Pfew this is gonna be difficult. The more you walk around the more rooms there are.
ReplyDeleteAnyway black key in room BG from anagramming the hint in room AM. (only use the first 4 letter places!).
Black key used on the chest in AR for the flashlight (to be used in AD)
ReplyDeletegoing in.
ReplyDelete@small-tool,
ReplyDeleteThank you !
I just mapped the whole thing on paper... before finding the map! Oh well. Thanks for the tip, small tool, I was trying to think of a 7 letter name for the AM word.
ReplyDeleteAnd then you can get a silver key in N to use in R for the rope...
ReplyDeleteBucket in AE
ReplyDeletesecond post about a black key? I can't find a thing. lol
ReplyDeletePfew, I've seen a hole somehwere and I guess the bucket and rope are used there, but where was it again?
ReplyDeleteHow do I get started????
ReplyDeleteAh, the hole was in room BL and only the rope is used there.
ReplyDeleteEvans,
ReplyDeleteStart with going up from the startscreen to get the map.
had to restart, for some reason I could only go up to locked gate and not sideways, working now. I might catch up by tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no, my map gets bigger and bigger :)
ReplyDeletethanks in advance for all your clues. i have to run, but i'll be back in an hour. good luck!
ReplyDeleteSmall - just the rope, the bucket is for a well. And the chest in T takes a gold key you get for moving a rock with a power glove (though I don't remember where, I think room H, maybe?) The rope may be used in BL? Or thereabouts?
ReplyDeleteAnd out... Wow, that was a huge map, and I love how the map adds rooms as you find them rather than just having them all there!
ReplyDeleteGot a book by doing the levers in room Y with the hint from room AF
ReplyDeleteOK, stuck. I can't find a place with water to fill the bucket, I thought I could fill it in N but no luck. Can't find a way to move rock either. I have a magic portal, though.
ReplyDeletewell in aw (mismarked as ab) but right of av.
ReplyDeleteknight in bm needs sword
ReplyDeletePfew, I'm so confused. Have to look at the map with every step. Where's the well?
ReplyDeleteObviously, I miss rooms BD, BE and BF... (there is a little mistake, room AW is labeled AB).
ReplyDeletewhere is black key. been through the whole maze and find no keys anywhere. Help please?
ReplyDeleteAh, found the well now!
ReplyDeleteWell in AB (right from AV)
ReplyDeleteThe red book opens a portal, but how to use it ?
ReplyDeleteThanks Q
ReplyDeleteHave water now, trying to find the fire back again.
Please help. I can't find anything to use anywhere!
ReplyDeleteEvans - you get the black key for anagraming on pedestals...
ReplyDeleteEvans,
ReplyDeleteStart with putting 'rose' as code in room BG
The fire was in room D, but Selfdefiant was very mean. You need two buckets of water there. Anyway new rooms again by putting out the fire.
ReplyDeleteanagram in BG needs 8 letters. how does rose work there?
ReplyDeleteEvans,
ReplyDeleteOnly use the first four places.
Powerglove in room C with using the hint from room J
ReplyDeleteUsed powerglove in room I to pull lever and used powerglove in room H to get the golden key.
ReplyDeleteNow where to use that golden key!?
Room T, s-t!
ReplyDeletePfew, thank you very much Trisana :)
ReplyDeleteWas running around like a madman. Forgot to mark that room on my map.
Have sword now.
Welcome, S-T! also, you might want to use the book to put a portal near one of the levers up past the knight...
ReplyDeleteGave the sword to the knight in room BM and....
ReplyDeleteof course new rooms again :(
Pulled lever in BO with powerglove.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the use of book/portalt, Trisana :(
Wow, this is huge, I have to go....I'll just post what I have found so far:
ReplyDeleteAF posts
AB well
D fire
H rock
Will return later...
Pulled a lever in BE with powerglove but it's slowly going back up again :(
ReplyDeletewe need to find out what the lever does and go to that room and leave your portal from red book there, then pull lever and click book to go back to where you left portal. does that make sense? If anyone knows where to leave portal please post!
ReplyDeleteS-T: when you click on the book in your inventory, it creates a portal. Then, when you click the book, it teleports you to that portal. If you want to move the portal, click on the portal itself, and then you can put the portal in another room.
ReplyDeletePhew, I made it.
ReplyDeleteEvans - there is no specific room where you need to put the portal. I put it up past the knight, by one of the three levers that go back up slowly. Then I pulled the one to the south, used the book to get back up north/past the knight, and pulled the other two.
ReplyDeleteThanks Trisana and Evans,
ReplyDeleteBut does it mean I still have to be very quick to pull the levers in room I, BD and BF?
