   First? Warm up your clicking finger. Apparently, the game designer thinks that pixel-hunting is a cure for boredom.

   Some useful items and their location Show

   Zoom on boxes (twice). Click above the smaller open box to see important instructions. Click just below the same box to get screwdriver. Look at corner with 3 bags, click on a horizontal board to their right and take fuse. Fix the electric plug to get some light. Zoom on lower part of bookcase (twice), click to the left of red box to get a small key (which doesn’t fit the toolbox). The next item is a bit difficult to find: notice the vertical rafter halfway between the bookcase and the toolbox – click just above it on the diagonal rafter to see something reddish which can’t be reached.

   That’s as far as I got.

   There’s a T-shirt stuck to the floor. Use Show

   screwdriver on its right corner to get a small saw. Zoom twice on the wire clothes dryer and use saw on right side of the lowest wire – the spot is reddish. Get the wire, click on it to view it and click again to create a hook at the end. Use the hooked wire to get the reddish thing (see previous posting), open it with the key, get crowbar.

   Stuck…

   @dg Show

   you’re done, just use the crowbar to open the attic floor hatch

   Well, you can use Show

   the small crowbar to open the toolbox and get a real BIG crowbar. Use that on the hatch and escape.

   NOTE: After each Step, there is a Link to an Image to help you show where to find Items/Areas that are hard to find!

   Walkthrough:

   Show

   1. Click on the Mirror to get some light!

   Image: None

   2. Move Twice Right! Click on the Boxes to zoom in. You see that there are 6 Boxes on the Pile of Box [3 on each Row]. Click on the Opening of the Top-Left box, to zoom in! From this view, look at the right-side of the Main Box, and you’ll see another one on a lower height. If you look at that Box’s Bottom-Middle part, and then just a bit more at the bottom, you’ll see something grey. Click to find a Screwdriver!

   Image: Box Opening, Screwdriver

   3. If you look at the Box, right to the Main box from this view, and then click on the empty floor, near the Top part of the Box, you’ll be zoomed into another place. Click on the Paper, remember it, and zoom out of the paper. Zoom out 3 times!

   Image: Empty Floor

   4. From this view, if you look at the most Left-Side of the screen, you’ll see some horizontal lines (bottom-top) on the wall [Wall on most Left-Side of screen]. From Bottom of that wall, count 4 Horizontal Lines upwards, and then stop. You’ll see a Dark Brown Horizontal Line on wall, unlike the others. Click on that Line, to zoom in! Look at the Top-Right corner of the Dark Brown line on wall, and you’ll see something Silver. Click to get a fuse, and zoom out!

   Image: Dark Brown Line

   5. Move Left! If look left to the Black Bags on the corner, you’ll see a grey Plug Socket. Click to zoom in! Click the Plug on floor, and use Screwdriver on both of the Screws. Change the wires as you saw on the Paper, or follow me:

   Click on the Bottom-Left Wire [Green/Yellow], and then click on Top Dot
   Click on the Bottom-Left Wire [Red], and then click on Bottom-Right Dot

   or

   The Correct Order Is:

   Top Dot = Green/Yellow Wire
   Bottom-Left Dot = Blue Wire
   Bottom-Right Dot = Red Wire

   Once done, put the Fuse on the Top-Right part of the Plug, and click the Green Arrow. Click on the Plug Socket to turn the Lights on, and finally zoom out!

   Image: Plug Socket, Plug Wires

   6. Move Right 3 Times! Click T-Shirt on floor, and click on it’s Bottom-Right part to flip it. Take the Silver thing, to get a Saw Blade, and zoom out!

   Image: None

   7. Click on the Drying Rack [Right to the T-Shirt], to zoom in. Click alot near the Bottom-Part of the Drying Rack, and you’ll be zoomed into it’s bottom-part. You see the Red/Orange mark on the Right-Side of the Metal Pipe. Use Saw Blade on that mark, to get the Metal Pipe, and zoom out twice!

