The Scarlet Room

Categories: Flash, Free, Games, Online, Room Escape, Walkthrough

The Scarlet Room is a Room Escape game created by Gabriel Kindermann aka Gasaki. The game is inspired from Toshimitsu Takagi’s work (Crimson Room, Viridian Room).

“Where I am, how did I end up here? I can’t remember. For some reasons, I was melancholic, drinking…

I can’t remember a thing. Now my head hurts and I’m locked in this room. I gotta get out…”

A nice work for a first attempt and the TAB key is your friend when you get stuck.

Have fun!

   Show

   get key from book shelf. That opens the top draw in the wardrobe. Get blue shirt. Tip the top left corner of the painting a few times and a key falls out. That opens bottom draw. Write down the code. Under bed is a piece of paper (don’t know what for yet). Check trash can and get note. Check box on top shelf and get padlocked bag.

   That’s all I have so far and this game is moving so slow…..

   the numbers change every time you try to put the code. For example the number of the t-shirt has changed 7 times!!!! So did the number in the painting (x=?)

4. nat says:

   December 3, 2007 at 4:37 am

   Also, the code in the drawer (some times it’s + and some times its -).
   Turn the TV on and watch in the top left corner. You will see the number of th square [] but it changes also every time you try a new code!!!!! Horrible!

   heres what i got so far:

   Show

   key from book shelf, opens top draw of wardrobe.

   blue shirt with a red circle and a 7 on (assume its for the code).

   Code from bin (diagram on back)

   piece of paper under the bed (used for puttin under door)

   box on the shelf gives a locked bag

   second key from corner of the painting (click a few times)

   for some reason a piece of paper appeared in my inventory with a section of a story, which basically tells you to turn the clock to 11.35

   turn off lights and a red mist appears

   check carpet the fly moves in the shape of a number three next to the upside down triangle and equals sign.

   bottom draw gives some kind of code.

   now im stuck tho =/

6. Tall Paul says:

   December 3, 2007 at 4:50 am

   btw code will change if u get it wrong so numbers and the code itself will be different everytime

7. aggeliki says:

   December 3, 2007 at 5:01 am

   click on the lamp to take Show

   a piece of paper and turn the clock at eleven thirty five. the bells will start to ring. then close the light and look at the carpet. if you turn on the tv you’ll see the spuare equal to a number

8. aggeliki says:

   December 3, 2007 at 5:03 am

   in the painting its Show

   x equal to a number

9. Tall Paul says:

   December 3, 2007 at 5:06 am

   the numbers in the draw are confusing me, anyone help?

10. Tall Paul says:

    December 3, 2007 at 5:34 am

    grrr im still on this game (had a break for myspace) but ARGH!!! im still confused

11. nat says:

    December 3, 2007 at 6:20 am

    x is Show

    in painting
    [spoiler][] in left up corner of TV when you turn it on
    o is in T-shirt
    Δ is in carpet (=3)

    still trying to figure out the drawer….

    The second symbol in the drawer looks like the locks on the drawers. I thought it was a 1 (one) at first, but I’m not so sure. Also, if you click the paper with the code for the safe, there’s a back side to it. That same lock-like symbol appears there. It points to the cabinet doors too, but I don’t know how to get them open (or get the purse open for that matter).

13. nat says:

    December 3, 2007 at 6:25 am

    I got so far too… Also the red triangle in the drawer might as well be a triangle with a 2 above it…right?

14. Candy says:

    December 3, 2007 at 6:32 am

    Does anybody else see…
    Show

    the two white arrows in the bottom dresser drawer? they are pointing to something but i can’t see it

15. Spence says:

    December 3, 2007 at 6:34 am

    The triangle iShow

    n the drawer is probably equal to the circle combined with (the sign changes) the number of locks, two, but I’m not sure where you find out what the circle is equal to.

    Another problem is Show

    that neither the circle nor the triangle in the drawer are filled in, but all the other symbols are..purposeful?

