pool cocktail escape 2
A pool, some cocktails and a lot of puzzles to be solved before you can escape: pool cocktail escape 2 by TomaTea.
Another great one. Quick turnaround, too, didn't TomaTea just come out with a game a little while ago? Actually had trouble figuring out where to use the screwdriver...then felt stupid for missing it. Thanks Bart!
Now I want that cocktail! This is reminiscent of a prior game by TomaTea, but I'm not complaining. I love their games. I found this one much more straightforward than the last one, but still enjoyable!
ugh....I'm not getting the geometric shape cupboard, or the numbers cupboard open yet! I reckon I understand the numbers one...but it doesn't seem to be working for me yet. Am waiting for my observation skills to kick in for the geometric one...
If you don't like the music, then simply turn it off: Click on "game menu" in the lower-right corner of the game, then click on "music" to toggle it. Simple.
Two things threw me for a long time: where to use the screwdriver (until I saw the mention of the pool grate and went looking) and the four digit code.
The trick to the code is not to look for a value for X, but to read it as a multiplication sign.
jj, I've had the same problem with a number of flash games (increasingly so), but I also have a solution. Adobe stopped supporting Linux a while ago, so if you're using Firefox on Ubuntu then you are using a very old version of flash. But, you can install Google Chrome on your ubuntu machine and get a much more recent version of flash (which Google bundles with their Chrome release). With that version, all of the flash problems I've been having disappeared.
For some reason, the TomaTea games don't work for me anymore; the last time I was able to play one was a month or two ago. In case it matters, I'm running Firefox on Fedora Linux (Gnome desktop).
After searching everywhere I just went thru half of the 216 combos to break the geometric code & get out. sorry but my eyes were watering by then & I can't say what the code was. but I started with stars.
Yay TomaTea!
ReplyDeleteFantastic game as usual. Note: You have to be very observant to find the solution to the cupboard with the 3 geometric shapes.

ReplyDeleteFun. It took me a while to see the that the pictures on the tables had a folded corner.

yay! ok, figured out the geometric shapes! =)
ReplyDeleteIt took me a while, but finally got out! Yay! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not gonna even try because of how the music always drives me crazy
ReplyDeleteFun little escape! Thanks for sharing this one with us, Bart!

ReplyDeleteI've been unable to play the last two TomaTea games...is it because I use my laptop with Ubuntu installed that they don't load?
ReplyDeleteAnother nice and relaxing game from Toma Tea. I liked the puzzles, though I had missed the screen for the pool grate! Thanks Bart.

I went straight till the end! yay!
ReplyDeleteSeeing the geometric shapes took me a lot longer than I like to admit o-O
ReplyDeleteAll in all, a nice way to spend some time - thank you Bart!
