Room Bath
A deeply satisfying escape game presented by Place of Light, you must find your way out of what is undoubtedly the oddest bathroom you've ever come across; codes and secret panels grace the toilet, gems are scattered across the floor and weird golden masks watch over the sink and bathtub. Perhaps it's the work of some eccentric, puzzle-obsessed billionaire....who has, um, slipped, hit his or her head and forgotten how to escape? Yep, that must be it.

im stuck! haha i dont really know what to do.
i only figured
putting the dirty sheet of cloth into the washing machine, and using the cable under the tub to connect electricity.
i'm figuring i need something to put into the washing machine? i have like a square shape soon and a balloon that i have no idea what to do with it. ):
i also found the secret gem compartment. but i suppose i only found 2 out of the many many gems i have to find?
Ok I'm stuck already. Seems like a cool room :)
What I got:
Yellow gem, red gem, three blocks with 1, 3 and 5, sheet of paper with an orange code on it, sheet of paper with a brown spot, seemingly dirty scissors, a big orange balloon and another object, blue-green of colour, don't know what it is.
I'm stuck.. I can:
Put the piece of paper with brown spot in the washing machine
But after that I'm stuck.
I've gotta say... there are games that handle linear-versus-creative problem-solving in varying degrees of flexibility, and I can respect that, but I'm bummed that I apparently can't wash off my scissors or my laundry in the toilet, which clearly has water *right there* in it, especially since I can't get water from any of the other three obvious water sources in the room. :-D
I am so close to solving this, the first time ever without a walkthrough, but dammit I can't figure out what to do with
the six gemstones, 5 tiles and other items. And what is that puzzle behind the wall panel? *sigh* I also have a blank piece of paper with a logo on the bottom right and a handle that screws into a water valve of some kind. I am so lost. The fairy tale book is a clue for a color scheme, but where do I use it?
scottique, for the sissors
The toilet tank has a faucet (for some reason) place the sissors under that.
anony
Glad I can help somebody.
okay to use the washing machine:
you need to load 3 scoops of powder (thats what the picture under the sink is about) then put the dirty cloth in the machine and hit the red button this cleans the cloth.
to open the code thing on the toilet:
the clean cloth has the word "high" on it. if you were to write that upside down, it would look like "4615". this opens it up an dgives you another number block and the key to the cabinet above the bath.
Ok, I have
four gems, 5 dice pieces -- missing the 4, balloon, book, and paper with logo.
I am trying to figure out:
how to pry the nails out of the bottom drawer, what to do with the big wood sheet on the wall, what the camera is for, how to pop (?) the balloon, what the faces on the walls are for -- bowl and handle both, and where the key for the cabinet over the sink is.
Thanks Madica! Now --
Ok -- got the bowl, the figurine, filled bowl with water. Got the code from the logo paper, used same, seen dice pattern. Still missing dice piece 4 and a place to put them. Still have locked cabinet over sink I can't open.
Suspect figurine comes apart, based on book. Can't do anything with sword or head, though.
Maqrkk
The hot water
comes from the bath, just use the paper in the filled bath
Anony
Stuck in the same place you are
Found out
you can fill the red bowl from both the bath and the toilet, and use it to fill the test tubes, but all I get is purple liquid. The bowl also fits in the picture above the sink
Well, this might not come for a few hours, but I've completed it.
Here are some hints:
for the code on the paper:
where else have you seen trapezoids like that? (further hint: it has a left and right)
Give up?
The toilet paper roll thingy.
It activates the camera ontop which shines on the 3 square cabinet.
the tube:
it is a cleaning agent.
use it in the sink.
It'll give you the code for the mixer.
the sink code:
there are 5 sources of water in this place, each corresponds to a symbol.
flush water, tub water, purple water, toilet water, sink water
dice puzzle
Placement is seen in the 3 shelf cabinet.
open the drawers
7 gem code:
It is actually put in reverse from the order that they occur in the book. In other words, from down to up.