I put the portal by the lever in the upper right. Then negotiated the tortuous path to the lever in I. Pulled it with the glove. Ported to the upper right. Pulled. Then up and across the top and down to the S lever and then back to the gate and out.
ReplyDeleteFairly quick? I wasn't rushing and managed to pull all three of them in time. SD gave us plenty of time.
ReplyDeleteOK, I feel like an idiot. is there a secret to finding rooms a-r as well as most other rooms referenced above? All I've been able to find are 3 chests, the hole, opened the gate and the map. I keep wandering around and can't find routs to any more rooms.
ReplyDeletewhere is sword???
ReplyDeleteRudy what room in the upper right is there a lever???
ReplyDeleteYeah I did it.
ReplyDeleteThe trick is indeed to put the portal somewhere in a room up (the knight for example) and then go to room I to pull the lever and then use the book/portal to go to the knight and then quickly do the lever in room BD and BF.
Thanks for all the help guys.
Was rewally overwhelmed by all those rooms.
I need the sword to get past the knight? Where is it?
ReplyDeleteEvans,
ReplyDeleteUse the powerglovew in room H to get the golden key.
Use golden key in room T to get the sword.
Btw. thanks for the 'really great' game Selfdefiant. :)
ReplyDeleteOk, I give up. too complicated. Don't know what to do after pulling the "slow" moving lever in BE. Put portal there but haven't seen any other "slow" moving levers.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy,
ReplyDeleteOnly 3 levers in I, BD and BF (oops myabe one of the B's is BE).
I don't have a BD yet... how to get there?
ReplyDeleteduh, finally found one turn i missed
ReplyDeleteGame already closed. But I thought when giving the sword to the knight you can go everywhere behind him. So maybe you didn't click some direction in one of the rooms behind him yet.
ReplyDeleteTribble, I think the way to the I room was closed by the fire. Two buckets of water will take care of that.
ReplyDeleteFinally out. Wow that was an aMAZING game! thanks for all the help.
ReplyDeleteLol, don't remember anymore Tribble, but I think not. I do remember room I was somewhere all the way bottom left and vaguely remember H was on the right.
ReplyDeleteThis is getting annoyingly large.
ReplyDeleteI like the portal concept but I think could have been better thought out. You don't always know where you'll need the portal. You might place it, then find you need it somewhere else. I happened to get lucky with the well and the fire -- just had a feeling I'd need a 2nd bucket -- but it would be better if you had the choice to go to the portal you made OR kill the portal you made so you can make a new one.
Andrea,
ReplyDeleteIn fact you only need the portal to be quick enough in the end. For all the other places you can just walk around because not timed. It's only an extra advantage you can use it for other things too.
Phew, out, and none too soon.
ReplyDeleteST, yeah, I see that now that it's needed only for the timing. I was seeing the portal as akin to the teleportation crystal ball in the Asylum games, a convenience item for traversing a large map, and was getting annoyed at it for that reason.
ReplyDeleteLol, yep I was praying for a crystal ball teleport thingy in this one as well. Although I liked this game I think Selfdefiant went a bit overboard with this one :)
ReplyDeleteBut then again, it will be pretty difficult for sure to come up with new ideas everytime. So Kudos to SD :)
Loving this! especially since s-t and trisana left clues almost like a WT! The map is essential!
ReplyDeleteI liked this game for a while... thanks all for good hints. But, I was never able to find room AD for the 3rd lever and after going through the "maze" over and over I gave up. Sorry SD, this is one I couldn't finish. too frustrating.
ReplyDeleteGosh can't seem to get the 5 levers in Y! I am using the posts from AF. What am I missing?
ReplyDeleteJo-Ann,
ReplyDeleteYou're using the correct hint. I think the fourth was all the way down and the first and last were the same height. Just keep trying.
Gotta love POP! I thought I had tried that before but apparently no!
ReplyDeleteFor those stuck I think it was 4,3,5,1,4
Can't break into left side of map to get to other rooms. Big hint please?
ReplyDeleteCould really do with one of those crystal balls to move around the map with!
ReplyDelete@luke, not sure where you are, do you have the map?
ReplyDeleteOK...I am worn out! I have a page full of (udlrllruudud) for my directions here to there! I think I will consider myself out because I can't be bothered to run back and forth to get to gate before the lever goes back up...too much like a timed game to me.....that is just me, many others may like the challenge....lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for the excellent hints...and thanks, as always for the game @selfdefiant!
My AB room has no well...and I have yet to find rooms A thru M.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ...@enjoy!!!! Great minds and all that! :D
ReplyDeletethanks self defiant! good game. a bit tedious at times, but fun as always. i crave self defiant games!
ReplyDeletemyrdlebp, you need to go to AW for the well, but it is mis numbered as AB. It is the room just right of AV.
