Ring the alarm to wake the brother, then make a mask with box/scissors. Remember the clock's second hand too.
Read the guide →4–5: Bear and frogs
Trap the moth with sap for the glasses and enlist frogs to overcome the bear. Read the snake board from tail to head.
Read the guide →6: 4 ducklings
Pizza phone: 124435; toppings: mushroom, tomato, herb. Exchange energy among 4 ducklings to bring back the flag.
Read the guide →7–8: Whale
Separate inventories apply to the brother inside and sister outside. Distinguish throwing into the mouth from pushing out through the belly hole.
Read the guide →9–10: Dragon assembly
The dragon needs bicycle, fabric, roller skates, and head. Fuse replacement and operating the head mechanism in order.
Read the guide →11–12: Sister and prisoner
The rescue plan gathers chicken, flowers, and vegetable cart. In prison, use gaps small enough for the chicken rather than the brother.
Read the guide →13–15: Time and return
Travel between the book's past −50, present 0, and future +50. Transfer plant, egg, and turtle in the well bucket, using time for growth.

Additional releases and minigame skips
Lost in Play Soundtrack linked to Steam's game is music content, not extra episodes or a new puzzle collection. The official announcement of October 24, 2022 describes the start of free availability, not a permanently fixed current price.
Standard-version update 1.0.63 officially adds skips to the forest Fox and Hounds board and crab four-in-a-row. Skipping progression is not guaranteed equivalent to winning for achievements. Use the win-it-yourself approach when pursuing achievements.
