Weekday Escape

JessAh, l'amour. The tingling bubbles in your belly, effervescent like champagne. The delight at the mere thought of seeing your beloved's face, the raw happiness that fills you to near-bursting; nothing, surely, could be more intoxicating than this initial infatuation. Even as the years go by and rapture subsides into loving companionship, it is impossible to forget that early, bright passion.

The Wedding AnniversaryThe Wedding Anniversary, a sweet, compact escape game from Japanese designer Robamimi, takes place on the night of (surprise!) one couple's anniversary. Your rather mischievous spouse has locked you into a bar and hidden away your ring... ok, kind of an odd way to celebrate, but perfect for all the married puzzle-lovers out there, right? Now, you must escape and rejoin your unseen love.

While The Wedding Anniversary is not terribly difficult, it is certainly satisfying; the puzzles you encounter are varied and interesting, and Robamimi has succeeded in avoiding any of the questionable "leaps of logic" that plague the majority of even high-quality escape games. The game is also quite good-looking, with graphics reminiscent of Gotmail's venerable series of escape games; unlike Gotmail, however, Robamimi has chosen not to include much in the way of pixel-hunting (hooray!). The game's interface is clean and friendly and a handy save feature is included. Perfect!

These are all excellent qualities, but what is perhaps most appealing about the game is its cool, easy-going ambiance. A simple piano tune floats through the air, melodious enough to enhance the game's atmosphere without unduly distracting the player; the deserted bar is decorated in a sophisticated and minimalist style. All in all, the game has an air of unhurried relaxation, inviting you to complete the puzzles at your own pace and enjoy the ride along the way.

With just enough challenge to engage, but not overtax, the mind, The Wedding Anniversary is a perfectly mellow respite from the workday world. Relax, kick back and indulge in a bit of sentimentality... it's more fun than a chick flick.

The main screen where you press start says that there is two endings.

Spoiler

I've gotten the ending where you don't use the notepad on one of the black stools.

Anyone got any ideas on the second one?

Hint Through

Spoiler

The first hint:

Spoiler

"How many shapes as red marks are there?"

Well, there seem to be some red marks on that table...

Spoiler

Where do you you see those objects like those red marks?

Spoiler

Behind the bar, how many glasses do you see?

Spoiler

Multiply them together.

12x16x16 = 3072

Now where can we use a four-digit code?

Spoiler

No, not the door yet. Did you look at the cabinets behind the bar?

Spoiler

Look, a gift for you!

The second hint:

Spoiler

"It needs a weight to press the lever down"

What needs a weight? What lever? Look around.

Spoiler

There is a rectangular white machine to the right behind the bar. Check it out.

Spoiler

So what could you use to weight down that lever?

Spoiler

Have you looked in all the cabinets?

Spoiler

Even the bottom one on the far left?

Can't get it open?

Spoiler

Check the drawer above it.

Spoiler

I bet it could open further...

Spoiler

If you clicked where that arrow is pointing.

Got the ice bucket (wine cooler)?

Spoiler

Well, let's use that on the lever!

Spoiler

Hrm. That didn't work. Maybe its bottom is too round. I wonder how we could attatch it to the lever...

Spoiler

Did you open your present?

Spoiler

Use the ribbon from the present on the ice bucket, then use that on the lever.

Did that work?

Spoiler

Nope. Not heavy enough. What could we put in it?

Spoiler

It is an ice bucket... Did you see any ice?

Spoiler

There is a freezer to the left of the door that leads out of the bar area.

Spoiler

Fill the bucket with ice, then use it on the lever.

Okay! Now it looks like we need another four digit number.

The third hint:

Spoiler

"The memo teach a place to look at"

Did you see a memo?

Spoiler

Well, there is a note pad on a bar stool, but I don't see anything on it. Maybe someone wrote something and tore the page off...

Spoiler

We could rub it with a pencil...

Do you have a pencil?

Spoiler

On the other table, with the bears.

But it isn't sharp... What could you use to sharpen it?

Spoiler

Did you look in all the drawers?

Spoiler

Use the knife to sharpen the pencil, then rub it on the memo pad.

But what does the memo mean?

Spoiler

Did you open your present?

Spoiler

Can you find a bridge to look at with your binoculars?

Spoiler

The lower brown bridge you can see through the window.

Figuring out the four digits

Spoiler

"BAMI I B R"? That looks like the name of the bar written on the wall, with some letters missing.

Spoiler

Which letters?

Spoiler

ROMA - what could that mean?

Look at the bottles behind the bar.

Spoiler

Check the date on the bottle from Italy, and use that as the code in the white machine.

The fourth hint:

Spoiler

"An useless item is removed. Is there a leftover?"

Well, what can we use this little bear for? Have you seen a red square somewhere?

