SingAlong Minoto 6
to the tune of "Me and My Shadow"
Me and my shadow
Tiptoe through Minoto's World
This week it's strange though
I can't even find that cute Bread Girl
But that's OK with me
There's lots to see,
And lots to do,
And new features, too!
Pink screwdriver is our first find
And we take it gleefully
A squirrel can use it on the sign
To remove a signboard soft white "T"
This changes "Terminal"
But we don't mind
'Cuz "erminal"
Is fine for this sign
So let's proceed to the next scene
Where we find a blue T-shirt
It isn't that clean
Neither is the pink T in the dirt
So let's take all these shirts
Pink, white and blue
And clean the dirt
Until they are new
Because the whirlpool of washing
Machine twisted them into
A rope of pink, blue, red and green
I know just who to give this rope to!
Cliff-dwelling monkey copes
With hammer strong
We throw the rope
And pull him along
To safety and then he gives us
Strong hammer in gratitude
We will take it just
Not to do so would be really rude!
Let's take the hammer back
To sun in ice
And have a crack
At ice once or twice
To set the sun free, free at last!
But he's still a weak small sun
Put him in fire so he can cast
Shadow to appear by balding one
The shadow is so fine
It comes along
With me and mine
Because it's my song!
We can let our shadow go play
With the one who's on the cliff
Then we'll get earphones
And give them to Doctor as a gift
The Yeti's heart will scare
The Doc who will
Fall off the chair
But Doc will smile still
But let's go back to the place where
Little elephant so sweet
Could use the Doc's chair
To reach the fruit that he wants to eat
And while he's perched atop
The Doctor's chair
An odd piece drops
It can't be repaired
But we can give it to Bunny
To use as a (*wink, wink*) "Throne"
Uh, oh! a water spout lifts the
Bunny and drops him back in his home
There are two mices there
And flowers, too
I sniff the air
And then go "A-choo!"
Now I can pick up a blue key
I know what this key goes to!
Near by the monkey
Is a house that's a big rocket, too.
When we unlock the door
The shadows queue
There's five (not four!)
They know what to do
They file into the big rocket
And take off for parts unknown
Thus leaving us behind to get
Delicious end, method of only one.

WRITING AS I PLAY:
as I begin to snoop around...I am directed to a note on the front door with the message *find the gsm of DOMK*...don't worry...continue to the red arrow and go through the door...find some electric scissors
follow the arrow to the left, then down a long corridor left at the strange machine and pick up some fabric plus read all the notes along the way...gsm of DOMK is explained in the note across from the fabric rolls
go back and check out strange machine and continue down the hall into an office and get some regular scissors from the waste basket...ok, looked at die-cut machine and am continuing on my way ;)

irishenigma
just because...I started writing as I played so here is the finale...haha!!!
after retrieving the scissors from the waste basket go to the strange machine...place the roll of DOMK *what the heck fabric is that* on the machine..push the button then cut fabric with electric scissors and again with regular scissors and get a small fabric swatch
- go back to the Die-Cut machine...make a doilie shape...zoom in on the scales and find out that the weight is 125
- well..from here you already read the formula for gsm so just do the math, go back to the door and enter the number in the keypad...pfttt!!!
and by the way...I am not going to tell you the math because you all have calculators and getting the answer will be very easy...lol!!!
enjoyed the author's first game...next game...let us explore and maybe tear our hair out a little ;) thank you Megi for posting this game...hope to see more from this creator!
16/5/10 19:57

