Last Updated: March 4, 2021

Puzzle 007 on Professor Layton and the Curious Village is called "Wolves and Chicks". This is a similar puzzle to a folklore tale, where a farmer must cross a river and bring his geese and fox along with him.

Steps

1
Read the rules for this puzzle:
- You can't have more than 2 animals riding the raft at the same time.
- The raft can not be empty during movement - there needs to be at least one animal for it to move. This differs from other river crossing games where the raft can be empty.
- You need either the same amount or more chicks than wolves on either side of the river. If there are more wolves than chicks, they will eat the chicks and the puzzle starts over.
- Each raft move counts as "one move". You need to complete this puzzle in 11 or less moves.
2
Place two wolves on the raft. Use your stylus and drag the raft over.
