I haven't found the way out yet.

Ah hah... Worked it out

Yeah, it's pretty frustrating at times.

It kinda reminds me of those old DOS-based ASCII games where you could see something on screen, but typing "look wall" yielded a "You see nothing out of the ordinary."

Damh you Andy!!!
Now I'm stuck in there as well.

Trevor, care to shed some light? I can't quite figure it out. It appears that there are 2 items I can't find and they must be pretty important.

Maybe just a hint?

i got all the items, and i still cant figure it out. what the heck is it pointing to?

nm, got it. that was a waste of 30 minutes. =) thanks andy.

Which items have you found?

That was indeed frustrating. Some of those items are way too hard to find, especially around the bed. I was hoping for a better ending too.

there's a useless item also. didn't use it for anything.

Hmm... I have 3 keys, a ring, a battery, a cassette, a box, a CD case, a power cord and a piece of paper with a url.

Seems one of the keys fits the door but the knob won't turn.

Rumor has it that the extra item gets used in the next room (when it becomes available).

Finally I was able to get out of there. It was tough, though. Very well thought out game. A bit frustrating to say the least.

Is there a strange way of picking up what is in the safe?
As soon as I click on it, I find my self looking at the CD player and having not picked up anything.

If anyone else is looking for the other bits in the room PM me.

Nope. I picked up the object in the safe by clicking on it.

Safe???

I need to go home at 6 and I'm bloody stuck!

Solved it.

The safe is hidden, obviously.

I'm just stuck at the combo?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Look and you'll have a hint...

Bah This is drving me up the way I can't seem to find the hot area to access the safe..

Damm Glassess damm small monitor

alrighty, i don't have time for this... hint me.

Where you stuck?

Going to PM you to not spoil it.

I have no idea where the safe is... unless it's a red box.

You need to open the box before you can find the safe

The Safe is behind the spoon and we all know you can't bend the spoon cause there is no spoon.

PMed you

Just in case anyone is having problems getting to that site. I've put it here.

Did you put the weasel underneath the mattress?

i could have sworn it was a mink.
under the mattress? the only thing under the mattress was a used tissue. maybe the mink had already been...

Did you put the weasel underneath the mattress?

All I can say is, this is a very strange thread to read without actually having seen the puzzle

Yes, I’m idle enough that I can read a thread, but not idle enough to solve a puzzle.

The theme of this game reminds me of "Cube"

Cool game but yeah very frustrating. Can't wait to see the next room. I hate the fact that you have to click in a very small area just to find certain objects.

Mink, Weasel; whatever. Did you look inside the tissue?

no, the thought kind of sickened me. should i have?

rot13'ed for those who dont wish to know. (although its not a spoiler)

under the mattress? the only thing under the mattress was a used tissue.

So you missed the Playboys?

This space intentionally left blank.

Whew! Done it with the hints to keep clicking away, I was missing the second ring which isn't really hidden as such... you just need to keep clicking... HINT: Forget about clicking on the CD player in any kind of sequence!

Gareth

more hints.(please)
under the bed? how do you look there?

Oh I've already solved it.. I was just saying it's still a pain.

well I seem to have all the stuff, and I got to watch the little dance show.....but now I'm lost.
I see no safe, no 'under the bed' and I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing here anyway.

There's no under the bed.

Pay close attention to the video.

Pay close attention to the video.

And... the thing that got me... Don't click it until after the video has disappeared from the screen.

This must be the most annoying and frustrating flash game I've ever seen. It breaks every rule about proper game design, and not in a good way. The only person having any fun in this game is the designer, as he cackles sadistically at our frustration. This person should not be allowed anywhere near Flash or any other tool that allows you to make games. At the end, where it asks you to donate towards making another room, I want to scream out to everyone, "No, don't do it! You'll just encourage him!"

I agree. Well, maybe not every rule, but a whole lot of 'em.

Perhaps I can feel a little less ashamed about my lack of progress then...

Well, when you have to click on the EXACT RIGHT area to get what you don't know you want, it's a bit tough. I even got one hint from someone, and still couldn't find what I wanted.

I thought it was cool took me about a half hour to figure out though.

Considering the super-multi-click requirement in order to get the 2nd ring to appear, my opinion is that frustration was engineered in as a *requirement* to finish the game.

-brendan

is there a clue someplace about the lock combo?

yes. most likely, you already have it in your possession.

-brendan

OK, I think a half hour is now officially the amount of time it takes to get stuck, and frustrated. I'm missing whatever is to the right of cassette. Must be important, huh?

Hint for a wuss like me?

There's more than one thing that you have to move the pillow to get to.

This is begging for a walk-through - something like the IKEA one.

Gareth

...never mind I found it.

-Greg

Ahh, I got it... Some of those places you have to click to find an item are no where near where the item is at...

Sean in NC

Finally! Got it on my third attempt.

7 1/2 minutes using no clues from this thread. Would have been quicker but couldn't find the blimming second thingy that went in the box!

I agree with Tony on the crappy design - very annoying!

Thanks, Bitt. Saved what little of my sanity remained.

Is the guy serious about donations for another room?!?

Ok I got it finally man what pain.
Have fun clicking...

Cant find the second ring. Hints anyone?

Cant find the second ring. Hints anyone?

The window must be visible.

Well, technically: the window must be made visible at least a certain # of times...

Ok, now all I need is the battery and the tape. I'm too lazy to keep trying this on my own but I'm curious what happens now. More hints please?

True. I didn't want to give away too much too quick.

> I'm too lazy to keep trying this on my own but I'm curious
> what happens now. More hints please?

Hey, who's playing the game here, me or you?

The battery and the tape are easier to find than the rod and the 2nd ring. Just keep clicking in places you haven't clicked before.

Super that game was teh awesome!!!111!!

I feel like a l337 h4x0R!!

Aaaarrrghghhhhhh!

I've got the box open and have watched the movie.

Now what? I can't find the safe!

watched the movie

Watch the movie very carefully.

I've watched it carefully. I've seen the star. I've clicked and I've clicked

click more

I've seen the star. I've clicked and I've clicked

You need to click a little bit to the right, and slightly higher than the star. Careful not to click too much. Once the location of the safe is revealed, you need to click on it accurately, or it'll go away again, and you'll have to watch the movie again.

And I'm out..

You need to click a little bit to the right, and slightly higher than the star.

Yeah. That was some nice flash programming, huh? At least it was on top of a stupid puzzle.

I know the battery is behind the bed but I still cant seem to get it. Where exactly do I have to click for it?

foot of bed.
