ONLY with many, many clues did I get the puzzle piece. I will help as I can until the show starts here in about ½ hour. Ask away.

Are you at the page with the truck and two oil storage containers?

Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | Apparently you must pick up the chain before you go to the book. Are you entering coordinates on the globe without physically possessing the book? I believe you may have to actually have both in your possession when you arrive in PA for the connection to be made between truck and containers. As a reminder, to reach the book you have to leap the widest chasm and to accomplish that you have to take a running jump. Use the shift key to run. |

Jon1180 - You may have to back out as far as EXIT TO GAMEBOARD and then restart the challenge from there. Make sure to get the chain before the book. Good luck.

All I have found is the key in the graveyard and the matches to light the candles. I can go to the globe but wouldn't know what coordinates to enter if I hadn't seen them here. They do nothing when I enter them so I know I need something else but have clicked on the whole darn screen on every page and found nothing--I'm going crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nevermind. I restarted. For some reason, when I got the chain the lever never moved. It's all good.

Okay, it took an hour for me to find my way through the maze and get the chain and book. I finally realized you could jump from right under the openings and then climb with another jump move instead of running and jumping up, which didn't work when I was close to a wall. My poor little guy fell down a lot, lol. Finally got the 2nd insurance policy and the 7th puzzle piece.

With the info you all posted I had made it thru to getting the globe and my 2nd insurance policy but when I tried to follow the instructions to go left, down, etc. I lost an opening to drop down so was totally lost. I quit for now and will come back after the BB boards. I had to watch Kyle XY at 8 then Treasure Hunters at 9PM...so much tv stuff with the busy BB boards, lol!

OK, stumped now. I got to the lever and "got" the chain, but I don't see any way to swing on it or to go lower to get a book. It's just a coiled chain and it goes in my backpack. I can take it back out and put it back on the thing or pick it up again but that's all it "does". Am I in the right place to "swing" or pick up a book if I'm at the lever?

I missed getting the 2nd insurance policy AND I clicked on the one I had by accident and then it said I finished the task. Dang..hope I don't need that insurance policy!! I tried going back, but there was no book anywhere in the cave that I could find or it would let me get after having completed the challenge. Oh well.....

I don't know how to do the black background spoiler stuff, so this is the best I can think of... Starshine, the book is in a cave on another level. It is right above the gated door you entered through. Put the chain in your backpack and go up to the level above the globe (you have to go up and down a few times to get around the walls.) Just before you get to the cave there is a wide hole. You have to run (shift) and jump to get over it. The book is in the cave. It tells the last coordinates to put in the globe. Take the book with you and go to the globe, use the coordinates and it will take you to the oil field. The chain is used there to connect the truck to the trailer the barrels are on. Move the truck, enter the building, open the desk...

Cathie - Good idea of making the text white. For future use, (and I only managed to stumble across this when I looked at how the coding changed as I typed and clicked on the italics button in the post box... Type a left leaning slash \ Type the word spoiler Type a { There are no spaces between any of the three characters After the { , type the text you wish to have hidden in the Spoiler box. End the spoiler box by typing a closing brace }. I think that's it ... If so then this next bit will be in a spoiler box ...

Just for informational purposes thought I'd tell a little experience I had. I have a second email address at work so I tried to start the game over using that account. I could play all the levels but it would only let me enter one guess as to the treasure location. After that it said you entered you guess for this period and must wait till Aug 8 to make next guess. Also did any of you text the answer to the treasure chest question? IF you play the game on line you get a standard clue but if you text the answer then the clue was very definitive and answered the treasure location as far as I am concerned. It was what I have always thought it was

Question - I can get to the cave above the entry door but it is gated and I cannot figure out how to get it open. Little help?

ok, I am stuck in the western town, I have my bags of silver and my wagon wheel, but I cannot figure out how to move forward. Can anyone help? I have clicked on everything and all I have is the saloon and the store.

Oh, good grief I didn't get a second policy and I used mine as well. I couldn't get the globe to take me anywhere until I clicked on it. and I somehow ended up with the book, not sure how that happened, LOL. I still have the matches and the book?

Spinnaker ... Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | You have to have the chain before you get the book. As you 'pick up' the chain it should pull a lever and you'll hear the sound effect of something opening. That sound is the gate moving open. The chain/lever is in the maze on the bottom level towards the right |

Keep trying, KC! As someone posted above, you start at the lower left and then click two candles above. I just kept trying till I got them all lit. Can't really tell you how I did it. I'm not good at these puzzles! Now if they had us doing a Sudoku . . .
