Thanks **StephenG** I’ve managed to get to the room with the walking bridge and the rat thing. I’m stuck here now. This game makes me feel, how shall I put it, not too smart. ---

**skittles** , don’t feel bad – I think it gets easier, actually. (Or maybe that’s just me.) This game seems to follow a sort of patttern that things in one room of the suite you find yourself in are uselful in the other. For instance, with the bridge – you need help from the next room. There’re a lot of useful things in there… [Complementary Status Report] Pen, paper … but where’s the red wheel? [/CSR] ---

Done here, too. Didn’t sign the guestbook, because I didn’t realize the door would exit… oops. Good game, I definitely enjoyed it. I’ll check back and post tips if people need them, later. ---

OK - I think I got what I need from the next room. This is really making me batty!!! Need help - need lots of help…please…before I start rocking and crying in my office. ---

**Munch** I can tell you - but I don’t want to write it directly in this thread incase someone wants to figure it out. And I don’t know how to make a spoiler box. Any suggestions? ---

Karma demands that I tell you so that somebody can tell me how to arrange the tiles in the glass box. The flag in the computer room has a pin. Use that to open the diskette box. ---

I have the tiles in the glass box - and can move them back and forth - and have been doing so for about 30 minutes…can’t seem to make it work. ---

In the glass box that the tiles go in. look for small lines on the partitions that separate the tile slots. That is all. 🙂 ---

But **Kwyjibo** I managed to get them to line up with the small lines on the partitions. The tiles end up sticking out of the box somewhat. And nothing happens. Should I have put them in the glass box in a different order? And if so, how on Earth do I get them out of that stupid glass box to fix them? ---

You don’t sound like an idiot **Anubis**. Take the poster from the wall and shove it under the door. Then you’ll get a screw and a small pin. Then keep running the mouse over the poster and it will eventually change to poster with a key. Click on it and tada! ---

I’ve gotten the screw, but where’s the pin? ( Spoiler box: [/spoiler] [/spoiler] omitting the / from the first box) I hate this game! Yet I…Must…keep… playing!