ReplyDelete@myrdlebp, there is a second AB room to the right of AV. That is where the well is
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, I have no AV yet. Imma big time lost! LOL
ReplyDeletewe all were. look at your map. the rooms are in order from bottom left to top right. i think they go from a thru bt or something like that. just keep plugging around and you will find them all.
ReplyDelete@Nokra, did you not find the map? Made my adventure much easier.
ReplyDeleteAlso, at the end, if you use the portal, it was really quick to go between the three levers. I left a portal at the top right lever, went down to the bottom left lever, pulled it, then clicked the book. Pulled the lever in the top right area. Then took the portal back. Went up and over to the exit gate, left a portal, then left and down to the final lever. Pulled it, then clicked the book and out!
LOL I have yet to find rooms A thru M. It's not for the lack of looking, been back and forth a bunch and I keep referring to my map, but JEEZUZ! I'm completely kerfumped!
ReplyDeleteProgress! I finally got to the hole and put the rope on the post! Whew, what a workout!
ReplyDeleteGo, go, go Myrdlebp :)
ReplyDeletewe're still here for you myrdlebp!
ReplyDeleteI'm still checking in too! Shhh I am supposed to be working... don't tell anyone! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL I miss the times when I could "play" at work!
ReplyDeleteI don't get how this portal thingie works????? I'll go read ^up^ lol
This is definitely an all dayer for me, I'm not getting ANYTHING done! :( Good thing I have one more day off from work!!
The portal was confusing for me at first too. When you click the red book, you get a portal. Then go a few locations away from where you left the portal and click the red book. Tada! you are back where you left the portal.
ReplyDeleteDoes that make sense?
I can only find brick walls, a bush, another bush and lovely flowers...
ReplyDeleteLate to the party. Where is the map? I feel like I've been everywhere.
ReplyDeleteFINALLY found it!
ReplyDeletemap is forward from the start screen.
ReplyDeleteThat may be the hardest SD ever! Wow, makes you work.
ReplyDeleteWhere are all the levers? Found one in BD, another in BE, but although I'm using the portal the gate won't open... I bet there has to be a third one.
ReplyDeleteWell....I'm sorry, but I am one who became frustrated and had to quit before finishing. I can't find room I. Can't see room D with a fire. Can't figure out how to get to room BD, BE or BF and nowhere does it say how to get to these rooms above anywhere. I've been to every room on the map trying to see where I missed a left, right, up or down and there is nothing that I can see that I missed. I like this game a lot and appreciate SD making it a long, challenging one, but I guess I'm just not good enough to figure it out - lol!
ReplyDelete@Gina, there is a third lever in the top left area. You go past the exit gate to find it.
ReplyDelete@Zoe, the map only shows you the rooms you have been in. When you are in a room, you need to look and see if there are arrows to new areas. For example, if your map shows only a room above, but the actual room shows arrows going in all 4 directions, then you have missed rooms. Once you have been in the room, then it will show on the map.
@SD I loved the idea of the map appearing only after you had been in the room. I actually didn't find the map for a very long time and was relying on arrows and memory. Was I relieved when I found the map! Keep the new ideas coming!
I really enjoyed this one--lots to do and keep track of, but no hidden spots (always where I go wrong). Walkthrough coming!
ReplyDeleteWalkthrough (kinda):
ReplyDeleteSNEW are compass directions for where to go:
Go N (forward) for map (squares fill in as you go. I found it really useful to make my own map too, so I could see where there were paths I hadn't tried yet).
From map room, SWN gets you to the switch to open gate 1 (room AP)
From room AP, SEEEN gets you to gate 1 (room AS)
From AS, go NESESW to get to the EROS clue (room AM)
From AM, go ENWNNWWSWNW to get to the room where you use the EROS clue (room BG) Anagram EROS and enter it as the first 4 letters to get the BLACK KEY (spoiler in posts above)
Find your way back to the start room (AJ)
From room AJ, go NE to room AR, and use the black key to open the chest and get the FLASHLIGHT
From AR, go WSSEE to get to the room that was too dark to enter before you had the flashlight (AD)
From AD, go SS and get a SILVER KEY from the bird bath in room N
From N go NEN to room AE and get the bucket.
Find your way back to room AB, and from AB go WSW. Open the chest with the silver key to get the rope.
Find your way to room BK (north east corner of the map so far) and go E to BL which has a hole and a post. Use the rope to go down the hole to room BB
From BB go ESE to room AB, which has a well. Fill your bucket with water.
From the well, go WSSW to see the post clue (room AF)
From the post clue go EESW to get to the pedestal where you can enter the post clue, and get the MAGIC BOOK
Go ENW to room AG and use the magic book to make a portal (you’ll be glad you did soon).
Go E to the post clue room, and then go SSWSWW to get to a room with a fire (D). Use your water on the fire. Use your magic book to go back to room AG. NNE takes you back to the well. Get more water. Go back to the fire room, and finish putting out the fire.
