nine shelves
Robamimi is back with another escape the room exercise. Can you escape from this room with nine shelves? (alternative link)
Nice game, Thought the picture was telling me to put the rope in the pot. (Trying that should have helped me progress instead I was left scratching my head & trying stuff till I used the hint.)
I too had a problem with the candles. I figured out the solution though, 16:35:24, instead of 15:36:42. No idea where that number comes from, that's the order the candles were lit video walkthrough of the game and what works for me.
I have the rope and the pot, but now I'm stuck. The HINT says, "Initial ABC... !
I can't figure out if that's supposed to be a hint on how to open the top drawer, or if the game hasn't registered that I already have the rope because I need to do something with it I haven't figured out yet.
I tried tying the rope to the pot, but I still can't use the pot in the well. Or I can tie the rope so it dangles into the well, but then I can't attach the pot. I also have the flashlight, but can't figure out what to do with that either.
kort maar wel leuk :)
ReplyDeleteNice. Had to use the hints. Thanks Bart for the link.

ReplyDeletegreat game. hints helped me a lot. thanks bart and robamini (dificcult to thank him/her/they)
ReplyDeleteand out......phew
ReplyDeleteNo hints. No walkthrough. OUT! Can honestly say that is a first for me with one of his games. Logical and beautiful looking game.
ReplyDeleteThe ending was very clever.
ReplyDeleteThe ending was very clever.
ReplyDeleteI'm lighting the candles in the order implied by the clock, but nothing is happening.
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous @ 18:33
ReplyDeleteAre you sure? Follow the arrow...
Anonymous 18:33, I had the same problem. But you have to attach the clock numbers to the candles, and light them in THAT order.
ReplyDeleteI have the clock numbers, I've lit the candles in that order, but it still won't do anything!!
ReplyDeleteZoom in on the arrow after you have lit the candles in the correct order. You'll find a key.
ReplyDeleteWhere? I did all that but when I zoomed in, no key.
ReplyDeleteClick on the black post. It will give you a key if you have done it right.

ReplyDeleteCandles... Light the #1 position, light the #2 position which is candle 6......15:36:42 2nd candle lit is the 6th candle.
ReplyDeleteK62MZ8 ???
ReplyDeleteK62MZ8???
ReplyDeleteSubtle hint plz!!
how do u move all the red button things?
ReplyDeletethe ones that r in barts pic of the games
@ burnt ice cream
ReplyDeleteoh read the word under it ALPHABET and thik of the code it gives u
k62mz8...the clue is alphabet...which has a certain order
ReplyDeleteOut with no hints. Nicely done little exercise.
ReplyDeleteAnother nice one. Logical, not too easy.
ReplyDeleteRe clock: number sequences are usually ambiguous. Does 312 mean the button order is 312 or is it 231?
I have the rope and the pot, but now I'm stuck. The HINT says, "Initial ABC... !
ReplyDeleteI can't figure out if that's supposed to be a hint on how to open the top drawer, or if the game hasn't registered that I already have the rope because I need to do something with it I haven't figured out yet.
Please help!
Just find a way to get some water with the pot. A rope might come in handy ...
ReplyDeletegot stuck, can't find the flippers... got all the rest =(

ReplyDeleteRemember to read the writing on the dinner dish, what does it suggest?
Another lovely Robamimi. I needed a couple of nudges from the hints (and Anonymous 19:54's subtle hint), but I swam away nicely.
ReplyDeleteSubtle hint about the 3 digit safe? It says "Alphabet" and it means it!
(P.S. There are no numbers in the alphabet.)
You guys realize walkthrough's are available on youtube.
ReplyDeletebut Brent, that would be cheating ;o)
ReplyDeleteThe order for the candles has next to no relevance to the time on the clock.
ReplyDeleteThe numbers on the clock are the labels for the candles. You just light them from 1 to 6, using the designation from the clock.
ReplyDeleteAhh, that finally makes sense. I feel stupid now. :)
ReplyDelete@17:38
ReplyDeleteLook at the three-by-three bookshelf again. Specifically the names of the objects in each section.
Caroline, trust me I would of never beat this game without one, but usually I don't do walkthrough's anyways. I just give up if I reach a stand still.
ReplyDeleteout using only in game hints, but i am confused. Did I just use the flashlight underwater? Bcause that seems unsafe...
ReplyDeleteHa, I like it! I had to use some hints, but it was delightful.
ReplyDeleteshorty82 is right about the clock time being wrong. I worked most of it out other than that, (with just a tiny bit of YouTube....) :0)
ReplyDeleteI ve solved it all
