ReplyDeleteI am sure its the cb hint from K

ReplyDelete- number hint in C (radio)
- numbers in letters
Hello! Thanks Self-Defiant for this new game, I love them!
ReplyDeleteI'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
ReplyDeletestill trying to work out the wheel
ReplyDeleteand screwdriver in O
ReplyDeletePiano bfdacg
ReplyDeletearrow direction order in K, start with TL CB & without diagonal arrows:
ReplyDeleteB-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?
ReplyDeletei think its got to do with the side on which the cabinet doors open.... still trying!!!
ReplyDeleteDeni: I tried that but nothing... but maybe I did some mistake, gonna try it again :-)
ReplyDeleteorange gem in J
ReplyDeletedont get the wheel - yet
ReplyDeletesorry, how to I solve the Piano? Still don't get it
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! An almost late Rachel jumping in!! LOVE LOVE LOVE these games!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone!!!
I should have refreshed first :D
ReplyDeleteThanks doris.. I swore I tried that, but will give it another go
Yeah, I tried that and opposite of that, still not working.
ReplyDeleteOrange gem in J? I see nothing... neither with nor without the flashlight.
ReplyDeleteWhere is it?
I tryed it too many times. I even took the lever down each time, but nothing...
ReplyDeleteand I guess there is the 7th gem in there, and we are all stuck!!!
ReplyDeletebtw, for the wheel, we can only turn in one direction, right?
ReplyDeletemhthyr: for piano is the 6 digit code, replace each number by the letter (a=1, b=2 etc.)
ReplyDeleteValerie, there's a box on the wall, left side. Use screwdriver to open it
ReplyDeletePOP got it! :) Somewhere on the wall to the left.
ReplyDeleteNow for that wheel in T...
Valérie,
ReplyDeleteorange in panel on left wall in J, use SD from O
piano bfdacg
ReplyDeletePlease 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.
ReplyDeletethe lines start top left and end top middle
ReplyDeletewe 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 :)
ReplyDeletewe re gonna stay in room T forever...
ReplyDeleteIsn'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. ^^
ReplyDeleteOk, 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.
ReplyDeleteThx, Selfdefiant!
ReplyDeleteI 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?)
ReplyDeleteAnd out! Thank you again SD for that help (and the whole game).
ReplyDeleteah, refreshing...!
ReplyDeleteSelfdefiant
ReplyDeleteyour 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.
ReplyDeleteThink 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.
ReplyDeleteawkward question... what do I do with all the gems?
ReplyDeleteha! out now. thank you Selfdefiant!
ReplyDeleteThere is a face in a window in D, see it?
ReplyDeleteand out
ReplyDeletethanks for coming to our rescue
oh no.. we have to put the gems in the right places?? I didn't note down anything *lol*
ReplyDeleteOnly managed to place yellow gem in A
lol mhtyhr - you have to go through the whole house again
ReplyDeleteOk, thank so much! I was using the arrows until now, that's why it didn't work
ReplyDeleteThanks Morgan.
ReplyDeleteOut 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
& out!
ReplyDeleteThx, 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your help ^^
mhtyhr,
ReplyDeletethe 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
ReplyDeleteSelfdefiant, we all have to thank you for the great games anyway!
ReplyDelete@Premiere.. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMade me feel better knowing that I didn't actually miss all those hotspots the first time round
hmm. I missed the green gem somewhere. Anybody know where the green gem is?
ReplyDeletewithout the map dont know what room is A is it the main room with revolving door locked with strange force ?
ReplyDeletegear clue for t was confusing, thanks for the clarification SD. Great game, Thanks
ReplyDeleteBtw, Selfdefiant,
ReplyDeleteI 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! :)
ReplyDeletediana,
ReplyDeletestart screen is F (strange force door)
my pleasure, EnJoy!
ReplyDelete☺

ReplyDeleteWhere r d green or purple keys? I'm a big SD fan and am not usually this bad...
ReplyDeleteAnybody? Wandering aimlessly, still hunting for green gem. I really can't find it... :(
ReplyDeleteSilla. You need wrench to turn vale for green key in R. For purple use flashlight in D
ReplyDeleteHey Holly, green gem is the last one you get, after opening the box in room T
ReplyDelete**Valve is in L
ReplyDeletewow finally made a live one...
ReplyDeleteI got six gems and do we need another one? I thought I solved all quits
ReplyDeleteAlso 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.
ReplyDeletemtnbkr. Oh for craps sake. I had it but there is so much inventory it was like two screens over. Thanks. Derp.
ReplyDeleteSilla, crowbar's in A
ReplyDeleteSilla. No tool needed for that one. Just slide the panel down
ReplyDeleteplease, code for box in S!
ReplyDeleteSilla,
ReplyDeletepull panel down.

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

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.
ReplyDeleteI've read silver key in n can't find it. Can anyone help please.0
ReplyDeleteyvonne, there's a panel to slide in the window shutter.

ReplyDeleteAnita,
ReplyDeletethere'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.
ReplyDelete@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 :)
ReplyDeletenope, Anita,

ReplyDeleteAnita,
ReplyDeletefind orange gem first...
Very nice puzzle with the cabinets and arrow dial SD. It was fun to see.
ReplyDeletePahs
@Anita, you need to find all 7 gems, then go through the house again to find the spots in which to put them.
ReplyDelete@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?
ReplyDeleteOMG! I totally missed that one! You are da bomb Premiere! Thanks so much!!! And, Thank You SD for these AWESOME games!
ReplyDeleteOO, L-D-R-L-D-R-U-L-U-R worked for me after refreshing. BUT BEWARE you'll lose all your notes:(

Ah, here you are, LaChatonFou,
ReplyDeletepple already were whining for a WT, LOL!
THANK YOU, LeChatonFrou!!!
ReplyDeleteok 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 ?
ReplyDeleteHoly s... You gotta hit the switch between each crank of the gear.. Drove me nuts!! That was the worst.. :(
ReplyDeleteI 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 :(
ReplyDeletediana,
ReplyDeleteat 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.
diana,
ReplyDeleteyou 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!
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff again, Self Defiant!!
Well what do you know thanks again I had refreshed and yet the old code worked go figure
ReplyDeleteIf interested, here's how the CB door sequence looks like:
ReplyDelete(click right to open link in a new tab)
CB DOORS OPENING SEQUENCE
well sorry to say this is not a score to even mention lol very sad
ReplyDeletediana,
ReplyDeletefor me, having fun in a game (or also sometimes tearing my hair, LOL) & esp. playing live, that's important, not the points...
☺
ReplyDeleteThe Wheel in T!?!?!?!? I used how the doors open as reference as the $&^% wheel only has four directions.
ReplyDeleteFirst 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!
ReplyDeleteWell 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
ReplyDeletePremiere, 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".
ReplyDeleteYou 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.
ReplyDeleteMany 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.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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
ReplyDeleteHello - 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 :-).
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Kate
Btw:
