ReplyDeletesearched everywhere, can't find a thing either :(
ReplyDeleteloading.. not sure how much I can help
ReplyDeletewondering if this game is finished...... maybe it was published too soon?
ReplyDeleteok...progress. Look at side of cabinet for sequence to open drawers. Use pipe cutter in closet for pipe
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to find just one hint heh?
ReplyDeletebeccamik, looked there but can't find the clue...... which side of cabinet?
ReplyDeleteCurse my tiny arms! Can't reach by the cabinet!
ReplyDeletewhen i go to the right of the cabinet it says can't reach there......
ReplyDeleteThat was weird I must have tried that a dozen times, thanks beccamilk
ReplyDeleteLook at the right side of the 9-drawer cabinet
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, can someone tell me where the clue is?
ReplyDeleteThanks beccamilk! i was clicking too close to the cabinet and opening a drawer instead!
ReplyDeleteAha! TY!
ReplyDeleteWhile looking at the 9-drawer cabinet (not zoomed in) click on the wall to the right of the cabinet. That will take you to the clue
ReplyDeleteUsed pipe to get spatula from next to other cabinet, still have pipe...they don't go together....now stuck again
ReplyDeletelot's of clues in second room
ReplyDeletelooks like we need something to shave the charcoal
ReplyDeleteSecond room?????? How did you get there Jo-ann?
ReplyDeleteTritebs....use pipe beside cabinet by door
ReplyDeleteuse the pipe to get the item from behind the cabinet. Look at the item, there is a clue to open the club, heart, spade, diamond box
ReplyDelete"the mouse must be my buddy Y" that was strange...
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteCan't understand math problem. Can't fill in the variables
Game or my computer? I try things they don't work, I had also tried to look at that item lot's of times, after you posted I had to click on it lie six times to get to see it.
ReplyDeleteBeccamik, it is just simple addition. The ones column reads 6+blank equals 8... so the snail =2
ReplyDeletemixed my explosive, put it in the pipe, added the marble. Now I need an electrical cord.
ReplyDeletehave second key card... where does it go? Hmmmm
DOH missed the bed view!
ReplyDeleteused second key card in drawer above the pillows on the bed, got a key.... where does it go?
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Ann....I was making it harder than it was
ReplyDeleteStuck with key above pillows, too
ReplyDeleteCould someone please leave a clue where the pipe is? And what does the key from the 9 drawer cabinet go to?
ReplyDeleteStuck now with key from compartment above bed, pipe already to go except for electrical cord.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what to do with the clock.
Have two locked areas in second room that my key doesn't unlock
Pipe is in the closet, need wrench to remove it
ReplyDeletelilrascal, pipe is in closet, right and up
ReplyDeletePixel hunting for the cord.....
ReplyDeleteBack of box on bed say 0:30 but clock on wall doesn't react.
ReplyDeleteCan't find a place for key from bed
ReplyDeleteme either beccamik,
ReplyDeleteBack of box on bed also says R49 T18. Whatever that means.
ReplyDeletebox is a time bomb...yikes!
ReplyDeleteDon't understand the colored letter hints in cabinet with mirror either
ReplyDeleteTiquer, how did you see the back of the box?
ReplyDeletebeccamik Your cabinet post helped me get out.
ReplyDeleteSo the key from the bed is the last key to get out the door, check out the mirror.
Look at the clue with the colored letters. Then look at the colors below. What is cyan and red?
ReplyDeleteCheck the "lid" of the brown desk.. it flips up revealing another clue
ReplyDeleteTiquer, what box are you looking at? the bomb on the bed?
ReplyDeletehave to put my kids to bed. Everyone will probably be out by the time I am back...leave clues!
ReplyDeleteYes, the bomb on the bed. Click the right side to see the back.
ReplyDeleteclue for clock in in brownn desk
ReplyDeleteOnce you open the clock, it's easy peasy. Anyone need a spoiler?
ReplyDeletegot cord
ReplyDeleteSaw the pipe, should have asked asked how you got it down. Have seen pipe cutter and wrench, with no hints where they are. Frustrated so will back away and wait for more clues or a WT.
ReplyDeleteokay i have the key from bed, see the letters on the bomb (thanks Tiquer)
ReplyDeletenow what does the color clue mean?
Red:Cyan?
all those letters aren't making a dent in my brain......
lilrascal, did you see the clue for the 9 square cabinet? It is on the right side of that same cabinet.
ReplyDeleteThose letters stand for something very basic. There are twelve of them. What else in the room has twelve things on it?
ReplyDeleteand out
ReplyDeleteCorrelate the letters to the numbers on the clock, then choose the numbers that correspond to each color for the time
ReplyDeleteoh! thanks vkacademy! I totally missed that!
ReplyDeleteWhere to use remote control?
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!!
ReplyDeleteEasy escape
ReplyDeleteTiquer....on the big mirror
ReplyDeletewow! I got out! thanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteAh... Just above the where zoom out from the mirror, but above the red button. Click there to see red button.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pixel hunt locations friends, navigation was horrible with so many zoomed spots.
ReplyDeleteHow did anyone get into a second room? I have pipe and scraper, found cog for painting and clue for it but it does not work. open card box and star box. How does the painting with the cogs on it work?
ReplyDeleteevans, the cogs turn right or left. Make sure that you turn them in the direction as shown on hint.
ReplyDeleteI had the same problem :D
ReplyDeleteok, now done some things in second room, but big mirror does nothing, can't understand clock clue either still need cord for bomb and key does not open anything. I need help.
ReplyDeleteThis was SUPERB!!!
ReplyDeleteAt last another 5-star Gotmail one!
Loved the 'DIY shooting device' idea :)
Tesshi-e style :) (well, almost)
Thanks for the top-of-desk hint, it was almost the only one I needed.
Anyways, if I had been the designer I would have put HALF of clothes in the closet, just in order not to frustrate the player when he/she searches desperately for some item inside the pockets (me too)
how to shave the charcoal ??
ReplyDeleteout without help yay!!
ReplyDeleteShave? LOL...When I think of shaving I think of something else, especially when it's NOT about men, but let's lay that aside for now ;P
ReplyDeleteYou have to make POWDER from the charcoal. What tool do you normally use to make powder from spices? It's a very heavy tool, and one that has been in use for 1000+ years at that ;)
p.s. check ALL drawers thoroughly
ReplyDeleteI must be really dumb, can someone please spoil the math problem for me. No matter what I do I just can't seem to get it. :(
ReplyDelete1586
ReplyDelete+382
1968
did you do anything with bomb? I got out through door behind the mirror, maybe there is another end?
ReplyDeleteAnyone here? Guess I'll have to quit then.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much jednorogini82 !
ReplyDeleteand the red book was needed for? it was in the drawer protected by the code?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look like the bomb or red book was needed for anything as far as I could tell.
ReplyDeleteThere's a keycard in the red book, just click around and the page will eventually turn, it's used on the locked drawer of the bed.
ReplyDeleteI'm stuck at the clock, I don't get the hint from the colored letterd
>.< help with the cog wheels on painting would have been nice... cant get cog number two to turn right, only left...
ReplyDelete@aridza - you're right, there was a key, and what's more, this code opened the bottom drawer too, the one with mortar, so it was needed
ReplyDelete@Ivy Thorne - I just clicked the 2nd and 3rd cog 3 times, I didn't look which side they turn
@arizda, F red ==> 5 and S cyan ==> 7
ReplyDeletespoiler for clock
5:35

ReplyDelete@Isacus, hint for cogs is on the left door of the cb in view door (where cog found), use spatula to clean it
ReplyDeleteOne Two Three Four Five Six Seven
ReplyDeleteO T T F F S S
ReplyDeleteI suppose that I need a mortar and a pestle in order to crush the charcoal, but I can't find it.
ReplyDeleteThis one is easier and more logical than the previous ones.
ReplyDelete@pdgph when you enter code (from math) on 1st desk drawer in 2nd room, you can also open bottom drawer and find mortar
ReplyDelete@seb,
ReplyDeleteThank you. Maybe I can guess the numbers corresponding to the animal symbols, but what about the order ?
Well, the order is obvious, but the answer seems to be 1382 (1586 + 382 = 1968)
ReplyDelete@pdgph you find the order in big drawer of the desk (click to push chair) and code is 1328
ReplyDelete@seb,
ReplyDeleteSo, the order wasn't obvious ! I already pushed the chair but missed this large drawer. Thank you again, Seb !
:)
ReplyDeleteI've shot a bullet, opened the mirror that hid a door... but I've nothing left in my inventory and didn't open the compartment abouve the bed.
ReplyDelete@pdgph when you open desk drawer, read carefuly red book
ReplyDelete@seb,
ReplyDeleteI must be REALLY blind, I didn't see the book...
Incredible, I'm out ! (-: Special thanks to Seb !
ReplyDeleteI am stuck with a remote control and a key and don't know what to do next.
ReplyDeleteSeems like you're almost there Unknown.
ReplyDeleteUse that remote control at the bottom of the mirror.
Brilliant, I definately needed help from comments. Excellent many thanks Pete
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteDid all myself. :-)
Wow, these gotmail games are getting to be more of a pain than anything else. They used to be so good, too! Is it just the navigation, or is it the game play as well?
ReplyDeletegot all done, except I cant find the remote control. help please
ReplyDeletenvm find it. it was in that metal box on the wall finally out thanks to all for the hint, without the hint i know would not have made it thanks again
ReplyDeleteWell, I have read all 113 comments now. I have learned, that it was a "pixel hunting for the cord" and that someone "got cord". Perhaps someone can tell, where (!!!) that /&%$§"§$%&/cord IS. Thank you...
ReplyDeletethe cord is in 2nd room, in a drawer opened with key from the clock if I remember well
ReplyDeleteAaaaaahhh, thank you seb (It seems, that it is your mission today to rescue me:).
ReplyDeleteNow the comment "clue for clock in in brownn desk" make sense for me. I thought with this hint the locked drawer was meant. I have looked now again and again to the brown desk and finally found the "clue for clock".
Thank you again!!!
lol Prakta ;)
ReplyDeleteHow do you open the box on the wall please? All I have to use in inventory is pipe with stuff in and a key I can't find a use for.
ReplyDeleteAnd looked at the brown cabinet loads of times for clue for clock but I can't find it. Is it the cabinet with the locked top right drawer?
ReplyDeleteAaaah! Didn't know the top flipped up
ReplyDeleteFinally , I'm out....some was confusing but the rest was easy!
ReplyDeleteGuess the bomb was a red herring?
Excellent game! Challenging!!
ReplyDeleteI would never have made it out without everyone's helpful hints above! I love how everyone is so nice and positive about helping others and enjoying the game together!
