The Doors

gathered all the objects in room 1 and 2 and the pieces turned into a box that i cant examine. dont know what to do next. help please =]

I have picked up the first piece in the hall, and all of the pieces in room 1, but I am now at an impasse. I have tried combining pieces, but nothing seems to happen. I have also tried using pieces on room objects (though admittedly not all of them). Any suggestions or hints?

Great game, but rather frustrating. I'll figure it out soon enough tho...

Nevermind, I got it.
It is reminiscent of a Star Trek TNG episode. I can't remember which one, but I remember that Riker had a similar experience.

for the life of me i cannot get into the second room. I saw in the picture you posted that you got into a differnt room that the first one, so i was wondering if you could give a hint as to how you did it. htanks much, you site is wonderful

~Emma

Emma - click on the large tall doors. There are 4 of them in the 1st room, and one of them will take you to the 2nd room without having to find anything. Just click on the door.

Eckstein - you need to drag the box to something in one of the rooms.

Well I got all the way to trying to figure out which order to put the cards on the box... any help? Thanks for finding all these wonderful games. Your site is my daily stop.

I am pretty far in it so far. I am stuck on a really confusing puzzle involving the cards and te box thing....

I am stuck on the safe bit. Got the picture with a clue from room 3(the upside down room), but still cant work it out.
Any hints on this one?

OK, so I have all the items Minus one piece of the letter, the middle square piece. I have all the cards and the open box for the last door. I can not figure out for the life of me which card goes where on the last open box thingy!!!!!!!!!!

Urgh!!!

Thanks, Darren. Yes, I had a bit of trouble figuring out the order of the cards as well. It is possible to compare the cards with the doors, since the symbol on each door matches one of the cards. It will help to remember the order of the rooms you visited to solve this puzzle.

FraGG - does the keypad on the safe look like anything else you've ever seen before?

AhhhHaaaa, Got it! If anyone needs help let me know!

Yes I beat it finally, I would just type down everything you need to know here but that takes the fun out of it!

Wow, this game had me pulling my hair out, but I finally got it. One of my friends actually linked me to this the other day and I gave up on it (I couldn't find that one piece needed to create the box). But, I'm glad I stuck at it.

Great ending! The game reminded me of Viridian Room and Crimson Room, but the ending is really original.

Tnx, Jay.

Cheers,
Stefano

Nice game, good ending too :)

Dre i need help! how do i get into the safe? (just a hint plz)

If you don't know the code for the safe, it's not time to open it yet.

I like your site alot and i think you should add heliattack 2 to your lists of games. It's a great game, despite the simplicity. I'm glad you put merlin's revenge on the site. Merlin's revenge 2 was great

okay, I got that and I put the box in the slot, entered room 3 and got the paper and two new cards....and stuck again. clue?

Took me a while to figure out how to get to the second room, but after that it was all easy, even the card thing. I'm at the very end, and there is only one piece of the letter that I can't find. It's the top right hand piece. Could somebody tell me where it is please?

ok I have all items from rooms 0, 1, 2, and 3, and the first 4 pieces of the letter. I have the box from room 3 but where do I use it?

how do i put the last box together

alright, disregard those last posts, I got it. Except for the open box...You said previously that you needed to use the order of the rooms you visited to solve the puzzle...I started the puzzle over and tried to record what doors I took. It turned out a little more complicated than that and I remain stuck. If you could give me a little more info..anyone! I need this!

Jessica - don't worry about the last piece of the letter, concentrate on getting into the 5th room.

Suz - did you check in, under and around everything?

Jason - *spoiler* look at the symbol on one of the doors, then go through the door to see what rooom number that symbol corresponds to. You will have to remember which room is which to get the numbers right. The first room you start in is room 0.

ook I'm in the last room... clicking everywhere and I can't find anything =(

Suz - Did you assemble the 4th box?

i still dont understand what to do with all the cards in order to open the last door and put together the last block

nope.. can't find it..

please i need more help on assembling the box im going insane, the info provided wasn't enough for me..im an idiot perhaps

Sadly, I can't even find the L-shaped puzzle piece from Room 0 (the hallway). I feel like a bit of an idiot, seeing as everyone and their brother is asking about the box they make.

ok I found the last box.. now I just can't find the last card =/ I'm really clicking everywhere in room 4, I swear!