From the fire room (D), go west as far as you can (NWWSWNW), and you’ll get to a room (I) where there’s a lever that is too strong to pull right now.
Go E to room J and note what direction each color is pointing.
From J go SEE to room C to a chest you can open with the color clue from room J. That gives you a POWER GLOVE. If you go back to room I and try it out, you’ll find you can now pull the switch, but it moves slowly back up. Also note the S symbol to the left of the switch.
Go to room P (bottom right of map so far). Go ESE to a room with a rock (room H). Move the rock with the power glove and get the GOLD KEY.
Go to room AC (just west of the dark room). Go SW to room T and open the chest with the gold key to get the SWORD
Go to room BC, and then N to room BM and give sword to the knight.
If you haven’t already done so, use the magic book to get back to where you left your portal, and click the portal to remove it.
Go to room BM (with the knight). From BM, investigate the rooms to the north. You’ll find two more S levers, one to the west and one to the east. You’ll also find the S gate, which is the exit.
Go to one of the north two rooms with levers, I chose the one to the NW, which is room BE. Use the magic book to make a portal there.
Walk back to the SW corner S-lever (room I).
Use the power glove to pull the lever in room I.
Use the magic book to go to the next lever. Use the power glove to pull it.
Walk to the last lever. (if you put the portal in room BE, you get to the other lever room by going EN, then E as far as you can, and S twice)
Pull the last lever with the power glove.
Walk back to the gate and exit!
the moon is beautiful :-)
ReplyDeleteOk, so me being me, I COULD NOT give up - lol! So I perservered and did find the missing room. The portal took me a little time to figure out, but in the end, it does make getting to the 3 levers easier than having to go all the way through the rooms in time.
ReplyDeleteSD - this was truly a great game! You have people complaining that your games are "too short" and "too easy" etc. And look what you came up with!!!!!
Thanks for taking the effort, and I'm sure lots of time, to make this one!
I couldn't find well, love your games selfdefiant , thank you but this is driving me crazy...lol I will be waiting for the next one.
ReplyDeleteWow! Loved it. Thanks SD for an interesting morning. My tip to help navigate is to plan a route and write it down i.e UURRDLRU then move. It makes it a lot quicker. And Jo-ann gave a good hint for the final lever pulling leaving the portal in the top right then move down to the bottom lever which you will pull first and use the book to whizz up to the top.
ReplyDeleteExcellent games SD, three switches to pull with the power glove, tricky. I loved the portal book, clever and fun especially in a game as big as this one.
ReplyDeleteI don't find room BD. Where is it, please ? There is nothing on the right of room BC and nothing on the left of room BE.

@seb,
ReplyDeleteThank you !
Anyway, I give up : I'm not fast enough to pull the 3 levers and the travel portal is still a mystery for me.
ReplyDeleteThis navigation is a bad dream,i hate that !
ReplyDeleteOh my God!!! That was epic! Thanks for explaining early on that only a 4 letter word needed for 8 spaced clue. That was mean SD!
ReplyDeletehaha didn't even realise there was a portal until i had finished... managed to get the levers down in the first try as well :)
ReplyDeleteLOVED IT! Thanks SD!
ReplyDeleteThis was MASSIVE. It must've taken quite a bit of time to put it together. Thank you, SD, for working so hard just for our entertainment.
(I had a bit of trouble figuring out the portal until I read Lsquared's WT, so, thanks for that, Lsquared.)
Need one of them magic ball things that take you to the room when you click on the map lol (like in the asylums)
ReplyDeleteI got bored after finding the knight who wanted a sword. This was a very sadistic game, in my opinion, the very thing I dislike about SD. I thought he was listening and trying not to make us go from one edge of map to another and back every little while... but it seems not! I guess without all this back and forth running his games would be nothing. Sorry for being harsh, but you can do a lot better than that.
ReplyDeleteFinally finished! thank you seb for posting a picture of the map. I finally found my missing room BD! thank you Lsquared for the WT!
ReplyDeleteFab game - once I read Small-Tool's hint that the 7 letter puzzle actually only uses the first 4 (naughty SD!), I did it all myself - took just under 45 minutes, but I got there.
ReplyDelete@ Tania - what a shame you didn't enjoy it. There was a huge clue in the name - it is called escape the Maze - isn't the point of them that you get lost and keep having to back-track? I loved it - some people like war games, some like escape games, some like puzzles, some like easy, some like a challenge... Play the ones you like and have fun ;-)
@ SD - thank you for another entertaining free game with a generous amount of bafflement - perfect :-)
Walking around town with my lover? Who says that? What are we French now? Let's just keep it casual man, and don't let it turn into that! lol
