sledgehammer in T for white gem in Q

you have to use a sledgehammer which is I think in some room above the room with that wall:-)

wrench on bed in R

oh, SwissMiss - got the same problem - perhapes i should refresh more often ...

no bug one needs a sledgehammer - but my hammer still disappeared

drained the water by turning the valve in room L

that gives the green key

my hammer is dissappeared too!!!

do somebody know what to do with a gear or whatever it is in T? I tried everything...

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 7:23 AM  

blue key in S (use Benji)

@nefertiti,
I thought it's related to arrows from lockers in K, but can;t figure it out either.

Still looking for blue key

My orbs aren't dinging, I miss that noise ;-)

blue key from opening box in S

got a sledgehammer from room T and opened the wall from Q.
Found a box with 7 digits, but I only have a 6 digit code...

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 7:24 AM  

SD in O

blue key is in S in 7-dig-box

clue is 'Benji'

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 7:25 AM  

doris,

O
W
Pi
B
G

nokra - I think you need the crowbar first

Nefertiti, I think we must use the hint from the cupboard, just can't find the way how to make it work. And the 7 digit code, I guess is from Benji

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 7:29 AM  

nokra,
with crowbar in A (must buy lantern)

red gem in O - use POG hint

oh thank god something worth playing

7 digit code gives blue key

Nokra - you need the crowbar - it's in A

doris - try benji

anybody did the 'wheel-thing' in T already?

thanks premiere

5 gems but need to solve the wheel in T
I am sure its the cb hint from K

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 7:32 AM  

for blue gem in G (piano):
- number hint in C (radio)
- numbers in letters

Hello! Thanks Self-Defiant for this new game, I love them!

I'm sure we need the arrow sequence from K to open the safe in T, but I don't see how it works... Someone got it?

Box in O opens from hint in book (P=purple)e.t.c

still trying to work out the wheel

and screwdriver in O

Piano bfdacg

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 7:37 AM  

arrow direction order in K, start with TL CB & without diagonal arrows:
B-L-B-R-U-U-L
but no luck yet on wheel in T...

i'm wondering if the wheel operates the way the doors open on the cabinet...up, down, left or right?

i think its got to do with the side on which the cabinet doors open.... still trying!!!

Deni: I tried that but nothing... but maybe I did some mistake, gonna try it again :-)

orange gem in J

dont get the wheel - yet

sorry, how to I solve the Piano? Still don't get it

Woo Hoo! An almost late Rachel jumping in!! LOVE LOVE LOVE these games!!!

Hi Everyone!!!

I should have refreshed first :D
Thanks doris.. I swore I tried that, but will give it another go

Yeah, I tried that and opposite of that, still not working.

Orange gem in J? I see nothing... neither with nor without the flashlight.

Where is it?

I tryed it too many times. I even took the lever down each time, but nothing...

and I guess there is the 7th gem in there, and we are all stuck!!!

btw, for the wheel, we can only turn in one direction, right?

mhthyr: for piano is the 6 digit code, replace each number by the letter (a=1, b=2 etc.)

Valerie, there's a box on the wall, left side. Use screwdriver to open it

POP got it! :) Somewhere on the wall to the left.

Now for that wheel in T...

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 7:46 AM  

Valérie,
orange in panel on left wall in J, use SD from O

piano bfdacg
Please Selfdefiant! Help us get out!!!

Maybe the doors were too hard? It worked for me but that doesn't mean anything. You have to use the direction of the doors to point the arrow on the handle, then press the lever each time. I will give the solution in case I wrote it down wrong. Left, Down, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Up, Right. I will fix it if it's wrong.

the lines start top left and end top middle

we only have l,r,d,u nothing in between
I tried to top left as going "right" but not working
I tried to ignore the "odd" ones also not working

Morning ev1 Diddlydi here aka Diana LOL it is freezing here in Oregon this morning good day to escape a loony bin :)

we re gonna stay in room T forever...
Isn't small tool here? I'm sure he'd know what to do...

Thank you, it worked! I would have never thought to use the directions of the doors... Those arrows were too attractive. ^^

Ok, I fixed it. So sorry, the code I posted earlier will work unless you refresh. I left one out. It should be Left, Down, RIGHT, Left, Down, Right, Up, Left, Up, Right.

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 7:53 AM  

Thx, Selfdefiant!
I tried L-D-R-L-D-R-U-L-U-R with pulling lever each time & that didn't work...

I thought I did use the direction of the doors.. but for me, the 1st and 3rd door are definitely opening in the different direction. (just to be clear, the first door is top left?)

And out! Thank you again SD for that help (and the whole game).

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 7:53 AM  

ah, refreshing...!

Selfdefiant
your solution works but if one has to start at top left cb then it is not quite right it should be
L,D,R,L.... etc
pls check

This comment has been removed by the author.

Think of the arrow on the gear only as up, down, left and right. Don't use the arrows in the cupboards, the direction of the doors.

awkward question... what do I do with all the gems?

ha! out now. thank you Selfdefiant!

