FIRST COMMENT!!!
ReplyDeleteWow...First to post....Ok, I've gotten a quarter, Piece of the yellow pages, socket and binoculars. I've made several phone calls, and none of them were helpful. Is anyone else playing?
ReplyDeletewell I guess I'm second now, not first....lol
ReplyDeleteI have the the same except I have a piece of string.
ReplyDeleteattach the string to the quarter.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you will need the password to the electric company...it is written on the same paper as the phone number. If you need the answer, let me know
ReplyDeleteFound out that I'm calling from 267-9532
ReplyDeleteYou need to turn on the electricity and turn off the water. You will need a password for both.
ReplyDeleteI escaped. No help from anyone. That is saying a LOT.... cool game.
ReplyDeleteWell done chprice - got the number off the fountain, but dont understand it....hint please
ReplyDeleteWhat is the password?
ReplyDeletePassword is 5 letters and a number
ReplyDeletethe password for the electric company is "night5". once the electricity is on, look up to get the other password.
ReplyDeleteRedroobar, you don't need the code from the fountain unless you don't attach the string to the quarter.
Very good game and I think i'm going to spoil it:
ReplyDeleteWALKTHROUGH:
1. Look at the phone in front of u, click it and pick up a STRING.
2. Press the coin return lever a few times (5 times is more then enuf) and u will hear somthing drop.
3. Look at the bottom of the phone ( the place where u will normally look for return coins) and pick up a SOCKET inside.
4. Click Right 3 times and pick up the BINOCULARS
5. From the same screen u pick up the binoculars, click left once.
6. Use the binoculars to look at the SIGN. Remember the Street Name.
7. Go back to the screen with the telephone
8. Click below, and pick up, Yellowpage an look carefully at the left side and click the little crack on the floor, u will pick up a COIN
9. COMBINE Coin with string. Now u can make multiple calls!
10. 1st person to call, Data-tec, Phone Trace service (to find out which phone number u are calling from)
11. 2nd person to call, electrician! NOTE the sentence written on the, NIGHT5 IS A BRIGHT IDEA I dunno wat it means, but seems to me the previous electrician has some form of bright idea.
12. They are close but will prompt u to key in ID followed by #. I guess the previous electrician’s ID should be helpful so key in 644485 (NIGHT5). Look at your phone number pad, you will understand.
13. Use the phone voice option to turn on the electrical supply to the booth. Choose 2 for service administration, key in phone number of your current location (for the lazy ones, its 2679532) and key 1 to turn it on.
14. Look up at the lamp. See a code, GUSH7.
15. From the screen with the phone, go right once and use your binoculars on the water feature, you will realize something is written below. Hmm…. How should I turn off the water? Well call them !
16. When u call them, will tell u close and ask u to key in password or smthg. Well the password is 48747 (GUSH7). Next ask them to switch off the water suppy, now they will ask u to key in the street name. (for those of u tat didn’t follow step 6 of my in walkthrough, the street name is ARCH street.) So key in 2724 and they will turn the water off.
17. Look at the water feature again. Realize it says, “no money 5675 return twice”. Took me awhile for this one but after thinking, well, go back to the phone.
18. This time without putting in the money, key in 5675 and press the coin return button twice. You will again hear something drop. Go back to the place u found the socket and grab a KEY from there
19. Use the key on the BLUE box below the phone and u will get a screw driver without a socket. Combine the socket with the screw driver.
20. Click on the nuts on the phone (beside the red handle) use the socket screw on the nuts to remove them.
21. Zoom out, click on the red handle and a greenish box appears behind the phone!
22. Zoom in towards the box and well play a game!
23. The main clue for this game is stated on the puzzle, “THE WESTERN UNION, 1876”. Go goggle it and you will find the answer. But for the few of u lazy people, LOL, I have it written at the end of the walkthrough.
24. After you are done with the game, go to the screen with a latch on the door! Realized its now open?
25. CONGRATZ! YOU ARE DONE!
The answer to the mini game is “the telephone is inherently of no value to us”
chprice, you will need the password behind the water feature to get the socket screw handle to open the phone to start minigame
ReplyDeleteat least tats wat i think :)
why the coin and the string can't go in the coin hole in the tlephone?
ReplyDeletewhy the coin and the string can't go in the coin hole in the telephone?
ReplyDeleteThe coin and string do go in the coin hole. But you need to turn up your volume to hear everything and hear the person talking.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I've done most of the stuff you guys have...jxlex, you forget to call ME 4 HELP. if you dial 6344357, it will tell you what to do first. which is just call the electric company. I did, and dialed night5, then pressed 2, and dialed 2675932, the phone number, but it said "sorry, that is an invalid location. please enter the phone number of the location you would like to administrate." so, i cant get any farther. i know the sign outside said 'Arch street family park', and im thinking that might be important(jxlex, if you metioned this, i havent read your whole walkthrough cause i want to figure most of it out on my own, which i have so far). BTW, I wouldnt call the grudge gas co., i dialed it, and couldnt figure out what was happening at first, and remembered from the movie "the grudge" when they dialed someone it made that scary noise that was supposedly the grudge. Anyway, if someone could help that would be nice...lol
ReplyDeleteSammy, it's 2679532 not 2675932
ReplyDeleteTHIS GAME DOES NOT WORK WITHOUT HEAD FONE AND I AM AT WORK...
ReplyDeleteuLUCKY ME....

