game)

http://store.americangirl.com/agshop/htm...Id/657#moreInfo

where you can order the game, if you want.

Thanks Karsten. Sorry, I removed that other link because some of the other games on that site I'm not sure they have a right to offer. American girl itself was ok.
Let us know if you play it! thumbsup

Hi Nickie

That's OK as I asked you to do so...

However, I haven't been able to play the game at all frown
And even if I were to get the boxed version, it would probably end up costing me about twice as much with tax, freight and shipping + customs.

I'll try again, though..

edit:

I just tried again and found this:

https://fe.trymedia.com/magnus/bbyt.html...t_07om&dm=# (this looks legit, does it, nickie?)

Anyway, I got this error code, so it looks OK to me, since it mentions that they have gotten permissions from to publisher to sell this game in Denmark (or maybe in Europe?) at all.

It looks okay from what I can see. The game was ok on the other site, it was just some of the other games they were offering that were free were brand new and so it was unlikely they were legit for free. You did ask, and I appreciate you doing that.

You were trying to play the demo and it just wouldn't work? Thanks so much for trying!

GR, I do have an answer for you. Have just played enough to answer the camera question. Click on the spoiler below for an answer.
Click to reveal..
You talk to Julie's Dad and he says he needs a flashlight before he will look for the camera in the dark attic. What have you seen so far that has a light? TJ's bike (TJ is playing basketball outside the library). Look at it on the bicycle, and then ask TJ if you can borrow it. He lets you borrow it, but it isn't working. It needs batteries. Go to Julie's Mom and ask her help. She says she has something you might need upstairs. In the kitchen, look in the refrigerator and get batteries. In inventory, combine the lamp from the bike with the batteries, and give the new combined item to Julie's Dad. Then click on him to talk to him again, and ask to borrow the camera, which he then lets you borrow.



Aln, I haven't finished the game. If you let me know where you're stuck, I'll post if I can find an answer.

Thanks! I can't get the fish seller to give me the fish to feed the eagles. I really appreciate the help. Have a great night!

Hi Aln! Do you have a bucket yet?
You find the bucket

in the kitchen, in the cabinet underneath the sink

Let me know if you do, and still can't get the guy to cooperate.

I have the bucket and he keeps saying to "show him something about the eagles" I try the picture of the eagles - including the one of the baby - and the brochure for the museum and still nothing.
Thanks again!

First of all, it sounds like you, aln, has done everything OK so far. So here's an idea you might try:

Does the game give you any hints as to what fish the eagles like to eat or something like that? Maybe the fisherman will only give you the correct fish as food for the eagles?

Just to be clear:

I haven't played the game, but most adventure games do have a certain logical way to proceed in the game. Ok, sometimes, even illogical ones, too - but most of the puzzles can be solved with some thought and trial and error. This is in no way, shape or form a critizism of you aln, or others, just an observation on how the gameplay in most adventure games seem to work.

Aln, have you gone to the library and read the book about eagles? It should then automatically put a note into your inventory, and you can show that to the man.

Karsten, that is true about all games and about life itself, but it doesn't mean we always see the route to take.

No eagles book in the library yet - only Chinese Medicine, Pesticides, and Butterflies. Any suggestions for a trigger for the book? Thanks again!

I'll have to play that part again to be sure, but I think it was triggered by clicking on the adult eagles in the cage ( back room of the rescue center). If not that, maybe just conversation with the rescue worker. Let me know, and if that doesn't do it, I'll go play that part again to see.

Thanks. I've done both of those things (several times :)) and still can't trigger it. Maybe I'm not clicking the exact right spot....
Which rescue worker is it? Just the lady in the rescue center?

Yes, that one. Have you done the petition yet? I'll replay the game later, but probably won't have an answer for you until tomorrow, ok?

I will check and see if I did the petition. (I put this one aside for a while :)) Don't think I could get anyone to sign, though.
Thanks again! No hurry. Have a great night and good luck!

Ok, replayed and this is what you need to do. You need to get a donation for the museum first.
You get a donation from
Click to reveal..
the kite shop on Julie's street
.

To get the donation
Click to reveal..
After looking at the kites and talking to the man about them and asking for a donation, you'll have to give him a fortune cookie with a better fortune inside it - you need to get the one that says something about generosity.


Once you get the donation
Click to reveal..
Take it to the girl at the rescue center. She will then tell you that it would be helpful for Julie to have more information about the eagles. The book about eagles will now be in the library, and once read will add a note to the inventory. Show the note to the fishmonger, and then click the bucket on him to get the fish.

Thanks. I will try those things but I just checked the game (before even reading your post :)) and found the four things I haven't done yet on my list - taking pictures of the butterflies, finding the mountain, getting the fish, and finding things to sell for earth day. Are any of those necessary to trigger the donation? If so, spoilers are very welcome on those too. smile
Thank you again so much. I really appreciate the help!

The spoilers I wrote above will check off the things to sell for earth day and getting the fish.

I've finished playing this game, and the other sites were mistaken. This is pure adventure, geared toward young women around age nine or the young of heart (I enjoyed it, and I'm over fifty).
So, I'm zooming this thread over to the adventure game hints forum, where it should have a home.
