ReplyDeleteOh.. ladder goes to where the cable is.
ReplyDeleteI clicked above the rocking chair on the wall and got some kind of safe there. Changing symbols.
ReplyDeletei think we need electrical tape. you can place the ladder by the broken cord
ReplyDeleteUsed ladder in the cables scene, but i need some tape to put them together.
ReplyDeleteConfusing panel puzzle ... don't know where to find clues
ReplyDeletePlace the ladder on the left side in the wire view, have to connect the two wires, probably need tape.

ReplyDeletejust emptied the sleeping pills in someone's drink, lol
ReplyDeleteInside the new room, look for a locked box in between left pillars.
ReplyDelete@Ellie wondering the same
ReplyDeleteGot a key! Click on the back wall in the attic, on the lighter part of the wall.
ReplyDeleteThat key gives TAPE! lol. Use it to open the drawer with mirror.
ReplyDeleteConnected the battery charger.
ReplyDeletewe're all getting charged up now, it seems...
ReplyDeleteUse tape to join the wires, use then charger to have it plugged.
ReplyDeleteCan't do anything with the charger ... still red.
ReplyDeleteHmm, do we wait for the charger to charge :p
ReplyDeletedid everyone find the holes between the rafters on the right in the new room? that's how you put the guy to sleep. need to steal his remote i think

zoz
ReplyDeleteWhy would you need the remote?
Thanks @zoz!!Found the drink now, between the pillars!
ReplyDeletelol @zoz, you were right lol. and i thought you were kidding about that!! Lol, for everyone else havin problems with the use of the pills, zoom in between the right pillars in new room.
ReplyDeleteThe man is sedated.. so is the charger apparently.
ReplyDeleteStuck ....
ReplyDeletethere's a skeleton behind peep holes
ReplyDeletestupid charger!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to restart and try charging the batteries first.
The painting and the hatch with the X is unused...and the chest in the other attic...
ReplyDeleteThanks @Truus!! Flashlight is working there!
ReplyDeleteand out
ReplyDeletegood find @Truus! got his pocket watch - looks like his time ran out, lol
ReplyDeleteGot a key from the watch i took from the skeletton, change the time to be like the code on the wall by the skeletton.
ReplyDeleteI think the torch will work automatically in a dark place
ReplyDeleteThanks @Truus, use flashlight in skeleton to find a pocket watch and some codes on wall. Use the code to set the time on watch and get yet another key!
ReplyDeleteUsed the new key to get a drill. Going for the x-mark... might work there.
ReplyDeleteAaaand ... OUT
ReplyDeleteOh no... the drill needs to be charged first.
ReplyDeleteGot the drill. Open it in about item view and press the lower part of to remove it.
ReplyDeleteput drill battery in the charger first @ellie
ReplyDelete22:15:20
ReplyDeletelol, keep the mouse button pressed when using the charged drill.

ReplyDeleteLoved to play live!
ReplyDeleteMissed this great feeling for quite too long!!
lol, thanks all for this.
@zoz, can we talk now or should I wait for later?
i'll go to msn now @Edgar
ReplyDeletewere are batteries?
ReplyDeleteThe batteries are in the radio under the mirror. You turn it. Small door on back
ReplyDelete@Fey, there is a radio inside the cabinet, get the batteries from there.
ReplyDeleteThe combination for the safe on the wall behind the rocking chair is logic. You click the panel and then organize the triangles in a way chronological way to make up a star..Starting with the two triangles beside eachother...etc.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone might have trouble with that :)
can some1 explain the triangle puzzle 2 me...been a slow day 4 me so i'm just not getting it....
ReplyDelete@Eisa - The combination for the safe on the wall behind the rocking chair is logic.
ReplyDelete- The first panel you see can be removed by just clicking on it.
- The panel behind it has boxes. Each box needs its own symbol.
- On top, begin with two triangles beside eachother
- The next one needs two triangles about to make a star - barely on top of each other..
ETC:
the last two boxes need to contain the stars..

ReplyDelete@Johnny
ReplyDeleteI solved that puzzle by counting the triangles the shapes form. Then putting them in order from least to most. (was it 3,4,5,7,8 or something)
I must be missing something but the hands of the watch only move in increments of 5. I am just at a loss how I'm supposed to place the hand on 22.
ReplyDeleteT.T I can't find the stupid skeleton!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOooooh! TY I'm an idiot
ReplyDelete@Peke. THANK YOU!
ReplyDelete@Peke your´re probably right. There might be another system. I did it twice in under 10 sec with my starmaking method :p So that works too...
ReplyDelete@Jared
ReplyDeletemilitary time 22=10
So the time is 10:15:20
Aand I guess Sophie solved it.
Use military time
ReplyDeleteIn Europe we are using military time (i did not know that it is called like this), so i had no problem with this code at all (for one time lol)
ReplyDeleteOut all by my own wow.
Goddamn. Seems like commenting is buggy at the moment. (again)
ReplyDelete@Johnny
I did see that your method worked as well. I wonder if there's a third. :)
I have the battery charger all plugged in, I have pills, and I have a stuck flashlight. What am I supposed to do now? I don't see skeletons or drinks at the moment...
ReplyDeleteI cannot for the life of me find this skeleton that's being mentioned.
ReplyDeleteGo to the second attic room and at the right side between two wooden pillars (click there) you can see 2 holes on the bottom. Wait until the guy put his glas on the table and put him pills in the glass, then he will fall asleep.
ReplyDeleteWhen you click the wall in front of the holes you will find the skeletton (flashlight is used there)
You have to zoom in the holes of course.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap. I can't believe how many times I (thought I) clicked there!
ReplyDelete@Zazie Thanks. I had already drugged the drink just didn't know where to look for the skeleton.

What panel do you open to input a code, in the safe above the rocking chair?
ReplyDeleteGreat walkthrough @Peke!
ReplyDeleteHere is your requested screen shot of the order of the stars to open the wall safe:
Stars to open the safe
@stevec777,
to see the squares on the wall safe that you need to change to open it, you need to click on it 7 times (anywhere on it). Do this when zoomed so that you see the five triangles.
I don't find the battery charger !
ReplyDeleteFinally got it, I totally missed this view.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to restart another time because I plugged the charger before I put the batteries in it !!!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand how to use the battery charger ! The batteries won't fit in it, wether it is plugged or not !
ReplyDeletegreat walkthrough @Peke!
ReplyDelete@Pascale, the batteries don't go in the charger, the flashlight only works to see the skeleton
the bottom of the drill comes off and that's the battery that goes in the charger. Check Peke's view with an extension cord
I can't find the peep holes. I went into the new room and got the charger, but can't find any peep holes???
ReplyDeleteI found a site who has a pic of the safe solution:
ReplyDeletehttp://escapesgames-walkthrough.blogspot.com/2010/05/hostage-in-attic-walkthrough.html
