Interview Room Escape

Categories: Asian Languages, Flash, Free, Games, Online, Room Escape

Interview Room Escape is a very nice looking Japanese Room Escape game, in which you find yourself locked in an interview Room. Look around, collect items that you can use and eventually escape from this interview room!

If you like games from IDAC or from Neutral, you will certainly like this one!

Unfortunately, it is all written in Japanese and you will have to be – VERY – patient while the game is loading (over 9Mb)…

Have fun!

Look on the bottom right side of the hats. The symbols match those on each slot on the blue hatrack. Also, you’ll need to put a sticker on one of them. (the sticker is on under the lower poster (the green one) above the left couch. Anyway put the helmets in the slots they go in. So the symbols on the hats are in the correct slot (I hope that made sense)

Complete walkthrough
Show

Important note: the location of items changes from game to game, so instead of telling you where to find things, I’ll tell you where to LOOK. You’ll be collecting number “cards”, hard hats, a fire extinguisher, keys, and a few odds and ends.

Get the HARD HAT from the coffee table in front of you. LOOK under the
“no smoking” sign, and under the table.

Turn left. LOOK under the sofa cushions and behind the back of the sofa (click just above the sofa near the middle). Lift the tray and check its underside for the SQUARE NUMBER. LOOK under the sofa and behind its back corner.

Turn left again and zoom in on the plant. Click the plant until a leaf falls, revealing a switch on the wall. Zoom in on the switch and click it once to turn off the fan.

Back out twice, then click the green banner on the wall (above the sofa). Click the right edge and get the STICKER.

Back out, then turn back to the right. Zoom in on the fan on the wall. Lift the grille and get the GREY KEY. LOOK on top of the fan.

Turn to the right sofa. LOOK under the cushions, under the tray, under the sofa, behind the back corner, and behind the back.

Turn right. Get the HARD HAT from the rack. Look at it in your inventory and click it until it turns. Put the sticker on the side. Check the name on the sticker – it’s the two characters in the bottom middle box. Zoom in on the rack and check the name labels along the bottom to see where the hat goes. Check the name on the other hat in your inventory and put it in place as well.

Look at the framed certificate on the cabinet. Lift the certificate and zoom in on the pictures behind it. On the big picture that looks like a safety seminar, note the order of the panels behind the guy on the podium. Zoom out, then zoom in on that picture thingy on the other corner of the cabinet. Switch the panels around until the first four match the picture, then if needed switch the last two panels, until you get a little cut scene showing that something opened.

Zoom out and LOOK in the drawers on the right. Get the HARDHAT from the bottom one. Also LOOK at both ends of the cabinet, at the plant on top of it, behind the framed certificate, and the security camera on the ceiling. (There should be a piece of paper taped to the left end of the cabinet, which tells you something about how the number panels will be used.) Put the hat from the drawer in the proper place on the rack.

Turn right. Zoom in on the locker and get the CLIPBOARD from the right side. Use the grey key to open the locker. Get the fourth HARD HAT. LOOK above the locker and in the gap between it and the wall on the left.

Examine the clipboard in your inventory. Release the latches and remove the paper. Examine the paper and use the star picture on it to get the STAR NUMBER.

Turn back to the left and put the last hard hat in place. The puzzle behind the block poster opens. Solve the puzzle. Get the GOLD KEY and note the strange spot on the leg of the coffee table in the picture.

Turn left to the real coffee table and click the spot indicated; get the SCREWDRIVER.

Turn back to the cabinet and use the gold key to open the drawers on the left. Get the RED STAND, then click the false bottom and get the GREEN KEY. Use the green key to open the middle doors. Get the RED WHEEL, the TEMPERATURE SENSOR (the black thing with the red button) and the LOCKOUT TAG (hanging from the red knob).

Turn around twice until you’re facing the door. Zoom in on the spot on the left with the yellow tape around it. Put the red stand in the square, then put the fire extinguisher in it. Zoom out once and look up above the extinguisher at the red sign that appeared. Get the GREEN KEY. Zoom in on the bottom of the sign for the TRIANGLE NUMBER.