Kaesa - you really need to be liberal with your clicking. =) Try near the left edge of one of the radiators.

What happens after the upside down room? I'm stuck. Help please! Thanks.

Suz - the last card is on one of the shelves in room 4.

Tob - did you right the upside down room? You need to right it first, then you can find your way. Did you look everywhere? In and under things?

I have all the cards and trying to get 4th rubix cube key thing...i tried putting them in order by what room i go in ....but i don't know what order to put em in and what to do if they are in order, will it form key by its self?!!?

This game is very very VERY frustrating! Hi, Im ben, (new)... Kinda stuck, the pieces of the box u find in the first new room dont really make a box with me... maybe the box just hates me... =(
Nice to meet you all... any hints you feel like MERCIFULLY sending me can be sent to my email =D

No I haven't fixed the room yet. Do I need any specific items to do that? Nice site by the way.

Ben - find all the items from the first two rooms before beginning to worry.

Brett - look at the symbol on one of the doors and note which card it corresponds to. Then go through the door and note which room that card corresponds to. Repeat until you have all cards associated with room NUMBERS. Then put the cards on the open box according to their room number. The first room you started in is room 0.

What do you do in the upside down room? I am lost!!!

Thanks, Tob. Getting into the safe might help you right about now. =)

Ok... so far ive got:
Ro - The card
R1 - The card and the 3 pieces
And the first 2 pieces of the letter...
Its like im closed off since none of the doors open...

after u get the cards in the correct order on the boox...then wat do u do....click something? or does it do it by its self???

YES. Thanks; after that hint I managed to get through the rest of it. Cool game, and this is a really neat idea for a blog. ::bookmarks::

And the code to the safe has something to do with the room numbers and the cards? Or is that for later on with something else?

You will know if you have the cards in the correct order. If you place the cards and nothing happens, then try a different order.

Ben - you're missing the piece from R0. You cannot progress further without it.

Ahha! Now I know what to look for... THX! just one more thing... is it in room 1 or 2?

How do you set the upside-down room straight? I have the picture so far from room 3 and 3 pieces of the letter... room 2 and 1 are complete and missing the box for room 0...

Thanks Kaesa =)

Tob - you should have found the combination for the safe by now, me thinks. Did you find the picture yet? When you do, it should look familiar.

i cannot GET IT!!! its drving me crazy, someone instant message me on AIM... skiii024 with order b4 i punch my new monitor :D!

cant find the piece in R0 not the card the other piece

Man, this game is sure driving some of U nuts! Good thing ive got something to take my anger out on! *plays stress relief game (I beat the you know what out of an animated office assistant=))

Yep, I've got the picture and I know where the safe is but maybe I haven't found the incription on it?

i can not find the piece in room R0

Im pretty sure the Radio has something to do with it... or the drawers... only the bottom drawer opens... right?

Its interesting to me that this genre of web game keeps reappearing, but I suppose I played it and it was kind of fun, so why not? :)

The radio is useless, leave it alone. The combination to the safe is on the picture, use your imagination. The piece in room 0 is near the radiator.

ok I really need help now. I'm in room 2, and can't find the last piece. I've tried clicking on just about everything. Someone, help me!

Aaron - from my perspective maintaining the blog, this class of web game is among the most popular there is.

Ah! I didn't see that because of my LCD monitor. Sometimes depending on the angle and the colour and the background, you miss out on things like that. Doh! Thanks alot.

thanks jay i found the piece just a little bit b4 u posted that i have all the pieces for room 2 now what do i do

*Bangs - head - on - desk*
Ok, so it made a box, right? now what! man this is frustrating... Oh well Ill keep tryin.

nope, don't worry, ive got past that. NOw can someone help with the code on the safe?

