The Secrets of Atlantis Hints
How do these bee puzzles work?
1 of 7: In each puzzle, yellow and orange bees are sitting in rows with a single empty row between them.
2 of 7: This is like the old bishop or monk puzzles that you may already be familiar with. You need to get all of the bees to switch sides using the limited movement rules.
3 of 7: First of all, note that you have to have your "smoker on" gadget in hand when you click on a bee, or its row won't budge even if it's a legal move you're trying to do.
4 of 7: Since you're needing to get the yellow bees over to the right side of the hive and the orange bees over to the left side, yellow bee rows can only move to the right, and orange bee rows can only move to the left.
5 of 7: A bee row can only move to an empty row, and only if that row is the next one in the direction those bees can move, or if it's the one after that. (In other words, a bee row can jump over one other bee row as long as the following row is empty.)
6 of 7: Experiment around by clicking on bee rows at random just to see how they work. The puzzle will reset whenever you get stuck to where no more moves are possible.
7 of 7: When you solve a puzzle, all the bees on that level will disappear, and you'll need to click on the hive without the smoker in hand to remove that level and move on to the next.
