Much has been written about the origin of The Fool’s Errand, but not of 3 in Three. The story came first, rather quickly in fact. Being a fan of Monty Python and of the animations of the Canadian Film Board, the idea was inevitable. The Fool's Errand is a game consisting of a collection of puzzles that together tell a story. The following walkthrough gives the solutions to the normal puzzles in the order they are accessible from the menu system, not in the order in which they are available to play in the game.

Description of The Fool's Errand
Designed by Cliff Johnson, one of the best puzzle designers ever, the concept behind Fool's Errand Mens mac championship game. is so original that it defies categorization.
Suffice to say that it is part devilish puzzle collection, part novel, part adventure and an all-around classic. While the game would deserve classic status on the merits of unique puzzles alone, it is the masterful blend of puzzles with an enchanting, well-written story (a medieval Fool who runs errands for people) that evolve, that makes Fool's Errand a uniquely original game. When each puzzle is solved, the player gains access to more story (with more puzzles to solve). In a master stroke unmatched in creativity to this day, Cliff even designed an uber- puzzle-- a big puzzle that can only be solved once all the smaller puzzles are solved and all the story pages are revealed. Solving this overarching puzzle requires careful re-reading of the game's story, as clues are hidden between the lines and old paragraphs take on new meanings.
Puzzles in the game are wonderfully diverse. Some, such as the card game you will play, are downright original, and even the derivative ones (such as the dozens of word puzzles) are hardly ever boring. Characters in the story, which sounds as if they were plucked from Alice in Wonderland, are fleshed out with great detail and confidence. There's really no fault I can think of for this game, except that you will be sorry to see it end when it does.
See for yourself why I think this game deserves to be on every 'Best Computer Games' list; if you are even remotely interested in puzzle games, Fool's Errand is a must-have.
