Skip Around the World - India
After arriving in India, all Skip wanted was some local cuisine. Instead, he's stuck trying to fix a mess he made by traveling the country and trying to find ingredients to make fresh samosas in this short but fun and educational point-and-click adventure from Carmel Games.

Quite frankly a mediocre and ignorant game, perpetuating stereotypes of snake charmers (illegal in India) and wandering cows.
Hi there! Sorry you didn't like the game. Are you sure about snake charmers being illegal? I did some reading, and it looks like while it was made illegal to own snakes in 1972, the government has recently begun to try to work with snake charmers and animal rights groups to train snake charmers to be caretakers and educators. Additionally, at least as far as I can find, it seems like a limited number are permitted to perform at tourist sites, which would actually fit with the location the snake charmer is seen in this game. :) I do think the developer has made an effort to try to showcase the culture of the country, though some stereotypes have clearly crept in, and hopefully that's something the developer will consider going forward with this series and do better.
Note that the previous installment was just as chock-full of stereotypes... about Finland. The difference is, it's not considered politically incorrect to propagate stereotypes about Finland.
I got the
everything but the potato,
and gave to the girl at the restaurant. I also have the
Lassi
but don't know where to do from there. The walkthrough won't load for me either.
Hi there! Have you
Gone to the movie studio yet? Someone there might find lassi refreshing.
I've gone to the studio but the only ones who are there are the
guard and his elephant
and neither will take the item in question.
Sounds like you need to get inside.
The guard wants clothes for his elephant. Can you find something that might sufficiently cover one?
To get inside, plainly put,
take the carpet from the restaurant and give it to the security guard. He'll let you in!
Thank you! I didn't even notice you could take
