Title: Search for the Christmas Present
Post by: desimaui on Mon 14/08/2006 07:04:37
I need help with this. I can't figure out what to do in his bedroom. All I have is the sheet and the poster...

go to the lower left edge of the screen and then try to go down (about 1/5th of the screen width). Leave this room and the rest should be obvious.

the combination is a red herring. You must put a key in the keyhole of the padlock. Search for the key (it is not on the keyring) and examine the close-up picture of the lock carefully

Thanks, I'v gone down before but guess I wasn't in the right spot before.

I have not been able to do anything in the basement. When I click on all of the boxes, nothing happens...I do have the note with the combo but how do I look at it?

look several times at the note and at the boxes and then try to move the boxes more than once. You should be able to move them at the second or third attempt.

Wow, unless there is another room with boxes, I am still perplexed.
I tried every box at least three or four times and all he says is, "Nothing interesting there,' or "I'm not going through all of those boxes!" And how do you read the note? I can pick it up but I can't read it...

strange, it took me a few attempts but then I succeeded. The note is not soe easy to grab with the cursor.

Maybe I did something else first in another room that was necessary to continue, but if so, I do not know what.
