Ummm, how do I open the package? Nice looking game btw.
You go to the tip of the rock and use it with the package.
Yeah you have to pixel hunt for it at the top.
Thanks I did that but am stuck now. I have
Spoiler
badge, pie, jar with molasses, finger print kit, comb, candle and spatula. I have molasses on the rock near hive.
Spoke with Hook, Smee, Witch, Gepato, Tin Soldier, and Pigs. Also been to castle area but only able to look at the rock.[/spoiler]
Oops screwed up part of that spoiler. sorry.
There is something you probably need in the harbor
Spoiler
more precisely, on the cannon.
Thanks, got that, but still stuck.
Spoiler
The fuse must be the "short on time" ingredient. I guess a worm the king uses for bait maybe can reduce a candy cane or the blue one by the pigs. I have molasses on the rock but don't know how to get honey. (For the comb no doubt.) The king would give me a crown if my pie had fishy stuff. I'm stuck at all these and also the shell game.
Spoiler
I have the comb, pillow cover, 4 leaf clover,
What now?
Crazy, where'd you get
Spoiler
clover and pillow case? You can use the fuse on the cannon and put in on the cherry by the witch, then use the fuse. I have the comb with honey now, and spoke to the ghost.
Huh? I can only explore the crime scene and the house? Am I missing something?
Edit: Ok got it.
Spoiler
Pillow from your room, glover behind guard
Thanks Crazy.
I have
Spoiler
Comb with honey and dust. spatula, pillow sheet, pie, lit candle, badge, print powder, jar with molasses. Stuck with ghost and king.
About the ghost
Spoiler
examine the ground to the right of the ghost. The earth is disturbed. You will find two items there
Spoiler
The king might also appreciate a more mundane bait. Magical worms are not all that they're cracked up to be, so after the graveyard...
Spoiler
Ok, I have the potion, but I can't administer it to Alphonse

Well, you cannot drink something when you are sneezing all the time... What do you do when you are sneezing muckus?
Spoiler
A magnet, the weird copper metal thing and a big blue cup? Intriguing... ok I'm stuck again.
Crazy
Spoiler
go back to the pigs' place and something will happen.
And I'm stuck:
Spoiler
Have file in pie but when I try to use it with bogey man she says "not yet." I have a fuzzy towel thing from the witch but not sure what that's for. Also have another bucket and file. Showed badge to monster too but that didn't do much.
My BBC! That... produced uninteresting results.
Crazy
Spoiler
if you have the blue cup (it's in your room) and you go to the pig's place, your cup should change to a bucket. Maybe you need to return twice. Then put the pig food in the bucket.
Spoiler
Re Towel: It's fluffy. As a kid, have you ever rubbed a ballon with a fluffy cloth to bring up sparks? And could you thing of something in your inventory that would look so much more fairytale if it was sparkling?
Um, I seem to be a bit stuck here:
Spoiler
I have the PI badge, fingerprint powder, copy-worm, spatula, cloth, used hanky, bucket, file, prepared pie, and another jar-o-molasses.
I can go round in circles all day collecting the blue cup, changing it into a bucket, collecting the food and file, and then using the food on the magnet. Nothing seems to make any difference? I can now get to H.A.L. although how I achieved that I'm not sure? Nothing seems to work against the bogey man.
If I try any items on Flim it says something about Ghosts? I thought I had finished that bit?
Oh and I've tried using the cloth on everything in my inventory.
Please help ???
Oh balls. I have an extra file :(
It also can't be used so I'm effectively trapped.
Crazy, no you're not. Just leave the screen to the right where the grave is and you can send just go directly to
Spoiler
HAL/the bogey man
Ghost, I tried what u said but nothing works.
Spoiler
I have badge, powder, worm, spatula, bucket, file, sheet, pie, jar. I guess I'm missing something from my inventory?
Right'O!
Edit: Nope "Too high and no direct route".
Crazy, maybe Ghost can help cause I have an extra one too and I can exit right from the screen with the grave and then go directly to the
Spoiler
bogey man
or to the other places.
Spoiler
use the cloth on the crude sword. then use the nearly magical sword on the bogey man
Ghost

What crude sword? Where is it? How do I get it?

I know, but it won't work for me. Perhaps you got the dupe after gaining entry?
Yeah, Crazy, I believe I did.
I reloaded a backup and got there I can't find the sword either, I wonder if the copper pipes are actually useful or just a red herring?

Copper pipes are
very useful!
Spoiler
They are too sharp for Red to to touch with her bare hands, so she needs something.... something made of wood maybe
Okay, I put a new version up that adresses this, but for those of you who are already that far:
Spoiler
You can enter HAL from the world map if you've been to the bridge before you got the extra file. If you didn't, you need to reload an earlier savegame where you either got one file, or have not used the bucket on the pig's food at all. Or get v3.1B because in that version, you cannot get an extra file.
Go to the Toy shop and get the Log.
Then, try to pick up the copper rods again: Hint!
And, yes, I wouldn't put copper pipes in a game without them having a use. These things are expensive!
I figured the sword myself.
Thanks for all the help along the way.
I got this comb, the lucky clover, and the pillow case but now I'm stuck at the crime scene and the house. Now what.

