Well done Cezzez!!
April 10th, 2007HeHe, it took you a while but you finally managed to crack it!
It just goes to show that it is possible to complete the game - eventually 
Well done!
The Solution …
March 25th, 2007F is for …
March 23rd, 2007F is for …
Fish: Or, more specifically, red herring! Figuratively, a red herring is a false lead in a mystery. In this context, red means smoked, and a smoked herring has such a strong smell that it can be used to create a false scent that causes hunting dogs to lose a track. There are quite a few misdirections in Fairy Bed to put you off the scent - but the smoked herring is not the only ‘red’ fish!
Fairy: Sometimes the term is used to describe any magical creature, including goblins or gnomes, and at other times only to describe a specific type of more ethereal creature. There are Fairies in Fairy Bed but are they more red herrings?
A is for …
Anagram: There are many anagrams in FairyBed. In fact, the whole game is an anagram! If you want to find an anagram for a particular word enter anagram word and see what you get.
Ask: If you get stuck, ask me for help and will try to guide you.
Apples: Can be found in the orchard and they can be eaten! They probably taste very nice but there is a pair of animals that won’t budge unless they are given some. By the way, if you lose your apples either by eating them or throwing them away, you can go back to the orchard and shake a tree!
I is for …
Inventory: It’s always useful to know what you are carrying. Not all of us have good memories and if you carry out the odd inventory you might even get a surprise.
Imagination: We all have one so why not use it. Try to imagine what on earth was going through my head when I first created this adventure - I wonder myself sometimes. If you come across an object, imagine what you can do with it as sometimes objects can be used for more than their intended purpose!
R is for …
Read: Not only should you read the information given to you about a specific location, you should also read ‘between the lines’ to see if there is a hidden meaning there. Also, it might help to be wearing your glasses on occasions!
Restart: If you get stuck, and you will, don’t be afraid to restart the game.
Rainbow: The trees aren’t different colours for the fun of it! Follow the rainbow to it’s end and uncover the buried treasure.
Remember: You should memorise or make a note of things you come across in the game, where they are etc. The best way of doing this is to create your own map. Write down the solutions to the anagrams you come across - it will help later!
Y is for …
Y-fronts: Or knickers. Many people have given up before even leaving the patio! What a shame!
Y deri fab: Welsh for ’son of the oak’ - literally. Is there a real meaning here?
Yes: Yes you can do it, you can complete the adventure. Actually, it only takes about an hour to complete once you know how to …
B is for …
Balls: As we all know, there are many different kinds of balls in our world. Luckily there are very few in the world of FairyBed. However it is necessary to be able to distinguish between different types of ball. Fairybed is only interested in commands consisting of one or two words so entering get cricket balls is reduced to get cricket. This is fine until we encounter a cricket bat and we want that as well. In this example get balls would obtain the cricket balls and get bat would obtain the cricket bat. So, if you get a strange answer for one instruction try another!
Bowls: There are bowls, there is a bowling green … draw your own conclusion.
Bulls: Once upon a time there used to be a patch of green uncultivated land in front of our house called Bull’s Field. The field in FairyBed not only contains a bull but also something else crucial to completing the game. So, what do you need to get a bull out of a field? Not what you might think at first
E is for …
Examine: Examine everything you come across. Sometimes the information gained is crucial to the successful completion of the game.
Escape: There is no escape!
Eat: Food items can be eaten, liquids can be drunk. Perhaps you should remember this for future tasks!
D is for …
Drop: Most objects are GETtable and DROPable. My preferred commands for these functions are GET and DROP. There is no need to DROP THE OBJECT as DROP OBJECT will suffice. Why waste time typing superfluous text when you could be completing the game? Be careful though, some items are breakable!
Doors: They can be opened and closed, but some need to be unlocked first!
Die: You can’t die in this adventure so it really doesn’t matter what you try to do. You can make as many ‘mistakes’ as you like and still be safe. If one thing doesn’t work, try something else - you might be surprised!
Modification of previous blog.
Welcome to Feb Diary!
January 26th, 2007Welcome to Feb Diary!
Why is it called Feb Diary? Is it because it is diary type blog and next month is Feb? No! Feb Diary is an anagram of FairyBed. This text adventure game has a lot of anagrams in it as our more experienced players are aware.
With the aid of this blog I aim to give extra hints about how to solve the mysteries of the game without actually giving away any secrets. With this in mind I will need to approve your comments so that other players still need to solve the puzzles themselves.
Of course, you can ask any questions you like here and I may even answer them … who knows? Time will tell!
So, if you haven’t yet logged in and started playing, what are you waiting for?
