Secrets of the Ark: A Broken Sword Game Hints

The dog won't let me take the can of beef!

  • 1 of 7: Since the can is a fundamental part of your plan to distract the dog, you'll have to come up with another distraction so you can get the can.
  • 2 of 7: This distraction can be just a quick little one, since you're not trying to use it to escape, but just to snatch the can.
  • 3 of 7: There's nothing around that you can use, so check your inventory.
  • 4 of 7: You still have the squeaky toy and the wind-up mouse, so try one of those.
  • 5 of 7: Mice are more distracting to cats than dogs (or so the old cliché goes), so try the squeaky toy.
  • 6 of 7: Click the squeaky toy on the dog's head to get George to toss the toy on the ground and make it bounce around.
  • 7 of 7: Now go grab the can of beef while the dog is distracted by the toy.
