Simon the Sorcerer 3D Hints

How do I get back inside the force field?

  • 1 of 14: Can you think of an alternate entrance into Calypso's private room?
  • 2 of 14: Earlier in the game, Simon crashed through Calypso's skylight to land on the table.
  • 3 of 14: The skylight has not yet been repaired.
  • 4 of 14: Go to the Beer Garden to see the area where the skylight used to be.
  • 5 of 14: All you need to do is figure out how to climb down.
  • 6 of 14: A rope could be useful, if you had one...
  • 7 of 14: ...or you could use a tire swing instead.
  • 8 of 14: There is a boy on the other side of the Beer Garden using a tire swing.
  • 9 of 14: If you talk to the boy, he'll challenge you to swing higher than him.
  • 10 of 14: To beat him at the swinging challenge, you'll need to figure out the timing -- when to pump forwards and when to pump backwards.
  • 11 of 14: The trick is not to press forwards (up arrow) -- or backwards (down arrow) -- for too long each time.  Use the end of each swing (forwards or backwards) to switch the direction of the pumping.
  • 12 of 14: When Simon wins, he'll be able to pick up the tire swing.
  • 13 of 14: Go back to the area where the skylight used to be -- and look for a place to hang the swing.
  • 14 of 14: Tie the swing to the picnic table.
