   Here’s hints for how to do some of the puzzles. Note that a precise walkthrough would be difficult, but trial-and-error would not take too long to get you to the right solutions.

   Another note: You have to do the puzzles in order, because doing one opens the ability to do the next.

   Turning on the lightbulbs:
   Show

   -The goal of the puzzle is to light all the bulbs. You need to connect the colored button at the top to the same colored bulb at the bottom. The handles on the left will move the yellow lines so that you have an easier time lining them up. Once you’ve lit one bulb, you don’t need to keep the path going to light the next one.
   -Once you’ve got them all lit, back out and notice that all the other bulbs in the room have lit up.

   Red Bulb puzzle:
   Show

   -Click the white panel below the red bulb to get another puzzle – the “LODESTONE” Puzzle. Notice that there are varying numbers of letters showing up. Keep track of the number of letters. Click around in the grid above the letters and note which colors match which letters, as well. You should end up with this information:
   L: 2, dark blue
   O: 4, red
   D: 3, green
   E: 5, yellow
   S: 1, red
   T: 0, cyan
   O: 4, green
   N: 6, cyan
   E: 5, dark blue

   Grid puzzle (tunnel area, after car):
   Show

   -Click the metal panel to uncover it. The goal is to put the letters from the LODESTONE puzzle into the right row (by number) and in the right color – and to have nothing else show up on the screen.
   -This is kind of tricky. The brown strips have holes at strategic locations. The goal is to line up a hole from a vertical and horizontal strip over the right letter. In the end, your screen will look like this (X is a covered area):

   XXXTX
   XSXXXXX
   XXXXXLX
   XXXDXXX
   XOXOXXX
   XXEXXEX
   XXXNX

   -Press the button in the lower right after lining this all up and back out once.
   -The panel on the left will now open, although we don’t have the clues to finish it yet.

   Green Bulb Building puzzle
   Show

   -Click the switch at the top so it points left. Click the white circle at the bottom right so it’s on the right side. Now you’ve got to figure out the order to press the other items around the central “portal”. When you press them in the right order, they light up green squares on the portal.

   9 5 2 6

   1 portal 8

   7 3 4

   -After completing the puzzle, the astrological symbol for Uranus shows up.

   Cyan Bulb Sunken Ship Puzzle:
   Show

   -Click the dark circle to remove the metal plate
   -The goal is to get the rod from the left to extend to the orange rod on the right. You can move the pieces in the middle up and down with the big and little knobs on the right. When a hole lines up with the rod on the left, move it over with the knob on the left.
   -When you get the rod all the way across, the symbol for Neptune shows up.

   Yellow(?) Bulb Greenhouse Puzzle:
   Show

   -The goal here is two-fold: Create a picture in the background and line up the symbols correctly in the foreground. When you click a square in the puzzle, it will swap out with one of the squares on the right side.
   -Notice that the colors don’t seem to nicely line up from row to row. That’s ok; just try to make the picture line up. It will end up looking like a house.
   -Once you’ve finished it correctly, the symbol for Saturn shows up.

   I’ve got a screenshot of the final image for this one… Any suggestions where I can upload it so people can see it?

   Other Notes:
   Show

   -The panel next to the grid puzzles has the symbols (from left to right) for Earth, Mars, Pluto, and Venus. The left button under each selects a color and the right button selects and number.
   -The Blue (?) Bulb puzzle seems to need a 9-letter password to start. No idea what it is, though.
   -We are missing symbols for Mercury and Jupiter. Most likely, the Blue Bulb puzzle will get us one of those. But is there another puzzle out there yet?

   Anyone have ideas for these?

   where the heck do you click the metal panel to uncover the horizontal bars? I assume you mean the mottled colored panel not the panel with the handle.

    This Walkthrough I found on online games no name posted for maker. I hope this is not posted to soon I don’t like to spoil the fun but I had lot’s for trouble with this game I could never do it with out some help

    Walkthrough:

    Show

    Click on the tunnel above the car
    Click into the dark tunnel area on the next screen
    Click the gate
    Click the building nearest to you with the red light on top.
    Click the brown panel to the left of the cylinder with the red lamp on top[spoiler]

    To solve first puzzle :
    [spoiler]- You have to light each lamp by making a connection from a coloured button to it’s corresponding light.
    - Click each yellow line to rotate it through it’s path options.
    - Use the handles on the right to turn each column of pathways in one go. Use a combination of column and individual turns to make paths.
    - When you have a pathway, press the button to light the lamp. The light is then lit, you don’t have to connect ALL the pathways at the same time, once a lamp is lit you can break it’s pathway to create another.
    - When you have lit all the lamps, exit the screen.You will see all the big lamps are now lit.
    Click on the white cylinder with the red lamp on the top.
    To solve this puzzle, you must make a dot appear in each vertical column by clicking the columns in the right order. Use trial and error. Hint : The sequence involves clicking each column once only
    6,2,9,1,3,8,5,4,7

    You will be rewarded with a symbol. Note this down, alongside the colour of the lamp above this puzzle.
    At this point, notice that some letters line up with particular colours in the grid, this may help you later.
    Red=O and S
    Yellow=E
    Green=D and O
    Blue=? and N
    Purple=L and E

    Click at the top of the staircase on the left of the screen
    Note the 2 coloured lights
    Click the doorway to the building
    Click on the hole in the floor
    Click the bottom of the steps
    Click in the middle of the screen in the “panel” of the building nearest to you
    Click the hole in the rusty metal
    To solve this puzzle, you have to substitute pieces of the picture for that which is the top of the 2 on the right (i will call this R1). The bottom of the 2 on the right (R2) is the next one you in line to be used, like in Tetris.
    Hint : To move a piece that’s already in place, click on it. It will be replaced by the next piece jump to place R2.
    You can then click on R1 to switch R2 to R1, then click where you actually want it to go in the puzzle.
    (Alternatively just click the spot you want it to go into twice). You will always be placing R1 in the spot that you click on.

