I can’t figure [THIS](http://www.ampgames.com/game/430/Escape-from-Death-Row.html) game out. It starts in the cell and I can’t move from there. All I can do is flush the toilet. Any clues? ---

Any clues? [/QUOTE] It says you need a key, perhaps one is just lying around somewhere. Also, It’s hard to find small things in the dark. ---

Solution: There’s a yellow thing behind your toilet which is your key; click it. Then click on your door. Go into the cell across the hall by clicking on it; there’s a screwdriver under the cot. Pick it up. Go ou into the hall, click on the vent, crawl out into the vent, click in the upper left corner. Find a rope in the corner of the yard. Click on the little black thing on the wall. You’re out!. ---

You’ll need more light to see it, I think… click on the little orange ball hanging from the ceiling in the corner of the room that shows the mirror and the door. (one click left of the toilet screen) ---

This game isn’t nearly as diabolical as some of the flash games I’ve played. Semi-spoiler: If you get stuck, just press the Tab key. The yellow box will highlight everything you can click on a particular screen. ---

[QUOTE=Hamlet] Don’t take this personally, but boy that was a stupid game. [/QUOTE] of course I’m going to take it personally! Who do you think you are you son of a Just kidding! Actually, I came across it looking for a video game of the same name that appeared in a Simpsons episode. Is that pathetic, or what?
