Title: Mr. Stick adventure (chapter 1)
Post by: Sneak on April 26, 2018, 08:07:19 PM
Welcome to the game!

Rules are simple!

- Everyone are welcome here to join and play!
- I post pictures sequences together with text that describes what's going on in game. Then you post COMMAND what character should do.
- Objective: ESCAPE! :D Explore rooms, take items to inventory, examine things, solve puzzles, be careful and don't ask for hints/clues from author (me :p ). To check your current inventory, post a COMMAND for it.
- Please, do not make multiple action commands in your single post, and make only one post per turn, so many people are able to play every turn. :)

(Rules can be updated in future. I will check my archives and look for old rules.)

Good luck and let's try to make fun!

EDIT:

Found old rules and recommendations!

Here:

Quote
ADDITIONAL RULES AND FEATURES

1) I read and respond on all your commands/posts, with exception: I don't consider old useless repeating commands. So, if you can't see your commands in my story posts, it means I ignored them on purpose, because they're repeating.

2) Please, do not make several commands in the same post or in short period of time. Let other players play too!

3) If you want to examine items from inventory, to look at them closer, you should give individual COMMAND for that. Exceptions are NOTES, that will be read by mr. Stick automatically.

4) DON'T ASK me about hints. If I see you're TRULY deeply stuck, myself will give you unique "clues" by Stick's thoughs and speech. But PRETTY PLEASE, try to solve puzzles by yourself. Ok?

5) Be observant. Try to notice every tiny detail in rooms, including my own errors during drawing! (duplicated or disappeared objects, misplacing, etc)

I would keep updating them during the play.

You are mr. Stick, and you awaked in... some dark room.
Recommend commands, please.

It's sad I wasn't able to finish this game project here on forum. :'(

Well, hopeing for the best.

See you later, mr. Stick!
You will escape this WEIRD PLACE one day! :D

@StardustSoldier :
Thank you for respond, Stardust. :)

Now I'm not sure... Since playing it alone won't be so interesting. I was hoping that community will be interested in something new and different.

But if you really has a will to play, even alone, walk this path till the end - I don't mind. :D

So, shall we start?
Title: Re: Mr. Stick adventure (chapter 1)
Post by: StardustSoldier on April 25, 2019, 01:23:49 PM
Well maybe someone else will want to join in once we get going. But either way, yes, I'm still good to participate.

One question first, though. How exactly do the commands work? Is each command limited to one word?
Title: Re: Mr. Stick adventure (chapter 1)
Post by: Sneak on April 25, 2019, 02:41:12 PM
Thank you. :)


Well, commands can be short like "Mr. Stick: Try to open a door" or "go down the room", or many-sentenses long, with detailed describition of action, and your personal thoughts about why you think its better to do this or that, etc. :)
Title: Re: Mr. Stick adventure (chapter 1)
Post by: StardustSoldier on April 25, 2019, 11:52:42 PM
Alrighty. Well I'll start this off simple then.

COMMAND: Try to open the door.

Mr. Stick looks around. It is very dark here, because there is no visible light sources except some glowing red square on center wall, and some white round circle on the left wall.

(https://imgur.com/nDQag92.png)

He tries to recognize if there's a door in this room, but he can't find it right now. His eyes see badly through darkness.

If there was light switch somewhere to light the room, it would be so much better...

Can you guide mr. Stick where should he go?

COMMAND: Head towards the glowing red square.

Mr. Stick slowly gets up from the floor and comes to far wall, right to where glowing red rectangle is located.

It looks like it is some sort of indicator light. Or button.

It is yet another hole. This time on the floor corner. It's much bigger, mr. Stick can put his arm on it...
!!!
Mr. Stick can see something is lying at the bottom of this hole, but mr. Stick can't reach and get it. His arms are too short.

Mr. Stick takes a closer look at the place where light comes from a door.

(https://imgur.com/SCkvnbQ.png)

There's a simple doorknob with a keyhole.
It seems that door should be opened with a simple key,which Mr. Stick doesn't have right now... Does he?
Mr. Stick also peeks through keyhole.
He can see lit room at the other side, that's where source of light come from. This light together with a dim red light from switch button are only things that helps mr.Stick to barely navigate through dark room.
Mr. stick can't recognize any interesting objects in room behind the door. Just walls and lights.

No. There's solid metal wall, and hole is part of it. Mr. Stick can't change size of the hole, or make any dent on the wall itself.

<Excuse me. I'm so stupid. I forgot to add key detail to dark room when it lights were turned off. I edited the picture and added Mr. Stick reaction to it. Here: http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=15974.msg479704#msg479704>

Alright then. Turn the light on (if it isn't already), then go to the grayish hole on the corner of the floor. Try reaching down into it, but this time holding the key. Whatever is lying at the bottom of that hole, can Mr. Stick touch it with the key?

It's too shady to see clearly what it is, because hole is narrow and lights are not above it, but mr. Stick thinks something is at the bottom, because this thingy has different color, blue, if he's correct.
Approximally, hole is two-three mr. Stick's arms length. He's not sure.

Maybe mr. Stick should do something else, recheck the room for example, to find something that won't let him potentially permanently lose key items he has now, and to be stuck in this weird place forever?..

Post by: StardustSoldier on June 03, 2019, 06:13:31 PM
Yeah, I had a feeling that might be a bad idea. But, again, I wanted to be thorough in exploring my options.

Mr. Stick tired to be stuck in this place!
He turns on the lights, and decides to release his anger on strong corner hole, trying to kick and push it to make it wider in hope of... he doesn't know. Hope it will be wide enough so he can climb down and take whatever is at the bottom!