Chef VS Panda
The World According to Minoto
or, why my real world friends look at me strangely when I try to explain this game to them
1. Frightening clowns, pandas with no table manners, chefs who can work magic with just a soup pot, little soldiers who secretly long to be priests, and pink bunnies can all get along together. Perhaps the rest of the world should pay attention!
2. Telephone receivers must have something attached. Unlike in the real world with cell phones, it is not possible to call only by this.
I'll bet in Minoto's world the automobile drivers pay better attention.
3. Clowns can hang out on park benches reading about the priesthood and not get arrested and carted away by the police. Minotoans obviously cherish their freedoms!
4. Pink bunnies climb trees and hop up and down on branches that once were hatchets. In the real world, it would take massive amounts of alcohol to make this happen.
5. In books of job change, sentences because of becoming the priest are written. In the real world, this would have to include quite a bit of legal advice and psychiatric counseling.
6. Little soldiers who are obviously distraught by their career choice can throw down their weapons, including the thin escutcheon, and magically transform immediately into priests. Or monks. Or something. In other words, love will always win over war. Pay attention, @RealWorld!!
7. Chefs who cook at roadside stands can use thin escutcheons to cover the soup pot and prevent the flavors from escaping. In the real world, they would have to get at least six extra permits to do this.
8. Pandas can spit out their food and still be lovable. Come to think of it, that's pretty much the same as it is in the real world.
9. Chef is so talented that a simple dip in his soup can change an IH heater (exclusive use!) into a black mousepad. Just try that in the real world, all you celebrity chefs!
10. The heater cum mousepad can not only cause an arrow on a computer screen to move, it can make it move right off the screen and onto your desk! Even Macs can't do that! Although they may be able to next week.
11. Cute little green puppies with hardhats are employed as traffic engineers, and they are always cheerful and helpful. Even when placing white arrows around towns for SSSG! Traffic engineers in the real world are often neither cute, nor cheerful, nor especially helpful. They do, however, wear hardhats.
12. Santa rides around in a large mail car and delivers cushions. In the real world, everyone knows that Santa rides around in a sleigh and no self-respecting child would accept so lame a present as a cushion. We're much more demanding than that in the real world.
13. Long hatchets can enjoy being jumped up and down on by pink bunnies. So much so that the hatchet will fall from the tree if the bunny jumps off in favor of a cushion. In the real world, this would be rated A for Adult Content
14. A delicious fruit, the seed of pepper, can result from bathing in the light of the sun, and this seed of pepper can make a soup taste so good that it causes the panda to shoot beams of light from his eyes and mouth. In the real world, anyone shooting beams of light from his eyes and mouth must be heavily sedated and monitored closely until the drugs wear off.
15. Finally, the panda that had eaten the chef's delicious dish seems to have been satisfied. And that makes everything right in the Minoto world. So right that it is the delicious end, and it is the only one method. Life is so much simpler in Minoto-land. One day I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me. But that's a story for another day.

Uncle's Old Times
SingALong Minoto Tribute
to the tune of "Maria" from West Side Story
The most beautiful sound I ever heard:
Minoto, Minoto, Minoto, Minoto...
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Minoto, Minoto, Minoto, Minoto...
Mi No To!
I've just played a game by Minoto!
No other escape game
Could ever mean the same
To me!
Minoto!
It's the game that we all love playing
It's a word that I just can't stop saying
Minoto!
I'll never stop playing Minoto!
still to come: Uncle Old Times analysis (I just couldn't stop singing Minoto!)
7/5/10 17:05
Uncle Old Time: Not A BedTime Story
What to make of a funny small man
Whose hair is done in a comb-over
A small man who nonetheless can
Cause roaring waterfalls to hover
Water hanging right there in mid-air?
This Uncle Old Time has misplaced
An elusive and forgotten thing,
Seems his memory has been erased
As he ages to Autumn from Spring
We should try helping him, if we dare
The squirrels are hiding, they're two,
Behind an enormous grey stone
The panda is in the scene, too
Although he is sitting alone
Awaiting his next scrumptious meal
The Sun has some scary big teeth
(Maybe he needs to visit a doc!)
Shining down upon Stonehenge beneath
SSSG stands guard by a rock
Like this really is just no big deal
We can pick up the small nut of toy
Although it’s not ok to eat
It’s wooden, but still can bring joy
To the squirrels who think it can’t be beat
(Oh, those squirrels really know how to play!)
But, Oh No! When the squirrel gets the nut
He finds himself caught in a trap
With ruggedness and it is shut
Now holding the squirrel with no gap
To enable him to run away
But squirrel number two has a plan
To help his companion be free
He fetches the ball ‘cuz he can
Recall hiding it up in the tree
In the nestbox that dwells way up high
Now this ball can be used by the clown
To throw straight at the big army tank
His fierce fastball destroys with no sound
Vaporizing the tank and we’re thank -
Ful coulrophobia passed us by!
Because that clown was scary as hell!
Now, merely by chance parts of the
Tank that the explosion flung pell mell
Became shaped into tension rod we
Then can use to let squirrel go free!
This enables us to give the Sun
The trap to use as dentures instead
Of the corn teeth with which he was done,
Since they rattled around in his head
And his food had to be pea puree!
Now the teeth the Sun has makes him look
Like the Nightmare on Elm Street’s bad guy
Or that weird Hannibal Lecter crook
From that movie where good people die
But we digress, so let’s look ahead
We put corn in the heavy stone mill
Which was turned and it shattered and Maize
Flour resulted and chef showed his skill
Turning flour into soup that amazed,
With smart beauty, the panda it fed .
Though the panda could learn better manners
He drank the thin corn soup with glee
And, instead of making us find spanners,
Gave spoon that was bent by ESP
Into curved spoon by SSSG.
Uncle Old Time took curved spoon in hand
And unlocked the box under the falls
And now forgotten thing is in hand
And relief is felt by one and all.
After test end what’s next, no one knows.
For you doubters who think this is strange
Or that things like this never occur
I submit that, although it’s deranged,
Even Doc Freud would likely concur
In Minoto’s world anything goes!

