So you have Harry Potter, see? Only, ok, make him shorter. And plumper. And with a bowlcut reminiscent of Javier Bardem's Oscar-winning performance in "No Country For Old Men." This is Tom "Tucker" Crubucker, and he's a student at Hogwarts—er, Zibward Wizard School, sorry—and he needs your help. You see, he's about to take his final exam, and it's his last chance to earn his wizarding diploma. But poor Tom is so nervous and so clumsy that he accidentally trips and bangs his head against a table—and when he wakes up he's in a locked room full of magical objects and enigmatic puzzles! Good thing he has an army of veteran point-and-clickers to help him out, eh?
The Final Spell is not the most polished room escape game I've ever seen, nor is it the prettiest or most ingenious. It is, however, undeniably charming and completely good-humored. The format of the game will be familiar to anyone who has played a few of the kabillion examples of the point-and-click genre: collect objects, combine objects, use objects in more-or-less logical ways with the rest of the room, etc. No pixel-hunting, though, hallelujah! The puzzles are fairly easy and intuitive, and it probably won't take you more than 10 minutes or so to complete the game. What makes The Final Spell fun is its sense of humor, provided mainly by the many pamphlets and books scattered around the room, and sheer cuteness; an endearing amateurish sensibility is combined with just enough substance to leave you grinning.
The game does have a few annoyances, most notably that many of the necessary objects in the room are impossible to pick up until one has read the correct book or pamphlet; however, the game is nice enough to tell you that it isn't time yet. Also, near the end players might be stumped by a matter of semantics or, as I like to call it, "I have the answer but the &$! game isn't recognizing it" syndrome. Still, taken for what it is—a quirky, fun little adventure, perfect for a coffee break—The Final Spell does not disappoint. If the Submachine series is a marathon workout, think of The Final Spell as light calisthenics.

Stuck at the end with evil eye and glowing orb
don't forget the "!" ....
How do you finish it ? Stuck with blue bead and glowing orb. What next ?
Not being able to click on various items really takes away from any connection with the story one might have. These designers should have spent a bit less time on self-aggrandizement and a bit more on designing a good game. Poor.
Solution: remember, they SHOUTED out something.
Very easy, short game.
Guys, don't forget spoiler tags.
Cute! Unfortunately, I needed the hint--thanks tim! I swore I had it...but not. Exactly what the review said. The nice thing is that, except for that, the game provides just the right hints, and I thought everything was logical. Finally! I get frustrated with the games that aren't.
Thanks for the nice little time waster!
Quite poor. No depth at all. Really 2nd class if you compare to the likes of gotmail. Too much story and not enough game. Why is this in here? JIG is normally better than this.
>:( Where's the third darn feather? And what the heck is 'Late For Date'?
...nevermind.
It was rather easy, and everything was logical. I really liked this one!
Okay, this is ridiculous.

I'm stuck
I have:

And I did:

Ah...turned out that my keyboard is running out of batteries (I have a cordless), so when I

Stupid keyboard1

It is betray!
Really cute game, I liked it^^~ Reading the comments, I noticed that the password to get out is different everytime... Just a heads up for people wondering why other people's passwords are not working for them...
This was an okay game. I'm not terribly impressed though. It could have been more obvious about the password. It really would have made more sense if they would have

but not too bad overall. It is a short, quick game. Some of the info in the books is a bit witty.
I am not sure why everyone is saying the password is

However that did not work for me, for me

Nice little one.
No offense meant but it was nice to break away a little from the Japanese mind in point and clickers.
It was very easy but, I guess it was what the creator(s) intended it to be.
I'll sure knock the score upwards.
For password it seems to be different for everyone. Mine was

I love this. I really, really hate sitting at an escape-the-room pixelhunting or frantically rubbing every object on everything else to find the secret illogical combination: everything here was clearly laid out and either entirely logical or hinted at, although it was annoying to have arbitrary restrictions on collecting the cards.
I would actually call this a very paragon of escape games.
ok, I played the game 2 times and both times the word dint work for me, someone help...............thanx
whut evil eye?
the password is hey! in lowercase
if you click the screwdriver in the trash, he says he can play late for date. I think it might be a hint for another game called late for date by the same company.
Lizard - Thanks for your walkthrough.

hi all, no point in saying what the password is, as it's different every time you play, mine was c'moon!, some people have gray! etc etc




I hated that game.
The characters stubbornness to not take a bead until I had read a bloody book was extremely frustrating.
I expected better.
Bit silly, very easy, and the whole not picking things up until you knew you needed them was either slightly refreshing, or just really annoying... can't decide. Still it wasted a few minutes of my life, so can't complain.
you have to press "enter" when you're through typing. it took me forever to realize this and when I did I was like "duh!" we can't all be winners.lol.
sadly the

gahh i cant put the cards on the wall
You must press enter after you typed your password
the password is not gray or pay or eLay but