Geppetto may know something that can help you...
Spoiler
It seems you should talk to a few people, and do your job as a PI. This will, eventually, allow you to visit additional locations ;) This happens a LOT in the game- it is a gumshoe adventure at heart.
Interesting (and rather flattering) to see so many guests in the thread.
am totally lost.............
Spoiler
I have a file, bucket of food, sword, dirty cloth, cloth, etc. There is one copper rod left standing, have tried to use the file on things but with no joy - How do I get past the magnet? [\hide]
Spoiler
Someone posted a walkthrough in the hint thread, or maybe this one. You should use the bucket of food.
I feel completely dumb.
Spoiler
I'm trying to get my first clue on the case but I can't use the comb with the grass though Red said that she needs it to use the fingerprint powder on it. I have the badge, pillow filling, sample jar, pie and fingerprint powder. What have I missed?

Not here; I was truly stuck - didn't get the star fish bit.
Look at http://gamesolutions.efzeven.nl/once-upon-a-crime-walkthrough-bjorn-ghost-ludwig2008/
Hm, I'm stuck...
In the inventory I have
Spoiler
PI badge, sample glass, fingerprint powder, comb, spatula, fuse, pillowcase, cherry pie.
I have
Spoiler
won Mr Smee's game and ordered a cocktail (Hook has gone downstairs to make it), put molasses on the rock, talked to the pigs, Granny Smith and Neptune.
I don't seem to be able to do anything yet with

the rotten stone in the graveyard or the egg outside the tavern.
Thanks for any tips (no direct answers, please).

That's because you can't
Thanks, OneDollar. Unfortunately, I'm not sure that helps very much...
Spoiler
I already have the fuse. Why would I want to make a "cherry bomb"? I haven't done anything that suggests I would need one.
There are a few things that are not suggested but you still have to do. On the other hand... there are a few things suggested that you don't need to do... :D
This one is not suggested but hey... it's an adventure. Try the things that are not obvious just for fun. Or to get further in the game.
There's another one coming up in the game. Not suggested but needed to get further.
Poke the oven, run Forrest run.
Poke the oven becuz it's fun.
Poke the oven, excuse my pun.
Poke the oven. Poke the oven. POOOOOke the oven.
I'm not the best songwriter, I'll admit.

Kind of like "try everything on everything", then? Hm, that's not what I'd call fun. Oh well, I'll try that. Thanks for the hint. And thanks to Crazy, too.
Paolo:
Spoiler
be reassured, that is the only puzzle in OUAC which I solved using a "brute force" method.
Yay, I got there in the end!
Actually, there are two:
Spoiler
The starfish becomes royal
That one is a bit easier because it's an automated proces. But not mentioned anywhere.
Spoiler
I can only go to the crime scene and Geppetto's house... WHERE/HOW the hell can I go anywhere else?! this is soooooo freaking confusing! I've been playing this game for WEEKS now and I STILL can't figure that one out!

Have you...
Spoiler
* spoken to the tin soldier?
* opened the parcel?
* done the things that investigators usually do at a crime scene?
Yes, I've talked to everyone in those two areas
Spoiler
I tried getting a sample of strawberry jam if that's what you mean, but the tin soldier is way against it... should I use the pie on the strawberry jam to test the tin soldiers denial or something?
For weeks? It's been out that long? ;D
Spoiler
In OUAC you learn where new locations are when they are mentioned. To be blunt, talk to everybody ;)
Edit: I think Paolo put it down nicely.
vertigoaddictSpoiler
You can't do anything at the crime scene until you have the tin soldier's permission - presumably you've shown him your PI badge, or else you wouldn't have been able to get to the scene in the first place.
Have you used the fingerprint powder? This will reveal a suspect, who you can then go and investigate.
@Ghost
Sometimes when you get fustrated it feels like a whole 3 days have gone by, at least to me (I was exagurating obviously ^_6)
@Paolo and Ghost
Thank you, I get it now (*.*)
Regarding...
Spoiler
getting the fairy dust - I did this wrong first time round, and then reloaded a saved game and did it right the second time. But if I hadn't had that saved game, would there have been a way of getting the dust that was spilled? Presumably there is, because you can put down something to catch it...
Ah, I see how it can be done. Nice - a puzzle that you can solve in two slightly different ways.

Glad you figured it out, and I was not exactly serious ;D What would a game be without at least one "Ooooo that was so obvious!!!!" moment?
@Paolo: Only one way to solve it, but forgivingly, unlimited tries by simple resets. No puzzle can be brought into a state where you need to reload.
Hi !
I followed the walkthrough, I have to give the starfish to Granny but I can't. I gave her all the others ingredients but the starfish doesn't seem to be correct. Do I need to do something special with it before ?
If you followed mine it says:
Spoiler
Now only the crown. Go back to Lake Molasses.
Lake Molasses:
Oops. You have a DRIED-UP STARFISH now. It looks like a sort of crown. And remember Granny not seeing that well? Let's just give it a try. Go to Granny.
Thank you, I hadn't seen that point :-\

How do I get the fairy dust? When I light the candle she flies away and I get nothing. And when I try to put something on the counter to catch the dust, the guy tells me to not clutter the counter.

Not everything will do on the counter. You need a particular item, something that can be found in your room
I've already gotten all I could get! The candle, pillowcase and comb.
Edit: Nevermind! I got it :)
Hello,
Spoiler
I can't find any disturbed dirt to the right of the ghost...
I have the 1.3B version.
Thank you.
The spot is pretty small, I must admit, and on a dark monitor it might easily be overlooked. Just aim for the foot of the grave. The spot is *always* there.
If still stuck, here's a pointer.
