KarmenIf you managed to escape the Archipelago, you may have felt a sense of relief watching the volcanic islands dwindle as you floated away. Well, you may not want to breathe easy just yet, as creator Jonathan May has recently made the sequel, Return to the Archipelago, available to the general public.

Return to ArchipelagoAs it turns out, you didn't drift far. The volcano and rainbow beams of the last puzzle are still visible in the distance, along with a new series of islets and puzzles to explore. With pyramids and triangles abound, the riddles seem to follow a theme of threes.

While this game may challenge the geometrical and logical parts of the mind, the cartoon-like atmosphere and gentle melodies offer a pleasing and casual point-and-click experience.

At least one of the puzzles in this game involves sound, proving difficult for any tone-deaf gamers out there (such as myself.) Never fear, as there is a hint section offered from the main site for those who need it.

In addition to the Archipelago series, Jonathan is also the creator of the Dark Room and the Dark Complex, which recently scored in the top 20 in the Best of 2005. If you enjoy these challenging and imaginative types of games, please consider encouraging Jon's unique talent by making a donation through his site, woolythinking.com. Large games such as these use a large amount of bandwidth, and Jon has done us a huge favor by releasing it for free. (Originally, there was a charge.)

Whether you seek a tropical escape or simply an entertaining series of puzzles, your Return to the Archipelago awaits. Click.

Comments (may contain spoilers)

Thanks for all the hints from all the players posting comments. Just finished. Such a great game!!!!I would have not been able to finish without ya'll(yes, I'm from Texas)

the paper animals have nothing to do with the symbols and trees.....

image
Just look at the trees just outside the paper world. Look closely at what EACH tree has

Hi all,

I'm colorblind and I simply cannot complete some of these puzzles. The forest level is especially hard. Can anyone break down the flower-petal puzzle for me? I'm looking to blatantly cheat here...I've been doing trial and error forever.

Please someone correct this for Nick if I am wrong.

For the flowers/windmill I'm not sure how to explain if you are colorblind, but there are 3 combos of colors blue/yellow, pink/yellow, and blue/pink. When the mountains are on your right, the big windmill is the blue/pink, and when you are on the other side the blue/yellow one appears as large.

Flowers: The one petal is pink, the two across are blue/yellow, and the two next to each other are pink/yellow.

Hint:

image
there are two clumps of flowers each with a different point of view that must be matched.

And I have a suggestion for mapping the stars. Put paper up against your screen and trace, then cross out all but the answer.

Click-by-click flower solution:

image
All the petals on the stump begin as pink, then yellow, then blue. So, if you look at the layout as:
___\/___
\/_/\_\/
/\____/\
you need to click each petal the following number of times:
___22___
00_11_00
22____11
If you've switched them all about, so they aren't in the original position, you might assume the lightest shade is yellow, and start with each petal 2 clicks past the lightest. It's hard for me to know how it looks for you, though. Good luck!

Game and website designers: 1 in 12 gamers are color blind in some way. There are tools available to see how different color choices are seen by different people, so your site or puzzle can be seen by everyone. Try this tool: http://www.iamcal.com/toys/colors/index.php

PS... I started over; and now not only does the head puzzle not work, but the bell towers won't either. I think there is something wrong with my PC... the poor thing is overdue for a reformat. I'll probably try a different computer to get my name on the list.

Ooops... it didn't like the way I laid out the formatting in the last post. They were supposed to be equally divided on three lines, to emulate the flower puzzle. If it doesn't make sense after cutting and pasting around, e-mail me, and I'll try to send a more accurate picture.

Ack, sorry, that's karmen(at)chaoticutopia.com

(third comment in a row is a charm, right?)

Hi all,

Nick - I apologize for the difficulty that some of these puzzles present for those with colour-blindness. This issue was raised after I published the first 2 games, and I had tried to keep it in mind with the Dark Room games, but since the whole premise is based on "mixing light", I couldn't see any other to represent the same puzzles without massively changing the nature of the games. I know this is not of much help to you, but I'm not inconsiderate of the issue and will try to avoid that in the next game (same goes for the Music /Sound puzzles)

Karmen - You've got me worried that there is a bug with the Stone Head puzzle, but I've tested it over & over and can not get that puzzle to fail! I should also point out that this game pushed my old PC (the one I developed it on 2 years ago) to its limits (this is why the frame-rate is so low... had I done it today it would be a lot smoother) So perhaps this is a performance issue. Drop me an email with a comment and I'll add you to the list manually if you like.

