Depending on how good you are at these puzzling games. [Have fun](http://www.foon.co.uk/farcade/hapland2/). (game has sound, sound is non-essential for the game) **note: please do not post spoilers in this thread without using the spoiler box. Use the spoiler box by enclosing the hint with {spoiler} and {/spoiler}, but exchanging the curly brackets for straight ones**. General hints: A lot of stuff is clickable. You must do things in the correct order. It is possible to get in a position where you can’t win (and the game won’t tell you if you do), if this happens, click the “recycle” arrows in the bottom right corner. Timing is important for many things. It IS possible to “win” (i.e. there is a point), and the goal is: to light both lanterns above both black doors on the right side. These will light when a guy goes in the door. ---

Ah, Hapland 2. For those who don’t have a week to spend figuring it out, there is a walkthrough [here](http://www.milkandcookies.com/comments.php?lid=30456&tid=31421&mode=nested&order=&thold=). Some hints: -Use the crow, Luke, and also the clouds -Timing is critical in several portions of the game Yeah … beyond that, it’s too complicated to come up with good hints. ---

So if you screw things up by blowing up important clouds or people…you have to reload the thing right? ---

You have to click the arrows in the bottom right to reset it. ---

Damn you! I hate these games but I can’t stop playing them. When I go to fill out applications I am putting you down as the reason I got fired. ---

I will NOT play this game. I spent too long on the last one. ---

Well, finally got it…but I used the walkthrough too much. I will try to do the first one with no help…but I suck at these so I’ll probably look for a walkthrough for that, too. ---

Some day, some how, I will get revenge. (After I stop blowing up that little guy by accident) ---

All right, I can’t even do this one _with_ the walkthrough, that’s how pathetic I am. I looked at the walkthrough that **Spatial** (isn’t he spatial?) posted. The first three sentences are: Open the door in the roof. Click on the red dot thing to turn it into the green arrow. Click on the small yellow arrow beneath it to make the stick man walk right and fall through the hole. Check on the first two. But when I click on the small yellow arrow, I just get a sparkly electrical thing up the sign, and nothing else. Click on the man, and he just waves. What am I missing here? ---

You have to click the red dot first. It’ll turn into a green arrow. Then you open the trapdoor. After you’ve done that, click the yellow arrow that points up. The sparkly will light the green arrow (that points to the right) and the little man will wander along and fall down the hole. Damn but this thing is hard after you get past that bit… ---

I did just what **Sierra Indigo** and the walkthough both said. Nothing happened. I’m using Netscape, and I’m really not interested in installing a new browser just to play this. ---

I normally use netscape. Couldn’t see the clouds everyone was talking about. A few other things missing too. Works in IE. You probably have it installed. Go to run on your start button and type iexplore. Cut and paste the link and everything should work fine. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/got-a-spare-hour-or-seven/304723.md?page=2)
