Played this one with SophieB. The bridge puzzle was a nightmare, as the areas where each side was located moved such a long way as I was playing. At one stage I was lucky that I didn't have to climb over the side of the bridge to get in the "zone". Once that was over it was relatively plain sailing

Another excellent cartridge with a strong storyline and engaging puzzles. Did v1.2 which took a couple of visits to complete. The latest version with the simpler puzzle should take about an hour. Really looking forward to the next chapter!