Ruka - Your advice about the fruit & symbols having nothing to do with the animals is wrong!

image

1. Each fruit is associated with a symbol (found etched in the dead fruit trees on the islands)
2. Each fruit is associated with an animal (its the same colour, plus you can look through the little doors in the fruit trees to spot the animal with which it's associated)
3. From 1 & 2, each animal is now associated with a symbol.
4. These are 2 pairs of animals and 1 odd-one-out. The pairs are comprised of the same set of SHAPES.

Jon :-)

Need some help with paperworld.

I think I hear 3 clicks in Paper World (I push lever and hear two clicks, then a pause and then the third click, then a smaller noise when the lever pulls back). But is there supposed to be a reveal when you solve the puzzles? I assume I'm looking for a square (or paper box), but can't find one I can take with me.

Can you change the puzzles once you've solved them? I can still change the tree stumps except for jigsaw piece. Should there be more than 3 clicks? Stone world had an obvious ending and I have taken the thing I needed.

Also I have never found the binoculars. And I have the stone eyes not sure if they are needed.

Currently at a loss in Metal World.

The only problem with the windmill hints is that the colors may differ for every player (time you play). For me there were violet, blue and green on the first round. Then on the second time they were violet, blue and yellow. Or then I am color blind.

What comes to clicking sounds in the paper world, there were no clicks for me when I solved the stumps. Put you surely notice if they are correct when you pull the main switch. So you just have to try and pull the switch every now and then.

Please be more specific with the stars. I have read everything and I still cannot figure it out. Thank you.

Okay, here comes the ultimate spoiler for star puzzle

image
Click the buttons on the grave stones,
image
look up and see the stars that twinkle,
image
draw a map for the whole starfield and for each constellation,
image
do some deduction and see what is left,
image
and here comes the answer:
image
a cross.

Thanks Lassie. 3 days and finally finished it. Ooh Rah!!!!

Congratulations Jman :D

Well, i figured out the fruit/tree/sybol puzzle by asking this:

image
How many trees are there? How many symbols are there? How many fruits are there? There are 5 trees and 5 symbols, so there SHOULD by 5 fruits. BUT one of the symbols/trees has TWO fruits. This symbol is the odd one out. The rest are just in order around the middle

I'm sorry if i confused anybody by saying the animals has nothing to do with this puzzle, but to me, they don't. When i saw everyone puzzling over how the animals fit into the puzzle, i was thinking: "What are you talking about? You don't need those!" *shrugs*

I'm not sure if I finished Metal World.

image
I found and used the wrench, scissors, wheel. Activated the machine, and got the ball. I am confused now as to what to do with the ball.

The ball fits in one of three slots in the center of your troubles

Can someone help on the crystals? I tried hitting them in the order of tone and then in the order of the oblisk in Stone world. Any more hints?

Nevermind the crystals, I got what they were for. Now I am stuck on Paper world. I have entered the windmill (which from the way I see it, it's right), the symbol puzzle (which I also think is right) and the puzzle piece, but nothing happens when I click the big switch. Any hints?

Diana, have noticed Jonathan's hint pages at woolythinking.com ?

ok...just getting started and have headed to the hints and comments already! My question: Is there an actual shovel to dig with or am I supposed to use something shovel-like? Perhaps a skeletal arm or a broken crystal?
Oh...the humility...help?

I am so lost in Paper world! How many puzzles are there I think I've solved three of them.

Everyone seem to have some small problems. I suggest that do not concentrate only on one problem. Just swim and walk around first, get the access to all doors, and study what is out there. You will find a lot of useful stuff just by wandering.

The problem with the uncertainty in Paper World:
The Lever makes a Kachunk sound when you push it forward - that is NOT a click. Listen for the clicks after that sound. It also makes a smaller sound when the lever comes back. I had to go back and undo each puzzle just to figure out which one I had got right and which one was still wrong. You have to solve the three tree stumps.

About the need for a shovel: Yes you need one.

