debbie_jones Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 I'm stuck on the bottle - thought I'd come on here to ask for help! Has anyone played it yet? http://caboodle.nationalbooktokens.com/hiddenbooks/ Quote
Janet Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 I've just started and I'm up to 14... but I've ground to a halt! The bottle... what level is the water at? And what measurement is written on the bottle? Quote
Signor Finzione Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 The measurement is litres, but I'm still trying to figure it out. I love the Lord of the Flies. Quote
Signor Finzione Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 I just got the water one myself . . . what a cheesy play on words. Quote
Hayley Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 This is a pretty addictive game I have 12 but I'm stuck on the man with a dice for a head! Are they all classics? Quote
Janet Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 No, not all of them. I can't for the life of me remember what the dice man was now! ETA: I remembered how I got that... I typed 'Dice Man' into Amazon! Quote
Cookie Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 *happy dance* I won, I won. Stupid bottle one took me ages! Quote
Hayley Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 Thanks Janet, all the ones I had so far were classics so I thought maybe they all were, might be able to actually get the rest now! And I have the man with a dice head now after your clue but I have to admit I've never heard of that book in my life! Quote
frankie Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) I started doing this and I've only got 7/20. I've only managed the imo quite obvious ones. 13 to go?? Edit: 12/20. The water bottle thing was hilarious Edited November 26, 2015 by frankie Quote
frankie Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 I have now 15/20. I think I need clues I'm having problems with the train, the baby, the Istanbul to London ticket, the pink-and-white paper roll or whatever it is and the notepad with the number 1. Could someone help me? But don't make it too easy.... Quote
Janet Posted November 28, 2015 Posted November 28, 2015 I can't see the quiz you're doing - I have a new one with signposts on it when I follow the link in the first post...? Maybe because I completed that one? Quote

I think I need clues I'm having problems with the train, the baby, the Istanbul to London ticket, the pink-and-white paper roll or whatever it is and the notepad with the number 1. Could someone help me? But don't make it too easy.... The Istanbul to London ticket to a train with too diverse people, and a too cunning frenchman belgian.

frankie Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 The Istanbul to London ticket to a train with too diverse people, and a too cunning frenchman belgian. That is so odd... I did think of the title earlier and wrote it down but the site said I got it wrong. I even checked to see if I'd gotten all the 'a's and 'the's right, and I did, and it still wouldn't accept it. I've tried again now, after your clue, and only now did it accept it Thanks anyway! Quote
Kell Posted November 30, 2015 Posted November 30, 2015 I only have 7/20 this year and have totally given up now. Quote
frankie Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I got the baby right last night: I can't believe I only tried The Little Princess and didn't even think of Little Prince Still have the train, the pink-white roll thingy, and the number 1 on the paper to get right.... It's going to take forever. Quote
Janet Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Some clues, if you want them Train - Look closer at the train... what is on it? Pink roll - The pink thing is edible (but you might not have it in Finland). Kiss Me Quick! </cryptic clue?> I can't remember the 1 on the notepad. Quote
Kell Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I think you guys are looking at last year's games - this year's one has signposts. I only have 7 on that one... Quote
Janet Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I've done this year's. But yes, Sari is doing the 2014 version. Quote

Pink roll - The pink thing is edible (but you might not have it in Finland). Kiss Me Quick! </cryptic clue?> I can't remember the 1 on the notepad. All I can think of is Spotty Train and that's not a book And as for the pink roll, ah, it's an English thing. We don't have those in Finland, no. Doesn't remind me of anything. I also had to google Kiss Me Quick and it's an Elvis song...? I think I'm never going to get this one because it's a challenging one for a non-Brit so if you don't mind, you can spill the beans for me with this one Oh and thanks Jänet for the help! Quote
Janet Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 All I can think of is Spotty Train and that's not a book : Swap the words around and play with spotty a bit! It's also a film Kiss me Quick relates to the seaside - you used to be able to buy hats with that phrase on them in tacky seaside towns, and sticks of rock come from the seaside! It was rather tenuous! Graham Green Quote
frankie Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Swap the words around and play with spotty a bit! It's also a film Oh my god I can't believe I didn't get it!!! Have read the book at least three times and watched the movie as many times And just last Friday called this Scottish guy I met Spud because he looked like him Kiss me Quick relates to the seaside - you used to be able to buy hats with that phrase on them in tacky seaside towns, and sticks of rock come from the seaside! It was rather tenuous! Graham Green Well that was a difficult one, I never would have gotten it as I'm not familiar with the thing. Thanks, you saved me from growing grey hairs in vain :D Quote