Mr. Stick puts both items to his INVENTORY.

Let's simply try to unlock the door by picking at the door's lock with the thin metal rod.

Mr. Stick doesn't know how to open doors with picklock, but he assumes there could be some kind of smart mechanism in the door's keyhole that opens a door with no doorkey but with thin rod placed in keyhole, or does some other thing... Architect of this place can be a weirdo. So, he takes a chance.

Mr. Stick thinks that even his hand with metal rod can't reach object at the bottom of corner hole, since it's two-three human arms length, and metal rod's is just about 1/3 human arm length. Anyway, he decides to check. Plus, after he inserted rod inside wall hole, bottom of corner hole could lift or something like this.

Mr. Stick takes metal rod back.

*click*

This sound appears again...

And then he goes to check corner hole.

No, it seems that hole's bottom didn't move anywhere, and he still can't reach object.

Alright, so I know that a clicking noise can be heard when he inserts the metal rod into the black hole. Can he get a good sense of direction for the source of the sound? Mr. Stick can try the process of inserting the metal rod, taking it out, and reinserting it many times to get a good idea hopefully of where it's coming from.

He is sure that clicking sound sounds somewhere behind him, and not so close to him, at least not near right wall (where he is right now) and its corners.
And... it seems that...

Source of the sound is somewhere on or near the far wall (where light switch is), if he's not mistaken. He's not sure on what height though. It can be near the floor or near the ceiling.

But he still can't see anything suspicious.

Perhaps taking out the metal rod from that hole was a mistake in the first place. Go back to the gray hole and try to reach the item inside while leaving the metal rod in the black hole on the wall.

No. Hole bottom is at the same position. He still can't reach item.

Mr. Stick goes to investigate new glowing object on the wall.

It's yet another small hole. Very bright light comes from other side of the hole.
It looks exactly like door keyhole, just smaller.

Good job, StardustSoldier! :celebrate
Turning off the lights was actually going to be my next step before you arrived.

I wonder about that smaller door keyhole that has recently been revealed. Hmm... :thinking

Will using the key that Mr. Stick already has in his inventory work with that keyhole?

Surely the key that was available since the beginning isn't completely useless, is it?

Mr. Stick takes small key in his hand and tries to use it on the lock, hoping this time it fits...

...and it fits! Mr. Stick turns the key and opens hidden cache!

He dares to look inside.

Inside the cache there are source of the light - activated flashlight, another sheet of paper, and sort of button on the wall.

Based on my quick research, 636 seems to be an angel number. A good sign I suppose.

Now then, inspect the black dot that was just found behind the paper. Is it a button like the red button above it, or something entirely different?

Hmm...what surprise hides behind the prize of freedom? ;)

<More puzzles, rooms and mechanisms await you ahead! At least in nearest future. It's all I can say now.
Very honestly - I don't know what will happen at the end. Since originaly story, its plot elemnt, rooms, puzzles - everything were creating  only after reading players' last commands. Nothing was created more far then one step ahead (by step I mean single pair of posts "your commands - my reaction on them"). :) >


Imagine if it was another room and locked door that looked identical to this one. :p


Unfortunatelly, this is what Mr. Stick thinks so. He is sure it won't be too easy to simply get out of there after solving one puzzle. Considering things he has seen so far, even if there was just a few things - whoever put him here without his will, with unknown final purpose, won't let him go to freedom so easily.
He thinks so not only because of being here in current dark circumstances. Mr. Stick has kinda pecimistic character in his daily life.
But he won't give up. He must reak through to freedom, no matter what obstacles will be met on its way!

Ok, where did he stop?

Yes, the button! Mr. Stick likes green color more than red. Its color whispers him that it's safe... So he almost without any fear presses the button...

<Bye, Tinypic. Hello, Imgur.
We're back!>

Climb down the ladder and inspect the room.

Still being freaked up by loud sound of solid hatch, mr. Stick hopes that this weird place he woke up doesn't contain any harmful traps...
No, he throws such thoughts away, hoping that he won't meet traps on the way to his freedom, and hoping this passage would lead him somewhere good, maybe to his ultimate escape from this weird place. And besides, he simply tired to stay inside this boring room!
And with such thoughts, mr. Stick starts his descent.

(https://imgur.com/dGyUj78.png)

(https://imgur.com/R94fbPW.png)

(https://imgur.com/Z0mEpJE.png)

Descending with flashlight on his hand was uncomfortable enough, but mr. Stick managed to move down carefully.

He stopped in the mid of descending, looking down to part of the room below.

(https://imgur.com/34n1OG6.png)

Another hole on the wall caught mr. Stick's eye.

(https://imgur.com/mNQv5e2.png)

At first sight, this hole appeared to be a little larger than previous ones, as mr. stick thinks... He can be mistaken though. Also, he couldn't see anything at the other side of the hole.

Mr. Stick continues his descent, and stepped to the room below.

(https://imgur.com/1xX9pTL.png)

New room is smaller then room above. He decides to make a quick look at surroundings, moving beam of flashlight around...

Mr. Stick is not Stickman! "Stickman" is surname of one of mr. Stick's neighbours.
Mr. Stick's surname is Stick!

Mr.Stick goes to the 'gray hole' on the left wall...
and it appeared that it isn't the hole. It is some kind of button.

Anyway, mr. Stick tries to push the button with rubber tube, even if it looks weird right now...

Yeah, it seems that rubber tube is not made to push this button.
Mr. Stick didn't see or hear anything happened after he pressed the button.

I have a feeling that rubber tube might be useful for something else later, so put it away in the inventory for now.

That other box seems to have some kind of lock on it, so check to see if it can be opened or if it needs a key of some sort.

