shape escape
I hope your room escaping skills are in good shape: shape escape.
@ Anonymous: inside the book there is a sentence, but on another page you find a geometrical shape and a number. You compare the shape in the book with the shapes on the clock hands.
@ Anonymous: maybe it's coming too late, but - You compare the shape in the book with the shapes on the clock hands. To be more precise: the number of edges. It's proportional.
NM, I got the clock (luck). But I don't understand the art work on the wall and the box that I got from the clock, I hate are work I can never see the meanings behind them.
Can't finish! :0( I'm left with the pic with the heart and stick people on it, there is nothing else I can use, any more pointers? I know it's going to be obvious!
I've gotten the door open, but can't do anything with the bit of metal or the unsharpened pencil. I've checked the carpet corners, but have no idea what I'm supposed to do with them. Help!

Clock screen
Use the drawer handle on the right drawer, open it and get a knife/cutter Click on the blade to open it Use the cutter on the pencil to sharpen it Use the sharpened pencil on the back side of the paper to get a plan If you click on each angle of the room, you’ll notice a button under the carpet and a symbol (hart, spade, club, diamond) You should have : Club —– Diamond | | | | chemney side | | Heart —– Spade

Out on my own as well. Didn't know what to do with the pentagon "hint". Then the book icon got inactive, so I couldn't check it anymore, but appararently I wouldn't need it anymore. Any clues on this clue?
doesn't look like anyone has posted the pentagon hint correctly. 25 on a clock is the number 5 which is the same number of sides as the pentagon. So match the number of sides to the number on the clock and you have your answer.
I don't understand the very last part I have the door open, the back of the paper has a picture on it and everything else has been fully used, how o i get out
FIRST! YAY!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when Anonymous always precedes me...
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! I got out all on my own! Yay!
ReplyDelete@ tam
Sorry... I hope that you're first for the next game.
And out :) yay - one I could actually complete with out any help!! thanks Bart
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous
ReplyDeleteThank you, very lovely! but now you are supposed to linger around in order to help less quick and bright people like me...
ok, I managed the clock.
ReplyDeletebut still don't know how to sharpen the pencil or what to do to the blue bird...
I mean: green, green bird :)
ReplyDeleteWhen someone wonders why I cannot get out of here all by myself...
you need to find something to wind it up with
ReplyDeleteHow do you get the Green bird?
ReplyDeleteto get the bird you have to open the glass shelf.
ReplyDeletethe key is inside the box with a 4-digit combination.
The hint is inside the book.
@ Magnus Jorgensen
ReplyDeleteNow I found the winding thing!
...still, I'm not too keen with the tool, apparently...
Where did you find the windy thing?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous:
ReplyDeleteI had the winding thing already... I guess it was inside the clock!
The hint for the clock, again, should be in the book.
I opened the clock and got a box with a picture code. Is that code in the book? If it is, I am blind...
ReplyDeleteNever mind... You use the funky artwork on the wall to open the box!
ReplyDeleteyuppie!!!
ReplyDeleteI am out and proud - even if after Anonymous :)
what's the code for the clock ? i don't get it...
ReplyDeletelol I like the little hidden Valentines message at the end :)
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous:
ReplyDeleteinside the book there is a sentence, but on another page you find a geometrical shape and a number.
You compare the shape in the book with the shapes on the clock hands.
thanks tam
ReplyDeleteWow, that was tough, but that was very well made.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I really can't understand the clock!!!! What does 25 mean????? Can someone help me please???? Thanks!!!!!
ReplyDelete@ Anonymous:
ReplyDeletemaybe it's coming too late, but -
You compare the shape in the book with the shapes on the clock hands.
To be more precise: the number of edges.
It's proportional.
wow, this one is tough. I am still lost on the clock and the proportional. I have tried numerous ways with the 3 hands but I can't get it.
ReplyDeleteAny more clues?
NM, I got the clock (luck). But I don't understand the art work on the wall and the box that I got from the clock, I hate are work I can never see the meanings behind them.
ReplyDeleteHelp!
Place the hand with 3 sides @ the 3, the hand with 4 sides @ the 4, & the hand with 6 sides @ the 6....
ReplyDeletelook at the shape of the artwork (the sides of it, anyway). that'll give you the order of shapes on the box.
ReplyDeleteCould use a hint for how to wind the bird. Got the key, but not sure what combination.
ReplyDeleteNever mind. Super Slimes to the rescue!
ReplyDeletei still can't get the box you get from the clock open!! help please
ReplyDeleteCan't finish! :0( I'm left with the pic with the heart and stick people on it, there is nothing else I can use, any more pointers? I know it's going to be obvious!
ReplyDeletethe outlines of the shapes coordinate to the edges of the artwork. Don't forget to look under the carpet in the corners of the room.
ReplyDeleteoh ok thanks
ReplyDeleteI've gotten the door open, but can't do anything with the bit of metal or the unsharpened pencil. I've checked the carpet corners, but have no idea what I'm supposed to do with them. Help!
ReplyDeleteand out
ReplyDeletethis is crazy...I finally got the box opened but now I just don't understand the fish with the wind-up key. how does the super slime help?

ReplyDeleteSorry that I couldn't stick around. I needed to turn my computer off.
Just difficult enough... excellent game!

Remember to use a US keyboard layout to solve the last puzzle, cos on my UK keyboard the hash is beneath the backspace key!!!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone else see the Happy Valentine's Day under the Bird when you get out??
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 10 February 2011 15:21:
ReplyDeleteJust use the provided in-game keyboard. No hassle.
@ Bart,
ReplyDeletePlease make your next game an "escepe-the-room" type game. All of your game are great but I love room escape ones!
Oops.... Ment "escape-the-room". I hate when I have typos in my posts.
ReplyDeletecouldn't do it without help :S
ReplyDeletewoo hoo! I got it with only one minor clue.
ReplyDeleteHow funny. I didn't understand the art on the wall. I opened the box by pure luck.
ReplyDeleteI used the order of the slime colours to open the box.
ReplyDeleteExcellent game :) It was hard but I've enjoyed every second of it :)
