I suppose I may be at a pixel hunting stage..? I have
a knife, 2 tiles, glasses, and a wind-up key
I didn't like it.
No story, no proper ending, the puzzle with letter didn't make any sense (I used the walkthrough)
.
Finn -
That's not a knife, that's a straight razor. As for being stuck:
Have you tried using the razor on things? Perhaps something in your inventory?
Ah! I feel silly now! But anyway:
Maybe I'm not clicking in the right places? I've already cut open the purple hat, but the razor doesn't seem to work on anything else in my inventory. I now have a piece of paper with a path drawn on it, though.
I had to resort to the video walkthrough for one part:
How did they get the "letter" combination lock from the menu?
Finn -
Okay. In that case:
You might want to take a closer look at the box where you found the glasses. And maybe the paper clue will help with that.
Thanks for the tip!
I've been able to explore and I now have 8/9 tiles, the wind-up key, and glasses. Is it possible to open the four-letter cabinet in the beginning room now?
I've
picked the lock with the hairpin
and am now
wandering aimlessly through the dining room and hallway.
Any hints?
Finn -
If you've:
Read the menu in the dining car, you should have the clue to open the four letter cabinet. Have you used the glasses?

The End! :)
This was a great little escape... thanks for finding it, GrinnyP! I loved the atmosphere and the train provided a more interesting game map instead of the traditional four-walled room. Too bad the graphics were a little fuzzy but aside from that, it really holds it's own... maybe even enough to appear on the best of 2011 list?
Just a warning. If you think you're doing the right thing, you might just be, and need to reload the game. I had to do it with one of the early puzzles because it simply wasn't triggering anything.
Always fun when you're stuck and trying to figure out what to do next, and it turns out what you tried was correct, and the game just bugged out on you.
Elle -
Don't thank me, thank Chiktionary, she found this charming escape.
Finally out! Thanks for the help, grinnyp and elle.
I did use the glasses on the menu, but the clue didn't make sense to me. I'm not sure how one would arrive at that method of getting the code except by trial-and-error...

The Second Stateroom Puzzle Solving (Part 1)
-
You should still be in a close up of the shelf below the window.
-
Notice the box of earl gray tea?
-
Use the straight razor on the box and you will uncover a number.
-
The number looks like 1905, but look closely, if you read it from the other side of the box (turn the box 180 degrees in your mind) it can also read as 5061.

Now that you are facing back the way you came you will see the eighth tile sitting on a table to your right. Take it.
-
Click on the doors to go forward.
-
Go forward once more to the end of the corridor.
-
Click on the stateroom door to your left. This will take you back to the first Stateroom.
The First Stateroom Redux
-
Time to open that four letter coded cabinet.
-
Click on the cabinets on the upper right, then click on the center cabinet to bring up the code lock.
-
The clue for this was found on the menu in the dining car.
-
The menu showed Filet and Gulf Shrimp and the price of 27.45.
-
The code is the 2nd, 7th, 4th, and 5th letters of Filet and Gulf Shrimp, I N E T.
-
After you've entered the code click on the button beneath the letters to open the cabinet.
-
Take the toy train and the ninth (and last) tile.

Back up.
-
Turn right (or left) and go out the door to the corridor.
The Corridor (More Exploration)

You should be facing the dining car at the far end of the corridor.
-
Turn right (or left) to face the other way, and you will be right in front of a door to another car.
-
Click on the door to go through.
-
In front of you is what looks like a poster, but there are hinges on the left and screws holding it down on the right. A wall safe!
-
Turn left.
-
Looks like this might be the door out, but it looks like it needs an oddly shaped key.
-
Turn left.
-
Go through the door back to the main corridor, then click on the dining car doors to move forward.
The Second Stateroom Redux
-
Click on the stateroom door to your right to go back into the second stateroom.
-
Click on that object on the floor to the left, the toy train tracks.
-
Pull up the toy train from your inventory.
-
While the train is in close up click on it to turn it around. Notice the hole in the back wheel when the train is facing left?
-
Place the windup key from the clock into the hole in the wheel. Close down the train.
-
Now use the train on the tracks and it will go forward, opening the doors.
-
Inside the doors is a screwdriver, take it.
-
Back up.