Beyond the Tunnel
@Zilifool...great WT as always :) I thought it would be fun to write a WT too, so hope you don't mind :)
WALKTHROUGH JUST BECAUSE EVERY GAME DESERVES MORE THAN ONE... :) EGDMTOW
The *proverbial* light at the end of the tunnel...I've been walking all day so ever hopeful I walk toward the light but...what!? A bloody cavern with no exit...I am not amused...aw well...in the door I go...yes, yes...we already know what happens...I have to find a way to escape. Shall we begin?
- wow...what a gorgeous dining room set...and lucky me...I see a box cutter lying on top of the table...well...I already know I'll need that...hmmm, what else can I find!
- I turned to my right and noticed a waste basket so...of course there is a crumpled piece of paper in there...curious, I open the paper but find that nothing is written on it...my suspicious nature tells me I will find *something*...let's call it a pencil...
- wow...the desk matches the dining set...at least the decorator stayed with a theme, but I digress...back to the search...I open the left drawer and find a battery...okay...most likely another battery is lurking around here somewhere *suspicious nature again* ... or ESP from Minoto ;) I notice the right-hand drawer needs a key so there is one more thing to find...sheesh!
- to the right are some stairs...cool! check out that wall paper...!
- at the top of the stairs I see a bed so I decide to check it out...psychedelic sheets and pillowcases...WOW!!! underneath the pillow I find that second battery :) Now...I just need to find oh...let's say... a *flashlight* to place the batteries in! lol!
- to my left...would you look at that...I have found the flashlight on the wire shelf...I insert the batteries into the flashlight and continue left...
- the door in front of me is locked, plus it requires a keycard...wonderful...oh look...another waste basket!
- I look inside and .... hello!... a PENCIL...well this solves the mystery of the blank paper; I use the box cutter to sharpen the pencil and I decide to write on the paper...
- WOOT!!!! I have discovered a sketch which is telling me to do something?? it looks like a chair....hmmm...above the waste basket is an item *I will call it a crowbar* but I can't reach it so....
- I rush downstairs to grab a chair! I run back upstairs *wheezing* and I click on the crowbar above the waste basket...the chair magically appears on the floor and I breathlessly climb up and grab the crowbar..
7/5/10 22:31
WALKTHROUGH...PART TWO *because I am verbose...okay?*
- once again...I rush down the stairs and from the table view, I turn left and notice a little vent in the wall...using the crowbar I force open the vent and shine the flashlight into the darkness...YES...a key!
- I use the key on that right-hand drawer and I find the lovely little keycard I need to open the door upstairs...
- as an aside: I could exit out the door on the first floor but...I would probably be forever stuck in the cavern without a way out...so,
- again I rush upstairs *why I am rushing to and fro and do not know*...I zoom in on the door and use the keycard to unlock the door...
- I am gazing at some grass through a door that is slightly ajar...okay...I really do not have a good feeling about this escape...I am about to find out why!
- I am enjoying the beautiful sunset...however I am dubious and suddenly, a voice I recognize as my *friend* calls me from behind...apparently I need to go back inside and sit down .... *bartender...perhaps a drink too*
- my so-called *friend* has just revealed that a rather unpleasant trick has been played on me and now, every room I step in I will have to find a way to escape out of said room...OMG!!!! this has happened because I used that darn keycard and stepped outside that door ... sneaky, sneaky friend....if I wasn't so exhausted from rushing up and down those stairs...for now I fall asleep in my *friend's* car...why I still associate with this person I don't know nevertheless, that's the way the story ends so guess I don't have much choice at the moment...!!! as I drift off, I dream of how I can trick the next unsuspecting victim into escaping out that door thus passing the curse on...paying it forward, so to speak!!