    When you have it, you will hear a “clang”. The symbol which appears 3 times over R1 and R2 is your symbol.
    Write it down and exit.
    Exit five times until you are back in the sea with the buildings on stilts.
    Click on the boat. Note the colour of the lamp above the boat.
    Click near the middle of the screen.
    Click the hole in the rusty metal. This puzzle requires you to move the poles up and down using the big and small wheels on the right, until the gaps in them are level with the metal bar on the left.
    Hint :They do not all have to be lined up at once. Line up the first one first and lock into place by turning the blue wheel on the left. Then move onto bar 2, etc etc.
    B = Big wheel, S=Small wheel. r=click on the right hand side of the wheel, l=click the left
    1. Bl Bl Sr Sr Sr. Blue wheel to lock
    2. Br Sl Sl Sl Br. Lock in.
    3. Sl Sl Sl Br. Lock in
    4. Br Sl Sl Sl Br Sl. Lock in
    5. Sl Sl Sl Br. Lock in

    You will get another symbol. Make a note of this alongside the colour of the lamp above this puzzle.
    Exit twice to the sea again.
    Click the building on the right hand side (green lamp).
    Click on the picture ahead of you

    This puzzle involves lighting lights on the radar in the middle.
    [spoiler]First you must turn on the system by clicking the brown rusty handle at the top centre. Then on the black and white circle buttons bottom right. You will hear a sound. Now go round and click each funny shape until you get a green light lit. Once you have one, click another funny shape. If the green light goes out that was the wrong second choice! Click the one that made the 1st light go on again and then choose a different second shape. Keep repeating until you have the correct sequence and all 9 green lights are lit.

    You will hear a sound and be given a symbol. Note this down, with the colour of the lamp above the building you are in. The radar grid may help you in another puzzle. Make a copy of the grid with the positions of the lights.
    Exit to the sea.
    Go into the middle building and up the stairs
    Go into the building, and click on the window (lefthand side)
    To do this puzzle you need a 9 letter password. Where have you seen something that could help up till now?
    The puzzle with 1 dot in each column on the grid above some letters.
    LODES?ONE. What letter could fit there to make a word?
    LODESTONE
    Type the password into the box to replace the lines(delete all the lines). Dont press enter as it doesnt work, just click the hole below it to gain access.
    This puzzle has no answer, but will help you in a further puzzle. Note down some of the pairs of symbols and their total and see if you can work out the value of each symbol from these. You can generate as many combinations as you like by clicking the left hand button. When you think you have all the values, you can exit to the sea.
    Exit twice more and click at the columns to the left hand side of the scene.
    Click on the brown box to the right. Click the rusty metal to reveal your puzzle.
    The aim of this puzzle is to generate a password. Use the silver buttons to slide the columns and rows along and generate a password.
    1)You have seen this word before.
    2) It is 9 letters
    3)Your notes from the “1 dot per column” puzzle will help you
    I havent yet worked out a sequence to solve the puzzle so for now trial and error will get you there.
    You need to get a letter in each of the places where a green light was lit in the radar puzzle. You will end up with the letters for the word that was the password to the flags puzzle, where the letters showing match those you noted down from the “1 dot per column” puzzle (Red=O and S etc)
    When you have generated the word correctly, click the purplish dial. You will hear a metallic clang, not a sound like a gun cocking.
    Exit and click on the handle of the grey box. CLick the puzzle to zoom in.
    Now you will bring together all the information you have gained from past puzzles. Look at the symbols.
    The 2 buttons below each symbol activate the dials. Use the right button to cycle through numbers, and the left to cycle through colours.
    You should have worked out the numbers already from the flag pairs.
    Circle with cross in=0
    Male symbol=2
    P with a tail=1
    Female symbol=3
    Answer from left to right =0213

    For the colours you need to check back with the puzzle you just did to the right of this safe. (Thanks to Aurora for the following solution)
    You will notice the grid has reverted back to its original permutation. Hint : Look at the number corresponding to each symbol and match it to the colour(s) in that row.
    Look at your symbol values. There is one symbol that equals 6, it’s puzzle had a light blue light, looking on the grid, there is a light blue letter in the row for 6. There are two symbols that equal 5, one had a yellow light puzzle and the other a dark blue/purple light, oh look! there is a yellow and a dark blue letter in the row for 5….
    0 = light blue
    1 = red
    2 = dark blue
    3 = green

    Go back and enter the colours and numbers into the safe.
    Press the purpley dial in the centre………..you will get a loug clang if you are right.
    Exit twice until you are back at the car
    Click on the pole to move it to the back of the car. You will hear a scraping noise.
    Go forward, then click on the columns and back to the safe.
    Click on the handle, then the smaller handle above the puzzle.
    Click on the scroll.
    Done!

    I cannot solve the basketweaving puzzle for the life of me. (What Gena called the “grid puzzle” above.) I know what it’s supposed to end up looking like, but that doesn’t help!

    Also, I can’t enter the password for the purple puzzle. Do I have to solve the effin’ basketweave before it’ll let me do that?

    I think I need to go do something more useful now.

    It does seem that you need to solve things in a specific order. So, you can’t do the grid puzzle (aka “basketweaving puzzle” – I like that name) until you’ve turned on the light bulbs and looked at the thing under the red bulb.

    Victoria, did you actually go through the whole puzzle? If so, I could use some help on the dark blue bulb puzzle – the one that needs a password. I tried the one your walkthrough suggested, but it is not working. Is there something that needs to be done first?

    Anyone actually finish this game?