About the crystals:

image
They are a clue for stone world

Hi!
Can anybody help me with the bell towers. I've been listening to the sound example and yet i cant get it working. I'm I supose to click on the buttons ones or twice? I meen should I just leave the bells to ring or shuld I turn it off before I click on the next one?
...and after clicking on the four towers do I have to click on the trianglebutton to finnish the puzzle? Please help me. I've tried everything.

Ok, after I find the puzzle piece and place it in the stump, is that puzzle complete or is there something else I need to do?

Oh and the Flower/Windmills...I don't get at all!

You've changed some things, haven't you, Jon? The fruits are now all singles, there are notes on the arches and it is clearer how to save the game.

Yet, I still can't figure out the Stonehenge puzzle. My own solution was

image
5267431
but it could be
image
3267451
because I have a hard time seeing the difference between pink and purple on the gravestone. I've tried Karmen's
image
5346712
both ways around but I don't see how that is the answer to the puzzle. Needless to say nothing works.

Also, the symbols puzzle. How am I supposed to know which combination is the top, and which the bottom one? And which is the left, and wich the right symbol? Is it correct that you can disregard the trees in paper world? The origami already had the right color, doesn't it?

Oh, and I've had the windmill puzzle figured out a long time ago, but when I change it, i still hear two clicks. So now I don't know if I've done it correctly. I have

image

first mill:
blue yellow
blue yellow
second mill:
pink pink
yellow yellow
third mill:
blue pink
blue pink

Hmm, the windmill puzzle puzzles me still. I don't know if i've done it right.

The flowers are in one order, the windmills in another (when i look at them from the stump). What order to pick? (I've tried them both but no change in clicks...

Aha... it seems i've had the symbols puzzle right from the beginning.

image
it doesn't matter which is top, bottom, right or left, as long as the match is correct

So it's the windmill puzzle that's wrong... weird!

yay! tis done! (the paper world, that is)

It seems there are several solutions with the flowers and the windmills. I just had the wrong one...

No clue what to do with these flowers...I basically tried EVERYTHING :(

got the flowers, guess i didnt try everything... but I cant get the stone to sing right

okay, have made the flowers/windmill connection, but nothing i've tried seems to be working. i've solved everything else. help?

palm trees
1014

anyone have any clues?

image
I have tried using the trees to make the Roman numerals M X IV, but that did not seem to work. I forget which lever, but I tilted all trees save one, which represents the "I" when you stand next to the 1014 Triangle switch

Thanks,

Dan

Jon,

Colorblind kid here. Please don't compromise the outstanding quality of your games for the few of us who are imparired in some minor way. Sounds and colors enhance a game to such a degree that to ignore them is a disservice to most gamers. We can manage with the help of others, no problem.

Keep up the great work.

Nick

Dan:
Your solution to the trees should work.

image
MXIV is the answer, and it looks quite clear when you get it right.

Nick:
I've been reading quite a bit about colorblindness lately. Personally, I think factoring in colorblindness doesn't mean removing the colors, just understanding that perception can vary. When we make a game or a website, we check to see that it works in different browsers (IE, FF, etc.) Why not also in different eyes?

Besides, from what I understand, there are some distinctions in color that you can see, being "colorblind" that I cannot. A sensitivity to yellows could help you find brown seeds of one shade amongst a slightly different shade of grass. On the other hand, in the same field, if the seeds aren't bright red or green, I might starve to death.

I'm just interested in this stuff (click my name, and see, I thrive on it) ...I don't think the issue is something every game designer needs to go and fix in their previous works. Instead, I think it is a direction we might move in the future.

(I still love this game!)

ok there has to be something wrong with me or the game. i have the palm trees reading mxiv and the 1014 button doesnt work. can anyone help?

Dan, Clay, and others having problems with 1014 puzzle. Here's the ultimate spoiler:

And if this does not work, then you may have hardware, software or bandwidth problems.

In the stone world, I can't figure out how to

image
Get the flame looking through the eye of the dog head looking left to turn green?
I just can't figure that one out.

Micke, notice where you got the fire in the first place.

image
Have you seen that symbol somewhere else...

what is the combination to the squared in metal world, to get the towers down for the wrench...I am sooo lost...I got everything else, and just need to get the circle thingy for "the islands :P

Man, I am having so much trouble with the stupid flower stump. It is the last thing I can complete at this point. I think I know what I am supposed to look at, but it seems like if I put them together it still does not work. Am I dense? I guess I am going to go to bed and try again tomorrow!

