Here are a few tips for beginners looking to complete Lost in Play.
10 Complete The Red Sun Dial To Get The Kettle
One of the earliest item people can collect in the game is a kettle. To get the kettle, Gal must walk right of the door on the ladder. Gal will come across a yellow bird, a royal frog, and a gnome having a picnic. Place an empty cup on the plate and the gnome will give Gal a key to the door.
Once Gal has her hands on the key, she can walk back to the door on the ladder to use it. The key will not be enough to open the door. Players need to spin the panel to form a picture of a red Sun to unlock the door. The door will open and provide Gal with a kettle after completing the image of the red Sun.
9 Fix The Clock To Wake Up Toto
After getting the kettle, Gal will reach her bedroom, where players can see her brother, Toto, sleeping like a log. Gal must find a screwdriver, a clock winder, and a battery cell to fix the clock on the shelf. The clock can be used to wake her brother up.
The screwdriver is on the top row of the shelf in her bedroom. She can interact with the toy robot in the room to get a battery cell. Open the cabinet at the bottom of the shelf to find the clock winder. Once players have all the 3 items, they can click on the clock to fix it. Use the screwdriver to open the back of the clock, insert the battery cell, and reposition the cogs to fix the clock. Place the fixed clock next to Toto to wake him up.
8 Move The Livestock Into Position Using The Sheepdog
Lost in Play has a bunch of mini-games to excite newcomers to the genre of point-and-click games. Walk down the stairs from the bedroom and move past the door with the dartboard on it. Pick up the yellow bell placed on the wooden dressing table next to the couch.
Get the yellow bell and walk back to the room with the stairs. Use the yellow bell to interact with the Sheepdog lying on the stairs. This will allow players to enter a mini-game. To finish the mini-game, use the Sheepdog to hound the livestock onto the spots with X on them. Players can use the ball to play fetch with the Sheepdog after finishing the mini-game.
7 Corner The Dark Pawn
Gal will turn into a wild beast and chase Toto into the forest. Players must find a way to distract the wild beast and safely interact with the creature sitting inside the tree that is being attacked by the wild beast. Use the branch from the tree to grab the red cap that is hanging on the tree. Give the red cap to the frog, and he will help you distract the wild beast.
Once the wild beast turns away from the tree, Toto can crawl into the log on the ground and interact with the creature sitting inside the tree. It will commence a mini-game that requires Toto to corner a dark pawn using 4 white pawns. Move the white pawns without letting the dark pawn get to the other side of the checkerboard. Toto can easily corner the dark pawn with 3 white pawns when done right.
6 Befriend The Frogs In The Forest
The frogs are quite helpful in the game. Toto can use his charm to befriend the frogs in the forest. Toto can hand over the red cap to the frog in the forest to earn their trust. The frogs will distract the wild beast, help Toto grab a can opener that is out of reach, and eat flies that are surrounding Toto.
Toto can click on the sword that is thrust into the stone. The frogs will assemble behind Toto to give him the strength to pull the sword out of the stone. The frogs in the forest are among the friendliest critters players can befriend in the point-and-click game.
5 Trick Gal Into Falling On The Circle
Gal can be a menace to deal with in the forest. She turns into a humungous wild beast that is after Toto in the woods. Players can free the frog tied to the tree to collect a rope. Activate the stones at the entrance of the cave to collect the stone with a snake embossed on it. Insert the stone with the snake emblem into the rock that the frog is standing on.
Turn the stone from left to right till the stone gets activated. Once the stone starts to glow, it should activate the circle on the ground. Toto can place the rope near the glowing circle and wait for the wild beast to step into it. Toto can push the wild beast onto the glowing circle to drive away the wild beast and reveal Gal.
4 Collect The Rubber Ducks
There are 4 rubber ducks that can be collected on the streets. Solve the puzzle with the five stone frogs to collect the first rubber duck. Use the pay phone in the streets to order a pizza and place the pizza on the ground to collect the second rubber duck. Talk to the old woman sitting on the bench to collect the third rubber duck.
The fourth rubber duck can be found inside the bin that is placed near the pay phone. Assemble these four rubber frogs and offer them to the goblin sitting on the stork in the river to complete the stage.
3 Rescue Toto From Being Eaten By The Fish
Toto and Gal set out on an expedition on the seas. Toto finds a treasure chest on a small island and tries to open it when a monstrous fish swallows him. Toto is left by herself in an attempt to rescue Toto out of the fish’s belly. Collect the breathing apparatus from the fish and dive underwater to help Toto.
Play the crab game with the bird and win to get his help. The bird will fly to the fish that ate Toto and release the treasure chest after winning the crab game. Dive underwater and wake up the Angler Fish to play the Jelly Fish mini-game. Complete the Jelly Fish puzzles to collect a glow stick. Gal can use the glow stick to help rescue Toto from the Fish’s belly.
2 Redirect The Light In The Caves
Enter the underground cave using Toto and walk toward the tunnel to find a dragon mask kept on a pedestal. Players can use the combination of X, down arrow, right arrow, and left arrow to unlock the dragon mask in the cave. The dragon mask will allow Toto to see a spectacular world of puzzles that require players to redirect light into the right panel.
There are 4 distinct puzzles that need to be solved using the dragon mask. Place the mask over Toto’s face and move the animals with the stones on their back till the light touches the stone in the last panel. Collect the crown after solving the light puzzles and exit the cave.
1 Build A Flying Machine Together
Gal and Toto can combine their efforts to build a beautiful flying machine. Pass the roller skates, dragon mask, and scroll to the woman toiling away at the workbench. The man on the other end of the workbench will provide the instructions for building a flying machine.
Carefully read the instructions and use the tools provided to build the flying machine. Once the wiring is in place inside the flying machine, place the dragon mask in the front to turn it on. Toto and Gal can use the flying machine to travel to exotic locations and meet new monsters in the game.