Mr. Stick has to say this button is strange. After he pressed it with his finger, button continues to move into depth of the wall. Mr. Stick's hand has already stuck in button's hole, but this weird button continues to move. He can't push it any longer, but he didn't feel resistance or hear any noise that would indicate that button was successfully "pressed". After he removes his hand, button returns to itrs original position.

Anyway, he does so three times. He didn't hear or see anything changed in this room.

(https://imgur.com/a8KS7UJ.png)

Maybe he just can't notice. Or it did something in different place. Or it didn't work at all. Mr. stick decides to climb room upstairs to make a quick look.

Well, no point in keeping the first room dark if the flashlight's batteries are starting to wear out, so might as well flip the light-switch in that room. (At least that way, having both rooms lit would also illuminate the passageway between the two rooms.)

Be observant.
There's only two pictures/rooms, made in simple drawing method.
Any element that seems to be off, differs from general picture, anything... Try to inspect it.

Also, there's one 100% puzzle in these two rooms, you have everything to solve it, but it's kinda difficult one. I referenced to this puzzle in Discord:

I always trying to make it not just believable, but possible.
like mr. Stick adventure puzzles, for example. Some of them I tested in real life before adding to game. Puzzle you are stuck with right now.

<Ok. Let's try my new method to give hints...>

Mr. Stick:

It seems I'm stuck for a while. What should I do?..

Maybe it's dead end, and I can't do anything?..

No! I am absolutely sure that weirdo who put me in this stupid place for some reason would not put here such amount of random items and strange mechanisms, put these... "puzzles", would not do all this only to make me trapped here without solution to proceed further!

Something I missed...
Something I didn't think about or didn't try to do...

Hmm...

(https://imgur.com/97OpP6Q.png)

What we have here?

Set of items.

- big blank sheet of paper
- flashlight (its energy is almost empty)
- small paper with numbers on it
- long thin rubber tube
- thin metal rod (currently is placed in wall hole)

(https://imgur.com/sAdldxW.png)

Next, what objects we have in this room?

- Strange button on the wall that seems to move endlessly inside the wall when you presses it
- Ordinary yellow cardboard box
- Hole in the wall, metal rod can be placed there
- Large locked chest. It seems it can be opened with KEY
- Ordinary looking lamps
- Lightswitch
- Set of wall ladders
- Hole in the wall inside shaft passage

(https://imgur.com/0ArwJ0K.png)

Finally, what we have in upper room?

- Solid looking hatch, opens the passage to lower room behind it
- Hole in the wall. Metal rod can be placed there
- Thin corner hole, contains some object at the bottom. Mr. Stick can't determine what object is because of lamps positon in the room, and can't reach it with its arms.
- Lightswitch
- Ordinary looking lamps
- Wall cache with another HOLE for metal rod that activates BUTTON that controls hatch, as it seems.
- Simple door, with doorknob and keyhole. Can be opened with KEY.
- Some weird writings on walls that can be seen by human's eye only after they are lit with light, as mr. Stick understood.

(https://imgur.com/dvgUKwn.png)

Did mr. Stick examine everything enough? Items in his inventory? Objects in rooms? Did he interact with everyhing in all possible proper ways?..

<Find the way and helpt mr. Stick to move further! :D >

We've already seen the glow-in-the-dark wall writings in the upper room, but not yet checked the lower room for them, so let's turn off the lights in that lower room and check it out.

We've already seen the glow-in-the-dark wall writings in the upper room, but not yet checked the lower room for them, so let's turn off the lights in that lower room and check it out.

Suddenly, mr. Stick realizes he didn't see any hidden writings on lower room! But maybe they are indeed hidden there...
He quickly goes down and turns off the lights.

yes. They're here.

If the writing on the wall doesn't deceive me, then perhaps puting the thin metal rod inside that hole was a bad idea. Take it out for now. Inspect that purple S. Can anything be done with it or lead to any sort of clue?

Mr. Stick  takes the rod from wall hole and puts it to his inventory.

Then he examines "S" writing more closely.

It seems that it's just simple area of simple wall, painted with fluorescent paint.
Nothing special in this area of the wall. But what does "S" mean, and other similar writings?..

I wonder about that smaller door keyhole that has recently been revealed. Hmm... :thinking

Will using the key that Mr. Stick already has in his inventory work with that keyhole?

Surely the key that was available since the beginning isn't completely useless, is it?

Mr. Stick takes small key in his hand and tries to use it on the lock, hoping this time it fits...

...and it fits! Mr. Stick turns the key and opens hidden cache!

(https://imgur.com/97hcjSz.png)

He dares to look inside.

(https://imgur.com/pBeaFm8.png)

Inside the cache there are source of the light - activated flashlight, another sheet of paper, and sort of button on the wall.

<Congratulations! You solved the first puzzle!
Much more awaits you up ahead...>

Hmm...remember this crucial step where I used the key he already had since the beginning to open the cache? Strangely enough, it's no longer in his inventory and I see no way he would've gotten rid of it based on all of his actions afterward.

But wait! Maybe the key is still there! Go to the top room and retrieve the key that he used to open the cache. Maybe Mr. Stick didn't take it out yet?

Looks the same. Mr. Stick can't reach it.
Also, despite he can't see it properly due to shadow, this thing at the bottom is not doorkey. Maybe square-shaped, and definitelly blue.

Can Mister Stick use the tube to suction up the blue square thingy? From what I saw, it should be long enough to reach, so it would be a matter of his lungcapacity/weight of the thingy.

Nice idea!
Mr. stick puts one edge of the rubber tube in the hole and lowers it, trying to reach the bottom.