@ Amor Lassie:
Thank you. That was the only puzzle I didn't solve by my self. I thought it was the other way around, i.e.

image
that the stone with the fire defined the kite

I've finished the game now :)

Hello all
Has anyone solved the dog heads, Obelisk with the dog heads, eye's of dogs. I just can't find an answere. Thanks

Gahhh! I thought I had done everything right in the stone world. I know that the stonehead was done correctly. I used the suggestions here for the stars, but nothing has happened with it. And

image
I thought I had the dog heads right, with the colored fire, but nothing has happened with that, either, even after looking through the eyes of the dogs.

What am I doing wrong?

Nevermind. I figured it out and finished the game. :)

Great game, Jon. You're brilliant.

...Now I must finish Dark Room Complex.

hi everyone .i need help in....

stone world:
singing stone heads

paper world:
windmills,symbols on a stump and the last one which i do not know what is it

if you know pls tell me.

finally im down to the last puzzle!!!! the scary sing stone heads ....if anyone know.. pls tell

Strange, the link won't work for me.

I guess that woolythinking has reached it's monthly limit. So no more woolythinking during January I'm afraid :(

WHAT!?!?! Return to the Archipelago is one of my favorite games! I can't believe this. Someone (Not me) must do something or... I WANT ARCHIPELAGO!!!

Be calm, Ricky. =)
I am sure Jon's site will be back online very soon.

Rick, as far as I understand how these sytems work, the harsh reality is that Jonathan's site has been just too popular during January. The worst case scenario might be that the woolythinking is closed till February. The money could help you know. Owning a very popular site is not free ;)

When woolythinking is back online, the first thing that I am going to do is that I send some money to Jonathan. I finally managed to make the PayPal system work :)

Ricky, sorry for the missing y. Damm with this dyslexia of mine :(

Jay, nice 'Support JIG' game ;)

Thanks for telling me Jay and Amor Lassie! I don't know about the bandwidth. Is bandwidth like quality? I'm calmer now, but I want Archipelago!!!!

I do feel sorry for woolythinking, but I wish that I knew about the site. Even though I want Archipelago back, I don't get it. I did get to paper and stone world, but I don't get the puzzles. Please help!

Sorry for all of the comments jay. I'm too young for Typekey. Yet, I love your site. I hope you find more escape the room games! :)

Ricky, I'm not an specialist on these technical things, but this 'bandwidth' is a bit misleading. It is more like the number of databits downloaded per month that the service provider allows for the site owner. So woolythinking has exceeded the number of requests (databits) per month for January.

What comes to puzzles, read all the comments above to find answers. And when woolythinking.com is back online, go there and notice the Jonathan's hints for the games.

hi!
I know that you are all trying to solve the return puzzle, but I still have a problem with de first one... :-s When I click on the link to see the walkthrough, I can't open it. So is there anyone who can help me by mailing me the walkthough? Thanks! And good luck everyone on solving mysteries!!

Thanks, Amor Lassie! I will listen to what you said!!

Tine, read the previous few postings. You may have to wait till February to get anything out from woolythinking.com. That includes Chris's Archipelago walkthrough: http://www.woolythinking.com/ArchipelagoWalkthrough/WalkthroughByChris.html

However, I Googled 'Archipelago walkthrough' and found that there's an other one by Fairygdmther:
http://mysterymanor.net/walkthroughs/Archipelago/archipelago.htm

Hi Kids,

Sorry about the site going down - I go away for a week and when I come back, all my bandwidth is gone! I've increased my limit with my ISP (AGAIN), but it won't kick-in until February.

Sorry again for the inconvenience!

Jon.

Don't worry, Jon. That happens to me all the time in other ways.

Thank you for your help and lots of luck!! Tine

where is the walkthrough?
please help.

February at last and woolythinking.com is back on the Web :D

Feyzul, ad far as I know, there's no walkthrough for 'Return to Archipelago' yet. My previous posting concerns Jonathan's previous Archipelago game.

I also recommend not to spoil the challenge with walkthroughs when you can use Jonathan's excellent 'Get a hint...' pages at woolythinking.com.

