Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst

I'm stuck on the second door...

...that's the one with the doll in the bath, the Bunsen burner. etc. I have: * opened the bottle * poured the liquid out of the bottle * made the doll drop the duck (I'm not sure why I need to do this, if at all) * set the dial to the time given on the wall but the car doesn't light the Bunsen burner yet. What else do I need to do? Inflating the balloon doesn't seem to do anything, and the scissors just wobble if I click on them.

Thanks.

HELP!! I am on the first door that needs to be unlocked and I don't have a clue

Having trouble with the door with the flies. How do I get the nickle? Have tried everything. It's making me crazy. Ok, obviously not everything, but everything I could think of! Help!

Help. Stuck on the door where you need to put the flies in the circuit. Stuck after that.

does anyone know how to find a walkthru for ravenhearst? Please help me :]

Hi there...
I have also a problem with the last door. Has anyone a clue? Thanks a lot...

I have the game Mystery Case Files: Ravenhearst and I love it. However, I am stumped on one of the puzzle scenes and I haven't been able to break it. It is the one with all the clocks and you have to match the time in order for the slide boxes below opens up to insert the opposite sign in it. I am stuck at the last clock where you have the left hand and the number 5 over the keypad. I have tried everything that I can think of to unlock this and haven't been able to. Do you have any clues to help me out?

Can somebody tell me how to get to the cellar once I have found the seven skeleton keys please?

I'm having the same problem, Chris. I've collected all 7 keys and when I go back to the map to go to the cellar, the "basement" tab is greyed out so I can't get in. Either there's some glitch, or there's something that I've missed. I even got 3 extra keys because those rooms were still "lit up," yet I still can't access the cellar :( Any help?

Thanks.

I cannot get past the lock where you have to light all the lights on the board. Anyone know how to do it?

I cannot solve the puzzle to open the workshop door. Anyone have any helpful hints?

I'm having the same problem like Chris and Sebby. I've also collected all 7 keys and when I go back to the map to go to the cellar, the "basement" tab is greyed out so I can't get in. Either there's some glitch, or there's something that I've missed. I also got 3 extra keys because those rooms were still "lit up," yet I still can't access the cellar :( Any help?

Thanks.

me too, I have all the keys but didnt the diary say something about bricks? I still cant find a way to the celler Help please.

I had a great time with this game. I was able to solve the various puzzles to get the doors open. I found the items. I got through all of it and then collected all 7 keys. I was able to go to the cellar. I have matched up the 7 keys with the symbols on each of the keys to the sybols on each og the locks. Then I have tried several 7 letter words to unlock the door but none are working....I feel really stupid. Where am I going wrong? Any hints? Thanks.

aimee,

On the bottom of the "lock" there is a dial which you can spin, which turns on letters for each circle. After placing all the keys and seeing all the letters, just make the word the letters spell out.

The word is ENDLESS.

I am stuck...spent three days trying to figure this out...I can't go to sleep...it's bothering me so much...

I am stuck on the puzzle where you get three drop downs and you have to match the items that are randomly spun into the boxes and in order. No problem there. The next step is where I'm lost. The "hint" shows a turtle and the empty box. I've tried dragging the turtle to the box, with no luck. In fact, I've tried dragging EVERY item from the boxes into the boxes at the bottom. What am I missing?

If anyone can help, I'd surely appreciate it. Thank you, Morrigan

Hey,
I'm in need of some serious help here. My sanity is at stake.
I'm stuck on the stage with the chicken and the chicken eggs. I have 3 eggs and have matched the patterns in the bit with the lever, but it won't unlock the door. Any hints on what I do next?
Thanks, Steph

to unlock the door with the chicken and eggs:
1) click the toaster: the toasted bread will display
3 1/2".

2)position the pointer in the ruler at 3 1/2 in. click the button.

3) follow the recipes(spade, diamond, moon). located at the lower middle and lower left of the screen for the chicken feed.

4) shot the apple with the gun.

5) type the code in the typewriter.

6) make the recipe then kick the chicken. there should be an egg if the recipe is correct.

7) put the battery in the lower right slot for the lever.

9) use the gauge to enter the color of the 4 eggs respectively.

10) pull the lever.

If you've found all 7 keys and can't gain entry to
the basement...

