The Japanese river IQ Test

IQ test. Get everyone to cross the river without hitting each other.
IQ test. Get everyone to cross the river without hitting each other.

This is a Japanese IQ test with heavy undertones of the ever present violence found in modern society. Or maybe it's just a reflection on the game authors harsh upbringing? The game is quite fun and may present a real challenge to many. I'd hate to get it as a puzzle at a job interview, *chuckle*. This game is extremely violent, which make is fun at the beginning, but at the end you'll be begging for good karma and peace on earch! It may tear your emotional intelligence. A wrong move and an innocent member of the public, quite possibly a child, is in for a beating! The objective of the puzzle is clear. Get everybody across the river using the raft..

While the game is pretty much self-explanatory, here are the rules
  • The raft can only carry 2 people at a time. No, a child is not half a person!
  • Only mum, dad and Mr. Police are capable of steering the raft.
  • Having been raised by a sadistic grand-father, the mother has a complex to boys. Should she be left alone with any boy without the father present to protect them, she'll karate-kick them (to death). It's a no no.
  • The father, ex-ninja, is angry at his girls for ruining him when he eventually has to pay for their weddings. When left alone with any of his daughters, they're in for a beating! Avoid that as the policeman passively will allow this to happen.
  • Criminals have always been looked down upon in Japan. If you leave the black-white striped jail bird thief alone (unsupervised by the police) with any family member, the criminal instantly robs and beats his innocent victims.
To play, start the game (also a challenge in fact, press the link, then the big blue circle-button). Then click on the characters you want to move onto the raft. Then click on the pole on the opposite riverside to get the raft moving. Then click on the people you want to leave the raft.

Click here for the IQ challenge, then the blue circle-button to play
and please don't email me for a solution. You should be old enough to figure it out.

Have fun, and yes I solved it the puzzle within the first 5 minutes of play :-)
