Escape 9000: JayIsGames Office

if you click on the cabinet right of the door you'll find a remote of sorts in the drawer. If you click this you'll find it needs an input of 1 letter, 1 number and 1 sign. Look around the room to look for any of these 3.
the location for the letter:

the location for the number:

the location for the sign:

you finished the first level!

you find yourself in a renaissance painting. whait, what?.... nevermind.... only one thing to click here: the square at the left wall. It looks to be a magic square in wich the sum of the numbers in the rows, colloms and diagonal rows need to be the same number. But don't be fooled for it is a magic square :P.
solve it and exit

this level sucks....
click on the lamp to turn it on.
as you turn it on you'll notice something has changed. click on it.

use the item on the door (just click the door)
the lamp will turn of again repeat this serveral times until the door opens.
time 2:

time 3:

timer 4:

you now finished level 3!

just click the top bar of the door a few times. that'll knock the door straight out!

time to calculate! but what to do the figures represent?
Look at the lay-out of the input part (left part) doesn't the same lay-out sit in your pocket (I'm a magician, how did it get there? :P).
Only the final answer needs to be given.

click the central brownish cupcakes to exit

the key to the end door is inside that bag! but it's tied shut! in the bottom right hand corner is a map of the dungeon. use it to your advantage. You'll need to destroy the bag in order to escape.

first click right or left (direction doesn't matter as long as you write it all down). then click on the paintings/pictures so that numbers in colours appear. looks alot like vector notations doesn't it? Write them down and continue to the next screen. repeat this until you return to the first screen. Now click on the catbasket. DO CLICK THE BUTTON. now go right (or left)and click on the boxes that are pointed to in the clues. 3 letters should appear. These need to be filled in in the door.

look at the pictures, they're taken with little light so it's a bit hard to recognise the image. after you've seen it click on the next number so that you get the next picture etc... once done click on 5 and get ready to play a match of recognise the image. click the images you've seen in the same order and leave through 6.

first things first; light the torch it's awfully dark in here.
next lets see if we can get this door out of our way. those hinges look worn. get rid of them. Notice that the left one has a input for some sort of code. As a physicist I also noticed that the input reads lux. thats funny you've just lighted a torch.

you may now exit

3/4 cup butter, softened
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla (or flavoring of choice)
1 1/4 cups milk

Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
Allow butter, milk and eggs to reach room temperature. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt until well distributed. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whip butter with an electric mixer on high speed for 30 seconds. Continue beating at medium speed, pouring in sugar about 1/4 cup at a time, until creamy. Beat for 2 minutes more.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each, keeping the consistency smooth. Beat in vanilla.

Slowly blend in flour mixture and milk to butter mixture, alternating between each, starting and ending with floor mixture. Mix on low speed after each addition just until lightly combined.

Line two dozen cupcake pans with baking cups. Pour batter evenly into baking cups. Bake at 350° F oven for 25 minutes. Poke a toothpick into the center of a cupcake to check doneness; it will come out clean when cupcakes are ready. Tops will be a light golden color. Allow to rest 5 minutes then remove from pans onto cooling rack. Wait until cool to the touch before frosting.

1. Here you are in the JayIsGames Office, locked up. Look around the room and take note of its features...plant, light, etc.

2. Click on the desk to zoom in and open its drawer, observing the things you see in this view as well.

3. Pick up the DEVICE from inside the drawer.

• You need to enter the correct code and press the red button to unlock the door.

HINT:

Are there things around the room that resemble or connote the numbers, letters and symbols on this device?

SOLUTION:

"C" on the report card, a "1" shaped lamp, and "+" from the plant....

C 1 +

• When done correctly, you should hear a door unlock sound and a "!" will appear over the red button.

4. Back up and go through the now open doorway.

1. You're stuck in a scene quite similar to something out of Diego Velazquez's mind, and there are a few other familiar sights here as well. Take some time to admire all the artwork here then you can get to work on escaping.

2. Now, click on the grid on the left side of the screen...

• You need to solve the magic square.

HINTS:

Note the markings on the top of the square.

Click the spaces until the numbers in every row/column add up to 15.

SOLUTION:

The final sequence is 4-9-2 on top, 3-5-7 in the middle, and 8-1-6 on bottom.

• You'll hear the click of the door unlocking when it's correct.

3. Back up and head out the open door in the back of the "Las Meninas" scene, where Jose Nieto stands in the doorway, waiting.

• Eh hmm. Anyhow...

4. No one is in the doorway now, so go through again to exit this scene.

1. It's kind of dark in here. There's a lamp on the right side of the room. Flip it on.

2. Have you ever asked yourself, "Why use a key? Let's just take this monkey flippin' door down!" There's more than one way to exit a room after all. So let's search around the room for the escaper's best friend: the screwdriver!

3. But, before we get to that, do you notice something odd about the fringe on that rug?

• Get the 1st SCREWDRIVER from the right edge of the rug.

• Then, use it on the hinge of the door.

• The lights have gone out. Turn them back on.

4. There's always time to stop and smell the roses.

• Get the 2nd SCREWDRIVER from between the two orange flowers.

