  5. ok, I managed the clock.
    but still don't know how to sharpen the pencil or what to do to the blue bird...

    ReplyDelete
  6. I mean: green, green bird :)
    When someone wonders why I cannot get out of here all by myself...

    ReplyDelete
  7. you need to find something to wind it up with

    ReplyDelete
  8. How do you get the Green bird?

    ReplyDelete
  9. to get the bird you have to open the glass shelf.
    the key is inside the box with a 4-digit combination.
    The hint is inside the book.

    Now I found the winding thing!
    ...still, I'm not too keen with the tool, apparently...

    ReplyDelete
  11. Where did you find the windy thing?

    ReplyDelete
  12. @Anonymous:
    I had the winding thing already... I guess it was inside the clock!
    The hint for the clock, again, should be in the book.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I opened the clock and got a box with a picture code. Is that code in the book? If it is, I am blind...

    ReplyDelete
  14. Never mind... You use the funky artwork on the wall to open the box!

    ReplyDelete
  15. yuppie!!!
    I am out and proud - even if after Anonymous :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. what's the code for the clock ? i don't get it...

    ReplyDelete
  17. lol I like the little hidden Valentines message at the end :)

  18. @ 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.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow, that was tough, but that was very well made.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'm sorry I really can't understand the clock!!!! What does 25 mean????? Can someone help me please???? Thanks!!!!!

    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.

    ReplyDelete
  22. 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.

    Any more clues?

    ReplyDelete
  23. 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.

    Help!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Place the hand with 3 sides @ the 3, the hand with 4 sides @ the 4, & the hand with 6 sides @ the 6....

    ReplyDelete
  25. look at the shape of the artwork (the sides of it, anyway). that'll give you the order of shapes on the box.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Could use a hint for how to wind the bird. Got the key, but not sure what combination.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Never mind. Super Slimes to the rescue!

    ReplyDelete
  28. i still can't get the box you get from the clock open!! help please

    ReplyDelete
  29. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  30. the 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.

    ReplyDelete
  31. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  32. this 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?

  34. Coool! I'm out! I've been stuck a bit on the box with the images code.
    Want more games like this! :D

    ReplyDelete
  35. 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?

    ReplyDelete
  36. @ tam,

    Sorry that I couldn't stick around. I needed to turn my computer off.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Just difficult enough... excellent game!

    ReplyDelete
  38. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  39. how do you move the stool under the clock? it keeps moving away!!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. 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

    ReplyDelete
  41. under the corners of the carpet are buttons and shapes of paying cards
    the picture at the back of the paper shows in what order to press this buttons

    ReplyDelete
  42. Remember to use a US keyboard layout to solve the last puzzle, cos on my UK keyboard the hash is beneath the backspace key!!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Did anyone else see the Happy Valentine's Day under the Bird when you get out??

    ReplyDelete

    Just use the provided in-game keyboard. No hassle.

    ReplyDelete
  45. @ Bart,

    Please make your next game an "escepe-the-room" type game. All of your game are great but I love room escape ones!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Oops.... Ment "escape-the-room". I hate when I have typos in my posts.

    ReplyDelete
  47. couldn't do it without help :S

    ReplyDelete
  48. woo hoo! I got it with only one minor clue.

    ReplyDelete
  49. How funny. I didn't understand the art on the wall. I opened the box by pure luck.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I used the order of the slime colours to open the box.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Excellent game :) It was hard but I've enjoyed every second of it :)