Bread Girl 5
Bread Girl 5: A Love Story, part 1
this is dedicated to all of those who are in love
A wine glass, how appropriate. Lovers drink wine and gaze into each other's eyes.
But this one is broken :( However, we find shards of glass. Something cracked and it appeared!
Now we have a wine glass fit for lovers. It is a high quality wineglass made from the hard work. Now we need wine. There were some grapes back there, maybe we can get wine from them.
Um, we actually get a table tennis ball. It is a light, resilient ball, though.
And when you're in love everything makes you happy, even a table tennis ball.
For entertainment, we can watch the monkey play table tennis with the guy with the bad comb-over! This will be fun! Oops! The table tennis ball became an egg, and the fly appeared from the egg that cracked.
Being young and happy and in love, we think this makes perfect sense!
And it makes perfect sense that the fly would alight in front of the lizard, who would try to eat him, but would miss. Instead, the lizard deposits flour that ferments temperately. There is no part in which abnormality is found! Because love is all around!
1/5/10 00:26
Bread Girl 5: A Love Story, part 2
There's a chef at the food shop. He could probably make something with this flour that ferments temperately. And, indeed, he does! He makes a circle of flour. The flour was punctured, much like the hearts of the two lovers when Cupid shot them with his arrow!
But the heart analogy ends here, because we're going to cook the flour circle in the boiling pit. It becomes a doughnut. It warmed it with the cooking stove and, unlike our lovers' hearts, it has hardened.
It has become so hardened, in fact, that it can serve as a wheel for a large airplane. This is important, because lovers who are separated by some distance must travel by air to be together. Thank goodness there is no volcanic ash! Now this plane is set to fly!
Behind the plane there hid a Jeep driven by a blue mouse wearing a jockey's hat. High durability and an excellent driving performance are demonstrated.
Such excellent driving performance, in fact, that when the Jeep hits a bad patch of mud and oil and whatnot, it turns that mess into Lime (white powder that was able to be made from limestone).
If we give that lime to the monkey, he can put it in his cart and wheel the cart along leaving a trail of lime. This is very important when the pH of your garden is not optimal. It is also very important when a key falls out of the cart with the lime. Why is this key so important? Let's clean off the powder that adheres, making it not possible to use the key. Then you'll see why the key is so important.
Simply clicking on the key cleans the powder away, leaving a usual key.
A Usual Key??? I think not! Because this key allows the Bread Girl to open the door so she can back through it and get on the large airplane on a beautiful, volcanic ash-free day! It is a good day, because she is going to see her True Love.
The key is broken - it has broken when using it to open the door. But this is a good thing! Because now the key looks like a large "S", and that stands for "Supermarket"! Give the key to the construction worker on the ladder and, yay, no more "Upermarket"!
Not only that, but Santa himself comes out of the store with a Special Present in his shopping cart: It's a Parachute! It bought it in the supermarket that had opened a store.
Why is this Parachute so Special? You see the large airplane is not scheduled to land where the Bread Girl's True Love resides. But True Love cannot be stopped. Bread Girl will find a way to be with her lover. She will take that Parachute and jump from the plane! She will glide gracefully down to the place where the boy waits for her.
The girl met under the tree. It was chambered. The door was opened with a key. It arrived at the appointed time. It was the arrival end. Only one method.
Because, you see, love cannot be stopped when it is meant to be. And lovers cannot be kept apart when they are meant to be together.
HAPPY END!

Bread Girl 4
Sing Along Minoto 5
sung to the tune of "It's A Small World (After All)" from Disneyland
It's a world of laughter, Minoto's world.
It's a world of hopes for all boys and girls.
There's so much that is there
That it's time we're aware, it's Minoto's world
(Chorus)
It's Minoto's world, you know.
All the world loves Minoto.
Gamers flock to see the show,
In Minoto's world.
(Repeat Chorus between each Verse)
There's a skinny Sun and a Pirate, too
And a baby Elephant who is blue
There's a house burning down
Because Satan's in town
Oh, what shall we do?
There's a weight machine where the Sun can train
'Til he's big and strong and his muscles strain
Like someone we once knew
Schwarzenegger that's who!
Big Sun's back again.
There's a Panda eyeing a plate of food
A giant Apple and seven large nails, too
In the very next scene
Is a Shark being mean
To a Squid, boo hoo!
God is jumping up and down on the shore
And a Puppy sits placidly, what's more
The cliff is full of holes
Maybe put there by moles?
We must go explore.
Back on the first shore the new IronMan Sun
Pulls the child Elephant who weighs a ton
To dry land where he can
Go and visit the Pan-
da and have some fun.
When the Elephant lifts the apple's lid
There's a Cat who previously was hid
He is gyrating so well
That anyone could tell
He's a Hula kid
We can take the Hula hoop and give it
To God who is grateful because it fits
And His power is regained
And he zaps Satan's brain
In an awesome blitz
Now we have a fork that is black and we
Hand it to Panda eating spaghetti
He leaves ink sauce behind
So we take it and find
Ink makes big Shark flee
Now the pink Squid serves as a bridge for the
Pirate Penguin who hops delicately
To the orange treasure box
Which he deftly unlocks
Setting hammer free
Now bear with me please, 'cuz we're almost done
The nails and the hammer enable one
Little Puppy to get
A powerful mallet
Now we're having fun!
Make a board and transport it to the school
Where the Bread Girl sits, she's nobody's fool
We repair the window
So no breezes can blow
Away Bread Girl's tool
Her tool is a paper airplane, you see
And she throws it so an emergency
Landing takes place next door
And the Boy she adores
Reads the note with glee
(Chorus)
It's Minoto's world, you know.
All the world loves Minoto.
Gamers flock to see the show,
In Minoto's world.

