Is this your board?

The words “Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes” are written across the ground. Two large stones sit on opposite ends of a narrow water gap.

If your layout differs, compare the other boards before following this route.

Stop after any hint. The complete route and later-state picture remain hidden below.

Hint 1What to notice

This is the outdoor world, not Level 1’s boat board. The two large stones are the immediate obstacle.

Hint 2What to set up

You need the right stone to meet the left one. You do not need to move both separately.

Hint 3The decisive move

Push the right-hand stone left across the water. Use the new crossing to reach the lower land.

Open the full routeSolution spoilers and the target state

  1. Make the first crossing

    Stand to the right of the right-hand stone and push it left. It meets the other stone and opens the small gap to the lower section.

  2. Collect the map

    Walk to the map in the lower-left portion of the named island. The annotated overview marks it with 2.

  3. Enter Level 1

    Use the central star-marked entrance, marked 3 in the overview. Inside, the first board is the one with a red-sailed boat; use our Level 1 directory from there.

Check your result

You can reach the lower map and central entrance. If you are already on the boat board, switch to Level 1 rather than applying this outdoor move.

If your attempt went wrong

If the pictured ground lettering is absent, you are in a different scene. Return to the South-world directory and compare the indoor versus outdoor labels.

Use directions relative to the board image. Where timing matters, use your game's current slow-time binding. Launch-layout route; the October 9 update changes some South-world checkpoints.