Spoiler

Put the red tile on the small case next to the ice freezer.

This seems to imply we nees a green tile

Spoiler

Where might a green tile hide in this room?

Spoiler

Check in the plant by the front door.

and a blue tile.

Spoiler

Well, I can't find it hidden anywhere in the room. Maybe I already have it.

Spoiler

Look again at the present box.

Spoiler

That is a lot of padding... I bet you could hide something under it.

Spoiler

Cut through that white padding with the knife, and take the blue tile.

So now we've got a safe. What could the combination be? Did we see three numbers?

Spoiler

On those tiles?

Spoiler

Click on the right of the dial to get to 30, then the left of the dial to get to 10, then right to 70.

In the safe we have...

Spoiler

A card and a box with a ring... Very important for the wedding, but not to our escape.

But what else is in here?

Spoiler

Did you see the black card on top of the safe?

Spoiler

Okay! So now we've got the ID card for the door. Unfortunately, we still need the passcode.

The fifth hint:

Spoiler

"When you see the black card, cock your head to the left side"

What does that mean?

Spoiler

Well, do it. Look at the inside of the black card, sideways.

Spoiler

The grey lines spell "CUT"

Spoiler

Well, do it! Use the knife on the left side of the card.

The sixth hint (if you need it):

Spoiler

"For example, April Fools Day is 0401"

Spoiler

What date did you see inside the black card?

Spoiler

Feb 11 = 0211, the passcode for the front door.

OPEN!

Thank you always! I never forget this feeling!

The two endings:

Spoiler

One ending is if you don't take the ring with you, the other ending is if you do.

Reply

@Lily
The ending depends on whether you

Spoiler

take the ring or not.The notepad has nothing to do with it. It just tells you where to look with the binoculars.

I really enjoyed this one. Managed to complete it without using spoilers for a change!! Needed a few of the gameplay hints though. It is nice when the puzzles are somewhat logical. Minimum of pixel-hunting. Great job to the inventors.

I'm stuck! Code 1982 seems not work. Someone can help me?

Reply

i tried typing:

Spoiler

1892

as the code for the white code box behind the bar but it wouldn't accept it. Gotmail always gets tricky with me everytime. Anyone know what to do?

Reply

Well, I got out. But I never opened the safe so obviously I didn't really get out. Back to try again.

Reply

Wow. Something is wrong. This is the first time I've ever completed a GOTMAIL game without resorting to the walkthrough. Anyone remember STRAWBERRY TOMATO? Cripes.

Anyway, I finished this one. Yay.

Reply

This isn't a Gotmail game. The review says it is reminiscent of one, though. :)

I found the notepad to be essential. I could not use the binoculars properly before I found the message. Either that or I clicked just wrong.

Well, I made it through the game (by myself, yay! That's a first for me, at least when it comes to these nice looking ones).

Spoiler

But what about the safe?

Reply

about the safe:

Spoiler

the code is 30,10,70 right, left, right

I have tried it the other way but it did not work.

How did people figure out the code for the safe (the one in the white container next to the ice). I tried everything before reading the spoilers here, but no one said how they discovered it.

Reply

Brooke

Spoiler

you need 3 colored tiles for that.

the first one appears in the safe behind the bar. after collecting the ribbon and getting the binoculars,you use the knife on the box and you get your first tile.

the second one appears after you have typed in the code for the second code on the far right bar after putting the cooler with ribbon on the lever,then get a pencil from the far right table,use your knife on it,then go to the pad by the front of the bar and use your pencil on that. then look at the bridge using your binoculars by clicking the top brick then go to the middle of the bridge and click your mouse so you see missing letters. then go back to the far right code box with the wine cooler on it and type 1892 and you get your second.

the third is on the far right of the room outside the bar on the plant.

put all 3 colored tiles where they go and click the handle.

the numbers are on the tiles (green, blue, red) but somehow they don't work for me :)

Reply

Okay, I'm almost done. But the door doesn't open. The code is correct, but the door doesn't move. :( Is it a bug or something? I'm sure I forgot nothing.

Reply

I can't get the wine cooler to hang on the lever!!! How do you do it??

For the safe:

Spoiler

On the table with the bears ad, the three bears each have a hand raised. Which hand, left or right, tells you which way to turn the dial.

Stupid me. I forgot the ring.
"Excuse me, didn't you forget something?"
So I realised that I forgot the ring.

@Chrissyheg,

to open the safe,

Spoiler

the 30, 10, 70 doesn't mean go 30 units left, 10 units right, then 70 units left again.

Spoiler

it means to go to the number 30, then go to the number 10, then go to the number 70.

I thought all the puzzles were pretty logical, but the safe is a pain in the ass. I spend way to long trying to get it open by going