Halo Flower
SingAlong Minoto 4
sung to the tune of "Yesterday"
(with apologies to Paul McCartney)
(First Verse)
Yesterday
I was looking for a game to play
'Cuz I knew that it was Saturday
Minoto comes on Saturday
(Second Verse)
Suddenly
I woke calmly, though it was sleepy
A big light bulb hovered over me
Sunday brought Halo Flower to me!
(Chorus)
Kitty
In a shoe, what to do, it didn't say
Pink bag, space where the living thing can go be gay-ay-ay-ay
(Third Verse)
In the air
Is an elephant who's sleeping there
And a plane is flown by a Pink Hare
And no one's wearing underwear!
(Fourth Verse)
Give the shoe
to the elephant the bulb woke, too
He will stomp so hard it will scare you
And purple catfish is scared, too
Chorus
Catfish
Out of water, oh no, this will not do
Take it to the pink tub and he'll electrocu-uu-uu-ute
(Fifth Verse)
Satan's son
Who unites with a giant hot dog bun
That is really meant to load a gun -
A bullet for the toy Magnum
(Sixth Verse)
"Go ahead,
Make my day" a raspy voice said
So we shoot and liberate the head
of Satan's empire, now we're dead!
(Chorus)
Wait, though
Satan's son goes to see the cat enclosed
In the Pink Bag, this could be bad! But wait! Oh, no-oh-oh-ohz
(Seventh Verse)
It's OK
Field is cleared and vapors blown away
And the lion Sun can jump and play
And all the Blue Birds fly away
Eighth Verse
Then they go
To a place where only Minoto
Could imagine a scenario
Where bird's poop makes the flowers grow!
(Finale)
What would
All the games addicts do, we'd be so blue
If Minoto left us bereft of their sweet zoo!

Classic Escape
One of Those Days Through
Woke up, rolled over and picked up the magic square from the floor between the wall and the bed.
Sat up and took the fish net I always keep above the headboard.
And the screwdriver attachment that I always sleep with from between the pillows. I really like screwdrivers.
Yawned. Scratched my head. Stumbled over to the Modigliani and placed the magic square over it.
Modigliani no more, it's now a paint by numbers abstract!
Good thing I can see colors. And read tiny roman numerals.
Shuffle over to the drawers on the wall and turn the knobs different colors (all of my drawers turn colors when I touch them. Not my knickers, just my regular drawers).
Looks like Purple, Dusty Blue, Cyan, Olive Green, and Red/Orange (no primary colors for this artist!).
Somewhere in my head, just behind my left ear, I hear Edgar (or was it Edward? or maybe Ellie? Anyway, starts with "E") whisper "1,7,5,9,3".
And so I click the knobs that many times, starting with the left.
The left drawer pops open (the others have their own codes, it seems) and I pick up the screwdriver handle.
What I really need right now is a toothbrush, but I'll take the SD handle. I put the screwdriver attachment in the handle, but it falls out.
Is this going to be one of those days?
Go over to tv to watch the news, but there's no remote. Probably in one of those other drawers. But behind the tv is a rubber hose (disguised as a coax cable).
Staggering around the room, I see the cutest little kitty. With a ball of yarn she won't let me have. Pet her anyway 'cuz she's cute.
Ok, gotta find that toothbrush. So I look in the bedside cabinet and there's a magnet, but no toothbrush.
But beside the cabinet is a trash can that is clean and empty. And there's a water faucet next to it. Maybe I can brush my teeth? But I don't want water all over the nice wooden floor (and what the heck is a water faucet doing in the bedroom anyway?)
So I attach the rubber hose and fill the trash can with water.
Since the trash can is clean, maybe I can wash my face in the wat...
what? A fish is swimming in the water. Back and forth and back and forth. Mesmerizing. But not appropriate for washing my face.
I bet the cute kitty would like a fish. I'll use my fish net to get it.
The cute kitty does, indeed, like a fish. And gives me a ball of yarn in gratitude. Not being a cat, I restrain myself from playing with the yarn. Instead, I tie the yarn to the magnet.
Time to open the floor safe. I use the clever code I thought of: 0000.
No one will ever try that!
I take the grey key from inside the safe and use it on the box on the floor beside the fishy trash can.
I take the glue. I always keep my glue well secured. I don't want anyone using my glue for frivolous purposes.
I think I'll use the glue on the screwdriver handle so the attachment will stay attached. So I do, and it does.
Now I can unscrew the rug that is screwed to the floor. Kind of a screwy way to keep the rug from sliding around (ha, ha. I just woke up, ok, so don't expect witty repartee from me).
Then I can use the magnet/string combo to fetch the room key so I can finally go brush my teeth and make some coffee.
(Already fed the cat.)
So I go to brush my teeth and find myself locked in the bathroom.
Yes, it is going to be one of those days, it seems.

