Simon the Sorcerer 3D Hints

How do I cross the guarded bridge?

  • 1 of 12: The guard tells you all the rules.
  • 2 of 12: You cannot loiter. 
  • 3 of 12: Therefore, Simon will need to keep moving.
  • 4 of 12: You cannot run. 
  • 5 of 12: Press and hold the SHIFT key to force Simon to walk.
  • 6 of 12: The bridge is a one-way only bridge.
  • 7 of 12: The guard will not let you walk in the direction you wish to go, but he will let you walk in the opposite direction.
  • 8 of 12: The guard isn't too bright.
  • 9 of 12: He also isn't watching at all times.
  • 10 of 12: When he isn't watching, walk Simon in the direction you would like him to go.
  • 11 of 12: When the guard steps outside, immediately turn Simon around and go the other way.
  • 12 of 12: Wait until the guard turns away, then continue on the direction Simon needs to go.  It may be helpful to predict how soon the guard will return by counting the number of steps Simon takes after the guard returns inside. Depending on how soon Simon turns around when the guard leaves, he should be able to move between 16 and 21 steps before the guard returns again.