I'm in the third room, have the picture, and I'm clueless about SCAFE. Am I just being illiterate?

that was fun! took me about 45 mins or so....the tips helped! reminds me of a game i played a while back called red room or violet room or something of that sort....these games a good time killer

i have everything but the last piece of the letter any clues?

If I'm not mistaken, it's SCAPE not SCAFE, lol

ring

Cant anyone help me? Ive got the first box, the first 2 cards, and the first 2 letter pieces... WHAT DO I DO NOW? (All the doors appear closed)

i cant figure out the last cube with the cards and i cant find the last piece of the letter

i need the order of the cards on that open box. please

cool game, finally beat it

Jay: judging from the number of comments each one of these types of games generates, I certainly can't argue. But doesn't it seem kind of odd?

If it is the puzzle solving aspect that appeals to people, why is it necessary to make it so hard and sometimes unintuitive to find things?

For instance, there are lots of doors/drawers in this game that don't open, ever. There are papers on the desk that can't be looked at. There doesn't seem to be any way to know what things will or wont have something hidden in them or be important, so we just click on everything gathering puzzle pieces until we encounter a puzzle (like the combination to the safe or the order of the cards), then we get a chance to think a bit. Seems like bad user interface design (poor discoverability, right?), yet people still love it.

I am in the 3rd room with the large clock. according to the comments its the upside down room. i have found the paper under the lamp. the paper in the cabniet and under the desk. and medical report in the book. WHAT NOW???

whats the code to the safe i cannot figureit out and its driving me insain

Harukio, thanks for helping me realize it's SCAPE and not SCAFE. Hard to see. Beat game kewl ending.

omg i can't figure out the order of the cards and where to place them on the box.. someone help me.. please!

im on the bit in the 3rd room, where it says

"what is going on?..there must be a way through"

and i cant get any further.

Aaron - it does seem odd, especially since many people have such a time with them. Maybe that's part of the appeal? If items were easier to find, the game might not pose much of a challenge.

On the other hand, the popularity of these games suggests a dearth in availability of similar games, and therefore people may be willing to look past any usability issues -- especially because the games are free.

It's a good point you made, and one I intend to consider during work on a similar project for a graduate course this quarter.

AAAUUUGGGHH! HOW DO I GET OUT OF R2???
sorry, but I'm just really stuck here. So far, I have all the cards from r2 and that nice little note thing, but when I try to get to the next area, it just has that text saying "It seems I always come back to this room. There must be a way out..."

can someone help me???

Could someone please e-mail me and tell me what I need to do from here, please? I've spent way too many hours trying to get past this point, but can't seem to. :(

http://img66.exs.cx/img66/2639/untitled1js.jpg

uhm... i'm stuck on R2... i got the cards for R0 R1 & R2, the box assembled (that's how i got to R2), the medical profile from R2 and 3 letter fragments... but can't find out what else i can do! i try to go thru the door in R2, but it says i keep getting to the same room... can somebody help, plz?

i'm stuck in the same spot as taylor and rob, in R2, the room with the clock. it's not the upside down room, there's no picture anywhere, that must be R3.

anyway, i have no idea what to do from here

ah, nevermind, i got it. beat it, cool ending

good game, bad ending.
it also could have been longer, seeing is that it only took me 3 minutes.
i like games like this and veridian room.
thank you jay

S C A P E : well lets say it this way, look at ur cell phone or home phone and try and figure it out on the safe, all u need to use is common sense,
(^'.')> - jared

Currahee: We stand alone,TOGETHER

pretty easy game. Cool ending.
SCAPE not SCAFE got me tho,
other than that, no reason to have any trouble, unless your dumb...

peace

sigh.. how do u find the safe code? is medical profile thing suppoesd to help me out...?