Cherry Blossoms
Sing Along Minoto 3
to tune of "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson
(ok @ Irish, you asked for it, so here goes!!!)
[1st verse]
She was more like a beauty queen, from a movie scene
I said, "You look like someone I've seen, I think you are the one
From Minoto Escape games I've played"
She said, "I am the one from Minoto Escape games you've played"
[2nd verse]
She told me, "Just call me Billie Jean", as she caused a scene
By having coffee with creep, not cream, and then donning a hat-
A Katyusya worn as a crown
And a pig flew a kite
In the air as he stood on the ground
[Bridge]
People always told me to check the anxious place
Don't go around giving raccoons clothes
And Mother always told me to wash your hands and face
And be careful when you blow green potatoes out your nose
[Chorus]
Billie Jean is from Minoto
She's just a girl who runs with bread in her mouth
And is gorgeous in her mind
Her deejay is a mouse
Who makes diamonds as he grinds
[3rd verse]
The elephant is a fireman who ran to the site
Where a gorilla stood KingKong-like and bananas were found
In a tree, with some birds all around
They perplexed us, it's true, all those birds who did not make a sound
[4th verse]
And our sweet princess called Billie Jean left the altar scene
There was a monkey who climbed a tree, maybe he was the one
Who caused Princess B.J. to leave town
I guess we'll never know, but the Panda drinks tea that fell down
[Bridge]
People always told me be careful what you do
Don't go around stealing young girls' bread
The Secret Service agents may find you if you do
And make you eat sad meals, or send Mother after you!
[Chorus]
Everybody loves Minoto
It's just a game we like to play 'cause it's fun
Yes Minoto is the one
[Repeat ad infinitum]

Bread Girl 3
Written by: zoz
Sing Along Minoto 2
to the tune of the Sound of Music song "These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things"
Rabbits in spaceships and foxes with mittens
Babies who shrewdly drink cat's milk like kittens
Seeds of the mystery planted in Spring
These are a few of my favorite things
Keys that are usual, Pins that are boring,
Tape of cohesiveness, knife used for coring
Apple that grows on a tree that gives string,
These are a few of my favorite things
Dandelions seeds adhered by fairy's power,
Bald men who take wigs from girls in tall towers,
Fishing pole with carrots tied on with string,
These are a few of my favorite things
When my life seems
Fraught with drama
And I'm feeling sad
I simply remember Minoto exists,
And then I don't feel so bad

Eniguma
Stuck on a code?... Sleep on it!
irishenigma
my poor brain is fried...maybe I just need a rest but I can't, for the life of me, figure out the door code... *crying and gnashing of teeth*!! the numbers I have left on the phone are 1,3,4,5,7 and my equation is: B+3=C, D+2=A, E
@ellie...you wrote such a fantastic wt, but that door code is driving me nuts!!!! i feel so stupid....!!!! i thought B=4 *4+3=7*?? then i plugged 3 in second equation for *D=3+2=5* and finally E=1... *looking around the room for something to shoot*...yikes! and of course all numbers will change if i can't escape before i exit the game...lol!!!! just hand me a bottle of Petron and let me wallow... i digress...47351 isn't opening the bloody door...help?
6/4/10 07:24
irishenigma
OMG...OMG...OMG!!!!! *hits self up side the head* I figured out the equation...duh!!!! I can't believe how simple it was...haha!!!
@ellie...read your instructions again and a lightning bold suddenly hit me...I had all the correct numbers last night but I wasn't placing them in the order of *A,B,C...etc* can I blame it on being really tired and trying to be logical at a very late hour? lol!!!!!! thank you again ... in my lucid moments i'm not too bad....rofl!!!!!

Ellie
Oh irish! I'm so sorry that I didn't see your cry for help yesterday :(
I'm very happy though that you totally on your own managed to find out about the Great Mysteries of the ABCDE :)!!
Of course you can blame your little misshappening on anything you want (feel free to blame it on the walkthrough as well, I agree... I wasn't very clear in this matter lol).
You did great on solving the equations btw :D!!
7/4/10 01:21
irishenigma
@ellie...actually, your explanation for the door code was great :D my brain just got stuck in neutral and i wasn't realizing the obvious...lol! just one of those days when i chant *i have a brain, and one of these days i'm going to have it installed* ;) thanks again for a great walkthrough...ironic...a game titled eniguma and irishenigma experiences temporary loss of IQ points....rofl!!!!!
A BEDTIME DITTY:
Once upon a time there lived a young *well...for purposes of this story anyway* girl who loved to play escape games...she enjoyed the subtle nuances, notes in languages that can only be read by a few select people and taking walks while feeling the attemperation only to constantly get locked in various places, some of which have doubtful points. One evening she stumbled into a game with the intriguing little title Eniguma and began to search for keys and screwdrivers...the usual escape gamer tools. All was progressing wonderfully...she found several codes and was able to correctly open various places...she even deduced certain aspects of this interesting game which served to boost her confidence immensely...and then disaster... a mathematical equation reared its evil little head and suddenly, the young girl lost significant grey matter, floundered horribly and began an embarrasing downward spiral. Not even a brilliant walkthrough, which explained exactly how to arrive at the final door code penetrated her addled cerebral cortex. Well...to shorten a silly story...the next day dawned and the young girl, determined to play the game again, finally redeemed herself by solving the final code that the walkthrough explained so thoroughly the night before...!