Just let the time pass! when it's done you will be
rewarded 50 extra minutes to try and find the keys.

DO NOT GO TO BASEMENT LEVEL WITHOUT THEM!

I found the last puzzle to be the easiest for some reason and here is a hint: the tops of the keys and the symbols go together. Have fun.

i am having trouble getting past guest bathroom on the 2nd floor when i played it before i bought the game i was able to get it but have forgotten what idid to make it work thank you

Need help with the light game; have all lit but one then stuck.

Help,
I also can't get through the clocks room. I made it through to the end, only to try starting over an am at the clocks again - never to go any further without help. HELP?!

How did it end? I played the hour-long demo and I'm too cheap to buy the full version, and I was just curious as to how the story ended. :)

Please help with the finding of the keys, i have all but two and its killing me!! If you could just tell me what rooms maybe that would help a lot! Thanx!!

hey forget about my past post I got them all, but I have to say I thought the ending was kinda dull, but hey thats just me!!

for those who can't get pass the 7 keys puzzle...
find the 7 keys in any floor except the basement...
why? because if all the keys in a certain floor was found, the tab for that floor turns gray... since there are more than 7 keys in the manor, find the keys elsewhere before going to the basement...
make sure that you have seven keys... it's just a minor bug in the game...
hope it helps...

I am stuck on the puzzle where you put the fish in the meat grinder. I've clicked everything and nothing helps. The snake does nothing, and the ballerina dolls just wiggle when you click them. How do I solve this puzzle?

I am at the tic tac toe door with the fish in the grinder etc. I know that I am supposed to play tic tac toe, but I can't. Do I have a game glitch or am I missing something here?? I already have the fish in the grinder and the fortune teller exposed. Please help!

I'm also having trouble with the Tic Toe Game. I have went in/out of the game to see if I'm doing something wrong? For all you who are looking for a

You can find a walk through at Gamezebo. Although word of advice, you don't want to print unless you want an addition 50 pages along with it!

if you have found all the 7 keys and you have problems with the necklace that's the solution: all the keys are on some nails.....you take each one of them and put it in that thind that is above the necklace...and you'll see that for every key it will be shown a letter....than you combine the letters....and you find the word....i played the game twice and i found the words "beloved" and "forever"

you have to drag the keys into the thing above the necklace. then you'll see a letter. thats the letter you have to fill in.

this is my first experience of playing a game of any kind and I hate violence so this mystery is perfect. because of my inexperence and lack of rules I am stuck on the page with the fisherman, fish and cat skeleton. the clue says play tic tac toe...but how. Help anybody! maybe after i figure out how this puzzle works, i can continue. thanks. WDEE

WDEE
Are you familiar with tic tac toe, a.k.a. noughts and crosses? You are X and you have to get 3 X's in a row before O does. Once you beat it, something else will happen.

Hi I am having a lot of trouble figuring out the tic tac toe level as well, does anyone have an idea on how to solve it? thanks Carol

jan.jan--thanks for the help but i stillcanot write an x. am i supposed to find one in the room and drag it or what? WDEE

WDEE
You only need to click on an available space and an X should appear.

jan-jan--you are very helpful. Another question, my husband and i ,working together, have managed to avoid every hard puzzle by choosing another room. we are about to run out of rooms. is there something major(or simple) that i need to know...am still paddling blind WDEE

WDEE
Its good to see that you are still plugging away. If you've already figured out some of these bizarre locks you will know that some of the things included in the lock screens are complete red herrings i.e. just included for the fun of it, and others are part of the puzzle, however seemingly impossible when you start each one. You will have to unlock every one sooner or later. I can help you with more specifics, if you like, as you get to each one.

You also might like to get yourself a TypeKey. With that your comments will be posted much quicker :D

What is a walkthrough? WDEE

i don't know what to do with the seven keys..
any help??

George
Are you up to the part where you have collected the seven keys and are attempting to open the cellar door?

Drag each key onto the thing at the top-middle. A letter will show up. Go to the part of the chain (?) that that key matches up with e.g. if the key has a sun on the top of it, go to the part of the chain that has a sun above it, and click on its button. Use the little lever thingie at the bottom to change that letter to the one that you got before. Do that with the six others.

i played the game for seven hours straight and I realized i have just been playing it because of the story. What is the ending? i was only able to get 20 diary entries.