I'm stuck with Rob in the room I can't seem to get out of I have the three R2 items (2 cards and the Med Profile) When viewing the room with the clock at the left side of the screen the time reads 3 O'Clock and when I turn to the view with the clock on the right side of the screen the clock reads 9 O'Clock but I can adjust the time to 10 or 11. What am I missing - I'll take an email or response here please

Thanks,
Rook

REPOST: Could someone PLEASE e-mail me and tell me what I need to do from here? As much as I've enjoyed getting to this point, I've spent way too many hours trying to get PAST this point, but can't seem to. I've probably clicked everything I can possibly click about 200 times each. It's getting very frustrating. :(

Posted by: Rick at March 19, 2005 11:56 AM

Rick - you need to assemble the open box. There are 6 faces to the box, and... oh look! you've got 6 cards. =)

Maybe there is a correlation? Indeed.

Match the cards to the box by the room number each card represents (a little investigative work is required here, as well as remembering the order of the rooms you visted) and you will be rewarded.

Rook - Do you notice anything in the Med profile that you can use in the game? It must have a purpose for being there. (Hint: note highlighted text).

where is the card in the upside down room?

how do i get into room 4?

i have all objects from room 1 and the card thing from room 0. i don't know wat to do next please someone help me!!!

Wow, I must say, this is the largest amount of comments I have seen on any of your posts, jay.

Is the open box like a map? or does it have nothing to do with the way the rooms are actually placed in the house?

can some just post a message with a bunch of spoiler warnings at the top and say what cards corespond with what numbers on the box?

Need help clicking????? If not do not read.....

Use tab button to see what you can click on.

I have access to all of the rooms and I have all of the items....except the top right letter fragment. Help?

Heh, nevermind, that TAB trick really helped. Two seconds after I posted I found it.

ok i seriously need help...
i got the box from all those pices and i got the first 2 pieces of the letter and 2 cards.

wut do i do now... plz help n e one

Matt - you need to drag the box that was formed to something in one of the rooms.

Woow! Awesome, i didn't now that it was so easy! Every time when i was seeing this game on a site, i tried to escape it! But, it never happend.

Thanx to the walkthrough, i escape it!

Hurray! Thank you very much, it was an awesome game!

Not a bad game, the ending was different, I just think it could've been more exciting

o thank god it took me like 10 minutes to read all the spoilers and get out. it took 4 ever.

Wow!!! This games is hard. This is probaly going to take me three weeks to finish maybe more.

That was a stupid ending. Well not to bad but not good either.

Here's a COMPLETE walkthrough:

how do you put the cube together?

+wow, it made my hairs stand!

i dont get it, in room #1 why arent the pieces form a cube?
what do i have to do?

The ending of the game is a little disapointing. I'll tell you if you click on the spoiler.

that game was

how do i form the box of cubes

The cube does not form for me either - does it automatically form or do you put the pieces together - restarted 3 times by spoiler instructions - get all pieces but does not form?
Thanks!!!

Darn. Can't get the cubes to form either, a little help would be nice :)

i am going crazy, the cube doesn't form a box!!! what should i do?

Hey Regina;

You should also play afro-ninja games too, especially the one with the car please keep sharing this kind of games

the game was really fun well i think that because i lvoe a good mystery i think this was just a pratice mission for me but after all that the man was just dreaming the funnest part was looking for all the clues. well, heres a good-bye from Angent, Baby Bri

tanks for the help got me through it easily !!:)

I finished the game. Wow. I didn't expect that to happen. But it was nice!!

hey people..
why do these blocks from room 1 not form a cube?
it really makes me mad
i tried it time after time and in the right way they tell me here

Hey man I can't find the piece of the cube in the R0, someone help me please

i've got the pieces but cant form the cube either! do i drag it together or form it piece by piece on the holder??

I have the same problem as Jean - I've got all the box pieces, but they won't form a box.

I'm completely silly. I've sorted the box - was missing just one bit.
Great game.

What is with the ending?! I remember getting in trouble in school for ending stories like that cos its an easy way out.

Good game. Very good.
Lame ending. Very lame.

