Casual Gameplay Escape

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

Casual Gameplay Escape is the first Room Escape game sponsored by JayisGames – Edit: Jay mentioned that it was internally developed there, with more games by JIG coming soon :-)

The game was developed by Sean Hawkes.

This is the first game of this type created by the author, and it is quite unusual: “There is no inventory; in fact, there are no objects to collect whatsoever. There are no codes to crack, no hotspots to click around madly for. Instead, what is presented is a series of puzzles—some straightforward, others not so much—that you must solve in order to unlock the door.”

Do you like this one?

Have fun!

   Crossword: 1) Clue (not really necessary): Show

   Third poster from tangram-like puzzle, you see the words you have to form.

   2) Words:Show

   “play”, “casual”, “games” (and I think there was also “jay”).

   You can easily figure out the words without the clue. Also, the Internet Anagram Server may come in handy ;)

   NetMonster, Show

   I know the words, it’s the putting everything in place that gives me the trouble.

3. Lala says:

   August 27, 2008 at 9:18 am

   Also Show

   I don’t understand how to make all of the words at once, because we need another “a”. Or I don’t understand how to do it.

4. Lala says:

   August 27, 2008 at 9:24 am

   I am so stupid.

5. Lala says:

   August 27, 2008 at 9:26 am

   The lights beside the door are all green. Does this mean that I have finished the tank puzzle without knowing?!? Because nothing happened after each (of the 2 billion times!) I played it.

   was I any help to you with the stickman?

7. Martin says:

   Lala
   I am still not geting any where with stick man eather the laser or the last ball get me every time

8. Sue says:

   August 27, 2008 at 9:57 am

   how do you get letters in crossword grid or is that not what you are supposed to do? Help!!

9. Lala says:

   Martin, Show

   make sure that while stickman is going to the right he has to gun on the way, that’s how he shoots both of them. First read this, than make the arrows, because I am trying to remember thinking of the path of stickman.
   So, you live the first arrow as it is (stickman jumps and goes to the right). Make the next arrow up (he will need it later). He proceeds to the right (second screen, middle), uses the gun. The next arrow should be pointing to the left (thus you avoid turning on the lasers). He goes left, jumps (first screen already). The arrow that should be a gun (just to make stickman slower in order to avoid the laser). The arrows that are bottom left (first screen) are fine. The arrow before last at bottom right (first screen) should be up, because there is a block coming down. Now, the good thing is that the first laser in the third screen is not on, so there the arrow should be a gun (this gun, with the one from the second screen are enough to kill both balls). So, after you pass the block from the first screen, you go up,up, until you are under the first laser that is not turned on, so you are safe. The the arrows in the third screen should be pointing up.

   I am sorry if I missed something in the first comment. If I am still missing something, I can restart the game and try again and see exactly what I did.

    Sue,

    You chose the right way immediately. Show

    Some of the words are vertical, some are horizontal. You just have to find the right place for each of them and there are not many combinations, so it will not take much time. The words should cross each other.

11. Martin says:

    Yes Martin, I just realized that :(
    I restarted it and everything was solved.
    Read the second comment I sent (No. 59), maybe it will be more helpful. Maybe I missed something in the first one.

16. Sue says:

    August 27, 2008 at 10:31 am

17. Martin says:

20. Sue says:

    August 27, 2008 at 11:06 am

    ok I am so lost. I have a blue grid with an up and down arrow on the right side. The up and down arrows do nothing. If I click on the blue squares they just highlight. I so no white buttons at the bottom of the grid and no letters to use. Any other suggestions?

29. tusa says:

    I’m playing. I’m stuck on the 3rd stickman. Can’t figure it out. Also stuck on the back wall with the rows that turn green, yellow and red.

    Nikki, Are you at the beginning?

30. Nikki says:

    August 27, 2008 at 3:38 pm

    Well no wonder! I was missing Show

    the note on the floor by the door.

    No wonder I couldn’t activate the puzzles!

31. Nikki says:

    August 27, 2008 at 3:39 pm

    just started on the poster puzzles. took me forever to figure out how to start them.

32. tusa says:

    August 27, 2008 at 3:58 pm

    August 27, 2008 at 6:26 pm

    what do you do after youve finished all the games i defeated all of them on the tile screen and i dont know how to get out i think it has something to do with the posters but i dont know what

37. Reka says:

    August 27, 2008 at 6:35 pm

    Puzzle with four rows of numbers and a strange shape on the right: Show

    The clue is the poster with the pair of dice – the strange shape is that of a cube “laid out flat”.

    If that isn’t enough, Show

    remember that the numbers on opposite faces of a six-sided die always add up to 7.

    More hints: Show

    You need to move the rows of numbers to the right (using the arrows) until you have the correct set of numbers in the highlighted boxes. If you mess up, click the checkmark in the top left corner.

