My compliments to the chef!Ã,  "Where's M' Hat Ma?" is one of the best adventures I've played in the past few months (I've just finished it). It's original, funny (tragic sometimes) and the characters are well built (I felt really bad about the death of Mr. Snail. And making people feel sorry for a snail, my friends, that's an art! ). I wish I could do art for a game like this some day.

Cheers,
Stefano

Hi Stefano,
I agree this is a great game , quite challenging and thats what you want them to be. Anyway, since you've finished it I thought I could ask you. I'm in England and got the 4 leaves but who do I give it to and what do I do with the mirror? I still haven't found the prince or princess?
Help please!

[hint] I can hardly remember and I only finished this a few days ago lol Is this the screen where there is some dried mud on the ground? If it is then when you fed the little blue guy did he spit something out?[/spoiler]

Yes, there is a spot of mud on the ground except I can't remember what the little blue thing spit out now. I know he likes me because I gave him the fruit though. Also, I can't use the mud.

Hiya Rosie

Spoiler

you need to show the little blue guy something so that he can follow the trail of the tentacle, what colour was the tentacle?

Hi ya Joyce,
I'm stuck in the place where the little blue guy is following me around in an area that looks like a planet or something. I got the grass to burn and gave the fruit to the little blue guy but can't get into the gate. (door)

What I have figued out about it:

Spoiler

Green buttons: change display.
Dark red button: leaves zoom mode
Light red button: submit your settings in the display (if it's correct you hear a "Click")
Blue Button: Hum.. Er... I know it generates the third number you need. Probably it calculates it, with some bizarre alien formula. Anyway: use it to get the missing number.

[close]

Cheers,
Stefano

Stefano,
All the numbers look like 8's or 3's so does that mean the answer is a number that contains 3' and 8's? How can you make a 1 out of it or say a 2? Sorry, I'm so confused with this.

You got it   Anyone listening? We could use your help.

Spoiler

For the number stuff, you don't need to make the displayed characters looking like arabic numerals (it's alien planet afterall), just coutn how many strokes was lighted up in each place.

Spoiler

Do you mean that I need to count per box how many strokes are lighted up when you hit the green button below it Then what do we do with those numbers? What are the other buttons for? I'm confused.

[close]

I am getting VERY frustrated, even looked at walkthrough but....

Spoiler

I am to the point where I gave the green card to the girl and am supposed to talk to the supply lady to get a new phone number.Ã,  I have done everything the walkthrough has told me to do, but she will not give me a number.Ã,  What am I missing?

[close]

Marlamoe,
I'm in the same position as you. I can't get a phone number from her

Spoiler

You have to move a book again to open up a small hole on the wall.

[close]

Thanks Gilbot now I am stuck on

Spoiler

that door with the numbers and colored buttons. I know it has something to do with the sheet of paper that ended with 3XXX. If the first number is a 3 do I keep pushing the button below that to make it look like a 3? And what about the other numbers?

[there are two secret places, one is behind a bookcase, you have to pick up one of the books I think, you don't need to go there yet,Ã,  the other one as far as I can remember is inÃ,  the last door on the left, its a kinda table thing, you have to open it, and you will get message saying its too small for you to go in, thats where you use the worm[/spoiler]

If you are talking about that brown pork-chop shaped table in the mddle of the last room on left: Okay, i tried using the hand icon on it and the worm on it, nothing happens

Gilbot, I got the worm out of the box but now I can't figure out where to go or what to do. It seems I've been to all the rooms unless I'm missing some sort of hidden or secret passage/

Spoiler

had you looked at are tried to interact with the locker first, before askiing again?

[close]

[/quote

I thought I did but tried it once more and of course now its unlocked. Thanks Gilbot!!!

Thanks Gilbot. Now I'm stuck at the lockers. I know that the snail came from #29 but its locked and the thing at the counter said I was just guessing when I try to enter 29. Hint Please

miryoku_81,
Actually the cards are not used much through the game although they are needed at the very end.

Spoiler

The snail is the 'key' to the tower door.

[close]

Wow I must be a retard because I got the tarot card for the tower but still can't get in with what I'm trying to do. if the key to the tower door is the snail and when i try to use him on the door, all he does is crawl all over the map on the inside which is no good to him now.  I used him with keyhole, hold at bottom, nothing works. I thought once I had the tower puzzle solved I could get in but can't. What am I missing?

Desimaui

The answer to that is either in this thread or the one over on hints and tips, it might be better explained that I can but I will try

Spoiler

over to the left there are 5 maybe 6 leaves altogether, you either look at the leaves or try to pick up, can't remember which, but when you get a message saying Me Go Look or something similar, then click on another leaf and if you get the same message then you know you are on the right track, find another leaf with the message again, keep going,Ã,  but if you get message No then you start over, its like a sorta chain reaction if you know what I mean.Ã,  Other leaf at the top right, where you see a drip, you have to move the leaves into a certain order then you will get a cut scene

[close]

Joyce,
Yes, I got thru the section with the 5 leaves:

Spoiler

me go look was the key. Then I moved up to section by the drip with the 4 movable leaves and tried a combination there. The drip gave me a nice water slide...

[close]

I still can't pick up that one on the bottom thats on aÃ,  moveable leaf???

sunshine,

Spoiler

The screen to the left has a piece hidden in it. You have to look at the leaves in a certain order, use the messages to workout the exact order for the six leaves.

[close]

When you say messages you mean the writing on the papers that he's picking up? How do you do that? When I use the snails eyes on the notes, it doesn't reveal anything?

Hi Wretched - welcome back

Ahhh so the worm maze was a bug afterall. Anyway we managed to get around it. I did find another little bug I think, when Ma is in prince's room, I walked over to the far right and Ma got stuck.
Do you know what the answer to Rosie's question is?about the interpreter, I am just curious about that one.

Joyce, I need your help with the worm maze. I only found 4 pieces of papar and I can't reach one. I tried going up and down many times but there is no other paper visible. How do I get to the one that is too far and where are the others? I know the snail can move certain leaves and can bite certain to move them but I'm struggling with this.

Actually it is a german series, and the episodes 1, 2, 8 and 15 have been translated to english. You can find them here:
http://maniacmansion.microspace.ch/spiele.htm

I'm sorry, but these are the only episodes that are available in english at the moment. But I hope that more will be translated soon. I'm trying to convince the other authorsÃ, 

@everyone who played this game:Ã,  Could you please tell me if the translation is okay? Please PM me if you find any important mistakes, because I want to have a good translation of my game.

Sorry if this is offtopic...

Hi, I'm playing Episode 15 right now and so far so good. If I see anything that seems wrong I'll let you know.

Fisher,

Hint 1:

Spoiler

There IS a piece hidden in the room to the left of the start

[close]

Hint 2:

Spoiler

You have to look at the leaves in a certain order.

[close]

Hint 3:

Spoiler

Use the messages to find the order, if you go wrong you have to start again.

[close]

Wretched,

Spoiler

I am stuck at the tower and don;t know how to open the door. I picked up the snail and one piece of paper from bush but I know there is more than one. If I try to go back into the forest she says she's tired(dizzy)
