Hmmm, despite the 'straightforwardness' of the blue room I'm stuck smiley - erm
Don't want a clue quite just yet though smiley - winkeye

I seem to be able to do nearly everything in the Viridian room except for this bicycle lock combination smiley - erm
Any hints? smiley - biggrin

I haven't had much luck with the blue chamber...

I'm probably only one step away, but it seems like I've done everything I can at the moment.

I've tried 'typing' in the h e l p m e letters/numbers (and hlpme) If it's more difficult than that because I don't do txtspk.. Oh, well.

I think the number changes every time you play, so you'll have to find the clue for the number. It's been awhile since I did that one so I can't remember where it was.

Spoiler/Help warning If you don't want to view it, scroll down very very fast.






























You're along the right lines with dialling HELP ME. Remember that there's a skull on the paper too that you have to dial. What on a phone looks like a skull? Where does it come on the page?

Viridian room - got everything (I think), but what do I do with the hair? And is it important which symbols go on which numbers on the dice? And then what do I do with it? I assume the beer has to be cold before dinging the bell.

All help appreciated before I throw my mouse in the bin!

Strange. Maybe try clearing out your cookies for the site and reloading the page. It might just be a problem with an old cache or something? smiley - erm

Worked just fine for me.
