A Flash point-and-click game of the escape-the-room variety, Firewall is an advergame to promote this week's release of the new Harrison Ford film of the same name.
Put your clicky finger to the test as you navigate around the room looking for clues and various items that you will need to escape. Some items can be picked up only by clicking and holding the mouse button down. Other items in the room may be clicked and dragged around. Some items can be combined with others, as per usual for games like this. Just click on the "combine" button then select each item from your inventory that you wish to combine.
The game features a solid design and interface with high production values, which is a welcome change from the many point-and-click Flash games available on the Web that are often plagued with design and interface issues. Although fairly straightforward for a game of this genre, the team at Pod Digital Design have crafted an enjoyable interactive experience and injected a bit of randomness so that items are not always found in the same places. However, the puzzles do not change, and the game is rather easy to complete and a bit short.
Several extras that relate to the movie are made available through playing the game, such as wallpapers, photos, and a movie trailer. Unfortunately, the trailer was not working when I played the game. Not a huge issue, though it would have been nice to watch it via game interface; and that being the only blemish on an otherwise flawless implementation. [Update: Steve from Pod Digital sends word that the trailer has been re-uploaded and is now functional again.]
Overall an excellent effort and a worthy diversion for 10-15 minutes of your time. Click.
Pod Digital Design was also responsible for the recently reviewed Peerflix Paparazzi game.
Cheers to Gupfee for suggesting the game, coincidentally while I was writing up the review.
Firewall walkthrough now available!
Comments (may contain spoilers)
beat it in under 20 minutes(without spoilers) which is very short for a point and click game. i really enjoyed this game, it was very user friendly as opposed to some of the point and click games where you cant see certain items unless you get on some weird angle. hopefully the production company(pod digital) will make more games of this variety.
I can't find the wallet....Help
Don't know if it's just me or not but I can't seem to find the remote.

jimbo - agreed.
Kevin - wallet:


JJ - you cannot rely on items being where others say they are because the game moves them around each time you play.
Thanks Jay, had finally found it. Love the site, dig the escape the room puzzles.
Cheers, JJ. I do too when they are well done as this one is. ;)
i cant find the power cable or magnet
I am trying to play but it says I need the latest flash player. Well whenever I go to download it, it instantly says I have it. So why can't I play it?
Woohoo. I beat it without any help. My time was 24:39. Not the best time in the world, but hey... No help. Oh yeah!
As far as filling in the top middle spot, that's for the phone, which I found the first time that I tried to play. The phone just tells you

Finished, But my time was not good - 50 min. I tried to see the trailer twice and it took so long to download that I would leave it, but in the meantime my time was counting down. Recommend that you avoid the trailer until you have finished the game or it spoils your time.
i can't find the battery...
Wow, first time I ever finished a point & click without help.. and in 15 minutes too..
I like that in this game, most things make sense. No illogical combinations like you see in some.
Great find Jay!
There are a few bugs here.
One is that the remote car always fails to get the key, and another is that almost everytime you play the game, either the phone or the remote control cannot be found.
This only seems to occur by chance when you first open the game.
> the remote car always fails to get the key
The remote controlled car found the key for me when I played.
If you use the magnet to scramble the camera, you must reattach it to the car before you can pick stuff up with it.
Hi to Jay and all of your contributing community. I must be an idiot, but I've started this one over a number of times and no matter what I do, I've never found the power cord. Some stuff is always in the same place (keys, number pad, wallet, paper scraps) others pop up in different spots, but am i missing one entirely? I look in the desk drawers, the cabinet by the TV monitor, under the pillows and book on the couchside table. I never find a power cord. What am I missing. It's driving me nuts for what otherwise was a very straight forward experience. Thanks in advance,
-Andy
Hi Andy
Power cord:

Jay,
ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.....thank you, thank you for the personal attention. I can tell you knew my frustration. Now I can go back to work which is what I was avoiding by checking out the latest posts on your extensive site.
By the way, although I love Tonypa's games, I guess he's just too young to remember Joust and Robotron and the plink of quarters from the allowance going into afterschool enjoyment.
I'm loving your OC hobby out here in sunny california,
Andy
i can't get the power for the laptop. please advice
first time spoiler, so I hope this works. this got me confused.

