    @Jen: If you are already on the outdoor scene, you can go left and right. Make sure to put the shapes in their slots.

    @Nikki: count how many objects you see. the clue is on the paper from the stockings :)

    I like the "Neutral" games! Always clever, surprising, logical, and fun.

    Okay...not sure what to do with wardrobe... I tried putting both words into the wardrobe but it didn't open... :( Any hints for that one? lol

    I haven't gotten outside yet. To open the wardrobe you have to type in the four letter name of something you have picked up. :) and you have to have opened the bottom yellow drawer.

    Nikki:

    It's a multiple step clue.
    1) The picture with the red and green "things" on it.
    2) The cabinet with red and green doors.
    3) The paper with the 8 boxes and 2 4 letter words.

    I don't want to give much more than that for now....

    Nikki:
    Besides the ears, you don't have to change the bear/rabbit any further. But part of his clothing isn't the right color!
    (Put him back on the chair to dress him).

    I don't get the clue...

    Jen

    The bear needs to look like the bunny in the clue. Use gravity to stretch his ears....and find a way to dye his socks pink, then dress him in the chair. He's also a convenient stocking stuffer.... ;)

    Jen:
    The clue for the cabinet?

    Look at the order, colors and shapes of on the picture.

    The shapes look like open doors, don't they? Open the doors in the 8 door cabinet, and find the ones that match the ones in the picture.

    Now, using the placement and order of the proper doors, look at the paper with WARD-ROBE written on it. It has 8 boxes, one letter in each box. If you use the letters corresponding to the doors in the cabinet....You will spell another 4-letter word.

    Hope that helps.

    @Jen: You have to transform the bear into according to a paper :D

    Clue: sock's color should be changed, the bear should have longer ears

  21. Jen in Wamena21 December 2011 at 08:12

    Thank you. Ok. I had already figured out the socks and guessed on the the four letter word. I just can't figure out the ears.

    Nice ending!!!

    Never would have made it without your bunny hints though. The text on the bunny-clue should have been translated - my Japanese is too bad :-(

    That was really cute. Thanks for posting it, Bart!

    Just wondering though - at the very end, I understand the cucumbers for the kappa, fish for the cat, but what are those 'little people' lugging around tempura shrimp or holding forks (and is that a red olive or something on the end of the fork?)?!?!

    Needed a little help with the pink socks, but managed the rest on my own (and with a little bit of luck)
    Nice game.

    Good one. Good length, good puzzles.

    Pity that the wardrobe code was guessable, and transforming the bear was a bit hard; after that it was pretty mechanical but definitely better than average.

    Only mini by dimension, I suppose. A good, long game. Not my favorite Christmas escape, but quite enjoyable, for sure.

    Thanks, Bart!
