Everyone has seemed to enjoy this a lot. I'm downloading now

This game is great! I stayed up WAY past my bedtime playing it last night.

Looks like a great game! Scarlet, how long would you say it is?

Hi all!!! I'm playing Magic Encyclopedia right now, but am stuck in Egypt. I'm trying to figure out the mini game where you can't have the beams from the gems overlap, but am having problems. If anyone who has passed it would help, that would be great!!!

Hi, I'm in Africa and I can't get the last piece from the hut with the boiling pot. I put in the thistle, coconut, salt and crushed tooth, stirred, brought to a boil, but nothing happens. I don't know if I supposed to have the spoon and mineral salt left in my inventory but I do. I've tried using them on the pot, but nothing. The last piece of hammer is hidden, I'm guessing in the pot, but can't get it. Anybody up to this part yet?

Nevermind, I found out why.

I don't have a hammer. I can't find the last piece for it.

Try to get some more saves they help a lot. So far I have 30.

Sherryah the face in the mirror has to be worked from the outside edge in, I had the same problem, you also have to make sure the little lines line up too.
I'm loving this game. It's the math one that's got me, I hate have always hated maths, I was so happy when I discovered Spreadsheets. I could be a long time with that clock in the saloon.

You have to grind the salt in the mortar and pestle before you put it in the pot.

Also, in untangling the beams of light that overlap, I visualized untangling a knotted garden hose or a necklace chain. It helped "see" what I needed to do.

Darlene: I stayed up all night playing this game. It must have taken me at least 8 hours to play from start to finish.

Thanks for the feedback, Scarlet! I think this one is a keeper!

In the wild west
I have tried and tried to finish the math puzzle rings and failed.

Oh I hate this puzzle!

Do the puzzle pieces lock when correct?

Please can someone help me figure this out? I understand you are to add the outer ring that doesn't move with the second ring correct? But what does this have to do with the small inner ring with the 4 sets of numbers? Do all the rings around the 2nd circle have to add up perfectly?

I am so very stuck and fear its the end of the game for me here.
Please rescue this fair maiden in distress.

Johnnycowgirl did you get past this one yet?

Nope! I always go off and play something else for a while, I hope when I go back I have found out some magical fix. Ido hate numbers
Inge
P. S. I wish it wouldn't put my full name at the bottom I always foorget to un tick.

This is how I did it.

Start at the center, pick a number, then find the next set of numbers that add up to it. Line them up and all the other numbers will be lined up correctly, then go to the next set of numbers to find the right combination, now you have all 3 inner circles lined up. Write down your combinations as they appear. Leave them alone until you can find a combination of numbers that add up to whatever number you pick. Then turn the sections one at a time to line up with the outer combination, keeping in mind the way the inner 3 were connected.

Try to concentrate on one center number all the way through.

Hope this helps.

I'm stuck in Africa. I got all the wood for the bridge, but when I clicked it, it just went on the ground and the bridge is still not fixed. Also, I have chalk and a spoon, but no salt. I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do with them. Spoon for mixing once I find the salt, but what about the chalk for drawing. I tried clicking for hints, but on every scene, I either get "remaining objects are hidden" or "you have what you need, now figure it out" DUH if I could figure it out, would I have clicked on the hints button?!?! Oh yeah, I also am missing 1 crystal in England, but I get the same messages, so I can't get a flag on the location.

Thx in advance for any help

I'm stuck in the very beginning -- the screen with the mouth thing over at the right of the screen and the thing that you put in the building that now lets you punch in symbols. I've found all the item parts, but I don't know what three symbols to punch in. I used a Hint and all it said was "Solve the puzzle." (Stupid useless hint). Is this a process of elimination to choose which three symbols to type in? Do I have to sit there typing in all combinations of 3 out of 9 symbols? Or is there a clue somewhere on the screen?

Sherryah: The number puzzle is in a circle with rings. When it's completed, the entire circle will be divided into quarters. (Notice the inner circle is divided in quarters.) Pick one of those four numbers and start moving the surrounding rings. Yep, it's a tough one!

x2kul: The salt is a block that is hidden inside an object that needs completed. (Do you want more info?) Remember to grind the salt in the mortar and pestle before you add it to the pot. The ingredients and spoon disappear once everything is completed correctly. The chalk is used to draw a mouth on an African mask. The hot spot is kind of small and easy to miss. It will say, "This mask needs a mouth." I think its in the center right of the village scene. Just having the wood for the bridge is not enough. You have to complete the hammer and the final piece of the hammer head is hidden inside an object that needs completed. Once you have the wood and hammer, go to the bridge and click the hammer on the bridge.

Jenny100: I have to go back and look at that scene again. There's a puzzle nearby that needs to be done and then three "smoke signal" type emblems appear and light up to show which three symbols you need. Not sure if the symbols are random but I'm guessing they are. For what it's worth, the three symbols I had were the circle with four little spurs at each quarter, the circle that looks like crosshairs on a rifle scope and the symbol that looks like a backwards C. If you still can't find it, I can post the exact puzzle you need to solve.

Sherryah
I'm having the same trouble with the numbers as your having. It would take me about 1 hr. to add all the numbers up. I think the timer is about 5 minutes. Not enough time.
Richard

IIRC, you need to use the clippers to clip the branches at the top of the temple in the middle and you also have to place something else at the top of the right building which creates a reflection from the sun or something like that (I did it yesterday but can't remember). Anyway, once all that is done, it will show you what 3 symbols to punch in.

ETA: Oops, Scarlet already answered this.

Thanks ScarletD

That puzzle is making me nervous

Thank you for your great explanation about the number wheel. I am doing the victory dance

I couldn't solve it but my beloved husband Niko solved it in one minute! So if all else fails get a math whiz who can add in their heads that is the only way I would have ever solved this.

OMG OMG OMG OMGGGG It all depended on that stupid chalk and the mask. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

I just finished fixing the bridge, and am continuing on with the game. Props to you ScarletDragon

Sherryah

I'm glad he got it and you can move on

Sherryah
So glad you solved the puzzle I'm still working on it.

I finally got the number puzzle and I have NO idea what I did. It said on the top complete. Ya Ya

Richard

Booyah to Sherryah, x2kul, and kjos. Glad you're unstuck. Enjoy the rest of the game!

Please help if you can I'm in the Oasis and Graveyard no more hints available they are all hidden can't find the rest of cross, hand or matches. And can't find the last piece of shield in the graveyard and horn and court sword. Boy I'm really stuck.
