Tricky raft puzzle...

Rules are in (possibly) Chinese or here they are in english...

Only 2 persons on the raft at a time

The father can not stay with any of the daughters without their mother's presence

The mother can not stay with any of the sons without their father's presence

The thief (striped shirt) can not stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there

Only the Father, the Mother and the Policeman know how to operate the raft

To start click on the big blue circle on the right.

To move the people click on them. To move the raft click on the pole on the opposite side of the river.

Good luck!

Nice one. I like the animations when you make a mistake 🙂 Such a violent family!
I got everyone across eventually though.

yeah the animations are funny. right if you solved it thenn tell me how its driving me nuts. PM me so it can still annoy others... 😉

If you want I can pm you with the solution, but it would ruin the fun of it, IMO...

I got it!!! I'm a genius!😏
Wouldn't be able to tell you how I got it though! There's about twelve trips over and it's very confusing!😕
Great post Malinga😀
I'm so intelligent!🙄

I did it in 17 (sorry about the repeated numbers in my pm). Is it possible in less?

Idid it twice, but each time I tried it again, I could not get it.

Will keep trying until I can do it, and then PM the solution to interested parties.

However, an EXCELLENT puzzle - thanks and recced for the link!

17 moves here too, which I think is the minimum (although are several ways/orders to do it). The thief has (at least) one wonderful opportunity to escape, for those in need of a hint.

also 17, I have the solution if you PM me.

i got it also!!!

17 appears to be the minimum. The ending is a bit disappointing, I'll have to confess.
