Oh yes, I meant the button! Sorry

I think the portable safe will not help us at this point, since we already cracked it and emptied it.

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!

How about the big ole box in the basement. Can't see much use for it

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

[Mumbling]

We already tried to put the box in the corner hole in the top right, so I guess that one can go as well.

*magical disappearing sound*



Mr. Stick feels we are getting close now.

Let's get rid of the lights, light switch, ladder, and exit door while we're at it. Can't imagine they're involved

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.



<  It's right here... Remember past events. Think outside the box. Try to look at remaining objects in room at different angle.>

How about we stick every rod we have available into every hole we have available

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...



Well, nothing NEW happened.

[Mumbling]

... Are we overthinking things, or are we just dumb?

<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.>

Can we see the inventory objects from their other sides? Or perhaps combine them/stick them into each other?

Mr. Stick examines remaining items again from all angles.













He can't see obvious ways to combine them.
Can you?

Can we get a breakdown of the remaining elements of the room? Each hole, what we've figured out they do or if they haven't appeared to do something yet?

<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.>