There is a face in a window in D, see it?

and out
thanks for coming to our rescue

oh no.. we have to put the gems in the right places?? I didn't note down anything *lol*
Only managed to place yellow gem in A

lol mhtyhr - you have to go through the whole house again

Ok, thank so much! I was using the arrows until now, that's why it didn't work

Thanks Morgan.
Out now!

just out of curiosity, have those places for gems always been there, or they've only appeared when we collectd all the gems?

Oh, and thanks Selfdefiant for keeping an eye on us :p

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:01 AM  

& out!
Thx, Selfdefiant,
for fixing (we were smart, indeed, but not the wheel, LOL).
& Thx, L&G, for our teamwork!
:-)

Yay that was really fun L&G.
Thanks for all your help ^^

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:02 AM  

mhtyhr,
the gem slot appear only after you collected all gems.

Btw just want to add that the Crystal thingy that let us travel faster is great! make everything so much faster :D

Selfdefiant, we all have to thank you for the great games anyway!

@Premiere.. Thanks!
Made me feel better knowing that I didn't actually miss all those hotspots the first time round

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:15 AM  

hmm. I missed the green gem somewhere. Anybody know where the green gem is?

without the map dont know what room is A is it the main room with revolving door locked with strange force ?

gear clue for t was confusing, thanks for the clarification SD. Great game, Thanks

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:20 AM  

Btw, Selfdefiant,
I found it a clever hint (& not too hard) for the arrow wheel!
& a little request: Is it possible to make the black bar showing descriptions of the items etc. a bit smaller? IMHO, sometimes it's just disturbing till it fades out & clicking closing X interrupts the game flow...

@ premier.. if you are still here, I wanted to thank you for all of your walkthroughs! I so appreciate them - thanks for all of the help! :)

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:27 AM  

diana,
start screen is F (strange force door)

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:28 AM  

my pleasure, EnJoy!

ok been playing along still dont get the wheel in t help

Where r d green or purple keys? I'm a big SD fan and am not usually this bad...

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:33 AM  

Anybody? Wandering aimlessly, still hunting for green gem. I really can't find it... :(

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:34 AM  

Silla. You need wrench to turn vale for green key in R. For purple use flashlight in D

Hey Holly, green gem is the last one you get, after opening the box in room T

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:36 AM  

**Valve is in L

wow finally made a live one...

I got six gems and do we need another one? I thought I solved all quits

Also can anyone tell me what to use to get the silver key in N, I have found the hotspot but neither Hammer or Crowbar help.

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:37 AM  

mtnbkr. Oh for craps sake. I had it but there is so much inventory it was like two screens over. Thanks. Derp.

Silla, crowbar's in A

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:39 AM  

Silla. No tool needed for that one. Just slide the panel down

please, code for box in S!

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:39 AM  

Silla,
pull panel down.

and hammer's in G

haha, miss a slot in O, now should be ready to go out!

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:42 AM  

pierpor,
look in book from L (A=1,B=2 etc.) & use it on «Benji» from N


SP2OILER5SPOIL14ERSPOI10LERSPO9ILER

Does anyone know where pink gem is? Also, looked in O for gem order (panel-per Premiere), but did not find anything but the POG, which I've already opened.

I've read silver key in n can't find it. Can anyone help please.0

yvonne, there's a panel to slide in the window shutter.

@premiere : THANKSSSS

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:47 AM  

Anita,
there's no gem order. After collecting all gems, go thru rooms again (with bought crystal) to find the gem slots.
- purple gem in D (use crowbar from A, need lantern)

Kimbo thank you. I clicked it, didn't slide until you replied.

@Premiere...Thank you... have purple gem. Is there a pink one? Also, there's a face on wall in C in case anyone is wanting to know :)

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 8:56 AM  

nope, Anita,
R-O-Y-B-G-Pu-W

anyon know how to open panel in Q? I used hammer but is still stuck..Sd, crowbar won't work?

Oops, just found sledgehammer...

@Premiere... I must be really blind today. Have W, Y, Ppl, R, B, and G. Am not seeing places to put the gems on walls. Am going to start wailing soon (at the walls) LOL!

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 9:05 AM  

Anita,
find orange gem first...

Very nice puzzle with the cabinets and arrow dial SD. It was fun to see.

Pahs

@Anita, you need to find all 7 gems, then go through the house again to find the spots in which to put them.

@oo,
I think one of the comments above has the code for T.
It's going according to the way the locker doors in K opens (starting from top left locker)

Another great game. I love the creepy ones. Allthough I had to use some help for this one. I never thought of using the doors as hint. Btw, could it be possible to put the text somewhere under the picture area?

OMG! I totally missed that one! You are da bomb Premiere! Thanks so much!!! And, Thank You SD for these AWESOME games!