Hope it helps.
Game play was pretty simple need a spoiler let me know. Love the point and click games. Hope to see more of these.
I managed to get the desk open yesterday and cant seem to remember how I did it. Any help?
right i cant remember what goes where but what i can tell you is that there is something in the flower pot, in the bottom drawer of where the t.v stands, on the coffee table (if you move the paper around), under the sofa, in nearly every draw of the desk, uuuum, check under every pillow and in the vase and in the bin uuuuuuum that is all i can remember :p sry !! cya xx
By the way, I see references to a remote control or phone... It's neither...


Allthough there seems to be a remote control next to the TV set but you can't use that, nor do you need it.
I am having so much trouble. What's the username and password for the laptop? Help?
yay! i got it! 20 minutes or so haha-_-"
tunny!


ok Ive got every thing. but something must be wrong the characters name does not work for me!!!!!!!!!!!
agh am i blind? What security camera? :( I've done everything, but apparently there is a camera somewhere... Who can tell me?
What am I doing wrong?
I can't get the right code for the final door. I don't have anything with 6 digits...only 5 from the security code. Help please.
katie -


Less than ten minutes to complete this.
Woefully simple.
Hey Tsuken


I am still lost. I am stuck at the laptop. PLEASE help!
what is the password to the laptop?
Laptop:



i can't find the battery
How do you get the car?
To get batteries=

Where do you find the camera, i know its gotta do something with the magnet but what?!?!?
i can't find the camera or

I enjoyed this one - I usually have to resort to spoilers (thankyouthankyouthankyou jayis contributors!) when playing games of the pointy-clicky type, but this had just enough difficulty to keep me interested, without anything so annoying or frustrating as a 1 or 2 pixel sized trigger.
Logical and fun. It definitely makes me hope for more (longer) adventures from the developers.
anyone write a walkthrough for it yet? i would like to read it :)
i need 2 more items,
i got the both codes, cable, battery, remote control, magnet, book, i.d card, 1 key, (other key i cant get to but its under sofa)and a mobile fone.
some help cos this is drivin me insane, im guna commit adultry if i dont do this
help wanted
hey, anyone know the user / pass for the laptop
i have organised the paper scraps to get the number, but also the keypad is claiming it needs power, any ideas?
Please help me! I don't know how to get the radio :-(
xxx

how do you put power to the keypad?
where is the battery?
Simple enough, I'm going to give all you trouble-maker's out there bothering old Jay here while he's working a complete spoiler. Ready?

Your welcome for all of you that I helped, and if I didn't, go ask Jay for his advice, but please, try not to bother him too much! He's very busy making new games and keeping this site up to date!
i can't get out! i've found all of the items and done everything in that walkthrough, but it still wont let me near the door.
Ok, look, I just found a flaw. Everything is random for each game. So, if you can't find anything in my walkthrough. Search another place. (Another pillow, that glass cabinet by the TV, drawers, vases, anything!) I followed my own walkthrough the first time I wrote it and got out but now it isn't working for me either. Also, make sure you click, drag, and HOLD things while moving them. If there is something to be achieved, you will get it in about 2 seconds. Sorry guys! And thanks Jay! I discovered the best game here last night! Try searching for this one folks: Stick Arena. The best in the decade! You can battle other people from around the world, as sticks! Shotgun, pistol, baseball bat, sword, rifle, hammer, it's got it all! Go play guys! Thanks!
ummm i have everything but i guess the mobile phone and i cant figure out how to get it some one pleeeaaaasee help!!!
haha.. i beat it in 5 minutes with no help!!! i'm a point-&-click genius! :)
i need to no how to get the key under the couch can u help me
I can't figure out how to get the usernaem and password and i think i did something wrong. Can you give me a walkthrough on it? please I would really appreciate it.
Solved with advice from above. I've listed a couple of issues (that didn't seem at all obvious to me) in case there are others stuck in a similar manner:
1) For some reason,

So actually, the most important thing I learned from the hints above was that the object locations reset whenever you play. I restarted the game and this time found everything without any trouble.
2) Also, it seemed to be impossible to

3) Finally, I thought I was clicking everywhere, but never did see (or even guess at the existence of)

Apart from these three (rather obscure) issues I thought that the game was neat and polished.
this game is really annoying im stook on the last bit the code for the door any help?
this is a really great game very fun
btw if anyone is having trouble with the final door code

hope that helps ^__^
its a fun game but you have to click the very right places to see what's there and advance in the game, for example you have to click only the table corner to see what there is and nothing happens if you click anywhere else on the table.
what is the username?
This game was realy good, much better than the other room escape type games ive played, has anyone played crimson or viridian room? if not, why not, GO PLAY!!
Hmmmmm,
The only thing I don't get is how to use the code with the door??? any ideas?