Zoom out and turn left. Zoom in on the pipes. Use the green key to open the lock on the red wheel cover and remove it. LOOK inside the wheel cover (in your inventory). Put the other wheel in place. Examine the lockout tag in your inventory. Click the little red dot in the middle, then click the white part so you get a blue character instead of a red one. Flip over the tag and note the temperature taped to the back. Zoom out and hit the red button on the temperature gauge to turn it on. Click the wheels on the pipes until the temperature matches the number on the lockout tag. (There’s a little panel behind the middle two pipes that says what each turn of the wheel does, but it doesn’t really help – just try the wheels and see what happens.)

When you’ve gotten the right temperature, turn left to the cabinet. Open the middle doors and turn the red knob. The readout should say “READY”. Then open the bottom left drawer. Put the temperature sensor in the top part, put the lockout tag into the slot, and turn it. This (finally!) opens the glass enclosure.

Turn to the enclosure. Get the LIGHTER from the top of the red box and the BROOM from the stand. LOOK underneath everything, behind the stand, and in the red box. Also look at the underside of the blue & white no smoking sign for the CIRCLE NUMBER.

Zoom in on the bottom of the clock and remove the screw. Open the cover of the clock (you’ll need to zoom out once) and press the button. LOOK underneath the spotlight. Zoom out and LOOK up at the far track light.

Open the locker and hang the broom in it. Open the secret panel on the left and get the SIGN.

Go to the door and zoom in on the panel. Put in your small number plates in the six spots on top. If you don’t have all of them, go look around the room some more. Use the numbers to put in today’s date in year-month-day order, BUT put in 21 for the year, NOT 09. No, I don’t know why.

Turn around and open the right top drawer. Press the top red button. You should get a cut scene of the pole appearing behind the barricade.

Turn right and get the pole that appeared. Look at the sign in your inventory and click it until it flips around. Put in the pole. Zoom in on the stand (which used to contain the broom) and click it with the sign until the pole slides in place.

Zoom out and turn right. Turn off the lights with the switch to the left of the door. Turn back to the left and notice the illuminated spot on the ground. Turn the lights back on and return to the spot. Click it to lift the floor tile and take the third TRANSPARENCY.

Look at each of the other transparencies in your inventory and unroll them. Then look at the clipboard and put in all three transparencies. You’ll get an equation using the shape numbers you’ve found. Plug in your numbers, remember the rules of mathematics, and you should get a 4-digit number.

Go to the door and put in your large number plates, then plug in the 4-digit number you found. Turn around to the top right drawer and press the bottom red button; you should get a cut scene of the door, which is now open.

Turn to the door, click the doorknob, and wait for the ending scenes.

As far as I can tell, you get the same bad ending regardless of what you do – Show

it doesn’t matter whether you smoke the cigarette that’s in your inventory from the beginning. (That’s that blue box in the bottom right corner.)

Cigarette clue

Show

The red box with the five holes in the top will open up and you can put the cigarette into it. I unfortunately had already burnt the cigarette and it was totally out when I put it into the red box so I can only assume you need to put the lit cigarette into the box?
Raika says:

I got a good ending.

Show

I didn’t light the cigarette–in fact, I didn’t even take it out of the box

Show

I turned the fan back on before leaving.

Also, I’m not sure if this made a difference, but…

Show

I completed it fairly quickly so maybe my character had time to go to the restroom. :P

The first two, I’m pretty sure make a difference as

Show

Look at all the “No Smoking” signs.

Since this seems to be a test of some kind for the job, I just felt that I should leave the room how I found it as much as the game would let me (it won’t let me put everything back, or put the shielf back up, but it will let me turn the fan on.

:P
Show

So yeah, the good ending shows the character you play as and the other guy shaking hands
Raika says:

February 2, 2009 at 3:37 pm

Oh, and the ending only seems to show if you use the main link rather than the alternate link–at least this seems to be the case in FireFox.

The full walkthrough mentions not knowing why you need to enter in Show

21 instead of 09 for the year

The reason for that is because Show

you have to use the Japanese era name calendar, not the Anno Domini calendar. You know this by looking at the characters beside the two-digit entry. I compared those to the ones found in the Wikipedia entry for the Japanese calendar systems, and came back with needing to use the era name calendar. Converting 2009 yields Heinsei 21.
