Only the lonely and I am stuck.
I have found chopsticks and a stick but don't know what to do with it.
Saw a key and a knife but I can't get it.
Saw 2 places where I have to put in numbers but I have no idea about that either.
Saw a puzzle but clueless about that too.
Did I mention that I am stuck?
Will wait for more comments that might help me get further.
Edit:
Okay, I found out that you have to drag items if you want to use them. Got the key now.
Stuck again.

how does one get into this game?

[Icarus3]

MSmiss....that is a good question. I'll check back later and see if anyone has an answer.

I clicked on the first (of three) oblong yellow things... got me into the game

I have

chopsticks (used), key (used), scissors, and 11 diamonds...

I have no idea what the clue in the book is supposed to mean - or the string (?) puzzle, now kinda stuck... hmmm

[Yvonne]

It took me a while before I found out how to get to the game aswell.
This is a direct link to the game
Play Here
Maybe OneBun can add it to first post and delete this message...

Took me some time to find where to click to get game.
What is with the string-light game? I evidently stuck myself *sniff*
i have

used chopsticks and key. I have scissors, stick and 13 of those ?gems

Is anyone still here?
Appears that a storm is coming and closing in - thunder closer. Think moving a chair would be helpful but can't do that. Guess I'll head off line again.

I went to http://www.escapegames24.com/2010/06...lkthrough.html and read hint Sue commented on in post 8. I copied it and perhaps someone will delete it ..

you have to make each group of lights not overlap other groups of lights. i pulled all dots to the middle, then worked systematically outward from there. impossible to explain exactly how, but you have to play around with it. sorry i can't explain exact method

- posted by dideedi. Smalltool added

that the goal is to let no strings cross.

Hmm... Probably too late (midnight here) for me to mess with it long.

[SueJ999]

I only have 11 gems...

Hey found some

string... bottom right drawer of stand with pineapple & watermelon... and I found the stick

Grrr... found out from EG24 that

you have to solve that strings/dots puzzle box to do anything else. Play around with it so no lines cross. I just can't do it

Think I'll give this one up just because of that one!

[MSmiss]

Thx everyone, i guess I was clicking in the wrong place. Icarus, scroll down & click on one of the blue oblongs where it says to choose the best server

[OneBun]

I have put a notation in the first post of the game about the button location. If you try to link to the servers, it only redirects you back to the original page. You have to choose a button for one of the servers to play. It appears the game page owner will not allow the direct link.

OK!! Out with help from EG24. 18 gems but they say that there are 20.
nvm. I found the other two gems.

[tipper75]

YAY! Out with all twenty gems

[Yvonne]

Finally found the time again to do this one.
I needed a lot of help but I did the string puzzle in one try this time.
Got all my gems.

[old biker]

my book with code dissapeared ! before using it
and the string puzzle is driving me crazy
some things youre not meant to do...im gone...

[NannaJoy]

Finially got back tothis one - ran across a note that I didn't finish. I got the knife this time - so a bit further. used other 6 items. 11 gems.
Not a knife. 5 critters and the place that needs numbers, needs just 4. Can't spot another at this point.
That place was wicked to find! - and I got some stuff from that.
And with that stuff got last code
Out. And I'm not sure how many gems I had .. forgot to count.