(https://imgur.com/zp7nYrq.png)

Yes! Tube reached hole's bottom and its item. Stick sucks in as hard as he can, using other edge of the tube, and pulls tube out of hole, hoping this method will get that item from the hole.

Mr. Stick goes to chest to see if he can open it with keycard somehow.

No, There's no cardreader or some slot. There's lock with keyhole. So, if there's no some secret mechanism, then chest can be opened with key.
Keycard is a key too, but not in this case...

Oh, understood now.
Mr. Stick holds keycard in front of all four known holes (just in case), and in front of two light switches, hoping there's secret mechanism that reads keycards that would do something good to help him get out sooner.

In the basement, I have an idea. See those two light lamps hanging from the ceiling? There may be something hidden or taped within those cone shaped light fixtures. Reach into them and prod around for anything unusual.

Also, wave the key card on them for good measure. :P

Mr. Stick looks at both lamps, and, indeed, notices strange shadow going from left lamp. He examines it more closely...

(https://imgur.com/eyteqaE.png)

Yes! There is some item hidden in the lamp! Mr. Stick takes it.

(https://imgur.com/SpUAoq7.png)

Good eye! Now mr. Stick has a KEY.

He also moves keycard in front of lamps, with no effects.

Mr. Stick stands to think about it.

Even if this place is super weird, full with hidden mechanisms, still - there should be logic in all of this. And secret cardreader, invicible for human's eye, falls from this general logic picture. Something must give you a clear hint that there's secret cardreader in some object, or some other secret item or mechanism. So, before you got that hint, there's no need to use blindly some item on another.

By the way, cardreader could be hidden inside the lamp, for example, but at the same time, he could be visible for human's eye. Mr. Stick wants to say that you didn't ask him to inspect lamps more closely before. Even if there wasn't key or won't be cardreader inside, there still could be something. Another item, writing, etc. Mr. Stick should be more observant to details and be more inspective.

Mr. Stick takes long metal rod. It has a screw at the end. He checks if it can be used on wall holes.

As mr. Stick can see, no, it doesn't fit with them. What about bigger hole in ladder shaft?

(https://imgur.com/e5Z1WK2.png)

Long rod is too... long. He can't place it horizontally.

Mr. Stick puts metal rod to his inventory, returns to chest and takes heavy object that lies at the bottom. It looks like some H-tech portable safe. It's pretty heavy, so he can't take it with him far away, so he puts it on chest.

Mr. Stick is not sure. He decides to show H-tech closer for you.

(https://imgur.com/EIGix5h.png)

On ts front side, there are seven buttons, three not-working displays, and two slots.

Logic says that displays in the middle, possibly, are used for showing code numbers, and buttons around them are for switching numbers. But displays doesn't show anything. Looks like safe is "turned off".

Also, safe has a door at the bottom side, but expectedly, it is locked.

Well, it looks likes it’s turned off...but Mr. Stick hasn’t attempted to press any buttons. Hopefully numbers, so then the 636 number combination can be used.

If it still doesn’t work...perhaps the H-tech has a battery compartment? Show us every single side of that safe. If there’s one found, Mr. Stick could maybe use the batteries from his flashlight and insert it in there.

If all goes well and it powers on, then insert the key card in the slot. It should insert properly by then.

Examine the new tool closer. What could it’s purpose be? :thinking

Mr. Stick does so.

It looks like weird screwdriver. With two different tips of different length.

First, use the circular tip of the screwdriver to unscrew those screws at the bottom of the chest. It should work. If not for some reason, then move on to the next tip.

Mr. Stick hopes this tool would unscrew small metal plate at the bottom of chest.
And minute later, all four screws are unscrewed!

Something was hidden under the plate.
From the first look, it is some kind of small battery.

636 number combination can be used

Mr. stick tries to press buttons and change numbers, but no reaction. Numbers remain to be 000.

Mr. Stick sets "636" code...

Nothing happens.

Following the logic, mr. Stick carefully tries to press remaining button, with down arrow on it...

No. I did make Mr. Stick do some kind of action four times as I thought it would be connected to the 4, but obviously that didn't work. I don't remember a 2 being on the wall in the dark though.

Though he doesn't know anyone with name or nickname "Sneak", and didn't find any note about him in this weird place, so mr. Stick doubts some personal preferences of some random guy are the key to any of puzzles, not before mr. Stick finds some clue that would hint to this person.

About other numbers - that's it. Mr. Stick is sure that if he didn't miss anything, wall numbers and numbers on paper, both sets or only one, are keys to find correct code to the safe.

Mr. Stick  turns lights back on, and check his inventory.

Mr. Stick currently has:

- big blank sheet of paper
- flashlight (without batteries)
- small paper with numbers on it
- long thin rubber tube
- strange looking tool, can be used as screwdriver
- thin metal rod
- long metal stick with screw at the end
- H-tech portable safe (too heavy to carry for long time. Currently it is placed on metal chest in lower room)
- two small batteries (their energy is almost empty)

I'm not sure if it's bad penmanship, but the "3" on that paper looks more like a backwards "E". Could it be the paper is simply upside down and the note on it should read "9E9"? I'm running low on ideas at this point, so I'm pretty much just throwing out something random here.

Or maybe he overplayed and overwatched a lot of action games and movies, where red color is "bad color".

If you turn the piece of paper that says 636, it looks like it says 9E9 (Thanks for that idea, Chronicler) E is the fifth letter in the alphabet, so if you replace E with 5 , you get 959.

Also, he decided to leave small paper with safe code and safe itself on the floor behind, since he thinks they are useless now, though he can take them back ay time if it will be necessary.