   Image: Drying Rack

   8. Move Right! Click on the Shelf to zoom in. Click on the Yellow Books [2nd Level on Shelf], to zoom in. From this point of view, look at the Red Box below the Yellow Books. You see the Grey part on it’s Left-Side (not the grey part inside the Box, but the one on outside, left to the red part). Look at the Bottom-Left side of the Grey Part, and click a few times on that part to get a Key. Zoom out twice!

   Image: Key on Shelf

   9. You see the Vertical Line on Wall, above the Blue Box, on the Left-Side wall. You’ll also see that there are 4 of them. Click on the Top of the 3rd Vertical Line on wall from Left, to zoom into a secret part. Click the Metal Pipe in your Inventory, and click on it’s right end-part (the one which doesn’t have a red/orange mark), to bend it and get a hook. Use the Hook on the Red thing, to get a Makeup Bag. Click on the Makeup Bag, and use Key to unlock it. Take the Hair Clip from inside [Hairclip is right to where the Makeup bag’s Keyhole is], and zoom out!

   Image: Vertical Line, Hairclip

   10. Click on the Blue Box, and use Hairclip on the Keyhole to unlock it. Take the Crowbar, and zoom out! Move twice Left, and click on the Underground door to zoom in. Use Crowbar on it’s ring to open, and click inside Underground door to Escape!

   Image: None

   This game wasn’t even fun to play with all the Pixelhunting. I want to play games where someone can think logically, and escape easily! Anyways, enjoy this Walkthrough!

   You guys are right…It was a little over-pixelated. However, I thought it was kinda neat(after leaning on Prid’s walkthrough lol).

    @Prid: very nice and very detailed WT! I agree with you about this game. It’s not really an “escape” game – it’s more “guess-where-the-pixel-is-and-build-up-your-clicking-finger-muscles-at-the-same-time” game. Zero puzzle-solving challenge.

11. Prid says:

    @dg: Thanks alot! But I couldn’t have beaten the game without your help. Keep the Hints coming, you’re helping alot of people with an understanding “mind” ;)

    And yeah, this game is “guess-where-the-pixel-is-and-build-up-your-clicking-finger-muscles-at-the-same-time”

12. dg says:

    @Prid: Thanks, but allow me to correct you: I don’t have an “understanding mind”. What I have is the essential illness required for this game, called “pixelitis”. By definition, it’s an obsessive-compulsive mental disorder that forces a person to check every pixel in every scene… :)

    Thanks for the walkthrough, Prid and especially the images. I personally think it should be compulsory for the pointer to turn into a hand when you’re on a hotspot.

    hey guys… is not that bad……

    Sorry guys,

    I didn’t mean to make it so much of a pixel hunt. Everyone who tested it seemed to find the stuff right away. Maybe your screens are too small. :P

    Will bear in mind for my next game, and @dg sorry, yeah there wasn’t much problem solving involved in this one. It was more a linear find and solve rather than putting multiple things together cleverly to achieve the next goal. I’ll make my next one a little more logically challenging.

    @Dom: I really appreciate your making the effort to read our comments and respond! I only wish some other game designers would do this. I hope you were not offended by these comments – my exaggerations were meant to be humorous. About the screen size: I think that when you design the game you see a full-size screen, but what the player sees is a really small window, sometimes on a notebook.

    The problem, as I see it, and it’s been noted by others, is that the cursor doesn’t change over a hot spot. Another problem in some games (not yours) is that when you select an item, you have to drag it while pressing the mouse button, and if the item is not meant to work where you tried it, you have to reselect it. Such problems take all the fun out of the game. Typical examples of such problems, and bugs galore on top of that, not to mention bad navigation, are games by 123Bee.

    I’m looking forward to your future games!

    @dg,

    I actually design the game so the cursor doesn’t change when hovering over an item. I find it makes the game too easy otherwise. Sorry for not replying earlier, haven’t been back to this thread.

    Will be releasing a new escape game this week. Look out for Shed Escape. :)