PLS TELL ME THE ENDING! thank you..

Just wanted to thank RJ for the wonderful clue on solving the last puzzle. Thanks so much.

can't get the chicken lock on guest quaters

kim
Have you made 3 eggs?

got that door stuck on the gorilla

hey everybody just a quick heads up, i have beat all three mystery case files game and waiting on the fourth...but if you absolutely need a walkthrough just google mystery case files ravenhearst walkthrough and it should pop up with one by gameboomers...good luck

I am stuck at the last room whith all the keys in the cellar, mystery case files ravenhurst

pls help me, i can't unlock the door with the water and the flowers with pictures dunno what to do

ok about the cellar bug, i found out the basement tab worked randomly.
--> after finding the seventh/tenth key (doesn't really matter if you clicked on the skeleton or the regular key.. both of them works..)let your time run out.
i tried like 6 times and looked for the keys again, after that the basement tab finally worked.
i got inside the cellar and did manage to solve the puzzle. my word was REVERED.
after long frustrating hours, i finally finished the game at 7:38:40. i thought i never finished it. phew.. thank god!!!
it was really a nice game. had exercise my eyes for a bit. but over all, i'm just disappointed about the the basement glitch. that drove me insane! i'm soo glad i did not pay for this. got the game for free (full version+cracked).
anyway, am looking forward for the next MCF version. i'm hoping i would not encounter anymore bugs and glitches.. seriously, big fish should test out their games before releasing it.

btw, thanks a bunch for the walkthroughs!

I am on the guest bathroom. I have looked up the walkthrough information for this and it has not helped. I get to the part where you are supposed to just click on the box and an x will fill in. I have tried making an x with the mouse and double clicking. What else do you need to do in order to have the x show up? HELP!!!

Hi, I don't mind about all the puzzles and things, can anyone just tell me how the diary ends? that's the reason I was playing..

For those wondering about the last entry and the story:

Entry:

The woman is writing in her diary while the maid is packing her bags and they're preparing to flee. However, they don't get that far... The entry ends mid-sentence, with the picture strongly implying the man killed her with an axe.

After finding the last clues, she appears as a ghost to ask you to free her spirit. By solving the last puzzle you succeed, and she happily returns home.

Has anyone had any technical glitches with this game? I get weird graphic screw ups frequently, and then the first time I click on a hidden item in the game it crashes. It crashes so badly I have to reboot the computer.

I've not had nor heard of that problem, fnord3125.

You might try looking up the drivers for your video card and update them if possible.

Also, you might try updating the DirectX drivers, too.

Well I updated my video card drivers and DirectX and I'm still having the same problem. I wasn't really finding anything on the Big Fish support website, so I guess I'll have to try emailing them. I guess I should have downloaded the game as a demo first even with the awesome sale! :)

If you find all 7 keys, then you will have to wait for the time to run out. Once it does, you will go back into finding the keys and the basement tab will no longer be greyed out.
The 7 letter word depends on which 7 keys you collected. Simply match the key to the symbol on the door. Drag the key to the box and it will tell you what letter goes in the box. Put that key back and grab another, keep doing this until you have all 7 letters.

How do you get into the dining room? I have played this game lots of times clear to the end but have not been able to get into the dining room.

HELP!! I have guessed the 3,4 and 5 boxes correctly but can't figure hout what to do with the one with the sheep, dog, turtle, bird and snake. Can anyone help me??? Thanks in advance Diana

I am stuck on what to do with the pieces at the Crime Computer. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey i don't see where anyone answered chases's question on 5/21/07, how do you get thru the locked door where you make all the lights light up?

I love this game. Having trouble with the last seven keys. I will be old when I finish this game.

Thanks

ok i have 10 keys and the basement STILL isn't lit up what do I do

I'm having the same problem, Chris. I've collected all 7 keys and when I go back to the map to go to the cellar, the "basement" tab is greyed out so I can't get in. Either there's some glitch, or there's something that I've missed. I even got 3 extra keys because those rooms were still "lit up," yet I still can't access the cellar :( Any help?

Thanks.

This is literally driving me insane! I can't seem to get all the light bulbs lit up, as soon as I think I have then I loose it!! I would dearly appreciate any clues/advice/help.