Unfortunately you can't seem to complete the story by giving the samurai the girl, but you can get an unlimited number of green gems by removing the bowl and placing it back again. Every time you do that, it creates a new gem.
Regarding the five tubes on the wall, I have only a theory, but a hunch that it's right...
There should be five sources of water in the room: the sink, the toilet tap, the toilet bowl, the bathtub, and the washing machine. I can get water from the first four, but not from the washing machine; I feel like filling the five tubes with those five sources of water will produce something useful. Can anybody get water out of the washing machine?
Maqrkk, regarding the tableau with the red doll...
You'll need to take your hero and plop him down next to the red doll.
Once he's down, you'll need to take his head off to get at the key in his neck.
Use the key on the cabinet above the sink and get the 4-tile and superglue.
Examine the head of the nail, then apply glue to it.
Your purple dude has the hilt to his sword. Hook him up with the shaft.
Close the door. Purple dude knows how to do his thing.
...Ah. Got the tube thing.
You'll need to make purple water and put it in the middle tube, and fill the surrounding tubes with the four other sources of water. You know you've got it right when it makes yellow water. Golden water. There's no good way of phrasing that, is there?
From there, the hardest part of the puzzle is over; you should be home free.
The tubes
The symbols in the sink do indeed relate to the water you must put in the tubes.
1st sybol is water from the toilet sink.
2nd symbol is hot water from the bath.
3rd symbol is purple water you get by putting any type of water through one of the tubes.
4th symbol is the blue water from in the toilet.
5th symbol is from the sink.
Start with the purple water or you will have to start again because it empties all the tubes.
One thing I HATE HATE HATE with these games is I come very far by my own and then get completely and utterly stuck, only to find out later that what I missed is one pixel hunt-ish spot which to add insult to the injury ONLY WORKS AT CERTAIN "ANGLES", and not on others.
Case in point:
The crowbar. If you click on the space "above the cabinet" when you get close (when just one cabinet is in the view), you get nothing. However, if you click at the said space when you are on the in-between screen (two cabinets in view), you are awarded with the "above cabinets" view and the crowbar.
Things like these completely spoil what is otherwise a very enjoyable game genre.
To get the green gem:
Put the correct colored water in each of the test tubes.
Then,
Place the bowl on the drain, flip the switch, and watch as golden-colored liquid fills the bowl.
After that,
Place the bowl with golden-colored liquid in the drawing's "mouth" above the sink. A secret panel will then open above the bathtub. Perhaps there's something from your inventory you can use there.
Hope that helps!
Suz, about the alt ending
The switch in the first exit turns the projector that shines the dice clue around, you need to go back up and turn it on in its new position. Look around to see where it's shining, and that should give you a clue as to the next step
It shines next to the secret compartment with the gems in, showing a new order to fill the test tubes in
suz,
you need to push the button on the projector
look at the gems by the toilet and note the colours that are marked
they correspond to the colours in the sink
the markers from the projector represent the tubes
redo the tube thing using the yellow water you used earlier in the middle tube
go from there :)
For the TRUE ending, there is another EXIT in the room which you need to go through...
One you put the new 4-digit code into the toilet, you will see the message TRUE and a symbol.........What thing in the room does this symbol look like??
The True exit is in the Washing Machine
OUT with True Ending. What a fantastic Escape Game!!
HINTS
A few hints to really get into loving the game, says the nut who's played it about ten times already. (Ooof, you get up EARLY for your escaping!)
General hints
-
The pixel hunting. Look everywhere. If you're a seasoned escaper, you know the usual spots.
-
Unfamiliar objects. Nothing's labeled. Don't guess at what they are. At least, that tripped me up.
-
Examine objects. You'll use everything till the very, very end.
-
Action leads to reaction. Check everything in the room after you do/activate something. Most are intuitive, though in at least one case it's not - of course it's possible since you don't see the mechanism.
-
Combining and using is possible for your objects and the room fixtures. As usual.
TRUE Ending
(As of August 2008). If you want to tackle the True End after you leave the room, click the small square of Japanese in your ending screen. That should bring up a paragraph or so of Japanese. At the bottom of that, there's a long button and a short button; click the longer text.