    And for the truly stuck: Show

    x 4 x
    1 5 x
    x 3 6
    x 2 x

    For the tank puzzle:
    How to play Show

    Use your arrow keys to move, spacebar to fire. (Yeah, it seems obvious, but it took me a while.)

    The clue Show

    is the poster that says “peace tank half off” – this is a peaceful tank, get it? :)

    So, Show

    you can shoot rockets if you’d like, but make sure you don’t hit the spaceship, and obviously, make sure it doesn’t hit you.

    Note: Show

    Once you’ve gotten the peace symbol and the flashing radial lines, you’ve won – ignore the “Start” that still shows up in the middle. (Yeah, seems obvious again, but I know I thought I’d simply reached the next level. I kept trying all sorts of combinations of hitting the ship, not hitting the ship, firing off a specific number of rockets, trying to kill the ship in half the alloted time, etc., and was getting very frustrated until I happened to turn around to the door and noticed I had one more green light.)

    Finally out and LOVED that game! A proper puzzler! Does anyone know of any similar games? Thanks

40. Reka says:

    August 28, 2008 at 2:05 pm

    Ok, so you’re in a room. First, have a look around.
    Front wall Show

    There’s a door with a lightswitch next to it, a panel of 8 red lights, and a note on the floor. There’s also a projector on the ceiling, plugged into the outlet to the left of the door. The note says that it doesn’t contain any clues; of course that means that there’s probably a huge hint somewhere on the page, but we don’t know enough yet to figure it out.

    Right wall Show

    Turning right, there’s a wall with three gray panels with little red lights above them. Can’t seem to do anything with this wall yet.

    Show

    If you’re really observant, you’ll notice that the red light on the left is brighter than the others.

    Back wall Show

    Turn right again. There’s a wall with square paneling, with a 10×10 area highlighted and up/down arrows to the right of it. Hm, the panels in the highlighted area can be pressed in. I wonder what the pattern is… wait, I’m recalling something like this…

    Left wall Show

    Turn right again. This wall looks identical to the one opposite – three gray panels, three red lights.

    You now have enough information to get started on at least one puzzle. Have you figured out the clue?
    Hint: Show

    it has to do with the letter by the door, and the back wall.

    Reveal: Show

    The pattern of red squares on the letter tells you which panels to press in on the wall.

    For the truly stuck: Show

    press the x’s.
    xooooooooo
    oooooooooo
    ooxooooxox
    oooxooooxo
    ooxooxoooo
    ooooooxooo
    oxoooxoooo
    xooooooooo
    oxoooooooo
    xooooooooo

    Ok, so now Show

    there’s some sort of faint …something visible on the back wall, and pressing the up/down arrows makes other faint things appear. But why is it so washed-out looking?

    Reveal: Show

    Oh, of course! Projectors work better if you turn the lights off!

    Turn around and Show

    hit the light switch, then turn back to… wait a sec, is that a _green_ light above the left panel? And now the panels are “clickable”, although only the one under the green light will open. Lemme check the opposite wall… yep, same thing.

    Ok, so now you have a choice of 8 puzzles to solve. Show

    The pipes one on the back wall looks easy enough – just form a path from start to end, right? Clicky clicky clicky… huh? Doesn’t work. I guess we’re missing some sort of clue. The other puzzles on the back wall seem equally… obtuse. The ones on the side walls might be easier.

    Right wall
    Hint: Show

    if you build a house, you need to give it a door; windows are optional.

    Reveal: Show

    For each level, you need to use some or all of the pieces to completely fill the outlined shape, making sure each time that there’s a door on the ground floor. You’ll only use all of the pieces on the third level – the first level, leave out the window, and the second level, leave out the smiley faces.

    When you finish, Show

    the panels close up again, and the lights above flash green & red. Click each panel to reveal a poster.

    Left wall
    Show

    This is a bit more difficult. You need to get your stick figure to the exit without killing him. He’s a single-minded fellow – he’ll keep going in the direction he started unless he hits an arrow telling him otherwise. The arrows can make him go right, left, up (jump), or shoot a gun. The gun is useful for getting rid of those plasma blobs, and also for delaying the guy so he doesn’t go running straight into a laser beam. Make sure you’ve set all the arrows correctly before clicking the guy to get him started.

    Level 1 reveal: Show

    after jumping up and shooting the blob, go left.

    Level 1 for the truly stuck: Show

    arrow next to the guy should point up, next arrow to the right should be a gun, the arrow below the gap (on the platform) should point left, and leave everything else as is.

    Level 2 reveal: Show

    your path will be a z-shape.

    Level 2 for the truly stuck: Show

    (going left to right, top to bottom, parentheses mean optional – if all goes well, he won’t get to that arrow): up, gun; left; right, gun; up, (up).