kitkatfox
lol Irish. I haven't played this game yet, but I had to read your story. Too funny!!!!
so to summarize -- when stuck with a game code, sleep on it!
lololololololololololol
going in now to get lost in the math

Escape Game Rule #1
From Melonsoda Juice Room Escape, by Sakura
Escape Game Rule #1 anyone who posts "where is the ___" followed by "nevermind, got it" risks being bludgeoned with a spanner, burnt with a lighter, stabbed with a screwdriver and forever held captive in whatever it was they were trying to escape from!

DozenGames House Escape
@kitkat...rofl...thank you for the thorough walkthrough....haha!!! I am going to document my fumbling in this game that, eventually, led me to the conclusion and escape....ROFL!!!!!! I am still laughing *after the frustration of course*...lol I don't think I've been this gob smacked in a longgggg time...hahahaha!!!!! Enjoy my ramblings ;)
THE OFFICIAL BUMBLING FUMBLE-THROUGH-PART One:
Upon first glance...this is a room that is non-confrontational and appears to be one that will prove so easy a caveman could do it... Well, without further ado, let us set to the task of figuring out the solution that will lead to an open door and an *attaboy/girl*
Let's see...there is a desk with a computer, a locked door *duh* and to the right of the door, a green knob which will eventually require the correct three digits...well alright, but I just got started so I think I will go in the general direction of the computer. I don't see any indication of a code but I do see the piano with the number *1973* on it...that might be useful later on so being the meticulous gamer that I am, I jot this down on my trusty *gamer notes to help me remember what i'll probably forget if the game is too long* pad of paper .... deep breath..whew!
Not to be deterred, I proceed to walk to my left...*I would have turned to the right but apparently the creator decided this would be a one-way trip*.
To my excitement, I spot a green basket by the bed and take a peek....YES!!! I have found a green board which, in close up view, gives a glaring clue which can only mean *CODE...CODE* for something! It is a mathematical equation with various shapes ... the correct order shows it to be: pentagon + triangle + rectangle + circle = ?? Next task is to locate those shapes...sounds really easy so far doesn't it?
Stumbling around along with some luck, I locate the shapes. The pentagon suddenly appeared in my inventory after clicking all over the bed, but to be precise, the left side finally gave up its treasure...pftt!! Well, onward and... Well, onward anyway! After some investigation by the window, with particular emphasis on the pot holding the plant, I found the triangle toward the back, just above the dirt. Maybe I'm not floundering as horribly as I thought...oh wait...too soon to feel confident *little do I know what lies ahead*!
Alright, back to hunting the final two shapes...turning left again I notice a mirror/vanity table ... something has to be lurking here so in I go! Oh happy day...just below the dresser, about baseboard level on the left, hides the rectangle. Of course, I clicked all over and just *happened* to notice that it showed up in my inventory. Okay...so it isn't a scientific method but I found it :)
As I continue to look to the left, I see an object attached from the ceiling. *it turns out to be a projector* I also notice a table with a computer *of course this one requires a 4-digit code* so I snoop around...
Being suspicious of escape games and aware of their usual tricks...I decide to find out what that projector might have on it...well, looks as though I've found the cable that I will need to attach to the computer on the table. Still thinking of escaper tricks, I zoom in on the computer and think the cable should just attach itself....but NO...why should anything be THAT simple?! I eventually discover that the cable won't attach itself in the close-up view, but instead, requires the view furthest from any reasonable deduction...bloody escape games! Embarrassing note: I would still be trying to forcibly attach this *cable* if Ellie hadn't bailed me out...*sigh*
3/4/10 03:35
THE OFFICIAL BUMBLING FUMBLE-THROUGH – PART Deux:
Well...now that that hurdle has been overcome, I just need to discover the whereabouts of the circle and I will have my complete mathematical solution! As it turns out, the circle is in the zoomed view of the broom! At this point I decide to bring the green board up in close-up view and plug in each shape in its proper spot...well how easy is this! All I have to do is add 1000+330+5070+1100 and ..... *drumroll* ... 7500 is one of the codes!
Okay...back to the computer on the table...by process of elimination *with only two choices it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out which code works...lol* But I digress...the only 4-digit number visible in the room was the *1973* on the piano so let's enter that in the computer and ..... a message states that the computer is *playing*...not only that, but if you look at the projector screen a 3-digit number appears ... *393*...well, I think that door will open for me shortly...ahem!
Alright, this is where things being to go a bit awry...grrr! I am looking at a CD/DVD player which requires a *what else*... 4-digit code. So...the result of that math exercise has to go here. I enter *7500* and to my glee, a green light appears in the top left corner....okay, getting closer to opening that door... *haha!*
Here is where the situation becomes quite embarrassing...I sit and stare at the pretty green light I just activated and wonder...I have heard rumours that a disc is in this vicinity but after clicking on both computers and even ... ahem.... the projector, no disc is in sight. Quite by accident, I stumble onto the fact that if I would just click on the pretty green light, I would, at last, have the elusive disc!!!
Now that the aforementioned business is completed, I will now attend to the task of getting out of this horrid room! Zoom in...don't zoom in....sheesh! Alright...now I discover *I won't tell how long I thought about this step...* that all I need to do is zoom in on the computer by the door, insert the disc, and watch a huge *Z* appear.
Oh for crying out loud...now what! A simple screwdriver/key/battering ram would have done the trick but torture me further why don't you you evil game creators! Time to use the phone with the adjustable keypad...should be simple...right? Right??
I'll gloss over the gory details and state that, had it not been for Daz *you are my hero today*, I would have been plugging in a black *Z* and wondering why the lights weren't turning green! So Daz...I owe you big time :)
Meanwhile...back in the evil room, I entered a *Z* on the phone, using the white keys, then set to work on the 3-digit code dial. Why should the last puzzle be easy...so, again...saved by Tosca, I set the 3rd digit to *3*, the middle digit to *1*, and the first digit to *4* ... through trial and error, by turning the 1st and 3rd dials to advance the number of the middle dial, the number finally reached *393*, the light turned green, I backed up and clicked the door, and went screaming out into the night...
The definition of insanity is following the same formula over and over but expecting a different result!!!! Aw well...some days are just like that....lolol!!!!!!