OO, L-D-R-L-D-R-U-L-U-R worked for me after refreshing. BUT BEWARE you'll lose all your notes:(

Premiere...pl,pls,pls...a quik WT...? becouse i stuck sometimes and i don't understand anything but your wt with details... you explaind very good all. Thank you

Lot's of fun SD!! thank you for sharing your talents, your games are always fun!

finally out

Also... thank you @mhtyhr ... did not see your comment til now :)

Well, I refreshed my game and tried the gear box in T, but it still didn't work. Don't want to have to start over.....

still can't solve the wheel in T - will have to wait for a PT - "premier-through"

Thanks for the help guys!

I like the term "PT"!!

(but I don't know if for the dark ones, too...)

ah okay... I was just wondering coz I didn't see a user with that nickname here :)

I don't know what's wrong with me!!! I am totally battling with this game and can't find anything! Refreshing now in case I had that error mentioned in the comments.

Ah, here you are, LaChatonFou,
pple already were whining for a WT, LOL!

THANK YOU, LeChatonFrou!!!

ok am guessin I am the lamest one of all tryed the up down etc and then the east west method for wheel hit the lever between every turn and still !! Not a thing what am I doing wrong? U means the arrow is at the top as would it be north too right ?

Holy s... You gotta hit the switch between each crank of the gear.. Drove me nuts!! That was the worst.. :(

I refreshed long ago when suggested to do so still a no go this is a first for me that I feel so bad not to finish a SD game :(

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 10:38 AM  

diana,
at that arrow wheel was a bug - SD fixed it. You may refresh the game (unfortunately you will loose all your notes on map...), if you are playing the non-fixed version.
NON-FIXED: L-D-L-D-R-U-L-U-R
FIXED: L-D-R-L-D-R-U-L-U-R
with pulling lever in between each move.

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 10:43 AM  

diana,
you may go back & zoom in again to start a totally new sequence... (otherwise, there still could be the previous non finished one...)

Gosh, if I had only found that hotspot with the flashlight, I would have solved this AGES ago. Flip sakes, I don't know why I am missing obvious things in these games lately!

Awesome stuff again, Self Defiant!!

Well what do you know thanks again I had refreshed and yet the old code worked go figure

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 10:53 AM  

If interested, here's how the CB door sequence looks like:

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 11:16 AM  

diana,
for me, having fun in a game (or also sometimes tearing my hair, LOL) & esp. playing live, that's important, not the points...

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 11:16 AM  

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 11:18 AM  

The Wheel in T!?!?!?!? I used how the doors open as reference as the $&^% wheel only has four directions.

First I used only the door directions that had red arrows inside: Left, Up, Down, Left, Left, Right, Up, Down, Right. Pressing the lever after each turn. Because there are two Lefts next to each other and clicking the wheel only makes it go around.

That did not work. I am so frustrated with this that I will have to walk away on this one. Life is too nasty already to have a game get me down.

But thank you as always for a lovely game. Please don't use the puzzle in room T again. Or if you do put it early in the game so I can avoid playing.

Thanks SD for another great game. That "T" room clue had me going for awhile. I'm one who writes everything down and I copied exactly how the arrows went. I was so proud of myself.....only your wheel didn't have a southeast or northeast arrow. Went a little bonkers there for awhile. Once explained, however, made perfect sense. Still so much fun. No one else compares, seriously!

Well it doesn't matter which sequence I use it still does nothing!! What exactly are we supposed to click in the dial?? I've tried the L which would be like 9 on a clock, then D which would be like 6 on a clock, R which would be like 3 on a clock etc - Is that right or am too totally blonde???? Help

Premiere, I also want to send a great big thanks to you. I appreciate all your tips, hints, and suggestions. I'm starting to get a feel for how these games work, but still consider myself a "babe in the woods".

You are one awesome gamer!

DoziCowGurl- check out Premiere's 10:30 am post. I had to use the fixed code so I'm thinking that would work for you as well.

       Anonymous  1/6/12, 11:30 AM  

Many many blessings to you Premier for the visual hint on that wheel. That was insane. Too much puzzle within a puzzle. Now to find where to put the gems.

And thanks again SD for always a super job. You make my day even when I get mad. Because if I hang around here long enough, someone comes to the rescue.

I hope everyone has a blessed year.

@lamb777
Hello - I've tried both sequences given here, pressing the lever after each turn, but neither work for me - I've never been this stumped on an SD game before - perhaps someone could post a pic of the dial and the sequence to press ????

Oh SD... some days ago I stumbled onto some pics of deserted prisons whilst on tumblr and so thought of you and here you are offering a new spooky game :-).

Thank you!

Kate

NEW PLAYERS,
It seems, that this game will get more than 200 posts...!
8-D
So to see the newest comments (from post 201), look on the next page (click blue word «newest» above or under comments)

Well, after reading all hints and doing the wheel in T - I still can't get it to work , regardless of what version of directions I use. First time not being able to finish one of these!

Restarted the game from the beginning and still couldn't do the wheel in T!

Do you have to open the lockers first? I did that too!