Yay! The first escape game I have completed without looking at hints. I think I'm getting better at these....

good game. ending was like

but the game itself was a lot easier. i liked it.

i follwed the walkthrough but the 3 pieces of the cube witch i picked up from room no2,dont form a cube hence i cant place them on the box holder near the door they r just 3 individual pieces help!

I had the same problem with the cube...couldn't figure out how to put the pieces together.

I work out that there are actually four pieces to the cube. You find the first piece in R0 and the other three in R1. The piece in R0 is on the radiator to the left of the drawer.

Hope this helps.

The pieces do not make a cube. I have all three pieces, and the card, NO CUBE.

That game was great, pity i could not hear the music, i had no headphones or speakers! Your guide was a lifesaver

This was really fun, but it took me a while. I even peeked at a spoiler (ok maybe u did a little more than peek). But it is really good. Maybe one day I will write up a spoiler for one of these games myself. I play them alot.

This Game Was Kewl!;)The End Was Soo Kewl lol Thnx For Helping Me Pass The Game!

<33Courtney

Hey thanks for the tips! the hardest part was finding the damn pieces!!!! And figuring out where to click!!! I had to use three helps...in the end i got there though! i thought its a cool game! why'd the people make it??? seems odd to put so much effort into it.... very difficult on the brain...frustration = reward of figuring it out! very good!

i dont know how to get into r1 with the card help

cooool game, very nice with bad bad end :)

there are four pieces for the first cube...

I think the end was funny! It was totally not what I expected.

i cant get the cube into the box holder does it fit together before you put it in help me lol

this is a cool, fun, neat adventure game. reminds me of Hugo from the old days. wish there were more like it around. anyone know of more adventure/puzzle type games similar to this one?

good luck all and enjoy...that's the point ;)

ok, i get to the very end and i can't put the letter together!!! can someone please tell me how to put it together? im about ready to give up...

haha!! ok i got the whole letter thing figured out...clicking really helps!! ending was kinda boring,, not the greatest..but fun!

haha. funny.
I have a stupid question now - what shall I do, if the R3 is NOT upside down?

I'm really stupid, i just can't find the first piece of the cube (R0), i've tried everything you said, but i couldn't find it, i'm guessing what i'm doing wrong...

that game was really good and it was quite hard

bit of a boring ending but i compleated it !!!

thanks people for helping me

spent bout an hour doing it but got there in the end

hope all other people injoy it

all you need to do for the letter is click on it at the bottom !!

the end is stupid because you spend all that time doing something in your head

oh have any of you played grow island

ace game

Gotta say....endin sucked. All that for something that was in my head.....just give me a pill next time that will wake me up!

Help! I did all what the complete walk through of room one said to do, but my pieces won't make a box! I found the box in the safe, but that doesn't work with the door to get out. How do I get my pieces to make a box shape?

Wow! Good game! I liked the ending. It nakes you think.

I did what Kat said and it worked! ;D
Thank you Kat!!!

CUBE

thanks beto !!!!! be blessed for your help !!!! I never believed that someone could give so much help for nothing!! Thank you again !!

who made this game, and did they make any more?? it was really well-made, i'd like to keep track of whoever it is :D

Wow, that was tough, but I beat it. You can not go through this without writing stuff down. And just remember everything you do and see.

I played a game "the doors" .How to match the word(scape) with the telephone keypad and which number should we enter in the safe?

Room 0 (J)

Room 1 (t)

Room 2 (S)

Room 3 (F)

Room O (J)

Room 3 (F)

Room 4 (e)

hey...i found all the pcs in room 2 but as they dont automatically form a box? what gives??

Ok, I have all the pieces of the "box" and 2 cards, it says "Watch as the pieces form a box"
This did not happen, I still have all separate pieces.

Please help.

A totally great ending, enjoyed it a lot.

