    I tried this on Firefox and couldn't complete Number 1. But the same method worked in IE. Anyone else have this problem.

    Yeah, finally after 90 Minutes I manage to solve all 25 Levels.

    I really enjoyed this nice game even though in some parts it's very "unfair".

    OK, I am at level 23 and skipped two along the way. This is a really stupid game. The hints are useless ("It's on your keyboard" - no, REALLY?) and in some levels things don't work. For "brighter" my monitor is already at its brightest and no manipulation gets me anywhere. Stupid, stupid game.

    @ Carly

    you don't need to set you monitor Brighter... Make a Screenshot & copy in to Photo-Shop -> there you can make it brighter (gamma)

    I guess this one is not Mac-compatible?

    #4 IS on the keyboard.
    The lock on the screen is the clue and when you press this key a light either turns on or off.

    stupid game I'm not downloading some program just to play a game/Besides I don't have a printer for the last level

  20. Bobette10 October 2009 at 04:26

    omg this is HARD I don't even get a lot of these levels and whoever said the hints don't work- more power to ya. I've unlocked all but the last set of levels, and I can't figure any of those out. Plus for "candle" I think you need a mic/webcam, neither of which I have. Oh, well. Pretty good overall, I guess. :)

  21. Lichen Fairy10 October 2009 at 16:32

    Bobette: you can just type the password out on the candle level.

    general hint:What does someone do on their birthday?

  22. Bobette10 October 2009 at 17:48

    omg thank you Lichen!! How could I have missed the little memo at the top... I feel dumb. I'm still stuck on some others, though. You are like the official hint giver of this site. Thanks again!! :)

  23. Lichen Fairy10 October 2009 at 21:19

    no problem! ;)

    Which other ones are you stuck on? I've managed to get most of them now.

  24. Bobette10 October 2009 at 23:57

    umm... 4, 8, 10, 13, 17, 20, and 21-25. I'm afraid I'm not very good at this game :) You can help me out if you want, I really don't care about the ending. Hey, do you have a Kong account, Lichen? Thanks!

  25. Lichen Fairy11 October 2009 at 14:46

    No sorry, I don't.

    4 - the padlock is a clue to a key on your keyboard. you have to contradict the light twice in a row I think.

    8 - go to the url and see if there is anything different

    10 - run away before the bomb explodes. then see what happens next

    13 - where is there a wheel on your computer?

    17 - Who is me?

    20 - try to find a way to reload the battery but not the whole page

    21-22 - think wii sports tennis, if not, how does pong usually work?

    23 - it wasn't too late yesterday

    24 - just do what the title says

    25 - try printing


    Hope that helps! ;)

    Yeah, I tried level 1 on Mac with Firefox, and apparently level 1 works on Mac with Safari but not Firefox. Phooey.

    Oh, and level 2 requires a two-button mouse. Phooey phooey.

    Thank you Lichen! Those really helped!

  29. matt w11 October 2009 at 20:14

    Sorry, I think it's level 3 that requires the two-button mouse. (I mean, you can do it without one, but it hardly makes sense that way.)

    Oh boy, It's taken me this long to get the game to work and believe me, having to tweak Opera to be able to finish really irritated me.

    I would have liked this better if a little bit more thought had gone into testing/beta'ing.

  36. Lichen Fairy15 October 2009 at 20:25

    Right then, here are hints for all of the levels. :)

    1. get rid of the rectangle

    2. there is something in white text (how do you read white text)

    3. which click is circled?

    4. the padlock is a clue to a key on your keyboard. you have to contradict the light twice in a row I think.

    5. there is an easy way to avoid the grey bit IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAMESCREEN

    6. watch for where the safezone will be and work out the pattern

    7. the mouse is a red herring. What did you do for level three?

    8. go to the url. Is there anything different?

    9. is there any way to make the text bigger?

    10. run away before the bomb explodes. then see what happens next

    11. do just what it says

    12. turn up the volume and follw the DIRECTIONS

    13. where is there a wheel on your computer?

    14. how do you make the game smoother?

    15. there was a password in the instructions, but I cna't seem to find it anymore. It's still a NICE GAME though.

    16. what do people do on their birthdays?

    17. whose corners?

    18. who is me?

    19. for webcam users, block out the light when the red light comes up. I don't know how else to do it.

    20. reload the battery but not the whole page

    21. + 22. think wii sports tennis, if not, how does pong usually work?

    23. it wasn't too late yesterday

    24. just do what the title says

    25. try printing
