FirewallA 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.

Walkthrough Guide

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?

image
Ok, first of all, follow my lead here.As soon as you start, click and hold the trash can to get paper scraps. Then click examine and put them together to form a code. Now put that aside. Click to move right and click and move the book on the table. You should get it. Now just go right again and click and hold on the pillow on the couch. You should get a remote. Now click on the corner of the coffee table. Move everything around on the table that's clickable and you should get a wallet. Examine and move the wallet around to get the ID card inside. Place that aside again. Get back to the couch and go right. The right again. Click and hold on the vase. You should get a "shiny key". Now go back to the computer desk. Use the "shiny key" on the desk and then look in EVERY SINGLE drawer. You should get a radio, a car, and a magnet. Examine and turn the radio to get a battery. Now use the combine feature. Combine the battery and the car. Now combine the battery-powered car and the magnet to get...a car with a magnet, I guess. Now go to back to the couch and place the car there. now use the remote on it. The car should go under the couch, and come back with an old key. Go to the old wooden chest area now and use the old key there. Open the chest and get a keypad faceplate. Zoom out and then go right once to the vase and look carefully in the upper left-hand corner. You should see a camera. Click on it. Now use your magnet on it. It should block the signal. Now go to the TV and carefully click on the VERY bottom drawer. You should get a power cable. Now go in front of the labtop (I mean DIRECTLY in front of it.) and use the cable. Now go in front of it more. Use the name on the wallet you got for the username and the code you got from the paper scraps. Now do the following things: crack the security power and then play (and win) the game. Get and remember the code from the game and make sure the power is checked green. Now exit from the labtop and go right in front of the door. Use the touchpad there and then type in the code from the game. Congrats, you just won.

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!

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!

WALKTHROUGH:

image
get code from bin, get username from wallet (card), get power cord from couch, use power cord on computer, use username and code on computer to get an Escape Code, search plant pot for remote, search cushions for mobile, search vase for key, use key to open desk drawers (left and right side), get car, magnet and radio, examine radio for battery, combine battery with car, combine magnet with car, face the door and use car to put on floor, use remote to get old key under couch, use old key to open the box and get keypad, use magnet on camera (facing the door in the corner of room), go back to door and use keypad, use pad to type in Escape Code. YOUR OUT!!

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.

image
I've place the car with the battery and the magnet, I go back to the TV and open the cabinet and nothing

jimbo - agreed.

Kevin - wallet:

image
try looking on the coffee table
image
you may have to move things around to find it

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

image
that some items can be used more than once
. The second time I tried to play, instead of the phone, I found the remote control, which hadn't appeared in my first game.

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:

image
have you tried looking in the bottom drawer of the cabinet that the television sits on?

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.

image
the radio control is on the bookcase above the tv

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...

image
It's a keypad which you need to place somewhere else...
image
Next to the door

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!

image
this game is from a movie.. whose name would they want?

image
hehe. if u opened this then obviously my hint wasnt good enough.. . name of main character that harrison ford plays =)

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

image
did you read the book? It teaches you something important though

image

Laptop:

image

Click on the trash can and hold the mouse button down until you get what's inside
image

How do you get the car?

To get batteries=

image
examine the remote control by clicking the arrow and you will get the 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

image
place the keypad next to the door

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

image
I still can't find the remote control for the car. I've read everyone else's spoilers, but I can't find it.

how do you put power to the keypad?

where is the battery?

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.

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,

image
the remote control didn't appear in my inventory - even though I'd clicked on every available cupboard and drawer. I think that this may be a bug in the game.

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
image
click in close to the coffee table. It took a very long time to find out that the only way you can zoom in is by clicking on it's right hand corner (from the screen with the door/exit.) Unfortunately I'd started by trying to click the coffee table from the same screen as the book, but after a minute or so found that there was nothing there and I couldn't get any closer. I then gave up - thinking that it must just be a part of the scenery. At that point it didn't make sense to try to click (the empty corner of) the coffee table again (from the next screen.) So I was stuck forever without the wallet.

3) Finally, I thought I was clicking everywhere, but never did see (or even guess at the existence of)
image
the camera up above the pot plant. I thought the picture on the TV screen was a reflection of the door/exit. It wasn't until I read this forum that I was aware that there was a need to find a camera at all.

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

image
look at the pretty pictures

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?

image
it's doing my head in I've done everything and I'm near the door, I've got the codes done the laptop got all the inventory bits, got the keys. I'm near the door with the code to exit 021006......... where and how do I use this code????? thanks, Sam...

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,

image
try the cabinet, all drawers, behind the pillows, every possible book on the shelves above the t.v., and the planter that holds the tree.
That darn wallet eluded me for far too long, as well! I had the same problem as Nicholas did with the coffee table. Again, thanks for pointing me to the site!

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

image
jack stanfield
and the password is
image
1908

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

image
that damn ID card/wallet! I knew it was around somewhere, but didn't realise that the magazines on the coffee table had to be DRAGGED around! That was the only thing like it on the game, and it took me looking on here to find out that last crucial element.
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

image
Out of boredom I was playing the game on the laptop. ;) try completeing the whole thing, when you have the keypad.

WALKTHROUGH:

image
get code from bin, get username from wallet (card), get power cord from couch, use power cord on computer, use username and code on computer to get an Escape Code, search plant pot for remote, search cushions for mobile, search vase for key, use key to open desk drawers (left and right side), get car, magnet and radio, examine radio for battery, combine battery with car, combine magnet with car, face the door and use car to put on floor, use remote to get old key under couch, use old key to open the box and get keypad, use magnet on camera (facing the door in the corner of room), go back to door and use keypad, use pad to type in Escape Code. YOUR OUT!!

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!

image
that didn't work though

image
haha

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)

image
the camera is on the same section of screen as the vase and plant, just outside the field of clear vision. Look for the fuzzy rectangle in the upper left of the screen

i beat it in 10 mins hahahahaha

Well that is more complicated than some point and clicks!!!!

image
for example my remote contol was not even visible behind the bookcase

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

"This domain name expired on 01/13/07 and is pending renewal or deletion"

When ever I go to the game website it goes to some search thing. HELP!

The link should be working again now.

image
You have to play the game on the laptop and win it to get the code to the door!

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

image
examine radio and turn it

heres the spoiler

image
click on trash can get note
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

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.