Metal box is pretty light weighed. Also, while he was taking box from the floor, some noise can be heard from inside of it. Hmm?

He shakes the box a little and listens closely to it.

Mr. Stick inspects to see if he can unscrew them with his tool.

No good. It's different type of screws. More rivet-like.

If you mean little screws inside the chest, then he can't insert metal rod inside screw's slots.

If you mean metal box's screws, then still no. It seems he can't unscrew these rivets with any of his tools.

Mr. Stick is sure that metal box contains some useful items that will help him to escape this place. and since he doesn't have any tools to open it, it seems that he should try break this box... What if he simply tries to drop it from upper room down the shaft to bottom room?

Mr. Stick throws metal box down the shaft.

Mr. Stick just realized he never tried to knock the door, cry for help, demand to let him out or do something to make somebody who can be here somewhere to hear him.

He decides to knock the door and ask if someone there.

Okay, after looking back at some of the old pictures from this game, I noticed something quite odd. In the top right corner of the room, there is what looks like a security camera. I think that someone is watching Mr. Stick!  :o (Scary music plays.) I have the picture below that had the possible security camera.

<Usually, I am radical about giving any hints, but maybe gamew is silent because nobody has an idea what to do, so... ok. I will try.>



Mr. Stick: Hmm, it seems I'm stuck again. What should I do next?..

What do I have in my inventory?

(https://imgur.com/uegnYUg.png)

- big blank sheet of paper
- flashlight (without batteries)
- long thin rubber tube
- thin metal rod
- long metal stick with screw at the end
- strange looking tool, can be used as screwdriver
- small paper with strange symbols on it
- strong metal box
- two small batteries (their energy is almost empty)

Now, what room objects we have in two rooms?

(https://imgur.com/sSNCIKJ.png)

Upper room:

- Simple door, with doorknob and keyhole. Can be opened with the KEY.
- Ordinary looking lamps.
- Lightswitch. Turns on and off the lights in the room.
- Some weird writings on walls that can be seen only in the darkness and only after they were lit with light for some time.
- Wall cache with hole for metal rod that activates button that controls hatch on the floor.
- Hole in the wall for metal rod. Used to open keyhole of wall cache.
- Thin corner hole. Look like nothing inside there now.
- Solid looking hatch, controlled by button in wall cache. When it is opened, there's shaft passage to lower room.

(https://imgur.com/1UzRtNx.png)

Lower room:

- Hole in the wall inside shaft passage.
- Set of wall ladders.
- Ordinary looking lamps.
- Lightswitch. Turns on and off the lights in the room.
- Some weird writings on walls that can be seen only in the darkness and only after they were lit with light for some time.
- Ordinary yellow cardboard box. Empty now.
- Large chest. Too heavy to move or attached to the floor. Empty now.
- Hole in the wall. Metal rod can be placed there. No visual effects was found so far.
- Button on the wall that can be moved inside the wall very deep. It threw out one item when it was pushed to its limit.

Looks like every item and room object I found here is for some purpose, if they're not to distract me, of course. So, here are items and room objects with unknown purpose, or their purpose is known (I think), but still there's need to do something with them:

- Door in upper room. I HAVE to find the KEY and open it.
- What's the meaning of some hidden writings?..
- What two holes in lower room are for?
- What big blank paper is for? There's no hiden writings on it, at least the same as on walls. Or was its sole purpose is to cover thin metal rod?..
- Purpose of the screw at the end of long metal rod?
- If the tool is just screwdriver, why it looks so strange and has extra tip?
- What mysterious symbols on small paper mean?
- This solid metal box has something inside... Maybe its purpose to be opened somehow?

Hmm...
I have a very strong feeling that I DIDN'T miss any clue or item in both rooms to make some progress. I hope, at least... So, it seems I have to do something with my current items and visible objects in rooms.

Mr. Stick pushes every side of metal box, every screw-rivet, even tries to push two sides at the same time, looking for secret mechanism that would open the box...

(https://imgur.com/CDC7C9n.png)

Nothing happeend.
Looks like these rivets are not secret buttons, at least, he didn't feel like any of it can be pushed inside the box like a button. They are just rivets, and other no sign of secret mechanism can be seen in every side of the box. Maybe there's some super hidden secret lock, but he can't reveal it for now. Or maybe it should be opened with another way?

<Yay! We are moving forward!>

Mr. Stick is not sure what to do next...

(https://imgur.com/bqz2IUi.png)

Not so long ago, he made a long analysis in his mind of everything he has at this moment, but it didn't bring any results at now...
He tries again.

Ok, I am almost 100% sure I didn't miss any clue or item in both rooms...
Now, back to the list of items and room objects with unknown purpose, or their purpose is known, but still there's need to do something with them.... I can analyze and make comment on every option.

- Door in upper room. I HAVE to find the KEY and open it.

Well, I HAVEN'T a key at this moment, so I can't open a door right now.

- What's the meaning of some hidden writings?..

I'm sure they have to do with something, but at this moment, I don't know. Maybe they are clues for future puzzles.

- What two holes in lower room are for?

I can insert metal rod in one hole, but nothing changes in both rooms, and, considering both previous holes changed something when I inserted a rod inside, maybe something is changed in some other place?..
Nothing from my inventory can be insirted in other hole, so maybe I can't use it... for now.

- What big blank paper is for? There's no hiden writings on it, at least the same as on walls. Or was its sole purpose is to cover thin metal rod?..

I have no clue. Maybe at this moment, it hasn't any use.

- Purpose of the screw at the end of long metal rod?

I can't attach anything to this screw at this moment, or vice versa. Maybe in the future...