If you are not facing the dining car, turn right (or left) to face the dining car door.
-
Click on the door to enter the dining car.
-
Click on the bar at the back of the car, then click again to go behind the bar.
-
Take your nine tiles and place them on the 3 x 3 grid. Now you have a simple puzzle to complete.
-
Click on two tiles to switch their places. You are trying to create an etching of a train.
-
Once you've solved the train puzzle the cabinet below will unlock.
-
Click on the cabinet to open it and take the tea kettle.
-
Time to make steam!
-
Use the matches on the Bunsen burner on the left of the bar.
-
Once you have a flame put the kettle on the burner and back up.
-
You should be facing back the way you came. Turn right (or left) to face the bar again and notice that the kettle is steaming.
-
Take the kettle, turn around, and go forward to the door to the corridor.
Getting Out
-
You should now be in the corridor facing back towards the first stateroom.
-
Click on the window on the right where you put up the shade (it will be the fourth one on the right, counting from closest to you).
-
Once the window is in close up use the steaming kettle on it to find a code.
-
This looks like a series of large and small dots. Notice the positions of the large dots, from left to right: top of the column, middle of the column, top of the column, bottom of the column, and middle of the column.
-
Back up.
-
Go forward down the corridor then through the doors to the poster (wall safe).
-
Use the screwdriver to remove the screws and open the safe.
-
Now you are faced with a series of five knobs and a button to the far right.
-
Put the knobs into the same position as seen on the window, from left to right: top, middle, top, bottom, middle.
-
Once the knobs are in position click on the button on the right.
-
A panel will open, revealing the weird key.
-
Take the key and turn left.
-
Use the key on the cross-shaped keyhole and you are out!
Congrats Finn! Yes, I did do a lot of trial and error...
That clue sort of threw me, too. I was trying the first letter of the 2nd word...7th word... and so on. When that didn't work, I wasn't sure what that menu was supposed to be a clue for... but "BATH" and other words weren't working, either. I guess that's what comes from reading too much into it. When I got the letters from the menu item name itself, I thought for sure it was an anagram and tried "nite" first.
And thanks to Chiktionary, too.:) Not sure what I'd do without my weekday room escape... I like them because they remind me of the old games like Myst.
Thoroughly annoying that
clicking the brass buttons in the right order
doesn't garner results. -.-
Some way into the game I like it, but cannot help noticing some things that are probably the result of the lack of thoroughness: movement is sometimes confusing; things appear different from different points of view; some hot spots seem rather small. My "favourite" one though is the lock on the wall cabinet in the room:
if you look at it, you see four 0's - meaning you should look for a four digit number code. When you get one, you go back, zoom on it - and it turns out it's a four LETTER code you need there - what was four 0's became four A's in close up...
Hmm....
bio
I'm thoroughly annoyed and disappointed that when I try to solve a puzzle nothing is triggered when I know I'm doing the right thing...
A nice game. A bit flawed, but I didn't need the walkthough much more often than normal 8-).
As far as atmospherics go, a great job recreating the thirties, but posters advertising Bath and Perth suggest we're actually on a UK train...
i did it without any help but it took a while (especially the letter code, but after trying like 10 combinations that would have been as logical as the correct one i finally got it)
and i had quite a hard time to figure out that
you had to use the pin at the keyhole. i just looked for a key
nice game, though. all the other puzzles were relatively easy.
Thanks, GrinnyP!
I thought this was very well designed and I didn't even mind the pixel hunting. However, I thought two of the puzzles were unnecessarily difficult, namely:
the four-letter code on the overhead compartment and the four-number code on the briefcase
I think it would have been a little more straightforward (and consequently more fun) if the answers were
BATH (from the poster) and 2745 (the price of the dinner special).
That was fun and charming. I only needed help to realize I had to turn around from the first screen to get to the next room. :P
Pretty good atmosphere, two thoughts
1. If you include music, please include more than four bars of music.
2. If the cursor doesn't change, then the clickables should stand out in some way. (Clickfest is no fun.)
There's one other thing worth noting before playing . . .
You cannot solve a puzzle without first discovering and thoroughly examining its clue. So, for example, if you never handle and open up the...
slip of paper with the directional arrow clue
... you will never be able to solve the second puzzle in the...
briefcase (which order to press the gold buttons)
No matter how hard you try.
The same hold trues for every puzzle. Not always the case in some room escape games, but I've noticed that many are that way. I kind of like it that way, although there was one game where I'd discovered the answer in game without picking up and opening a clue in my inventory, and it was very frustrating until I figured that part out.
Interestingly, a wrong answer for the four-number-code:
Pressing the buttons 2,7,4 and 5 times respectively spells out "CHEF". It seemed hardly credible as a coincidence, given where the number came from, so I was surprised when it ended up being wrong. (Perhaps the puzzle was going to be even harder at some point, needing to use the word CHEF to arrive at 27.45? (Which would be rather difficult as I imagine most people would come up with 3856 from that). Or maybe just a coincidence.)
Does the sign behind the bar have your home city's name on it... or is it just a coincidence that I live in Perth?