    Level 3 reveal: Show

    you don’t need to go into that area with the blob in the top of the middle panel. Your path will once again be sort of z-shaped. Sort of. Don’t forget that you can make the guy shoot off a gun to delay him. Also don’t forget that the last arrow before the exit needs to point up, otherwise he’ll get stuck in that ditch. This means that he needs to shoot one of the blobs from further away.

    Level 3 for the truly stuck: Show

    (l-to-r, t-to-b) right, (right), (right); (right), (right); gun, up, gun, left, gun, up; up, up; right, right, up; up, (up), gun, up.

    Hint: Show

    “no connections needed”

    Reveal: Show

    turn the pieces so that none of them are connected to anything.

    For the truly stuck: Show

    There’s more than one solution, but this’ll work. (Not showing start & end, since you can’t turn them.)

    Clue: Show

    D-Jay B poster

    Hint: Show

    there’s a pattern faintly visible above (and under) the words “club seal”

    Reveal: Show

    going from left to right, you need to light up the following number of squares in each column:
    1 2 3 4 2 5 3 4 2 1

    For the truly stuck: Show

    columns 1-10 left to right, rows a-f bottom to top.
    3b 4c 5d 6b 7e 7e 7e 8c 8c 9d 10a 10a

    Grid with letters
    Show

    Pressing the white buttons switches the corresponding two rows or columns. You can move a row down by pressing the button to the left and slightly below it, then the button below that, and so on until the row is where you want it. Adjust as needed for reversing direction or moving columns. There’s a reset button on the top right.

    Clue: Show

    Casual Gameplay poster

    Hint: Show

    crossword puzzle; to some extent, also the words on the poster.

    Reveal: Show

    the crossword puzzle on the poster reveals the shape you’re aiming for. If you look at the letters, you’ll see that you can spell “casual” and “gameplay”, with some letters left over. Working it out on paper (and numbering according to crossword rules, i.e. top to bottom, then right to left), the words are: 1. games, 2. play, 3. jay, 4. casual.

    For the truly stuck:
    Rows: Show

    leave the ‘g’ where it is. Switch rows until you get the ‘a’ in that column under the ‘g’ (it’s the row with an ‘l’, ‘p’, ‘y’, and the aforementioned ‘a’). Switch a couple of rows to get the ‘m’ under the ‘a’. Now get the ‘e’ under the ‘m’, then the ‘s’ under it in turn. Bring the ‘y’ up two rows so it’s underneath the ‘a’ and the ‘j’.

    Columns: Show

    find the row with the ‘c’. Move it to the right of all the other letters (well, except for the ‘p’). There should already be an ‘a’ to the right of the ‘c’; if not, find the column with an ‘l’ and an ‘a’ and move it there. Next comes the column that says ‘games’, then the column with a ‘y’ and a ‘u’, then the column that says ‘jay’, and that leaves the column with an ‘l’ for the end.

    Two sets of 3×5 grids, one red, one yellow.
    Clue: Show

    JIG Soda poster

    Hint: Show

    Notice how the ‘J’ (and only the ‘J’) is made up of little squares?

    Reveal: Show

    You need to light up the letter ‘J’ on the yellow part. The hard part is that the red squares count top to bottom, while the yellow squares count left to right, so it’s not just a matter of forming a ‘J’ on the red part and hitting the copy button.

    For the truly stuck: Show

    click the x’s on the red part, then press the button.
    oxo
    oox
    xox
    oxx
    oxx

    Four rows of numbers, red shape outlined on the right
    Show

    Move the rows to the right with the arrows; check (or reset if they’re wrong) with the checkmark.

    Clue: Show

    Wooty-Tooty poster

    Hint: Show

    red dice

    Reveal: Show

    the red shape is a cube “flattened out”; arrange the numbers 1-6 in it so that if the shape is “folded up”, the numbers will be arranged as on a die. Remember that numbers on opposite faces need to add up to 7.

    For the truly stuck: Show

    1 5 x
    x 3 6
    x 2 x

    Tank & spaceship game
    Show

    Arrow keys to move, spacebar to shoot

    Clue: Show

    H&O’s Clothes poster

    Hint: Show

    “peace tank” (get it?)

    Reveal: Show

    You need to survive for 30 seconds without getting fried, but don’t shoot the spaceship. (You can fire off rockets if you’d like, just make sure they don’t hit anything.)

    For the truly stuck: Show

    oh, come now. :)

    Once you’ve Show

    turned all 8 lights green (by solving all 8 puzzles), the panel by the door starts flashing, and you can

    open the door and exit.

    I’m finding that my biggest (and really only) peeve with this game is that I can’t REPLAY it — it saves my progress, so if I go back, everything’s already solved. Anyone know what the cookie I need to delete is called?
