Ben There but Can't Dan That

[robvalue]

Haydn, here's some hints for you to help you without giving it away, in decreasing order of subtelty:

Hint 1

Spoiler

Have a look at what other objects you need to open the doors to the other dimensions. See if something looks familiar.

[close]

Hint 2

Spoiler

Check out the pub again, you need to get something from here. You should have the items you need.

[close]

Hint 3

Spoiler

You need to get the top hat from the barman, so you'll have to get him to leave. He says he's tired of dealing with drunkards collapsing... Have you been to all the rooms in the pub?

[close]

Solution if the hints don't help

Spoiler

Go through the back door in the pub, and then use the key to unlock the far left door to the cellar. Go into it and use the tubes which go into the beer kegs to switch them round. Go back up to the main pub room and talk to the lager louts. Ask them about their drinking game, keep talking to them until they drink up after saying 'come on England'. They should collapse which is the last straw for the poor barman.

Rob... thank you. I'm pretty sure I'd tried that before without managing to get it done. Made progress. Much appreciated.

[Haydn]

Rob... thank you. I'm pretty sure I'd tried that before without managing to get it done. Made progress. Much appreciated.

However, and I do apologize for the double post... I am desperately stuck trying to find whatever opens the door to the hot room now. I feel really, really dense.

[olafmoriarty]

Spoiler

The key to the hot world is the model X-wing, from the dino world.

[close]

Spoiler

To get it, you have to "distract" the T-Rex who won't let you have it.

[close]

Spoiler

There is another item in the room which can help you with that.

[close]

Spoiler

The nerdosaurus' Death Star. But of course, the nerdosaurus won't let you use that either, so he needs to be distracted...

[close]

Spoiler

In the conversation with the nerdosaurus he mentions a hobby that he takes very much pride in, and could probably get him away from his desk...

[close]

Spoiler

He holds the high score on one of the arcade machines in the back of the room. Beat his highscore, and he'll come after you to try beating it again.

[close]

Spoiler

Ben sucks at the arcade game, so let Dan play it.

[close]

Spoiler

Now, interact with the death star.

[close]

... and the key is free for you to take!

[Haydn]

Spoiler

Help

Thank you, thank you, thank you! ><

[Nostradamus]

Help please:

Spoiler

There's two dimensions I'm stuck in - I can't break the lamp to get the Yin (but I guess that comes later) and I can't pass the lava to get the spanner. Inventory: lighter, scissors, hand, bible, rock, blue tack, sponge, thermus filled with lava, moonshine, loo cakes. What's my next move?

[close]

Please give a full direct answer, NOT hints!

Spoiler

Lava world: Go to fish-n-chips shop, get a board from the boarded-up door. Use board on lava.

[close]

If you haven't got the required item to remove this item:

Spoiler

In spaceship, check the area between two doors -- I seem to recall it was the dino world door and the 51st state world door -- there's a hidden door there which wasn't there before, but you can now open it. In there, you'll find the crowbar.

[close]

The item you need for the other puzzle you're mentioning is in a world you haven't unlocked yet.

[Haydn]

Well I'm down to taking care of the camera (at least I figure that's the only thing left in the museum) and I'm most stumped. Any help? Much appreciated.

[olafmoriarty]

Spoiler

You have to throw something at it.

[close]

Spoiler

Cover the lens with mud.

[close]

Spoiler

If you don't have the mud, you can get it in the museum (same room as the dioramas and comic books).

[close]

Spoiler

To take the mud, swap the rock with it.

[close]

[Haydn]

Again, many a thanks. Wonderful game, had fun playing through it.

[Nonax]

[close]

Hints for that have been posted above so I won't repeat them

Examine the panel, this should give you a clue as to what to do next.

[close]

Solution

Spoiler

Use the rock on the panel.

[close]

Hint 2

Spoiler

Looks like the wire needs fixing?

[close]

Solution

Spoiler

Use the wire.

You're welcome I'll keep a look out in this thread if you need any more hints.

[Nikodemus]

Hello

Spoiler

I am by the Bible verses, but I only have a swedish bible. Should that affect the outcome somehow?

Here's what I got:
Job 15: 30: "He won't escape the darkness, he is a weed that is burnt in the heat."
Kings 18: 45: "Meanwhile the sky was covered with dark clouds, it blew and started to rain"
Acts 2: 2: "Suddenly from the sky a noise like that of a stormwind, and it filled the entire house where they were"
(Very loose translation)

Are there going to be other puzzles like this?

[close]

[Gilbert]

Spoiler

I don't understand, you don't, ever, need a [real] bible for this game.

[close]

Spoiler

Just check the pillars and the bible in the game.

[close]

[Nikodemus]

Sorry. I get my... own ideas...

Anyway, I am stuck again:

Spoiler

What do i do to warm the guy up after melting the ice? Is it the moonshine? How do I get the moonshine from those bums?

[close]

[olafmoriarty]

Spoiler

Give the guys videogames!

[close]

Spoiler

You find them in a cardboard box in dino world; use scissors to open the box.

[wendy]

Spoiler

I have read the hints about the light switch at the beginning of the game, but I can't figure out how to turn off the switch so that I can take the wire.

[close]

[robvalue]

Wendy:

Hint

Spoiler

Ben says only a complete idiot would touch the light switch, so maybe he's not the man for the job? Maybe there's another action you haven't tried yet? (Cycling with right mouse button)

[close]

Solution

Spoiler

You need to cycle through the actions until you get Dan's head. Use that to click on the light switch. Apparently he loves doing that! Now you can safely touch the wire.
