I am playing box, i am stuck on the desert game, i have opened the fuse but what do i put in the fuse to make it work so i can fix the robot?? thanks

[Leon]

Well, you're not really tied to the desert...... and what conducts perfectly and does NOT exist in the desert? ;-)

[voh]

That... Was incredibly logical.

Thanks

[Tina]

Spoiler

[Ghost]

A little more specific...

Spoiler

Doesn't the robot con-fuse you a little?

No problem, we all get *bonus* points there for just watching your avatar dance

[voh]

I'm sorry Ghost, but I'm going to have to deduct 5 Cool Points from your Cool Account for that pun.

Spoiler

step on the flat stones and watch the steam flowing out of the pipes. Stepping on the stones in the correct sequence moves the note from left to right, first from the left three pipes to the middle, then to the right. Move the note to the rightmost (bent) pipe. Next, blow the note up in the air and it will land at the place you saw it when you arrived at the island. Be careful when you pick it up again

Ok I'm stuck in the part with the floating door and the 4 lights, I've already

Spoiler

taken the key from under the rock.

[close]

What shall I do?

[ThreeOhFour]

Subtle hint:

Spoiler

In order to open the door, you must figure out what significance the key has to the area. Compare the key to the surroundings.

[close]

Bigger hint:

Spoiler

Pay close attention to the lamps. Notice how they are all at different heights?

[close]

Direct answer:

Spoiler

You must turn the lamps on in a specific order - this order can be found by looking at the order of the 4 pegs on the key. The longest notch corresponds to the tallest lamp and so on - turn the lamps on in the same order that the pegs on the key are in and you'll be in your way in no time

[Fedx]

Oh!!! thanks, I though that I had to look for something like that. Thanks!

[Tina]

im still stuck, i have put fuse in and talked to the robot but now it says think i should leave him alone now, i cant do anything else i can only go between desert and the contraption game before what do i do now thank you

[Ghost]

Have you used all the dialog options? The robot *can* shed some light.
Have you tried to use the BOX again? The robot mentioned something.

Spoiler

You need to say "Become The Machine Gate" in order to move to a new world.

[Matti]

I'm stuck:

Spoiler

I got the gem from the golem and now I don't know where to go or what to do. Using the box I can only get to the already known locations...

[close]

[ThreeOhFour]

Mr Matti, have you tried

Spoiler

Using the gem on the box? The archive suggests that this is the purpose of having a gem, and you should be taken to an island

[close]

[Matti]

I was sure I did try that, but obviously I didn't.. strange. Thanks, Ben.

[Khris]

I'm stuck in the mw.

Spoiler

I got that I can make the cat follow me, the light is on, the jellyfish is there and I guess I'm supposed to catch it and scan its badge. How...!?

[close]

[ThreeOhFour]

I can't really give a subtle hint how to do this so:

Spoiler

In order to get the badge you need the cat to catch the jellyfish. The cat has three interactions, one makes it sit, one makes it sleep, one makes it follow. When you interact with the jellyfish, it runs away. Get the cat to sit on one of the three platforms surrounding the light (not sleeping, sitting), and then chase the jellyfish over to the platform he is sitting on. The cat should do the rest.

Hello... I'm stuck...

Spoiler

Sally has to save that Kadin guy from being stranded. I went back to the machine world, and picked up my platform, but that doesn't seem to work.

[close]

Nevermind!

Spoiler

Had to try doing everything once more.

[paolo]

I'm stuck in the room after the desert.

Spoiler

I haven't found a way of getting across the gap, even after going back to the previous two rooms.

[close]

Thanks.