I've solved the ankh and the stars (I get a ding when I put in the pattern) and now I'm trying the stonehenge. I put in the pattern that was agreed upon earlier, but nothing happens. I've had this game open for 2 days now and I really need to finish the essays I have due tomorrow -_-

I think my last puzzle ti resolve it's the stonhenge, i've read your suggestion but i'm still not able to do it, can anyone help me?

YAY!!!! Now to start all over! Yes! :D

I'm about to scream! I've solved /everything/ I could find, but now I'm stuck. I've done everything in the paper world, and I get three clicks. But it doesn't /work/. And all the hints say is 'are you /sure/ you've done everything?'

I can't think of anything else to do!

I badly need help on the Flower/Windmill tree stump I've seen all the levers and the

image
2 clumps of flowers on each side of the windmills

but still know idea on what order I need everything to be in.

I also need help in metal world How on earth do you get the wheel

Ok, look, I don't know if it's already up there, but I'm not going to search all night for it. All I'm asking for, is actually, a lot. I need a complete walkthrough from start to finish. To make it worse, I need every single detail and easy to understand. And...I'm going to need it ASAP. But, think of it this way, you'll be helping a down gamer! Thank you! Jay, your site is great, but would be better with COMPLETE walkthroughs. Thanks! Oh, and, uh, if you don't want to type it all up and there's a site that has it out there, just five me the link, please! Thanks!

Sonic, I hope you will find some help but I think there's still no walkthrough for Return to Archipelago. I recommend that you keep eye on Mystery Manor's site: http://mysterymanor.net/walkthroughs.htm

Heres Big help well i guess you could say im a spoiler but to those who need help here it is

well when standing facing the stone head facing as in go from the door straight to him the arches in order from left to right are going to be 1-7 now in this order 2,3,6,5,1,7,4
stand in those arch ways and make him sing

and well thats pretty much it

I've just completed a crude but complete walkthrough for "Return to the Archipelago"

Hopefully, this will help people who are really stuck. I HOPE.

Hi Fijixandra,

Nice walkthrough! Do you mind if I put it on the Wooly Thinking site?

Jon.

That's fine with me Jon. The walkthrough is all yours if you'd like it :)

I finally beat it...thank you everyone for all of your help.....Jon, u rock as do your games. One Question, who are you people that can figgure this stuff out...are you like Ivy League geniuses or something...this stuff is like, simple for you. Just like the dark complex (which i still didn't beat, i still can't solve the final puzzle), people are drawing diagrams and everything. Anyway thanks for the help.

-J

Okay I think I'm close to being done, all I have left to do is the pink/green fire in Stone World. I have the green fire lit, I went back to paper world and changed the kite, and now the fire is pink. Only problem is I seem to have lost the torch. I read earlier that someone lost the crystal and they were able to finish without it- is the torch like this? Is there another way to light the other fire?

Well, from the looks of things, I've finished the snow world, only have a little way to go on the pyramid world, and have opened up the origami world.

Time for some quality sleep.

And done. Took me a while to figure out the link between the animals. Then I realised that

image
One of the animals is only made up of
image
Triangles

pls help me to get the wrench in the snow world!I know it is on the top of the house,but how can I get it?help!

jon,
i beat the game! i

image
went through the giant whirlpool
at the end. after sitting around for awhile of course because i was afraid to go there. but i did, and it brought me to the menu where you enter your name and a comment to be posted on the clever castaway page. but when i filled it out and clicked it, it said it couldn't find the woolythinking.com server. so, i reloaded the page a few times and finally it went through but my name wasn't on the list! i know it's gratifying to beat the game, but to have your name on the list is far better, in my opinion. is there anyway i can get it on without having to do the whole game over again?

Gracie,

Send an email with the subject "Archipelago" to:

jon AT woolythinking.com

with your message and I'll add it for you.

Jon.

All right.. I'm making a walkthrough for each world and how to get into it. I'm doing this by memory, kay?