lol @Martin
Now I'd like to see one of debra's the-way-I-played-this-game-Through!
1/4/10 07:58
Martin :D
I don't know how Debra would have done it but this is pretty much my game walkthrough.
Start, Start.
Mouse over rubbish bin and note it says "Why would a trashcan be useful...?" Click on it anyway. Click on it again and then around the top and bottom, just to make sure.
Give up on rubbish bin.
Click on table drawer to zoom in. Click on drawer to open. Click on and around the paper and the ball, you get nothing. Click faster but this time moving around the drawer as well. You get zip for your effort.
Give up on the drawer.
Click on the phone and notice a circular shape to the right of the phone, click on it. A broken key! This looks promising. Click to pick it up, can't. Click and hold to slide it, can't. Click on it faster to pick it up...niks, nada, nothing. C'mon, those empty spots in the inventory must be for something!
Give up on the key.
Click on the phone. Nothing happens. Click on the cord. Same. Click slowly on and around the phone. Click faster on and around the phone but now start moving further out. You get diddly squat. Stare at the screen and notice a thin yellow line up and to the right of the phone. Hmm, sneaky. Click on it to find it's...nothing. Try a few parting clicks on the key and the phone just to be certain.
Give up on the phone.
Click on the screen. The computer has power! Sweet. Failure to boot. Notice a hot spot near the word "HERE" click on it. Nothing happens, you are not surprised. Type "h" on your keyboard. Type "H" on your keyboard. Nothing happens, you are still not surprised. Feel silly for trying to type "h".
Give up on the computer.
Click underneath the table. Nope. Click near the leg, it just zooms in. Try again in different spots and legs. In, out, in, out, in, out...arrrrr. Maybe there's nothing under the damn table after all.
Give up on the table.
Turn right. Click on barred, locked window. You are not confident though as you don't even have a broken key. Nothing, you expect it now. Click behind the table and screen, there are no hot spots but try it anyway.
Give up on the window.
Click on "Item Chest". Note glass and ya-gi-oh card. Neither of which you can't, surpise, surprise, pick up. Left eye starts to twitch. Google ya-gi-oh and find it's a Yu-Gi-Oh! card. Cool, I didn't know that. Go back to the game. You have an inspired moment and hit the "Tab" key! Yesssss. Go back over all you where you have been and you get...niets, neitt, nüscht...nothing.
Give up on the chest.
Turn right. A bed and a mystery box. Things are looking up at last. Click on the bed. Click on the box. What did it just call me? The guy is spelling mystery as mistery and he calls me a dumbass! Flip the bird at your screen and click on the pillow. Nothing. Click wildly around the bed to get more nothingness.
Give up on the bed.
Turn right. Click on the bed end. It just goes to the bed view. Look for hot spots around the bed end. Click around spots where there are no hot spots because now you are getting desperate and running out of walls. Click on door. Click on the knob. Out. Stare blankly at the screen. Let your gaze wander to the desk calendar...Thursday 1 April. Let half a smile cross your lips and face-plant the keyboard. Vow, that from now on, you are going to start by turning left!
