cyril50{Spoiler Last Pipe} You have to also turn the gauge on the top right corner, it took me forever to figure that out!

Hey, where did everybody go? Seems like there ought to be 4-5 of us underachievers still left! Or is everybody like me terminally stuck flying through the orchard? I CLEARLY need to borrow a kid with way quicker reaction times than me, but it is the pandemic after all. Didnt Colibri envision that and put a "skip due to social-distancing" feature in their game? Even after reading all the hints & spoilers from our overachievers who have already finished, I'm an utter failure here. Got what I thought was "really far" on one pass...then made the mistake of looking at the video from pennmom , of this game...and found how much more there was yet to go in the orchard. Aaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhh!

I did it!! I did it! I DID IT!!!!!!!!!! Unlike pennmom 's experience, though, I found the "secret" was to copy smitty189 's approach - start on the right but end on the left and, in fact, do most of my flying on the left. Looks like lots less room, but turned out to be just enough. Although I'd tried 10 million times on the right, got it on only my 2nd try doing it on the left. One other thing I noted though - I was still missing 1 jigsaw puzzle piece when I finally got my plane loaded, but it took off to the next site before I had a chance to go find the last piece. So far, that doesnt seem to be an impediment yet and I was able to do the next jigsaw step & have the game skip to the next "continue" point. Hope that luck holds!

lurkercat, YAY!!!! I hated that arcade game too but you will be happy to know that there are no more arcade games so it's smooth sailing from this point! RE: jigsaw puzzle pieces: in the final chapter the last puzzle piece is "revealed elsewhere" after completing a different action. cyril50 & joybelle are you still playing? Are you stuck or just have RL getting in the way?

lurkercat , smitty189 , joybelle , suzanne , cyril50 suzanne , keep at it champ, the last 2 chapters are pretty short and a lot easier as far as puzzles go, you can always check my Screenshots for solutions to get past most of them lurkercat, how you doing, how's the computer holding up lol Shaking Computer PS: there are a couple of puzzles apparently that don't require you to do them from what I've been reading, the gyro puzzle is one of them (I hated that one!) I think next the game we play should be an old-school HOPA to get more people involved in Group play. I was thinking we should pick a series and start from the beginning 1st game such as Mystery Trackers The Void or something similar? Thoughts?? (one game at a time of course)

oh gosh ..... if I read your threads I am absoluty behind! Still in chapter two, still missing the skip button, and if I hear about the other Arcada games ,,, anyway I probably try on the weekend again, and I hoping that everybody is for me, once I finished the game! (I guess so in 2, 3 month .) I,m not giving up yet!!!! not yet! I love the game as well! 🥰

lurkercat, how you doing, how's the computer holding up Computer is doing fine, but my cat did learn a lot of new words while I was trying to get through the orchard! I was stopped for awhile at the tantagram in Chapter 4....I am absolutely terrible at those things. Eventually had to cheat by looking up the 1st column of the solution from pennmom 's screen shot, and even with that help it still took me a lot of moving parts around to finally get the solution. Figuring all should be smooth sailing from here. . Hmmm, and I have no idea why my "quick quote" didnt put quotes around pennmom 's message, so I just moved it to the center (and no, I also dont know why the bear is still sitting in column 1!). Will have to figure out how to get the quote marks with quick quotes...but it is more fun playing The Tiny Bang Story, so that investigation will have to wait for a bit!
Oh, look at that - it puts the quote in a neat little box - that didnt show up when I switched between preview & BBCode! Knowing how it works now, I love the quick quote feature!!

Can someone explain to me what the goal is of the pipe puzzle is near the start of Chapter 5 (one where the 5 valves are needed in the little building in the bottom right of the 1st screen). I put the valves so water flow is possible (I thought) from the bottom left to each of the blue thingies on the right, but the game didnt like it. I've seen the solution in pennmom 's screen shot but have no clue what makes that any "righter" than the arrangement I had. I must somehow have either the goal or the resultant effect wrong. Could somebody enlighten me please?? Thanks.

check the answer i posted to Cyril50 earlier, there's a gauge upper right too Sorry, pennmom , not THAT pipe problem - I got that one with no problem. This one is the one where we need to add 5 red valves to an already-placed, convoluted set of pipes at the place the little boat sails away to at the end of the previous chapter. One I'm confused at is the one that matches this picture from your Chapter 5 screen shots:

lurkercat, that was my solution, maybe the game is random?

pennmom , smitty189 , joybelle , suzanne , frezo , Grrrrrrrrrrrr! @#$%&^*/# So, did you need to do anything else after placing the valves in order for the 2 blue circles on the right to go clear and the red X at the top to turn to a green check??? I placed my valves exactly as you had them pennmom , and nothing happened. So, I tried to make sure I had all my valves exactly like yours. But 2 of yours (the outermost ones on the lower row) have the cross braces in the valves showing as lying directly upright (eg, north-south, east-west). Only 1 of my valves has that configuration (and none of the others assume that configuration when I put them on the corresponding sockets). I'm at a complete loss as to why my valves look different than yours & if there is something else I need to do. I tried clicking on the little projection on the roundish section above the bottom left (and anywhere else I could think to click). Tried to "turn" my valves after they were in position, but the game just thinks I want to take them off their connection. I'm out of ideas.....and I still dont have any clue of what I'm trying to make the valves do. Had thought I needed to place them so that when "on", they provided pathways for the bottom left dot to reach the 2 dots on the side (which includes an assumption that any connection point without a valve stops the flow of water). But after seeing no blue on your 2 side dots, I'm thinking maybe it should be the opposite (ie, the nodes WITH the valves stop water flow & the nodes without allow flow), but even that seems inconsistent with the solution. &%#$!@&$....little Tipper really doesnt need to learn all the new words he is hearing!