This will bring you back into the room for part two.
Then start re-checking all your views! Remember how the gem panel was in plain sight? It's not small, but it's camouflaged.
Hard Bits
-
The "X" means mixing.
It doesn't matter what you use, as long as it produces enough to be usable.
-
Chamber/alcove
You can place things in the empty space inside the square chamber. There's no obvious shape inside the chamber, but it's in the clue.
-
Paper
Try wetting the blank paper.
-
*Sadly* the one clue does *not* say "the pen is mightier than the sword." It's an arrow, not a greater-than sign.
-
For an extra neat detail, don't pop the balloon as soon as you are able. Try it a few steps later.
-
The final puzzle for the "fake" ending is also a brain-twist, but I won't spoil it here. ;D
...uh, are we crediting the maker of Room Fake for this? I don't see any mention of http://ma-me.net/lamp/
I'm very much for all due credit, since they seem to be planning another game...
I'm stuck right off the bat, as usual. Can someone help?
What I've done:
Unlocked the black & white cabinet, plugged in the washer, put the dirty cloth in the washer, drained the sink, put the red and yellow gems into the panel in the floor.
What I have:
Balloon, dirty scissors, scoop, cloth/mat with a symbol in the corner, tile with 1 dot, tile with 5 dots.
Still do not have the green gem and getting frustrated! What am I missing? I have...
the golden liquid in the bowl, the bowl in the lion's mouth picture, which turned around to show a drawing of the toilet, done the dice puzzle and pressed the button to show the lion's head with a green eye. If the green eye is the gem, I can't click it!
Please help!

To properly fill the test tube assembly:
-
Fill the BOWL with any water and deposit it in a test tube
-
Put the now EMPTY BOWL under the stop-cock at the bottom of the test tube assembly.
-
Click the round dial once - purple water will flow out into the bowl.
-
Collect the now PURPLE-WATER-FILLED BOWL and pour it in the middle test tube.
-
Now go around and put the appropriate water in the appropriate test tubes as noted by the code in the bottom of the sink. (To collect toilet water, you obviously need to put the lid up).
-
Once you've filled the tubes, place the now-empty bowl under the stop-cock.
-
Click on the dial over the stop-cock - the water that comes out should now be golden.
Go back to the lion drawing over the sink and put the GOLD-FILLED BOWL in the appropriate slot.
-
The drawing will flip, showing an outline drawing of the toilet, indicating a hidden panel on the floor in front of it.
-
Back out; go to the tub. The lion's head is gone and there's a panel there - click on the new panel until you get type of peg board - the pegs look like they belong to the PIP PIECES you've been picking up.
Back out and go to the toilet paper roll holder and click on each side of the holder as noted by the code on the STEAMED PAPER.
Back up; go back to the tub scene. You'll now see some white dots on the gray cabinet.
Click on the cabinet and open the doors. This is the appropriate placement for the pip pieces on the peg board (which would create a standard six-sided die).
Go back to the panel and place the PIP-PIECES. When you're done, click on the button on the lower left - the panel will turn around to re-expose the golden lion, which is now missing it's right eye.
Re-open the alcove with the FIGURINE and collect the GREEN GEM.
Go back to the toilet scene and find the panel indicated on the reverse of the lions head drawing/gold-filled bowl.
-
It's faint, but you can see an outline on the floor - it's almost in the middle, a little above the bottom boundary.
Click on the floor panel, and you see a slot for the seven gems you've been collecting.
-
Reopen the STORY BOOK; each page has one item that is colored. Place the gems in this order *as indicated by the arrow in the drawing*.
Back out a panel has opened underneath the toilet paper holder!
Exit the panel and you're out.

The code from the curtain goes in the toilet panel. I am not sure why yours isn't working. Sometimes it doesn't let you do things until you have done something else first. Have you found the panel in the tunnel? Have you pushed a button on the video camera? Maybe you need to reverse the numbers or check the numbers, I know I got it wrong the first time and needed to look at the cabinet dots again to get it right
Hm, I think I just messed up and lost the silver gem. I...
