I can't make this work!

  • This is a frustrating piece of business, to be sure, but it is possible. Here's some helps on getting it to work:

    -- To swing, move the cursor to the side of the cage you're aiming for until you see an arrow and click and HOLD when Ann starts moving in that direction. That is, to move right, put the cursor on the right and click when the cage is at the end of the left-ward swing and starting to move right; hold the mouse button until she reaches the top of the right swing, then let go.

    -- To increase the height of the swing, repeat the click on the same side over and over, rather than switching from side to side as you'd do in real life.

    -- When the swing is as high as you can get it, click on the swing arrow, then quickly move up to the object you're reaching for (until you see the Use icon) and click on it. If nothing happens, go back to clicking on the swing arrow and try again.

    -- The branch you're going for on the right is the medium-sized brightly-lit one pointing up and left. At least, that's where the hotspot is; when you finally get Ann to grab it, she seems to take a branch from a completely different location.

    -- When you have the branch and are trying to hit the beehive, swing the cage until it almost completely obscures the beehive.

    -- If you can't get it the first time, take a deep breath, have a snack, and try again later. It does work, I promise you.
