Hmmm. Occasionally, a game on this website comes up in a window in which the game doesn't fit in the usual Flash frame. This is one of those games. The right and bottom of the game is beyond the visible area of the frame.
Expanding the page using ctrl+ makes the whole page larger, but doesn't alter the amount of the game that's visible in the frame.
Anyone encounter a similar phenomenon? If so, how do you fix it? I'm using Firefox, if that's any help.
Hmmm, I didn't have that issue. Then again, I'm using Chrome.
This game was a little easier to play than the usual Carmel Games offering. I don't mind having to combine weird items together, but get frustrated if I'm pixel-hunting for the perfect hotspot to reach something (or when the hotspot is too close to the interaction spot for a long dialogue).
I'm kind of disappointed that
you didn't get to ride the mine cart/move further into the crystal mine.
Or that you couldn't defrost the king directly by dragon
But that's just me waiting for another Detarou escape, I guess.
Sometimes when my game doesn't fit in the window, it's because I've changed the zoom on the browser to something other than 100%. Changing it back usually fixes the problem for me.

Read the note she gives you. You’ll see that each mushroom has a different number of white spots. This is the key to opening the chest at the magical pond, so head there now.
Magical Pond
The trick to figuring out the combination is in the notes. Take the number of spots on the red mushroom and subtract it from the amount on the green mushroom for each Roman numeral.
I – 6-4=2
II – 7-3=4
III – 5-4=1
IV – 5-4=1
V – 6-3=3
So, the combination is 24113. Enter this and click the lock to open the chest and get a wand.
Go to Secret Nightowl's evil lair.