...put it in the eye socket, then (unable to get it do do anything interesting) I tried to get it to spin around again by replacing the bowl in the lion drawing. When I re-opened the die puzzle and hit the button, the face swivelled back without the eye, and since nothing's happened, I assume that's a bad thing.
This was a a pretty fun game. One thing that bothered me about the game (and escape games in general) are things that cannot be accomplished without certain prerequisites when in real life anyone could easily do them.
For example:
Not being able to get the bowl and figurine from the tub without filling up the water, or not being able to pop a balloon without a nail.
Still, I guess it's still part of the fun of escaping from rooms. Either way, Weekday Escape is the highlight of my week!
Walkthrough, Alternate/"True" Ending
If you were paying attention, you saw that all the writing under the Congratulations indicated you were at the "Fake" ending. Clicking on the larger, left "button" at the bottom of the text brings you back into the passageway.
As with the first part, this exposes the whole walkthrough; it starts assuming you've completed the standard/fake game.
Go back out the passageway; go right to face the sink
Click on the outline in the upper right corner of the passageway.
-
Click on the smooth-cornered rectangle; uncover the white switch with an icon that looks like a battery.
-
Click on the left end of the switch to change the icon - the icon actually represents the video camera.
Back out. (If you don't have it, collect the STEP STOOL to put in front of the tub.)
Go examine the video camera and click the button on its now exposed rear.
Back out and go back to the toilet - note the light shining on the floor.
Examine the gem panel area - note the long, cut off ovals near the gems.
This is a code to re-fill the test tubes:
-
blue (toilet bowl)
-
red (tub)
-
yellow (the gold water)
-
orange (toilet faucet)
-
green (sink)
Back out - collect the bowl from the lions head drawing and re-fill the test tubes as noted.
-
Place the BOWL on the grate and click on the stop-cock. The bowl doesn't fill but a cabinet appears over the test tubes.
-
Open the cabinet, collect the FEMALE FIGURINE.
-
Re-collect the BOWL.
Back out and go open up the panel behind the gold lion.
-
Place the FEMALE FIGURINE next to your original FIGURINE.
-
Back-out and re-open the panel; collect the HEART.
-
Examine the HEART, collect the SQUARE PEG.
Back out, go back to the lions head drawing. Place the BOWL in the mouth to reveal the toilet bowl outline drawing.
-
Note the square hole in the lower right corner - place the SQUARE PEG in the hole.
Back out - go back to the tub and try to re-expose the gold lion using the dice-puzzle button. The panel will only rotate 90 degrees.
-
Back out, go back to the lions head drawing. You'll see the square peg has blocked the panel from rotating and exposed a cabinet.
-
Open the cabinet, collect the SILVER GEM.
-
Back out, go back to the tub and click on the partially opened gold lion panel to close it.
-
Back out, go back to the lions head drawing and remove the SQUARE PEG.
-
Back out, go back and re-expose the gold lions head.
-
Place the SILVER GEM in the right eye of the gold lions head.
Back out, and note how very shiny the SILVER GEM looks. Close the shower curtain to expose a diagram.
-
The diagram has two parts, which indicate a new four-digit code for the toilet.
-
The top part of the drawing refers to the location of the pieces in the die/pip-piece puzzle. (Despite the camera being turned around, you can still check the black and gray cabinet for the appropriate numbers.)
Enter this new code into the toilet and open the hatch.
-
You'll find the word True and a symbol of two concentric circles.
-
What in the room looks like two concentric circles? That would be the washing machine.
Open the door to the washer, and you find the true end (with a whole bunch of text and a way back into the room, so maybe there's even a third ending, but I don't have to elevate my ankle anymore so I don't have the time to find it...)
I was so greedy that I kept on collecting the green gems by doing the monotonous routine and filled my empty inventory boxes. Then when it got filled and when I clicked on the bowl, I did seem to take it, but since there was no space in my inventory it got lost!
