The problem I was having seems to be platform specific. I was not able to use the item using a macbook. Switching to a pc based computer resolved the problem. Grrrrrr over wasted time. :smack:

Odd. I’m on a Mac and experienced no problem here.

I’ve already gotten the screwdriver piece off. I see the place where the light beam is hitting and it looks like something might go in there, but I don;t have any pieces that work.
[/QUOTE]
Maybe not right now.You still have the screwdriver. Is there anywhere else you can see to use it?

Remember the locked box in the drawer from the first position in the game? The one with the green gem? If there only were a way to get that gem out…

Hint please:
I got the gem with the fish skeleton in the desert, so I know what orientation it has to be on the box. I can’t figure out what to do with the buttons. I tried clicking down the bottom right corner, as that was the empty space in the box the gem came out of, and I tried clicking all but that one, but nothing happened.

Regarding the doll:
I can’t seem to get the head off after positioning the arm as shown in the torn page. Do the other limbs need to be posed as well? Do I just click on the head to get it off once the body is posed? I’d appreciate a gentle nudge…

The head is easy enough to get off the doll, once you get _all_ the limbs in the right position. Do you have enough information for you to pose all the limbs?

[/QUOTE]
No, I haven’t found any clues that point out the correct poses for the other three limbs. I would appreciate if you or anybody else could give me a hint about how to find this information out.

Whoever tore that part of the page out is a real slob, the type who just throws his garbage anywhere he pleases. Reread the OP, especially the sentence with an underlined word in it.

I keep thinking that I’ve missed a way to click on an object just so.
I have two chunks of a rusty gear. I think I know where I could put it if only I could put it back together. Try as I might, I can’t figure out exactly what to do with them. I’m not sure what do make of the first drawing in the sketch book, either.

There’s another place you can put the rusty gear. Perhaps someplace you may have seen a complete gear before?

Ok people, I need a fix. I have a new addiction, and it is called Escape Games. However, the link that was provided earlier seems to be more of a dumping ground where things are hit and miss - anyone know of any really good ones along the lines of the three provided by the OP and Mystery of Time and Space?
I’m jonesin, man. I worked my ass off all week, and I can’t think of a better way to waste the weekend than by trying to escape from more rooms.

Sweet! Got it! That was cool. I need more.
Much more.

Well there’s always the Crimson Room, Viridian Room, Blue Chamber, and White Chamber puzzles. The Crimson Room was my introduction to the genre, and play them in that order, that was the order of releases I believe. You can find the site [here.](http://www.fasco-csc.com/index_e.php)
Though after the release of the White Chamber, there hasn’t been any more, I think he’s stopped making 'em..

Oh sweet, there’s another one! I thought the last was the Blue Chamber. More time to waste. 🙂