16. Spence says:

    December 3, 2007 at 6:41 am

    Edit:

    Got it!!!!!
    Triangle is equal to:
    Show

    The number of doorknobs on the back of the sheet with the safe code symbols, 7, plus or minus the number of locks on the sheet, two

    Beyond that, still working…

17. Sara Anis says:

    December 3, 2007 at 6:48 am

    A wild guess on the drawer clue…

    Show

    could the number of yellow door knobs + or – the number of grey locks? therefore 4+ or – 2 = triangle.

    However, I tried this with the other shape/numbers, hasn’t seem to work.

18. Sara Anis says:

    December 3, 2007 at 6:53 am

    Got it! Ok, some corrections from above. Code for safe:

    Show

    the number of yellow door knobs is 7, not 4. It’s including the 3 knobs on the tv cabinets. So, depending on whether the drawer shows + or -, the code is either 5 or 9.

    Tried it along with the other codes, my safe is now opened =)
    Thanks to my sister for pointing it out.

19. lmd says:

    December 3, 2007 at 6:55 am

    Show

    the drawer tells you that the triangle is the tee shirt number plus or minus 1.

20. Candy says:

    December 3, 2007 at 6:57 am

    Ok I got the safe open!!
    inside is some scissors?

21. Candy says:

    December 3, 2007 at 6:57 am

    Ok…why are my spoilers not showing up right??

22. Miss sunshine says:

    December 3, 2007 at 6:58 am

    Show

    The triangel with top up is found by adding doornobbs and either subtracting or adding the number of looks in the room.

    the drawercode will tell you.

23. nat says:

    December 3, 2007 at 7:14 am

    Thank you Mis Sunshine, got the scissors…

24. Gav says:

    December 3, 2007 at 7:16 am

    the yellow circle sure looks like them door nobs right

    what you do with the scissors I don’t know

25. Candy says:

    December 3, 2007 at 7:16 am

    Am I the only one that sees the white arrows in the bottom drawer?

26. Candy says:

    December 3, 2007 at 7:19 am

    ok…figured out how to do spoiler tags correctly now…they lie to you
    Show

    you can only do it one way

27. Candy says:

    December 3, 2007 at 7:22 am

    haha….i get the Show

    white arrows

    now….never mind them

28. Candy says:

    December 3, 2007 at 7:23 am

    they just point to the knobs and locks…geez this one is hard!

29. Louise says:

    December 3, 2007 at 7:36 am

    Yes, but I dont know what to do with them !
    thanxs miss Sunshine, I was turning crazy ! Show

    Which means triangle up is 9 or 5.

    I wanted to cut the piece of paper (white) I found, but it wouldn’t let me. :-(

30. Candy says:

    December 3, 2007 at 7:37 am

    ok!!!
    Show

    use the scissors on the top of the bag with the combo lock

31. Candy says:

    December 3, 2007 at 7:43 am

    by the way with the scissors… Show

    cut the top of the bag…i think it was grey will give you a game…think its a gameboy or something…idk, turn it to the side and take the stylus out of it…
    I’ve been trying to put the piece of paper under the door, and time it just right to get key with stylus….not sure if it will work or not

32. Candy says:

    December 3, 2007 at 7:46 am

    Show

    use the scissors with the blank piece of paper to get doll cutouts…

33. Alice says:

    December 3, 2007 at 7:51 am

    the x on the painting changes all the time…

34. Alice says:

    December 3, 2007 at 7:52 am

    oh and not only the x… the number on the tv too, how should we figure out what the code is when they keep changing??

35. Louise says:

    December 3, 2007 at 8:06 am

    Done !

    In your items Show

    Open the bag with a lock… In fact, you don’t need to unlock it, just cut the white top of it with your scissors, and there you’ve got… a nintendo game.

    But it doesn’t work !Show

    Never mind ! You just have to take the stylus on the right side of it. Then of course you want to put it in the door hole, to get back the key. But…

    Then the paper is useful !
    Show

    First put your sheet of paper under the door. Don’t take aim with your sheet directly, but with the gun-sight you’ve got above it. Use your scissors on the sheet when it’s coming back. Then put it again under the door. Then, put your stylus in the hole… When it’s coming back, the paper will held the key.

