  5. No probs, but finding that hole in the floor was a challenge to tired eyes!

  6. Excellent game, thanks for posting Bart - but the exact spot to click when following the '+-+x' clue was difficult to find. I was expecting something to show up using the torch.

  8. The windows aren't opening for me, I set the clock and pressed the top button and nothing... Why?!

  9. The clock should have 7:30 AM on it. Is that what you have?

    Take key and use it on the door.
    Place the shapes on the slot corresponding to the pic frame to get bars.

  11. I can't seem to get the box opened. I'm pressing the buttons in the correct order, but nothing happens. Any help?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Great fun! The only help I needed was i finding the red piece. Thanks Bart!

    ReplyDelete
  13. @ LorinSilver,

    How did you get the arrow box to open? The code won't work for me! Help please!

    ReplyDelete
  14. @anonymous....The code on the desk didn't work for me either. I had to use the code in the walkthrough.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Anonymous 20:03,

    The arrows order starts at the right side (not on the left side) and besides that you have to turn it 90 degrees counter clockwise so you read from top to bottom and then the order is;
    Up
    Right
    Up
    Down
    Left
    Left
    Up
    Right

  16. Having trouble with the triangle box? Imagine the shadow of the smiling face is at the top of a vertical strip of paper. Both the order and the orientation go from top to bottom. The first triangle to click is the one closest to the latch in front. The next triangle to click is along the left side of the box, pointing to the right.

    The walkthrough is referring to which way the arrows point, so 'u' means the bottom arrow, which points 'up'.

    ReplyDelete
  17. By the way,
    The hint why you had to do it like that (turning 90 degrees counter clockwise) was in the green book.

    By the, by the way.
    The walkthrough published here comes from EG24.
    Would be nice to post that too if you use it.

  18. YAY! I finally got out!

    ReplyDelete
  19. And out! Wow, first one that I can do without any help... Cool! Great game!

    ReplyDelete
  20. @ LorinSilver

    Exactly the same for me. Just the red piece...
    I felt so stupid not to have clicked once more...

    ReplyDelete
  21. I agree, that red piece was nasty! Never thought about looking two times in that drawer! Very good game!

    ReplyDelete
  22. This part of the walkthrough makes absolutely no sense:
    Use the ladder on the trap door (not in the zoomed view), go down, right and notice symbol hint on left (club, diamond, spade heart), use it on right slot and get bird shape.
    ---

    First of all - the shapes are on the right, not left. And *what* "slot"?

    ReplyDelete
  23. I cannot believe it: I had difficulties at... clicking where the little hand pointed :)
    Nice game, even if I hated it when the second door shut on my face, once I already thought I was free!

    ReplyDelete
  24. needed help with the triangle box - too hard to combine...

    loved it, by the way ;)

    ReplyDelete
  25. OK for the last part:
    You see the heart diamond spade club pattern on the wall
    Uou can click on each of these symbols
    The order you press on them is on the picture on the opposite wall
    Top circle represents the shape of the top part of the symbol and the bottom circle represents the shape of the bottom part of the symbol
    Example: it the top circle has a v notch that's the v of the top of the diamond AND the bottom circle has a v notch that's the v of the bottom of the diamond.
    :)

  26. Woo Hoo!! I did it all by myself!

    I am so proud!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. my order of arrows looks like
    v>^^<>v> but i can't figure out how i am supposed to input that into the box, even when i try it with the combination you all have it doesn't work

    ReplyDelete
  28. @pyro: your combination is ok, just rotate it 90 degrees counterclockwise and use it from top to bottom.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Great escape game, Bart! Thanks for sharing it!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yet another game where I cycled every combo on the tumbler lock in a complete sequence but couldn't open it until I found the clue - that's very unfair.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I had to use the walkthrough because I don't understand what the math symbols at the top of the ladder had to do with finding the hole under the desk. Can anyone tell me what the math symbols (called "shape symbol: in the walkthrough) had to do with? The walkthrough was very unclear about it. Just wondering.

  32. Never mind...I played it again, and I get what it means now...it's the shadows of the windows.

    Duh.

  33. This game is great!
    all the stuff inside was quite unexpected:D
    had to use the walkthrough but still enjoyed it

    ReplyDelete
  34. I'm so confused as to how the hell you put the coin in the doll!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Ok nevermind, done it ^_^