Do I get a cookie?
Akarroa -
One big ole' white chocolate chunk macadamia is on its way!
Parmesian - I don't know if I'd have thought of that at all, so I'm glad it wasn't the answer.... it's clever you noticed that and a also a very weird coincidence.. Numerology is a weird thing. Now that vibe is out there, I wouldn't be surprised to find such a tricky puzzle in the next escape game.
Nice game, but two complaints:
The menu/code puzzle was too difficult in my opinion. Another hint would have made it much easier, maybe underlining 27.45 as well as Filet and Gulf Shrimp, to let us know the two were related. As it was, I tried taking the first letters of the aforementioned menu item, and ended up with a very rude four-letter code.
The box of Earl Gray was a real stretch for me. There was no indication that you were supposed to use the razor on it.
Other than those two issues, the game was really enjoyable.
Not vegetarian friendly...

Notice the box of earl gray tea?
Use the straight razor on the box and you will uncover a number.

Use the glasses on the menu and you will see the dinner special: Filet and Gulf Shrimp for 27.45.
Close down the menu and back up (don't forget to take the sixth tile first).
At the end of the dining car is what looks like a bar. Click on the bar for a close up.

Click on the door to go through.
In front of you is what looks like a poster, but there are hinges on the left and screws holding it down on the right. A wall safe!

Turn left.
Go through the door back to the main corridor, then click on the dining car doors to move forward.

While the train is in close up click on it to turn it around. Notice the hole in the back wheel when the train is facing left?

Now use the train on the tracks and it will go forward, opening the doors.
Inside the doors is a screwdriver, take it.

Once you've solved the train puzzle the cabinet below will unlock.
Click on the cabinet to open it and take the tea kettle.
Time to make steam!
Use the matches on the Bunsen burner on the left of the bar.
Once you have a flame put the kettle on the burner and back up.
You should be facing back the way you came. Turn right (or left) to face the bar again and notice that the kettle is steaming.
Take the kettle, turn around, and go forward to the door to the corridor.
Getting Out
You should now be in the corridor facing back towards the first stateroom.
Click on the window on the right where you put up the shade (it will be the fourth one on the right, counting from closest to you).
Once the window is in close up use the steaming kettle on it to find a code.
This looks like a series of large and small dots. Notice the positions of the large dots, from left to right: top of the column, middle of the column, top of the column, bottom of the column, and middle of the column.
Back up.
Go forward down the corridor then through the doors to the poster (wall safe).
Use the screwdriver to remove the screws and open the safe.
Now you are faced with a series of five knobs and a button to the far right.
Put the knobs into the same position as seen on the window, from left to right: top, middle, top, bottom, middle.
Once the knobs are in position click on the button on the right.
A panel will open, revealing the weird key.
Take the key and turn left.
Use the key on the cross-shaped keyhole and you are out!
