Im playing this game ive got the egg but now cant figure out what to do i dont find anything that looks like a giant shoe horn to move the cat can anyone help give me a push along thanks

[Leon]

To get up higher, you need to dig deeper.

Spoiler

You want the ladder behind Trixie. To move her, you need something like a shoe horn because she barely fits in the shed. Using the shovel as a shoe horn on the ladder, it'll come off the wall.

I am stuck again, can anyone give me a bigger hint on how to fix the doorbell or get the paper from the cat im at a standstill again thanks

[Leon]

Spoiler

The doorbell needs to make a sound..... In the carriage in the living room you can find something that makes a sound as well.... With a slight adjustment to one of the parts you can repair the doorbell.
While we're in the living room... under the carriage you can find another item. You'll need it. It looks like a tine... You can use it to fix an incomplete package and with that..... oh well....

I dont know if i have a bug in the game or its that i have to do something before looking in the pram but i cant interact with it or see anything underneath could you help please i like this game but im stuck thanks

[Leon]

You should be able to. Right-click on the carriage should make you able to look at it and discover. Or else make sure you left-click on Look, then left-click on the carriage. I must say that I had a hard time selecting the right commands in some places as well. Especially outside the shed. It might have something to do with the interface/animation. Anyway, it should be possible.

The object underneath has pretty much the same colour as the background. Maybe adjusting contrast of the display helps?

[TwinMoon]

Maybe you have it already.

It's a

Spoiler

mallet (and you should also have the xylophone.
If you don't have it  USE CARRIAGE.

About the other item:

Spoiler

Next to the carriage (very close to the right side of it) lies a pencil.
If you can't see it, move your mouse over to the area and look at the status bar. When your mouse cursor is over it, it will show the word pencil on the statusbar.

I haven't encountered any bug, it should work (but then again, that's what they all say) 

[maggie]

Where do I find nails for stairs?

[Leon]

The nails are ...

Spoiler

...in the shed. When you open the DIY rake set...

[maggie]

Thanks Leon. Problem is I can't get passed doorway in shed. I thought I might need a torch or something from up stairs. So now how do I get in passed doorway in shed. Hope its not something obvious or I will feel like peanut brain.

[TwinMoon]

It wasn't meant to be a hard puzzle, but it's a little bit sneaky.

Spoiler

What do you usually do when you walk into a dark room?

And another hint:

Spoiler

What you're looking for is on the right side of the dooropening.
It's a bit of a pixelhunt, sorry for the devilish pleasure I take in making difficult puzzles.

I could use a hint about

Spoiler

how i should get the paper from trixies horn.

[close]

[TwinMoon]

1:

Spoiler

you can't reach it, so you'll need something long and sharp.

[close]

2:

Spoiler

like a rake

[close]

3:

Spoiler

to finish the rake, use something thin and sharp.

[close]

4:

Spoiler

a pencil could do the trick

[close]

5:

Spoiler

in case you haven't found it, it's lying on the floor next to the pram/carriage

[close]

Tell me how many hints you needed, please!

[my dog]

Hi thanks for the help you were right i already had the pencil but didnt think of using it like that.  I tried to fix the bell but it says it needs something to help it stay in place could i have a hint on that one please

[Rian]

Hi,

I'm stuck at the fish part.

Spoiler

No matter what I do I keep running into the white monster and can't reach the paper.

[close]

Anyone got a tip how to avoid this? Thanks in advance.

@my dog:

Spoiler

you need to make a hole in the mallet to help it stay in place. You should have something in your inventory to do so.

[close]

[Andorxor]

Spoiler

When you got the paper ,don't move upward.Move down and wait until the thing passed you before surfacing

[close]

[maggie]

Hi
   How do I fix the bell,Nothing in the inventory works on the mallet. Am i missing something.
          Thanks

[Leon]

To make the mallet usable...

Spoiler

Pray to the dull knife and it'll sharpen...

how do you get the light to work - have tried everything I can think off - but then I have a rather small brain

[TwinMoon]

It is a small hotspot, but make sure the statusbar says 'Look at light' and right-click on it.
Also you can click on 'use' first and then on the lightswitch. It should say 'use lightswitch' on the statusbar.

(I assume you're talking about the light in the shed)