- If the tool is just screwdriver, why it looks so strange and has extra tip?

I have no idea. At this moment, I managed to unscrew metal plate in chest, using middle tip, since this tip has a thin form that fits with screws' slots... What other tip is for? What form does it have? Did I ever inspect this tool more closely?..

- What mysterious symbols on small paper mean?

I have no idea... My imagination can see drawings of two certain items I have in my inventory right now, but maybe it is just imagination, since I can't see how these two items can be combined or something at this moment.... Speaking of certain items...

- This solid metal box has something inside... Maybe its purpose to be opened somehow?

... I HAVE to open this box! I feel it! Am I sure I can't open it in any way at this moment?..

Yeah, this tool's form resembles number 4. It's  sad that mr. Stick can't insert it inside the hole inside wall cache, or do anything else in there.

Mr. Stick once again examines metal box.

(https://imgur.com/Al3SrMJ.png)

Metal box is not too heavy, but strong and sealed.
It has set of rivets on all sides, but he can't open it with physical force, using his bare hands or any of tools from his inventory.
It can't be opened or deformed with gravity force, if he drops it to the floor from highest point in uper room to lowest point in lower room with some force.
It hasn't any hidden writings on it. It hasn't any buttons on it. Seems it hasn't any secret mechanism inside to open it at all.
It has some items with some weight inside, he can hear they move when he shakes the box.


Mr. Stick is sure he should open it to get that items!!!
But is there some way to open it now?

Maybe leave the metal rod in the hole and then examine the other holes, see if any of them have turned into pushable buttons.

If nothing changes, check both sides of the metal rod to ensure they're the same. If they aren't, it might matter what end of the rod is stuck in the hole

Just reading through the thread again to catch up on what all I missed since I last played.
:ChomperPOG

I know this sounds crazy, but I say we push the red button.

Cache button is red again, after metal rod was removed from hole. Green button allowed him to open passage to lower room, but now he wonders what red button does...

As mr. Stick stated before, he likes green color more than red.
For some reason... red colored buttons make mr. Stick shiver a very little...
Or maybe he overplayed and overwatched a lot of action games and movies, where red color is "bad color".

He made his decision and presses the button...

...

Nothing happens.

Maybe red color means that button is just deactivated.

Lol! I was on page 5 and I noticed that the red button was never pushed, and that was going to be my next suggestion because I still wanted to know what it did. But Little Bro beat me to it. :P

But anyway, I'll wait and see what happens next with Flathead and aabicus before I make my next move.

Not sure if this has been done before or not, but can Mr. Stick allow the blank paper to get an ample out of light, then check it in the darkness to see if there's a hidden message like on the walls?

Mr. Stick checks paper with simbols for signs of hidden messages...

He can't find any.

Maybe leave the metal rod in the hole and then examine the other holes, see if any of them have turned into pushable buttons.

If nothing changes, check both sides of the metal rod to ensure they're the same. If they aren't, it might matter what end of the rod is stuck in the hole

Mr. Stick inspects thin metal rod from all angles.

Both sides of the rod look the same.

Mr. Stick isn't sure what exact hole he should insert the rod into, since there's three fitting holes, so he decides to insert thin metal rod in all possible holes two times, trying both sides, to check if there's something new.

Just for the sake of convenience, I'm listing Mr Stick's current inventory right here:
- big blank sheet of paper
- flashlight (without batteries)
- long thin rubber tube
- thin metal rod
- long metal stick with screw at the end
- strange looking tool, can be used as screwdriver
- small paper with strange symbols on it
- strong metal box
- two small batteries (their energy is almost empty)


Any chance that the long metal stick with the screw at the end could be used to pry open the rivets on the metal box?

No, long metal rod's ends can't unscrew rivets, or remove them with physical force.

I should open the box. Without physical force, using items from my inventory. Or with any force, using room objects. Or combination of inventory items and room objects.

OK, so Mr. Stick cannot open the box with brute force, gravity, or items from the inventory. Since it is made of metal, do we have something in the room that could be used as a powerful magnet?

If not, can we somehow use the batteries and the metal rod to create a current between them and give the box an electric shock? I doubt we can heat it up to the point where it will melt haha. No idea if that will do anything :P

Powerful magnet? hmm... Not bad idea.
But it has to be a reeeeeeeealy powerful magnet, as mr. Stick thinks. Since all box's sides are connected together with rivets very tight.

But where he can find such magnet here?..

<Mr. Stick wants to say - YOU have to find where we can get this magnet. :P

hmm.. melting the box - not bad idea as well.

But, like with magnet, it has to be a lot of heat and electricity to make box be affected enough. Mr. Stickis afraid that with two ALMOST EMPTY 1,5V or so batteries he can't do such procedure.

Plus, he doesn't work well with electricity, and probably he would refuse to perform such home-made experiments without good protection, if he had some super overpowered batteries.

Stand on the top floor and huck the box down the hole to the bottom floor. Depending on how sturdy the metal is, the percussive force might be enough to at least warp the metal and puncture a hole to pry it open with the rod.

Mr. Stick remembers how he already dropped metal box down the hole with force. How it didn't get a single scratch.

He tries again.

Step 1. Using the metal box as a bludgeon, shatter one of the two lamps on the bottom floor and remove the lightbulb. Shatter the bulb if it isn’t broken already
Step2. Remove the batteries from the flashlight
Step3. Commit the non-blank paper to memory and crumple it up. Shred the cardboard box into a pile with the paper ball in the center.
Step 4. Press a positive and negative end of each battery against the base of the lightbulb. This will ignite the filament.
Step 5. Press the filament against the paper ball to start a campfire. Use the fire to see if the blank paper has a message written in invisible ink/lemon juice. Toss it on the fire for fuel after committing any message to memory.
Step 6. Once the campfire is going, leave the metal box in the fire and stay in the top floor with the trapdoor shut, to prevent smoke from filling both rooms.
Step7. The campfire will superheat the metal, hopefully making it more malleable and damageable via either percussive force or stabbing its weak spot with the metal rod.

