The Crimson Room

[OneBlueSky]

here's a puzzle/game similar to those old text-based adventure games (e.g. Hitchhiker's Guife), except it's point-and-click . . . be prepared to spend some time if you enter "The Crimson Room" . . . :)

1. Okay gimme a hint

I have the box and the ring and the memo and the CD case the third key. What next? I can't seem to get the third key to open the door.

[Metatron]

2. Check out the window frame for another key

(and there is a cassette in the room, as well)

[Lizz612]

3. Hmmm

I got that key already. Now I have the cassette and a battery.

[Metatron]

4. I'm stuck, too

I have a mystery box, three keys, cassette, cd case, memo, power cord, and that ring. I haven't found a battery yet.

[Lizz612]

5. The battery

is behind the bed, when facing the blank wall.

[Metatron]

7. Thanks!

Have you watched the little movie? I am still stuck in the damn room, though.

9. I finally watched the movie... but I'm still stuck.

[Lizz612]

17. How do you watch the movie?

::lost::

[JVS]

12. how do you get behind the bed?

[JVS]

13. nevermind

[Lizz612]

6. Oh Oh!

I just got another ring after playing with the curtain a bunch!

[afraid_of_the_dark]

8. The rings fit in the mystery box... but I'm stuck now. n/t

[Fenris]

10. Solved it.

If you're having trouble with the film: watch where the guy is pointing and how many times the cross flashes.

[afraid_of_the_dark]

11. WHOO HOO... thanks for the hint :)

[Lizz612]

14. What next?

I put the two rings on the box... and?

[Metatron]

18. Add the battery and cassette to . . .

the inside of the mystery box. Then click on it to watch the movie.

15. How depressing.

I posted this two weeks ago, and it got zero replies.

No one loves me. :pout:

[Lizz612]

16. I love you

But I'll love you more if you tell me what to do next!

[ZenLefty]

19. Have you found the rod?

It's behind the bed, I think. Or between the mattress and the headboard.:loveya:

[Metatron]

20. I have the rod but

am clueless as to what to do next.

[ZenLefty]

21. If you put the battery and casette into the box,

then you should have already used the rod. :shrug:

[Metatron]

24. Oops, I think I meant the metal stick

(I got fed up and walked away from the game hours ago!)

[ZenLefty]

25. You got to the metal stick?

You were like one step away from finishing! :o

[Metatron]

27. LOL - that figures

I'm still stuck in the Crimson Room, as well as in the Hichhiker's game mentioned in the original post!

[Lizz612]

22. No.

I think thats what I'm missing. Could you tell me where it is? :loveya:

[ZenLefty]

23. I already did.

There's a secret message in post #19...

[Lizz612]

26. OoooOOOoo!

Secret messages are fun! Thanks I've got it now! Thanks man! :loveya: :loveya:

[Lizz612]

28. Seen the movie

Counted the crosses. Now what? I know I'm close!

[JVS]

30. You were too far ahead of your time

You forward thinking genius!
