click on the blue circle, bottom right, to start the game.

the object is to get everyone across the river...but:

the dad cannot be left with any of the daughters, without the mother there
the mother cannot be left alone with any of the sons without the dad there
the criminal cannot be left alone with anybody without the jail gaurd.
only the ADULTS can operate the raft.

click on a pole on the bank to make the raft cross.

see how many tries it takes you.

I got it after about 15 tries

 

I'm seeing it in Chinese, I think. Is that how everyone else sees it?

 

yep

 

So, are we supposed to figure out what the symbols mean to work the puzzle? Sorry, I don't have time. I'll go work a few Sudoku puzzle instead.

 

SmokeWagon interpreted the instructions in the post w/ the link.

 

the link takes you to the game's START page...click on the blue circle bottom right corner on the START page, and that will take you to the game...

my instructions explain how to play.

you know...15 tries is good...now try it again, and see if you can get it right the first try...

 

I've only tried once so far but the criminal is disturbing to look at once she is across the river. She is distracting me.

 

A bit clearer head this morning........only 2 tries.

 

I got it, but it took a little bit.