So many steps there!

Mr. Stick has to think... Breaking or destroying something in this WEIRD PLACE should be LAST option, only if nothing else can be done. Who knows, maybe we will need to-be-broken item in the future for something...

Mr. Stick made a decision. One lit lamp in lower room should be enough to illuminate the room. He will try to remove the lightbulb and get access to the base of bulb.

Mr. Stick turns off the light before "working" with electrical objects.

Step 1! Go!

(https://imgur.com/L4BE9GJ.png)

!

He tries to remove lightbulb, but it won't move. Seems that it hasn't standart screw base. He can't remove it in any possible way.

He tries to remove lampshade to get a better view of bulb, but it won't move.

Taking a deep breath and gathering his strength, he hits the lamp!!!

He turns on the light to see results...

Lamp didn't get a scratch!

Seems that he failed on the very first step!

It makes Mr. Stick think that architect of this WEIRD PLACE made lamp unbreakable on purpose. To not let him get lightbulb or operate with it in any way...

No use. He can only remove batteries.

<Ok, small announcement for everyone.

After previous post, I think I can give you one more "hint".
Solution to the puzzle is muuuuch easier that was described in that 7-steps procedure. XD
You don't need some deep knowledge of electricity, chemicals, universe gravity, or any other complex stuff. Not for this puzzle, not for any further puzzles. I try to make puzzles for ordinary people, so everyone can solve them.
Well, there MAY be some exceptions in the future. :) But not generally.

You already have everything at hand to open this box. There's no hidden or undiscovered stuff in rooms or in inventory items (relating to this puzzle, at least). You don't have to do some modifications to them, don't have to inspect them again.>

Flathead770 and I have been discussing this a couple of times over the past few months, but we have no idea how to open the box. We would attempt to remove the rivets by prying open the box, perhaps by inserting the screwdriver from the side and using it as a crowbar?

Hmm, now I'm thinking...
Maybe you all can't find a solution to this puzzle because, well, it's not standart, and - you could potentially miss one very significant detail, thinking it is not relevant and dismissing it, or not realizing it can work that way.

If no solution will be presented in a week, I will try to use a different approach of giving hints. About this puzzle, at least.
Still - try to find a solution by your own. :) Try to look at EVERYTHING in these both rooms and your inventory. Checking through stuff, don't dismiss them so quickly - make sure it really can't be used for puzzle solution. Try to look at them "at different angle".>

What we have here, around and with us?

Inventory:
- big blank sheet of paper
- flashlight (without batteries)
- long thin rubber tube
- thin metal rod
- long metal stick with screw at the end
- strange tool
- small paper with symbols
- STUPID STRONG METAL BOX
- two small batteries (energy is almost empty)

Mr. stick has a clear picture of all rooms and items in his mind.

We have to find a way to open the box.

Now, it's up to you:

Point what room object or inventory item we should eliminate, one by one, and mr. Stick will erase it from the picture in his mind.
Point what can be dismissed without a doubt, what can't be used to open the box logically.
While pointing, write a brief short explanation, why you think so, even if it's obvious. and let's see if mr. Stick agrees with you on it.

Please, write two options at max in single post. Let's analyze it slowly and carefully.

Great start!

Indeed, these items are too weak to do any physical damage to the box.

Also, mr. Stick can add that their thinness and bending abilities are useless now, since there's no single gap or something like that in the box, as we found out. And mr. Stick is definitely sure these items can't be used as components to some futuristic cutter or chemical bomb or any other complex smart methods to cut the box open! :P

And mr. Stick checked through all rooms many times, being sure that he didn't miss anything, like some smarty mechanism, made by insane constructor of this weird place, that can open the box and requires cardboard box or entering symbols from paper to be operated with.

In other words - it's impossible to use them for opening metal box.

Makes sense, do you agree with mr. Stick?

Let's eliminate cardboard box and both papers then!

Holes... Mr.Stick can see...

But let's be more specific and consequent. There's a lot of different holes in both rooms.
Mr. Stick wants you to point what holes you want to eliminate from the picture with describing, in what room hole is located, if anything else can be used on hole, and what result happens after this interaction.

Well, in this case, mr. Stick remembers.
First hole that was hidden behind cardboard box does nothing, it seems. Even after he inserts thin metal rod in it, nothing seems to happen.
And second hole is NOT a hole at all! You mean big not-exactly-BUTTON, right? Where screwdriver-like tool was hidden?
But yeah, seems that both these objects can't help mr. Stick to open the box, so he eliminates them.

Yeah, safe doesn't contain anything anymore, and despite it is strong and heavy enough, it won't crash through metal box.
So, bye-bye, H-tech portable safe!

Mr. Stick can't see too how huge unmovable metal chest (and everything inside it) can help, so he erases it from picture.

Since elimination process took much longer than mr. Stick expected, he will speed up and try to eliminate many things per once.

Elements for rooms' illumination: lamps, cords, and lightswitch - all of them won't help him to open the box.
Ladder steps are simple wall ladder steps, to move between rooms - they won't help him to open the box.
Exit door... Final goal of his escape, as mr. Stick feels... It won't help him to open the box.

Mr. Stick still can insert only small metal rod into three holes, and, well, use any rods to press that wall "button" on lower room.

