Hi can anyone please help with...
Spoiler
getting the safe code? I have the piece of paper with the clue on it and the book and I can see the colour chart, but still stuck
Thanks!
Hi Ida
I just downloaded this last night and I am stuck there too.
Spoiler
I read the note with the hint about Arabian Nights and that he liked Ali Baba and that A = 1. We need nine numbers for the safe so I tried the numbers for Arabian, using the A = 1 hint and I was able to get 9 numbers, but they didn't work, then I tried the numbers for the word Nights and that didn't work either. The numbers for Ali Baba don't total 9 so of course that didn't work either. Its probably really simple we just can't get it LOL. I have looked at the color circle too but can't figure out if there is something to do there or not. I have 2 cables, file, book, piece of paper, note from son and a short piece of rope. If you get any further let me know.
You must remember what Ali Baba said just to enter in the thieves'hidden place (in english, of course) ;)
Thank youuuu, I never would have thought of that, got the safe open, still haven't figured out how to get down the stairs

look at the color circle in the room at the far right. Get a close view. And remember that on one piece of paper there is a note about complementary colours. So blue connect to yellow and...
Arabian Nights
Spoiler
Open sesame doesn't work for me, neither from left to right nor from right to left. But I'll give it another try.
Opened it...
I must be stupid,
Spoiler
I have two pieces of paper, one is note from son, the other the note about the code, I don't see anything referring to colors

Spoiler
there's a manual in the toilet about how the elevator works. Your son has written something referring to colors in the manual
I'm stuck:
Spoiler
can someone tell me how I have to connect the cables to make the elevator work? I figured out that blue goes with yellow, and red should go with green or light green, isn't it? please, help :P

Look at the picture with the colour circle in the bedroom and get a close-up view. Yellow goes with blue, green with pink in this game, red with light blue.
What to do with the telephone number S5B2R7P134
I have no telephone with letters ?
QuoteWhat to do with the telephone number S5B2R7P134
Well, this is not the telephone number, just a hint where you can find it.
Spoiler
S means shelf, B means bottom, R means right and P means page

I can't get the color thing working. Even if I try the above. What about brown & the lavender type color (just below brown)? Please help.

I read that the bug are reported in the other forum.

Connect brown and lavender. I don't know if you must get a close-up view to complete the game. You have to connect *all* tags. If there are not enough wires then you forgot to fetch two cables.
I got lift working again but still cant crack the safe anyone give a big hint please

Here we go:
Spoiler
You got to replace the single letters of the word "sesame" by the numbers which match their position in the alphabet. You already know A=1. So B=2 and Z would be 26. This way the word "sesame" gives you a nine digits number.
Now my problem:
Spoiler
I already got the son's phone number, but now I don't know any further. Could someone give me just a little hint what to do next.
Thanks sthomannch ,
I got it. The stoopid that I am I forgot to
Spoiler
get the cable from the bathroom
Derwo, you are close to finishing the game
Spoiler
I assume you called your son.
Can you open the front door?
And can you prevent the burglar from opening the door to the library?
sthomannch
Spoiler
the man still says he doesn't need to phone anyone. I've got the key to the front door now, but the man won't open the door before he knows where the burglar is. Obviously I must have missed something.
Thanks anyway
Derwo
Spoiler
where the broken glass is on the floor (same place you picked up stone) you can pick evidence up and then it will say you now know where burglar is and you will be able to use the phone
I phoned the son and rigged the door cant find the key or do anything else I picked up some glass and stone when I first came in can anyone tell me what to do next
Many thanks, Joyce!
I was quite sure I tried this several times before, but as it seems i didn't.
@Tina
Spoiler
Sticking something ductile into the lock of the front door, should help you to create a copy of the key.
Ok ppl, I can't get those colors working. Can you please tell exactly which of the lower to connect with which of the upper tags?Plz? :)
Think of the above spots as numbers 1 to 7 and the lower spots as A to G:
Spoiler
A-2, B-5, C-7, D-1, E-4, F-6, G-3
Ok, any hint regarding preventing the burglar from getting out? I think I tried everything.
Spoiler
Do you have any ropes?
I know , I got the rope. I tried tying it to everything but in vain. Just tell how to solve it 'cause it may be some bug.
Ok,i forgot about the other rope. :P Got it ,solved it. Fantastic game btw. And the music didn't get boring or irritating, it was what kept me playing on actually. :) The ending was interesting. Very good work, even though the graphics may not be top-notch the spirit of the game is highly universal and the misery of the main character truly catches one's attention and brings some long forgotten problems out on the light , for the masses to see and pity the miserable old man and his woes. Two thumbs up, way up. :)

a little help?Ã, I tried open sesame as well....tried open say me...open simsi...everything I can think of

im really having problems with the shelf puzzle. im not sure what i should type into the text boxes?
Solution of the shelf puzzle:
Spoiler
I assume you got the right shellf (number 5, it's the one right to the desk). The first box asks for the shelf from the top. The hint on the piece of paper is B 2 which means the second from the buttom, which is the fourth from the top. The next hint is R 7, which means the seventh book from the right. So type in the frist text box 4 (or four, or fourth) and in the second 7 (our seven or seventh)
thx!

How do I

You need to ropes to do it
Yeah, I figured the ropes would have something to do with it, but
Spoiler
I have got only one rope, made out of the bedsheets, tried to cut it on two, where can I get another one?
Spoiler
The curtain in the living room
Danke :)
Help! Please,anyone! I cut the sheet with the knife to make a rope and now the knife disappeared.How am I supposed to cut through the curtain for the other rope? I tried with the glass but nothing! :-[
Spoiler
There are scissors in the bedroom
God bless you Sinitrena!

Try some wax.

Great game! ;D

i connected the wires like you said, but the elevator still doesn't work. what am i missing?

Well, thanks ;D
QuoteWeird ending but it's still cool
An explenation of the ending is in the completed games announcment thread.
Quotei connected the wires like you said, but the elevator still doesn't work. what am i missing?
If you really did it this way it should work. The main character will refuse to juse the elevator if he isn't armed, though.
How do I get the phone number from that damn shelf puzzle... just what do I have to type in the 2 dialog boxes
Argh!
Spoiler
I can't figure out how to get wax out of that candle! Did I miss a matchbox somewhere?

Hint: there's a match in one of the drawers or cupboards.
Hm,
Spoiler
I have the wax key, but how do I unlock the door? Presumably I have to make a proper metal key, but how can I do that? Something do with the nail file?
Hints only, please, no outright solutions.

Spoiler
use the wax key on the stone (,which you find in the living room). Then go on like you expected...
