sierramindy, before you can use the teleporters you have to power them up. If I remember right, there is a yellow pad (not the one in the hall) that will take you to so some small tower place with 3 different pads: one yellow (the one you arrive at), one red and one grey. Step onto the grey one and you'll get to the 'central control room' for the teleporters.

Hope that helps a bit

Hi Wollmaus, Thanks! Didn't have the teleporters powered up yet. I have them working now, but for me, I'm not sure they are an improvement. I just get zapped all over the place and still don't have a clue about anything unless the hint system tells me what to do next. In a true adventure game you get clues on what to do by what you find and people you talk to as you make progress in the game. If you can't figure things out, then you turn to a hint source, usually a walkthrough. I really do like Lydia and Zak though, even with his new look which took me a bit to get used to. So I will hang in there with them.

Great you got going Sierramindy. If you need more hint - help, please post at Hints forum.

Thanks for the help, Wollmaus. You might drop by hints forum - the gamers could use your help at hints forum.

Okay, will do, but I wasn't really asking for a hint as much as I was venting my frustration. I had been so looking forward to being teleported and when they didn't work right away, I blew my cool. Now I'm past that and trying to find the student's hallway to get to a yellow teleporter to see the rest of the school. Actually I did go there already earlier when I was trying to find my way somewhere else, but by now I have no recollection of how I blundered my way there. Oh well, I will find it eventually. Again.

Oh happy day, I finally blundered my way to the end. If you like third-person games and Myst-type games this will be a good game for you, unfortunately, not for me. However, Lydia and Zak were so great that I managed to stay interested in them all the way to the final scene and now I will miss them, but not the rest of the game. I watched all the credits and they ended with "Thank you for playing Keepsake"! You're welcome!

Thank you for the explanation. The mystery is now solved. The upper floors are the same in both versions, but the two maps were created from different perspectives and therefore look different. Also, the names of some locations were different due to translation from German to English.

Sorry for my delayed reply... but better late than never?