I would really appreciate any advice/help/clues on a particular section of this game that is driving me stark raving mad! I cannot for the life of me get all the lights on the switchboard to light up at the same time!!!!

i just finished the game,took me a while to get the last one with the 7 keys right!!couldnt get the work!!i got beloved danielle

Please, I have read threw all post, but still didn't find help I needed. On the tic-tac-toe puzzle, do you need to get three fish, do you need chalk for the game. I have played all the way through, this is my third time and still can't get the tic tac toe to work.
any clues would be great. I have done everything in all the puzzle, and even click on the board to make the x and o's appear. Thanks, Cajun

Finally!! after 3 times trying and not being able to open the basement..I finished the game. You really have to watch the last few times you collect objects tward the end of the game. Try not to go in the basement. The last puzzle isn't that hard..its getting there.

I have found all 7 keys plus 3 extras, but when I try to get to the basement, it is greyed out, how do I get there to complete the game

Ok here let me help you all at least what i can tell you are all having promblems with

on the clock secret door use the big clock and make that be the time of each clock one at a time this will help you move to the next step, as for the egg door there are 2 clues on the wall 1 that says 1 part this 1 part that and 2 part something else there is one more that say 3 parts one 2 parts one and 2 parts of the last one this will display your two eggs you need . as for the very last door i think the reason it is blacked out on you guys is because you collected more keys then you needed to i only collected the 7 and had no promblem getting back into the cellar the key word i had was cherish good luck

hello,
me again.am stuck on the 7 (10) keys replayed 5 times now .i'm thinking ...ok, just collect skeleton keys, tried that didnt work.basement still greyed out. replayed again, didnt play basement first.

still nothing. i been playing this last level for 2 days now. today replayed 5 times, i am typing now and letting the time run out again for the 6th time, what to do ..this sure is a serious glitch, that really need to be fixed, esp after purchasing and get so far and can't finish mystery.

oh that sux.

what is a typekey, how you get one?

[Edit: You don't need a TypeKey account if you're already registered with us, Casual Gameplay. :) -Jay]

help guys!...i found all the keys on the las puzzle...i dont know where the CELLAR is!!...

in the last stage, what should i do after i have found all the 7 key????plssss i need help,....badly!!!

Here's how you solve the last puzzle

This really is a spoiler and I actually wrote down the password for the last door so if you don't want to solve it yourself, please skip this spoiler You have to get 8 keys so that the cellar would appear in the map. If this doesn't work, just let the time clock end and just repeat finding the 8 (or 7 keys). afterwards, go to the cellar (located at the basement) and click on the highlited door. Supposedly, all you have to do is just click on a symbol (like a heart, or a moon) then put the key at the center and click the button to see the letter that corresponds to that key. Anyway, actually the password is BELOVED. Hope this helps

Everyone, on the last level, once you found all the keys, go the cellar. It's in the basement on the same floor as the control room. A door will appear that wasn't there before. The cellar has a staircase and a bookshelf in it.

If you can't figure out what to do with the keys when you get to the locked door, this is what you do. Notice the symbols by the red (buttons turn green when clicked) buttons. Notice the keys have matching symbols. Take a key and put it on the mini screen between the roses with the loarge green circle under it. It will give you a letter. Go to the button it matches and click on it (til it's green). Go to the dial at the bottom of the screen. Turn it and notice letters pop up by the button you pressed. Choose the letter that was just given to you. Do this to all of the buttons and keys.

The door will open up. Click on the coffin until the lid pops off. Congratulations! Emma's soul is set free and the game is over!

Also, the strategy I used throughout the game is to find as many things as you can in the locked rooms. Then use your hints for the remaining things you can't find. THEN go to the locked door. If you can't figure it out easily, call help. Don't spend forever trying to figure it out.

Got the keys? Here is the solution! Place each key (one at a time) in the area above the green light and it will show you each key's letter of the alphabet! adjust each letter to each symbol and your done! Then release Emma from her coffin... Game over

Judy, if you look carefully at the background you should be able to see some sort of picture, get a piece of the puzzle from the bottom, and match it to the background, (You may have to rotate the piece to make it fit.) Repeat the process until the entry is complete.

I find all the seven keys but i cant go to the cellar,anybody help me.......