I liked this one! About 10 minutes into the game, I accidentally hit the back button and reset it. So I tried to re-do everything I had already done, but couldn't find the remote or phone anymore! I finally realized that their location was randomized, but it took a while to find them. So if you're having the same trouble,

i cant get near the door!!!!! i have got the password ive got everything but the phone ive click every inch of the room! i cant click on the big plant pot mind all it says is that the plant needs light and that it hasnt bn watered in a while
where so far has the phone bn found? perhaps they change but there are only a few places it gets put? just an idea its buggin me now that i cant get to the door
help anyone? smileXXX
yea.....uh well i'm pretty sure that..........ooohhhh, if u don't want the whole puzzle answer don't read.........if u just get the cord under the TV in a drawer, u can get on the comp. and type the name from the ID and the number from the paper then get the number pad........youre done!
ha ha 10:34 i rule lol joke but i did do it in 10 mins 34
gooney
the username is


I did it! haha finished in 34 minutes... not bad... i kept cliking and then i found the camera behind the plant...
GAH! This game is pretty easy, and I like the re-randomization of the item locations, but I was frustrated by

Also, keep in mind that the computer password changes for every new use, so don't pay any mind to people here telling you what it is!
I love room excape games ^_^ this one is by far one of my favourites

WALKTHROUGH:

So easy game 10 min. or 15. min without help
it looks like's i'm better ^-^
how do i get everything?
holy cow i won it took me 31 minutes!
im so proud of myself!!!
even though i tried to use jeeves for a walkthrough!


okay hint for the code to get out, when does the movie come out or rather came out?
for those who are having trouble finding ther camera (you need to befopre you can approach the door)

i beat it in 10 mins hahahahaha
Well that is more complicated than some point and clicks!!!!

In all fairness they made it easy to use items and combine them etc. but i feel that the colour and certain hidding issues were a bit mush and good game all the same and it prevented me from getting bored for around 15-20 mins.
"COMBEN"
Info: I couldnt find the mobile phone but i was able to escape. Just thought it might come in handy for those who couldnt find it like i did.
i did it in ten minutes and twenty three seconds!!!!!!!
no help never played before and i got every item
Look at the room where the plant is in the left-hand corner; there should also be a speaker and a pot.
at the Very top-right corner, there is a foggy thing (camera) and you use the book's very useful information.....
I got everything now what?
i beat it in 18min with your walkthrough thanks

When ever I go to the game website it goes to some search thing. HELP!
The link should be working again now.

nice game took e 15 minutes withought the walkthrough
i can't figure out how to put the keypad next to the door!? it won't go??
passed the game in 17 54 43 15 this game its the best escape game the code for exit is 021006 and for laptop 4419
Darn, I cant find the wallet around the coffee table... Where exactly is it?
How Do You Get The Remote i cliked on every pillow but nothing works somebody help me
to get battery

heres the spoiler

click on vase get key
click under the tv on cabinets to getpower cord
use key on drawers next to computer check all
examine radio rotate until u see back and get batteries
use batteries on control car
use magnet on control car
look on the coffee table and move posters till you get wallet
examine wallet and get name "Jack stanfield
use power cord on computer
login with username: Jack stanfield Get escape code
click on the soil of plant to get remote note: u must be on the view of the little locked box and painting
use car next to the escape door then use remote straight after
click on the carpet where the car drove past to get key
use key on little locked box to get keypad
go to the security camera note: it is located in the corner on the view wer the case is
click on the camera and use magnet on it
go and click on the door then use keypad
type in escape code u retrieved from computer
and your out
Why do people think that playing a game where a "quest" is to find a power cord has something to do with adventure?
I believe the link is broken. At least it is for me (using latest Firefox, don't know the version number).
it took me 14 mins with the walktrough
19 mins 10. i spent ten minutes on that stupid game on the laptop. i hate them type of games. the ball wouldnt hit the top right block. arrrgggghhh
Thanks guys, I tried at the laptop to enable the power, and finally got out.
