    I'm a bit stuck, can't open the brown box. Any clues?

    I was thinking of a different word, more in line with the theme...

    I found a three color code for the brown safe, but it doesn't seem to work. And the same six colors appear on the cube of course. What to do?

  7. palat21 January 2011 at 15:01

    yeah, I opend the safe
    look at the cube, the colors look like numbers, and then touch the colors on the safe so often like the numbers say - can't say it better in english, hope you understand

  10. Olavo21 January 2011 at 15:52

    THX! Open as well. I had even counted the amount of small blocks for each color - without any result.
    I did notice the green number, but didn't pay enough attention to the other colors. Bit tricky though...

    SPOILER - Wall safe code


    As Xcalibur said, it's based on wall colours:
    P = yellow wall
    A = pink
    S = white (ceiling)
    T = green
    E = blue
    L = brown

    So to open the wall safe to the left of the bookshelf, set up the room as shown on the TV (laptop open, drawer open, books moved), then open the safe, then press the colours in the order above.

    Thanks for the walkthrough Marianne! For the final door though, Olavo is correct: You have to enter the colors on the final door once, but push enter 3 times. Also, you cannot remove the screws and take the metal plate until after you have attached the clock hands and adjusted them accordingly.

It stays in its small size, and just trades places with whatever else I click on at the bottom of the screen (batteries, screwdriver, etc) I've tried everything that I can think of, including using the screwdriver, clicking on the tv, etc. Help please.
