Sorry, MaG. I read that, but it doesn't make sense to me. I have six symbol papers. Those five that you mentioned plus the sixth one in the bookcase on the upper shelf. What I cannot figure out is how they are placed into the green cross. The green cross is numbered 1 thru 6. Where is the clue that matches the numbers to symbols. I have the sleeping pill jar with the drawings of twelve symbols, but I still can't figure which symbols go for what numbers. Am I missing a clue?

Also, where is this picture frame? I didn't find that.

You should also have gotten a piece of paper with hair on it.
You should burn that with the lighter.
Then click on that paper until the paper shows the clues you need to solve the number puzzle. I think the words will be 'what does that mean?' when the paper has shown the clues.

I think that might be the missing clue. Have fun now...

Picture frame is not necessary to complete the game but it is found under that table with the slipper. You should NOT be in close up view, then click at floor in front of that table.

How do you get the lighter out from under the wastebasket? I did it one time, but didn't pay attention to how I did it. I left the game and have come back to it and now I cannot get the wastebasket to raise up. I have all of the other parts and pieces collected. Just the lighter is unaccessible. Do I have to do it in some certain order?
Su

You have to look at the hair on the paper in close up first before you can raise the wastebasket. I also found out on replay.

Cool, MaG. Yes, I finally got everything straightened out. Now, I'm having trouble figuring out what is missing from the book case. This is what I have sitting on the shelf: The picture frame with a picture in it. The open CD with the CD in it. The can of beer (cold). I cannot get anything to happen when I highlight each of the remaining inventory items (green box, green cross, paper with cross clue on it, lighter, pill container, key) and click on the pot of gray dust or yellow container. Clicking on the red mixer tells me "something is missing...". What am I missing?

Incense burning is also needed on the altar. You have to have unlocked the bike chain and made the green dice. When all of these items are there or in inventory - ring the dinger.

BTW - the picture is not necessary.

Is the pot with the gray looking stuff in it called "the altar"? Do you have to get that burning before placing anything else on the shelf? Are the only things that go on the shelf: the picture frame, the CD and the cold beer? I have solved all of the other puzzles, but cannot get the gray stuff to burn. It keeps telling me that "these things are'nt complete..."
Su

The green box, & cross are one & the same. The cross turns into the box once it's assembled correctly. Do you have all 6 small symbols? You have to arrange them on the green cross. The box needs to be on the altar as well as the other items. The altar is just the shelf where you place all the stuff. The incense looks like a little bundle of black sticks. Do you have it?

Love, jen

Oh, no, I do not have a little bundle of black sticks. Yes, I have the box, but I can't seem to get it to go onto the shelf. Where is the "bundle of sticks?

Tvoe, check out the shelf that the diary is on. Move close to the shelf and check both sides.
Good luck

Sue

Oh, toooo cooool. Thank you ever so Sue and MaG. Great little game. I finally got through it. Had many senior moments, but eventually this old girl finished. Thanks again for the great helps.