Stone World

image
To get in the door go to the strange box with the arangment of lights. Now, look out. See th buoys? You can turn them on with the box with triangles on the big island. Mess around with it. Then go back to the strange box.Your goal is to make the light pattern on the box equal to the actual buoys. Once you've done that, the pillar with the door in the distance should lower. Alright, as soon as you come in, you'll realize stone world is pretty much a descelent land with a weird statue up front.
The Eye, Dog Heads, and the Ankh
Alright, if you turn near the left, you'll see a flaming eye, as well as a torch that can be used on the flaming eye and some strange dog heads. The eye can change to a green, pick, or red color. RED IS NOT IMPORTANT! You can change the color by switching the kite in Paper World towards one of th LIT lanterns. Now, those that there are two pillars with a dog head each. You'll notice the eye is covered, FIX THAT! Poke out the eye and drop the thing. Now look through, You'll see that it sees the torch. Now notice the large pillar with 2 dogs and an ankh imprint. Notice the 2 dogs have a pink and green eye. If you haven't figured it out yet, you are a retard... and just in case you are retarded let me spell it out for you. GO TO PAPER WORLD AND MAKE THE KITE GO TO EITHER THE GREEN OR PINK LANTERN, THERE BY CHANGING THE COLOR. LIGHT THE TORCH WITH THE PINK/GREEN AND PUT IT ON THE CORRECT TORCH! NOW LOOK THROUGH THE DOG HEAD AND YOU'LL SEE THE DOG HAS A NEW COlOR. When it's all said and done, the ankh will appear and you put it into the ankh imprint. Puzzle: DONE
The Statue, The Crytals, The Stone Henge
Alright, this is probally the most confusing one in Stone World. Alright, outside of stone world iin the actual Archipelago itself you will notice very odd crystals. Click on the white one to take it. Then use it on all the others to hear sound. Arrange the crystal sounds from lowest sound to greatest sound. Write it down (using the colors). Now go into Stone World. See the big head? Go to it! You'll probally freak out because it disappears, but it doesn't. Look behind you. It moved! Now try to make it in the middle of the circle. Once you've done that, go to an arch and he will sing (if it is a he, hopefully) Now notice the pillar with colors going down. It's colors match the crystals colors. The order from top to bottom is the order you should play the tones. You have to go to the arches in the right order and the statue will shrink and then you place it into the pillar to finish another puzzle.

That's only 2 puzzles so far. I'm working on the rest.

I think there must be something wrong. Garret said that there are carved symbols on the dead trees outside the paper realm, and that's the key to solving the symbolic stump?

That's great, but I don't see any carved symbols. And I've looked, really really hard. Can someone please provide me with an awnser to this? I've also tried Kevin Han's awnser to put in the stump, but it didn't work.

I have

image
put the lights in the right pattern

but
image
nothing happened. Isn't a pillar supposed to lower so I can get to the door? I know the lights have to be in the correct order from the island where they give you the order, and I did that, but nothing happened. Is there something else I have to do first?

Oh, if you email me, please post here and tell me that you are- I don't check that email address often.

Sorry to all of you who have been trying to access the walkthrough I put up months ago!! I had not checked it in quite some time and didn't realize that it had been taken down! Anyhow...here it is again ;)

AND FOR SOME UNEARTHLY REASON, I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING IN THE GAME!!!! I'LL RIP MY HAIR OUT IF THIS GOES ON MUCH LONGER!!!!! So please help me before I go criminally insane.

please... I cannot find the last puzzle piece...the bottom left one. I have the rest, I just need that one darn piece. someone help me!

I need help with the puzzle pieces in the paper world. I can only find two pieces!

JacobX, I had the same problem. Following the advice on this link helped: http://forums.techguy.org/multimedia/490867-fixed-adobe-flash-no-sound.html

for the first part you must get all 3 machine parts to the antennas. the first is on top of the middle tower. to get it down, you must press the top button on the respective tower, the top 2 on the other towers control the other parts i think. just figure it out on your own.
the next part you have to find the safe and put in

for the last part,(coolest part in game) you must go to rock world and take a stone from the broken grave. find the wheel and turn it, then find the pipes and shove the rocks in, when you block both, the thing will explode(wooooooooo!) and the wheel will land near the snow mounds. get it, pull the lever, and get the sphere after it melts. put it in the sphere power uppy shrine. wallace definetly gets bigger.
go to stone world, put a cross in the a tower, light the torches, from the eye,pink, green.
make the statue sing, 2365174.one is the highest note and seven is the lowest one. try it twice, if it doesnt work the second time, switch the six and five. press the button and take the top of the pyramid and put it in the triangle shrine, wallace eats the islands and then you must let him eat you