    An excellent room escape !

    Walkthrough:
    Show

    Get paper from dustbin

    Show

    Get pouch from cardboard box on the shelf, a key among the books and a piece of paper under the bed. Click the left top corner of the painting a few times and a key will drop down from it.

    Show

    Unlock both drawers with keys. Get the t-shirt.

    Show

    Face the tv, get a piece of paper on the lamp. Based on the story on the paper, change the time on the clock to 11.35. Click on the clock to find 2 buttons on the clock, and there change the hour (H) and minutes (M).

    Show

    To unlock safe in the right hand tv cabinet:
    1. Look at the note from dustbin, the combination is circle, upside down triangle, square, X, triangle. The shaped corresponds with the numbers found in the room. Important: The numbers change everytime you get the code wrong. So keep checking for changes before you try again.
    2. The number for the cirlcle is on the back of the t-shirt.
    3. The number for the upside down triangle is on the carpet. Once you have adjusted the clock, switch off the lights. The floating ball (or fly, whatever) outside the window will now have cast a shadow on the carpet. It moves in the shape of the number for the upside down triangle. If I’m not mistaken, this is the only number that doesn’t change, it always seems to be 3.
    4. The number for the square is on the left top side of the tv when you turn it on.
    5. The number for the X is on the painting – bottom left side, in blue lines.
    6. Lastly, the number for the triangle is (according to the backside of the dustbin note) can be found by solving the formula in the drawer, yellow door knob + or – grey lock = triangle. Therefore, 7 + or – 2 = triangle.

    Show

    Use the code to open the safe. Get the pair of scissors.

    Show

    Click on the locked pouch. Don’t waste your time trying to open the lock. Cut open the top part of the pouch with the pair of scissors. Tada! It’s a Nintendo DS, get the stylus.

    Show

    Slide the blank piece of paper under the door. Hear freaky sounds and the paper slides back. Poke the stylus into the keyhole, but nothing will happen (yet!). Now, cut the paper with scissors into paper dolls. Slide the newly cut paper to get back torn and bloodied paper dolls. Poor paper dolls.

    Show

    Slide the paper dolls under the door again, this time it stays under the door. Poke the stylus through the keyhole again and the key on the other side of the door will fall down onto the paper dolls. Pick up the paper and get key.

    Show

    Unlock the door with the key and you are free. Or not.

    Personally I’d rather jump out of the window.

37. lmd says:

    December 3, 2007 at 8:09 am

    I cut Show

    the paper and got paperdolls. i put the paperdolls under the door the first time and they came back partly headless and mutilated. i put the under again and got the key. i was asked if i wanted to use the key or jump out of the window. i selected the key, got a red screen and “to be continued”

    , anybody else got a different ending?

38. kayceeface says:

    December 3, 2007 at 8:14 am

Notice another code, upside down triangle = watch the moving ball, it will draw a 3, this will not change

    Show

    turn lights back on and go left to tv. Open left cabinet for safe, enter the code, if you mess up and get an error, you must go around room again for new code! open safe and get scissors

    Show

    use scissors on bag with combo lock top middle and get a game thing, turn it to the side and get the stylus

    Show

    slide paper under the door a few times and try the stylus with the lock, which won’t work….then cut the paper with the scissors, you will get a cute little doll cutout thingy…slide that under the door also

    Show

    you will get the cutouts back and they will look rough! slide it under the door again and it will only go half way, use the stylus on the lock hole to put the key out onto the cutout, get cutout and key

    Show

    Can someone tell me the code? i can’t figure it out ;___;

45. Andy says:

    December 3, 2007 at 12:44 pm

    Thanks Candy and Sara. I figured out that we were going to have to do the old Show

    poke the key out of the lock so it falls onto paper thing…

    but the changing codes threw me for a loop. I loved the paper dolls at the end.
