Scribblenauts, the game that lets you create over 10,000 objects to solve puzzles, hits American shelves in a week, so I thought I'd make a topic showcasing one of the puzzles in the game, and see how the Escapist community would solve it.


If you can't see the video, the puzzle is to knock over a set of bottles on top of a wood support without cheating or using guns. The video demonstrates a simple solution (throwing a baseball), an awesome solution (spawning a battleship and shooting the bottles off), and a "how the crap did that work?" solution (you'd have to watch the video.)

If this thread gets big enough, I'll edit this post with already suggested solutions so you don't have to scroll through 4 or 5 pages of posts to see if your idea hasn't already been thought of.

What I would try to do is create a Molotov cocktail and throw it. If I was a little too low, I'd catch the wood supports on fire and burn the whole thing down. But what would you do?

Well I think I'd attach a fishing rod to a kangaroo.....oh wait ninja'd.

I'd probably use something boring like a spear. Or the baseball.

Kangaroo, fishing rod, glue (twice) and a lettuce? What the hell? Whoever came up with that has a weird, if cool, imagination.

As for me, I'd try Bowling Ball. Knock the wooden supports over. Or time machine, I'd go back in time and kill the guy who set them up with a knife (no shooting involved). Then they'd never be there in the first place. Nice and simple solution :)

I like your thinking sir. I like it a lot.

Cannon -> Cannon Ball. Solves itself.

-OR-

Gorilla -> Banana -> Set banana behind bottles.
Isn't a cannon technically a gun?

Summon the Kraken and have it take down the bottles.

Or summon a beaver, place it behind the bottles, and then summon the Kraken to chase the beaver and knock over the bottles in the process.

Every problem can be solved using a giant squid.

You can attach steak to babies to attract lions, so probably not.

Spawn Link, he loves to break stuff.
Or a nuke.
Or a mafioso with a baseball bat, they should've paid for protection.

I'd try something with Magnetism. Maybe a giant metallic table on one side and an electromagnet on the other side.

That, or drop a Gazebo on it?

Maybe crash a Dinosaur into it.

I would build a crane, suspend a weight over the bottles, then cut the rope with a sword so the weight crushes the bottles.

God in a tank. I don't think anything can overcome god in a tank but I guess that will be my trumph card for when i'm struggling.