5/5

I stumbled across this game whilst, er, working hard and instantly became addicted!! To all those stuck on the last box KEEP going, this part took me the longest but once you get it you feel elated! I didn't like the ending but it wasn't awful - the concept was clever though!
HINT:- The last box: if you put the blue card on zero and the grey card on 5 you will find it easier to place the other pieces!

I'm off to try the Crimson/Violet room games now as recommended.

Good luck!!

:D

PS This site is immense! Helped a lot! Ta very much!

Stupid game, the characters on a phone keypad are not unique, the game assumes :

1 = [space]
2 = abc
3 = def
4 = ghi
5 = jkl
6 = mno
7 = pqrs
8 = tuv
9 = wxyz
There are phones with "1=abc" ... "9=yz."

I'm in room 2 with the jacket and fireplace. It says to put cube by the boxholder by the door. Where? I don't know - someone please help me!

mdsmdksmdks -

There's what looks like a little curio shelf just to the left of the door (next to the coat stand). Put the box in there. Here's a screenshot.

Hey guys. I got numbers into the safe then the cube, but I don't how to go into next room i.e kitchen...can anyone please tell me how to go into next room and also 4 R0 is there any cube required?

I dont understand this game i need help

Jacob -

If you post a question about a specific problem in the game we will be glad to help you with it. In the meantime, have you checked out the walkthrough?

how do i get to R3?

I dont have 1 card, the first one from left to right, that is supposed to be found on room 3!
I think is the number 4 in ine cube.

Okay so I don't know about anybody else, but I could NOT for the LIFE OF ME figure out how I was supposed to make the hands on the clock move. I could only move them like, four spaces either way, and that was it! Did anybody else encounter this? I had to stop playing the game because I was getting ready to smash my mouse apart from frustration!

Really nice atmosphere. I kept expecting something to jump me.

People!!! I'll tell you one thing I know. The order of the arrangement of the card on the box is the order of the doors you went through. The catch is that there is no door on room 0, therefore put all the cards in the order of the doors you went through, the last card left you put on 0.

Can anyone tell my why the code is 7273? What is the pattern in this? Scape doesn't work with 72273?

how do you form the box in room 1 i have all the pieces but i dont know how to form the box

Was pointless, unintuitive pixel-hunting tolerable back in 2005?

[Flash games in general were in their infancy back in 2005, a far cry from the multi-million dollar industry they are today. So, yes, there was a lot more patience afforded to them considering online game experiences were few and far between. That being said, this game is surely not as bad as you make it out to be. I remember it being one of the better games at the time. -Jay]

How do I get to the third R3 ? ? ?

awesome game!!! if it weren't for the spoilers, i would've been stuck in room 4 with a mystery box forever. i hated the eerie music though. its like there's a ghost somewhere, watching my every move. whew!

Am I the only person bothered by spelling errors? After all the time and effort spent refining gameplay and polishing the sounds and visuals that contribute to a game's atmosphere, is it really so much trouble to find someone to proofread the text in the game? I cannot be the only one who finds it disheartening to complete a game only to find basic spelling errors on the "congratulations, you finished" page at the end.

Jay,

Thats was a fun game, and i really enjoyed it. Look forward to another game like this one. It was stressful and very frustrating at times but that just made me wanting to keep playing it and trying to figure it out even more.

Precious Turner

I enjoyed this game very much. I played it 8 yrs ago when it first came out, and completely forgot about it until I found it again today! It was just as fun the 2nd time around as I completely forgot all of the solutions of course.
SOMETHING FOR ALL MSO PLAYERS TO PONDER: How is it that someone who is intelligent enough to program a GREAT game is NEVER capable of composing a single sentence in English, grammatically correct, with perfect spelling? Why? It is almost a GIVEN that very cool MSO games will have poor English throughout them(The Submachine series is another very good example). Yes, Submachine is from Poland, BUT! Even the American games have poor English. WTF?

ooooooo...so indie and mysterious........

Trippy Trivia! Click on the

Oops... dang. Eight years ago I posted that walkthrough, and I hadn't checked back since to realize that I left out

I doubt anyone will read this now, but mea culpa.