ReplyDeleteit was really buggin me that i couldn't figure it out, but ur walk through helped me a lot!
Thank u soooo much!!!
there is no coin? like the walkthrough said to press coin return 5 times.
ReplyDeleteCool game!
ReplyDeletehi, i have got up to the part where you ring the water company but no matter how many times i ring it still says "unavailable right now", I'm pretty sure by the walk through that I've got every thing in order????? help please .
ReplyDeletenever mind i didn't have to turn off the water after all...lol...I'm done
ReplyDeletejxlex ur a genious in the makin how long did it take u to do it?? man ur walkthroughs really helped but theres just 1 problem wen u type gush7 and ur street name u have 2 type # after each 1 but other than that its all gud:)
ReplyDeletesammy where did u get 2675932 from read my 1st comment then u will understand
ReplyDeletereddc the coin is not in the coin return its under the phone where u find the yello pag there is a little rip in the floor clik on it the the coin is under it
ReplyDeletethis game is very min challanging when is escape 4 comin out

ReplyDeleteHere's how to do it fast.
ReplyDeleteLift Phone receiver. Punch in 5675. Click coin return 5 times.
Remove key and bolt.
Look under telephone.
Remove screw driver. Look back at phone.
Remove screws next to handle.

Answer to mini-game.
The telephone is inherently of no value to us.
Turn around and leave phone booth.
Took me 2:07. Enjoy.
took 1:35
ReplyDeletetook me 1:32
ReplyDeleteok so i did everything up to the point where your supposed to look back at the fountain and get a number. (step 15 in the walk through.) i used the binoculars, but it still donstn say anything. help?
ReplyDeletehey ummm.. well i got most of it so far i just cant find the number below the water fountian, wheres it supposed to be?? HELP ME!
ReplyDeleteKudos to anyone else who figured out the word game without use a walkthrough or google or any other cheat.
ReplyDeleteit took me awhile but i finished in 16:58. I came to this website looking for help and then I decided I would just do this the harder, more rewarding way. My time kinda sucks though.
ReplyDeletewow, its way easier then that, just go behind the light, get the super secret latch opener, and open the latch, its a phone booth, you can just go out the door.
ReplyDeleteMy god it took me 27.18 as when ever I rang the electric company there was no1 there!
ReplyDeleteI had to ring them about at least 5 times b4 anyone answered :(
I cudnt of done it without a walkthrough so ty every1!
Why is it when I dial the password NIGHT5 followed by # the operator tells me it is an invalid password. Laptop about to go out of nearest window!!
ReplyDelete19 minutes!
ReplyDeleteAt the start look up at the light, their's a certain pixel that, when clicked, makes the light come off, inside is a latch opener, get it, turn around and get out.
ReplyDelete21:47 for the first time for me.
ReplyDeletebut i confess, i had to cheat a little.
21:47 for the first time for me.
ReplyDeletebut i confess, i had to cheat a little.
i'm loving escape games though it really requires a lot of thinking.. but to be honest i make use of the cheat codes in playing it..sorry....but eventhough i have cheats sometimes it's still a bit confusing but it's fun..really!
