Not sure if I should waste your time, or mine, with this as it is probably easier to look at the walkthrough but...

I have planted devices in Helena's pen, given Colin a mosaic tile, and given Margherita the black sunglass case. Nothing has come of this at all.

I have played scopa and know that I'm supposed to be stealing something (as Samantha)and should be consulting Gina which may be where I made a big mistake. I said I knew who Gina is but I don't and can't find any way to find out anything about her. I went back a second time to try for more info but that name didn't come up. Maybe I should try again?

The box of chocolate for Il Dottore is still sitting on the table; nobody has claimed it.

I've done the spying, the pigeon tracking, dancing (so I have a cat costume and made a little money), sold flowers for money, played scopa, got sick on sausages, been stung several times. I know Colin is really Justin.

Outside one of the clubs there is a garbage can and something else (can't remember what it is now). The something else has a 4 digit code I guess to open it (?) but there has been no clue that I found regarding this code.

At Accademia where I am supposed to steal the turquoise or whatever, there is a panel with 6 red spaces on it and a slot (like a mail slot). Nothing is active here though it seems like it should be. The gate gets me arrested if I touch it 3 times, but I feel I should be doing something with it.

I don't know what I'm missing. Been all around several times.

I don't want you to read the whole walkthrough to try to figure out how to help me. I can read it myself, but if you are familiar enough with the game to have an idea what I'm missing, please help!

Thanks.

OldBroad, I get stuck here too, because I usually forget this spot.

Your next course of action is Gina. For this, go to Antonio's office. "Gina" is the chess game on his computer.

Also, have you get searched the microdot on the card from the pigeon with Colin's microscope?

Thanks NDLVR for the info on Gina. I probably won't get to the game tonight but will try that when I do.

Yes, I did search the microdot under the microscope already.

I don't have complete recall about this game, but I don't remember not being able to get back into Fango's office when I needed to, so I am not sure why you are having trouble with that.

you may have to go to the Casa roof and use the binoculars to make sure Fango isn't in the office. Like Marian, I have never had the game not let me enter after picking the lock, so that's the only thing that I can think of that you may need to check

Yes, that's what I was thinking also. I had seen him through the binoculars a second time but I didn't try to go to his office at that time, so I hope I will see him again and that will work.

Thank you!!

Why, oh why, do you have to keep picking the lock???

I could not use the binoculars again but did manage to pick the lock again. I played chess using what was in the computer but apparently that is not enough. I left the office and now need to pick the lock (yet again) to go back inside. (Not really, because I haven't done anything new and can just go back in the office through my saved game, but still, why won't the door just stay open.)

I guess once I figure out the clue I will be moving on. If I can't figure it out, I'll be back for a hint. wink

Thanks!

I certainly agree with you that picking the lock once is plenty.

after playing chess (which will in code spell out the location of locked building the sapphire is in) Gina will send the keycard (which won't happen until the next day) at the Rialto Market. I believe at the recycling center

Oldbroad, you have to spell Zattere with your chess moves. The easies way I know of is just follow that part of MaG's tutorial here (which is what I always do, especially for the chess and the final 2 puzzles with the water wells at the end. MaG's tutorial is http://www.gameboomers.com/wtcheats/pcNn/NDPhantomofVenice.htm and you'll wanna scroll about half-way down the page

Thanks NDLVR! I was trying to spell Zatttere but not having any luck. As long as I know I'm on the right track, I'll try some more before consulting the walkthrough.

Thanks again NDLVR. Knowing I was on the right track, I was able to get the answer without using the walkthrough. I've moved on a little ways for now.

This game is HARD! Can somebody please explain something to me about the Chinese puzzle box that might help me to figure it out? I haven't got a clue. Or is there a clue that I missed somewhere?

Thanks!

Ah, I found a book to buy. Maybe this will help me. think

It is not an easy game at all, even when played on amateur/junior level. And yes, a book will help you with the puzzle box.

Got the puzzle box but did have a little cheat (actually this was a big cheat when I think of it). I had googled Chinese Puzzle Box prior to posting here and there is a video, I guess of the solution. I didn't look at it but it showed numbers (just on the search page) for the order to press the squares, so with the book it was easy.

I'm playing in senior mode but I think it said the only difference in modes is that there is no task list in senior mode. It didn't say the puzzles were any harder.

Thanks Marian wave

I guess I'm stuck again. The only thing I can think to do is pick Fango's lock again but it's not working. I know the solution is random so I've backed out and gone in again to try different combos but the door won't open. Nobody has anything new to say to me. The "key" from the puzzle box doesn't seem very helpful to me right now. The card in my inventory isn't shown on the key.

Any hint available?

Thanks.