Now I have no bowl! Lots of green gems - no space in my inventory except 1 - and don't know what to do from there to end the game.
:(
Thankfully I saved it some time back - shall replay now.
"Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction."
Fun game, but one glitch I found was with the sink taps on back of red monster. You only need one, yet it does not disappear when you click it, and if you click it again, it will fill up another slot in your inventory. I lost the samurai sword (nail) and couldn't end game because couldn't get the orange gem as all my available slots were full when I went to get the sword. I collected it bu ti doesn't show up in the inventory and had to restart game from the beginning
I love a good, challenging escape room game as much as the next guy, but this one was ridiculous. I lost interest after a while because their game play was non-linear and the required steps did not seem to head towards the goal any time soon. Also, knights-in-shining-armor fantasy style nonsense and pretty gems have no place in room escape games. Whatever happened to solutions that use real-life objects? Sorry, but dolls mysteriously dueling in a magicigan's-style trick cabinet are so far-fetched as to be a turn off. Dear Place of Light: nice try, but you get an F on this one.
Translation of the TRUE ENDING.
△SPOILER WARNNING▲
This is the translation of the dialogue you see after your achiving the TRUE ENDING. It will tell you what the whole thing is.
And. THIS TRANSLATION IS AWFUL. I'm sorry about that.
=================================
"…F-02. This guy pass the 'Ture' one."
"…Achiving 'Ture' again. He has capacity that beyond our imagination.…Needless to say, F-01 is excellent, but maybe he would be stuck here."
"--'Lineage determines everything'. And sure enough it does, doesn't it? All are presided by destiny… by FATE, exactly."
"However, it's clear that he can't come up to the brilliant F-O1.…"
"Nope. F-01 is outstanding, but F-02 also keep a big protential. It's not unvealed completely yet."
"The number of successes is …18. Not very good, but satisfactory."
"How many people can be 'challengers' at last? … It's interesting."
"I think so."
For those of you still playing and are totally confused by the gem puzzle (as I was, despite all the help that's on this page - probably due to my inability to process language too well), here it is
The order is reversed from the order in the book with the exception of the title page which comes last - yeah go figure!
Order of gems starting from the top
blue (light)
red
purple
yellow
dark blue
orange
green
I found it on another cheat page.
to get the green gem follow this :
you need to first turn yourself facing to the cabinet, on which you can see several white dots that usually appear on a die.open all the boxes and remember the layout. By now you should have all the faces of the die in your inventory. return to the bathtub and open the white box where before it should be the lion. lay all the faces of a die onto the panel and press the bottom left button. then it would transform to what it was as before. open the upper box and pull the handle below the lion. on the left of the blue suit man it is the green gem
I found a glitch!
After you get the green gem, go back around to the sink, take the bowl back, and then put it right back in, so that the picture of the toilet with the secret panel comes around again, then turn back around to the bath tub, and the panel will be back. Open it and click the lower left button again, then open the cabinet above the gold lion again and click on the handle once more, and another green gem will be there! Rinse and repeat!
I give this one 5 Stars...It kept me busy for hours, and although I DID have to get a nudge of help now and then from the walkthrough, it ultimately all made sense when completed. Without a walkthrough, it would seriously have taken weeks to figure out. My only big complaint is: Would it have been THAT HARD to make the COLORED WATER in the TEST TUBES appear to be filled with the CORRESPONDING COLORS??? I mean REALLY? Would it have been THAT HARD TO DO, MR PROGRAMMER MAN??? LOL!
When I got to the very end I found it ridiculous at first that the order of the gemstones was reversed, and then I had an "AH-HA moment"...
"OH! YEAH! I guess if you're reading THE STORY whilst SITTING ON the crapper, then that WOULD be the correct order to place the gemstones!" ROFLMAO!! GOOD THINKING and LOGIC, on the part of the programmer!
If any other players out there know of games similar in quality to this one, please tell me. Submachine's, Worldgate's, and Imagia's are my faves.

Click on the dial over the stop-cock - the water that comes out should now be golden.
