With easy escape games like this, I like to find the Phi for the game. The Phi of an escape game is the smallest number of items you ever have to have in your inventory while solving it. (I only assigned a random Greek letter to it so it'd sound professional.)
The Phi of TGKE was 1 (items placed in the Construct screen don't count). The Phi of TGLRE was 3 (hint: start with the mask). The Phi of TGBE was 2. The Phi of this game is 3 (all the nails are counted as one item, because they only take up one inventory slot).
Happy halloween..!! i got seven nails..might it be useful?
Well it may be easy for the most part, I can't seem to find the last nail! Someone help, please. Thanks.
Nevermind. Just found it! It was in the most obvious location ever!
all 8 nails utilized..
Phew, finally found that last nail. I was really happy to see this up today.
Happy Halloween!
8 nails and a hammer.
Door is open.
Now what?
Nevermind.
I didn't notice
the breakable box
Thanks anyway.
How did you find eight nails without noticing the breakable box Ezrabbit?
I, on the other hand,did notice the breakable box but can only find seven nails? huh?

I am also missing the last nail.

Nice one! I finished without help for a change.
I like the last two great escapes particularly. Good animations, fun style, and solvable puzzles without much pixel hunting and giant leaps of logic.
Keep the 'Great' coming!
UnderwaterPeacock already gave the full walkthrough :O
Thanks for the list of nails! The only thing I needed to look up was where the final nail was, it was nice being able to find that without spoilers for anything else!
After seriously trained by Mateusz Skutnik's previous games, I finally figured this one out without any walkthrough. Yeah!
OK, maybe I am just dumb but I got thru the whole thing without the walkthru then couldn't get out. What do you do with the
mouse
and what is the story about the
whole chain and gears assembly in the wall?
My gut tells me that somehow I am supposed to be able to
get the mouse to chase the carrot (chili pepper?) but I can't seem to find where/how to connect the mouse to the rope.
I'm happy another "TG_E" is out! I figured this out with only one piece of help, and that was breaking the box.
Is the next game "The Great Bedroom Escape?"
The last bit of the walkthrough is missing a couple of steps:
Place the mouse in the gear contraption (on the washing machine tumbler, I believe). The gears will turn after he starts running; at that point, click the rope on the right and it will snag in the gears and open the trap door
That was great! I loved it. Looks like my own basement, only tidier.
I just wanted to note that it wasn't very clear what the rack was in the previous walk through. i referred to it later in the game so there were steps I missed, thus when looking back I didn't see the racks or the chain step until later when I went back. It caused a lot of confusion.
Here's a revised version of the walkthrough. This is recommended for people who are only referring to help themselves.

put the mouse in the tumbler

Not bad for a short break.

Isn't this a bit far fetched solution. I mean couldn't you just tie the pulled rope to anything.
Wow! This is the first Skutnik I've completed without a walkthrough, or of any point and game really (apart from Ghostscape).
Maybe my skills are getting better? D: Must...get...life...:P
Only joking, that would be unthinkable!
i'm sooo happy i'm crazy about these great escape rooms ^^
Great artwork. Best escape game I've ever played.
These guys are one of the best when it comes to the Escape-The-Room game genre!
What on earth do you do with the chain and racks
This series gets easier each game. I'm not too big a fan of the art though I prefer this to the games that use ultra real art like Gotmail stuff.
OMG, this and the other 3 i've played are the BEST room escape games EVER!!! PLEASE make more of them whoever made them, lol.
You need to put the mouse on the tumbler then click on the rope the youre out!
i cant put the chain on..... but the mouse is alreadyy runninggg wat do i doo??
I can't find the breakable box anywhere. The walkthrough that's been posted is extremely hard to understand !
Spottedfeather, you have to get the last nail by
clicking on the box first, and then breaking it.
I had a lot of trouble getting it myself.
what in the world am i missing? >:O
open the panel on the wall with the screwdriver
why can't i open the panel.
i get the screwdriver but the panel won't open!
for anyone who needs the end
it's
right
here
after you:
put the tumbler on the panel with rack.
put the chain on the racks and the thumbler.
tie the rope to the rope coming from the ceiling.
combine the rope, shoe lace, and the carrot.
put the carrot on the hook on the ceiling.
put the right and left skies under the closet on the ceiling.
get the 8th nail on the right box at the sink screen.
click the planks on the skies.
then click the mouse and put it on the bottom of the thumbler then click the rope connected to the other rope hanging out of the ceiling and then click the hole
Thank you Stephanie! The mouse part was the one I was missing. Great game!
The last nail is at the box on the right.
i cant find the nail? behind the bed supposingly? can anyone help??
what panel???? cant understand rack n panel at bike???
awwwwww the mouse gets squished :(
fun games though!!!
awesome game!!
I can't figure out how to click the planks. Can somebody help me?
I can't combine the rope with she shoelace and carrot
[Edit: Please do not use only capitals ~ Kayleigh]
I can't finish the game. I did anything, but I have the mouse left and don't know how to open the door. I was going to hang the mouse from the rope, but that's not really nice, so could use some help please.
how do u make the ladder? i have evrything else but that done. the door is open and evrything.
jan
You could try
Hanging a carrot from a bootlace.
in the walkthrough, you forgot
take the mouse to the tumbler so it will run the machine and pull the rope so you can get out
in the walkthrough, you forgot
take the mouse to the tumbler so it will run the machine and catch the rope so you can get out the trap door
How do you combine the
'rack' and the 'tumbler' I can't do it. Do you do it in the items panel? Not working for me.
That was hard! I was wondering what they meant by open the panel on the wall
You put the mouse on the tumbler in the hole and then click on the rope and then click on the ladder and you will be free!