• Use it on the door hinge again.

• Turn the lights back on again.

5. Wonder what's in the JIG filing cabinet...

• To open the filing cabinet, you'll need to jiggle it a few times (it's so full, it won't slide open easily).

• Once it's open, do you see the tiny yellow screwdriver on this issue of JIG Daily? Get the 3rd SCREWDRIVER.

• Use the third screwdriver on the door hinge, then turn the lights back on.

6. Some people's trash are other people's priceless vase.

• Click on the trashcan. Something pops out of it and lands on the blue vase.

• Get the 4th SCREWDRIVER off the blue vase.

• Use it to remove the final bolt off the door.

7. Step outside through the open doorway.

1. Here's a shabby chic door (I think I saw it in last month's Restoration Hardware catalogue) in a rather grungy dark corner? Coolness! Someone left their journal behind. Let's sneak a peek:

• Sit back, put your feet up, and read the book from cover to cover.

2. Now, are you ready to open the door?

SOLUTION:

As explained on the last page of the journal, just quickly knock 3 times on the top right corner of the door.

(Or twice on the pipes, if the answer is "No.")

3. Go through the open doorway to your moderate safety.

1. If you're still with me now, and not looking through your cupboards for Duncan Hines or Googling the nearest bakery, let's study the design of these tummy taunting cupcakes.

• There is an equation needing to be solved here (Oh Steve. Only you would think math and baked goods belong in the same sentence).

HINT:

A 2-digit number
multiplied by another 2-digit number
licorice stick
blank
minus another 2-digit number
licorice stick
blank

SOLUTION:

The symbols on the left correspond to numbers on a phone....
123
456
789
-0-

So the equation on the right is asking you to solve 84x57-29, which gives you this number: 4 7 5 9

The final sequence is swirl, open triangle, filled square, right angle.

• Click on the symbols in the correct order and your cupcakes will become "UNLOCKED".

2. To leave, after unlocking your cupcakes, just click then center of the screen.

1. Maybe you're wondering what bad thing you did to end up here? Who could say? You're here now, though. You'll notice you have a "control pad" in the lower right corner of the screen. This is how you'll get around this room.

2. Click the spaces on the navigation pad to move through this dungeon maze, using the clues in the scene to help decide which button to click on the control pad.

SOLUTION:

• Start with "fire" (red) by clicking the left side of the control pad.

• Move down to "ice" (light blue) by clicking the bottom of the control pad.

• Go back to fire (red) by clicking the left button.

• Go to the right side, "water" (dark blue) by clicking the button on the right side.

• Go up to "air" (white) by clicking the top button. The bag will be destroyed and you'll see a key.

At any time you get turned around or messed up, click the middle "brown" button to return to the start. The full sequence is left, down, left, right, up.

3. Take the KEY to reach the exit.

4. Click the door to leave.

1. You're inside a quaint, cozy appartment with four walls to explore. Use the arrows on the left and right sides of the screen to navigate around the room.

2. Turn right and click on "Irene" to see a set of coordinates:

Green: (1,6) (3,6) (3,7) (3,8)
Pink: (4,2) (5,4) (6,2) (6,4)
Blue: (7,2) (8,1) (8,5) (9,5)

3. Turn right again. Click on "James the Shy" to see another set of coordinates:

Green: (1,5) (1,7) (3,4) (3,5)
Pink: (4,4) (4,5) (6,3)
Blue: (7,3) (9,3) (10,2) (10,3) (10,5)

4. Another right turn takes you to "Gregor V". Click his portrait for the last set of coordinates:

Green: (1,4) (1,8) (2,6)
Pink: (4,6) (5,2) (5,6) (6,6)
Blue: (7,1) (7,4) (7,5) (9,1) (10, 1)

5. Go back to the front room (turn right) and click on the sleeping cat.

• It will show you a button that says "do not push". Click it.

6. Exit this view and go either left or right to see a dark grid.

• Enter all the coordinates into this grid to reveal the exit code...

7. Go back and examine the front door.

• Click on each window pane to change the letters and enter the 3-letter code.

SOLUTION:

The final code is H S G.

• With the correct code entered, the door opens on its own.

8. Click the opening to exit.

1. At first, all is dark. But you do have your camera...Click the numbers, 1-6, to navigate through each of the scenes.

2. Now, return to scene five, you have a puzzle to solve:

• Click the objects shown in the first four scenes in order.

SOLUTION:

The final solution is 8 9 6 3 or open-handled sauce pan, the lower right clothes hanger, the thin flipflop, and the iron.

• When entered properly, you'll hear the door unlock.

3. Go back to scene 6, click the doorknob and escape!

Unlock this level by completing the other levels.

1. You're facing a sturdy-looking door. There's a torch to the left of it and a panel on the right that's apparently holding the door closed.

2. Click on the right side panel to view a group of runes:

• Select the super secret magical runes to unlock this door.

SOLUTION:

Screenshot: Level 9 Runes
Click the L-shaped rune on the bottom left, the center rune, and the rune on the top right that resembles an X.

3. Click the down arrow on the left side of the screen to return to the normal view and exit through the now open door.