He temporarily breaks his mind process and randomly inserts small metal rod into all suitable holes, and inserts both rods to press button again as far as rod's length allows.

And...

<I think you didn't play enough escape/quest/puzzle games as I did. XD
I think you rather completely missed/forgot one single crucial detail, or don't realize that detail can work THAT way (can be used to open the box).
Don't worry, originally I launched this quest on forum for gamers, who played a lot of puzzle games, and they also had problems with this puzzle. ;) This puzzle is the hardest so far, in my opinion.
Just keep eliminate things from rooms in mr. Stick's mind. I hope you will find a right one when you analyze it in your mind.
And don't forget: before eliminating something, remember what this thing has done so far, and if there any chance it can help to open the box, even if it looks doubtful.>

<I thought you reread all previous posts to see what each of remaining items and room objects do or can't do, in case if you forgot. Honestly, I thought you did it multiple times.
Advice: if there's too much elements to keep them in your head - write a notes about them. Like one I am writing right now below.>

Mr. Stick analyses the remaining objects.

Inventory:

1) Long metal rod with screw at the end.
- Obtained in big metal chest.

- It's unknown where screw end can be used.

2) Weird red-handled tool.
- Taken after pushing "button" in lower room.
- One of its tips can be used as screwdriver, and it was already used to unscrew some simple screws at the botton of big metal chest.
- It's unknown what second tip is for.

3) Metal box
- NO COMMENTS. IT HAS TO BE OPENED TO OBTAIN ITEMS INSIDE.

Upper room:

1) Wall cache.

3) Button
- Located inside wall cache.
- Activated only after metal rod is inserted into nearest hole.
- Opens passage between upper and lower rooms.

4) Small hole #2
- Located on the right wall of upper room.

No.
No items from his current inventory can be used there now.
Mr. Stick is sure this hole can't help him to open the box, since he can't do anything with it at all.

Mr. Stick can't see how he can use weird red-handled tool on the metal box, so he eliminates it.

And so, inventory is empty, not counting this stupid unbreakable box. Only room objects remained.

What do we have here? What can we use?..

Mr. Stick places the metal box vertically, but...

Mr. Stick will tell you a secret...
He's kinda afraid of heights and falling from height.  And vertically placed box looks very unsafe to stand on it!

He still can place it horizontally and stand on it though. But in this case:
- It will not grant too much height
- He's not sure if there's something hidden in the walls or ceiling. Or did you notice some suspicious place that he should check? If so, then can you show this place to mr. Stick?

And for the last: mr. Stick is still sure that he already checked everything, and now he just need to find a way to open the box with items or objects that already are in his possession.

If you mean small round hole in the wall - it was checked too. It's place for inserting thin metal rod.

By hole you meant passage between rooms, right?

Mr. Stick remembers he dropped metal box down the shaft once, and box didn't take any damage after impact.

He sticks the box in passage without dropping it.

...nothing happens. Now he knows there's no secret mechanism that activates when he simply places the box inside (when he places it at very the top side of the passage, at least), with the box being outside his inventory, at the moment when he doesn't pass through the passage.

So if I'm not mistaken, we've elminated every single thing in the room except the box itself. I'm just not seeing a solution to a puzzle with nothing left to puzzle over. At this point our best bet is to idle for 5 years until the box rusts itself open.

NO!!!

Mr. Stick is sure there's quick solution to this puzzle! He's sure he already discovered and examined everything in these rooms, he should only find one single helpful thing, one simple method...
He eliminated everything from picture inside his mind. Seems he missed something... Something he forgot...

<Sigh, I thought someone would find a solution, especially when you removed the most of unnecessary items and objects for this puzzle. But you still missing something.
Hmm, let's say... Check my previous posts where you eliminated items from rooms no longer than five such posts ago. (Starting from https://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=15974.msg531523#msg531523). Answer is somewhere there... If you still can't find it - I think you should, again, reread previous posts in this game where these remaining objects were found/used somehow. After this, I'm sure you will be able to find the solution.
Good luck.>

I honestly have no other ideas, so let me just suggest something..

Mr. Stick, maybe take a nap to pass time and see if anything happens?

Sigh...

Mr. Stick didn't want to do this. He wanted to stay awake and find the solution...
But he would lie to himself if he said he wasn't stuck. He is out of ideas what to do, and he's very tired.

Maybe small nap will help him to get strength and find a solution. Maybe something will happen if he spend some time.

...

Mr. Stick made up his mind.

Being tired and sad, he turns off the lights in the room, goes to the corner and sits.

Will he ever escape this place?..

Only the time will say.

Mr. Stick closes his eyes.

<And here ends Mr. Stick Adventure. :(
It ends not as I planned, but I think it's time.
It has been 4 years since the start, and 2 years since last puzzle was introduced.

Originally I planned many chapters, but after seeing extremely low activity, I decided to end the game after you solve the last puzzle... but it still wasn't cracked.
I hoped you guys would solve it. After all, it was supposed to be the last puzzle in the chapter, I tried to do everything to help you. But... alas.

If you are interested what was the solution: you can find the answer in last post, in this last cutscene.
If you still don't get it after rereading the cutscene... Look at the picture in this post: https://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=15974.msg535204#msg535204
The last picture, after you eliminated every other object from both rooms. And still failed to see one last single correct solution. :P

Anyway, thank you very much everyone who participated in this game!
See you up ahead.

As for Mr. Stick... Don't worry. :)
In another timeline, he's all right, and continues to solve the puzzles to get out this place. In another community, where I originally posted first chapters. Hope someday he will find the exit.

See you in other future projects!>
