GAN-TAN

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

GAN-TAN is the second Room Escape game created by Luca©House after Merry X’Mas, a game released last month.

In Japan, New Year is, by far, the most important holiday. No New Year’s Eve is complete without hearing Jyoya No Kane (New Year Bells): beginning on New Year’s Eve and continuing into New Year’s Day, bells in Buddhist temples throughout Japan are rung 108 times to announce the passing of the old year and the coming of the new. Buddhism teaches that people have 108 earthly desires or passions that cause human suffering, so the bell is rung 108 times; with each toll of the bell, one desire is dispelled.

That being said, enjoy the bell ring and have fun!

Update: GAN-TAN walkthroughs in comments #43 and #44 (thanks Jer and tolly!)

   I’ve got Show

   A card, some kind of wooden plank (“Hagoita”), and two tops (spinning toys)

   And now I’m stuck. Anyone else playing?

   I have Show

   a card, a wooden plank, two tops, a black pebble-like thing, a wireless remote, a black key (used), and I pressed a button under a tile to get a chandelier with a key on it (which tells me I need scissors I can’t find).

   I’m completely stuck now, though.

   Gertrude – Show

   did you get the key under the pillow (where the red card was) after you get the card a key is under the corner of the pillow. Then go to the locked cabinets and use key — you’ll get the scissors

   oops! forgot to use spoiler. sorry.
   Put the black eyebrow -black spot thingy- Show

   onto the picture under the panel near the mouse. Use the remote to open the panel, then put the eyebrow on the pic.

6. Gertrude says:

   January 2, 2008 at 2:34 am

   What picture?

7. Bogdan says:

   January 2, 2008 at 2:37 am

   @ Gertrude
   Show

   Where did you find the black pebble-like thing, the remote, the black key and under which tile is the button you pressed to get the chandelier?

8. Gertrude says:

   January 2, 2008 at 2:43 am

   Bogdan,
   Show

   the black key is under the screen thing on the view with the cupboards. The black pebble-like thing is near the bottom of the japanese writing on the wall on the view with the pillows on the floor. And the tile with the button is the orange one under the dining table; you can vaguely see a handle of some sort on it.

9. Bogdan says:

   January 2, 2008 at 2:46 am

   @ Gertrude
   Show

   I foud the tile, pressed the button and got the key.
   I used the key on the locked cabinets and got to a safe that needs a code to open.

   If anybody is intersted,
   Show

   The tile is a brown tile on the floor at the left of the table. Click it, it will open revealing a button. Click the button and some kind of chandelier will come down from the ceiling with a key hanging from one of its arms. Use the scisors to get the key.

   I’m still stuck, can’t find anything else.

    there is a panel above the mouse – looks sort of like a window – when you select the remote click on the panel and a picture of a cartoon face will be there – put the eyebrow in the missing spot. There is also the missing mouth, which is a bit hard to find.. Click on the panel after it has moved and move sort of closer to the face pic then zoom in and on the right corner of the panel will be a red spot – this is the missing mouth for the pic

11. juice says:

    January 2, 2008 at 2:50 am

    confused regarding mouse and picture and eyebrow. What eyebrow?
    Have everything else mentioned above.

12. Bogdan says:

    January 2, 2008 at 2:52 am

    Thanks, Gertrude, I foud those things.
    Show

    Still couldn’t find the remote control, but I managed to put the peeble-like thing on the puzzle in the window, but it still says it’s unfinished.

    My big question is “NOW WHAT?!” :-))

13. juice says:

    January 2, 2008 at 3:01 am

    Ty Gertrude! Finally found the mouth! Jeez it is tricky!

14. Gertrude says:

    January 2, 2008 at 3:03 am

    Bogdan, Show

    you need the black key to find the wireless remote. I don’t know what else to tell you… the key is near the bottom right corner of the screen with the 6 cupboards in it.

    but yeah… I don’t know what to do now.
    Show

    I finished the face puzzle, found the second half of the number code, used it on the calculator-like thing on the top right cupboard, and unlocked the cupboard with no keyhole, and pressed the blue button like 20 times, which did nothing.

    Now, I don’t know what to do :\

15. sab says:

    January 2, 2008 at 3:07 am

    i’ve finished the face puzzle. how did u get the switch on ?

16. Bogdan says:

    January 2, 2008 at 3:12 am

    I found
    Show

    the remote control by using the black key on the locked cabinets.
    After using the remote control on the window, still couldn’t fint the “mouth”. Instead the mouse moved under the little desk at the right of the dresser and left there the thing that was on its head. I could get that thing and, examining it, I could remove the feathers and found a piece of paper with some numbers on it. I tried to enter those numbers at the safe in the locked cabinets, but it didn’t work. As the piece of paper looks like it’s been torn at one end, I think there should be another piece(s) to make the entire code.

17. Gertrude says:

    January 2, 2008 at 3:15 am

    Sigh. I’m tired, you guys. I’ll finish this tomorrow. Goodnight :D

18. Bogdan says:
