Is the foyer the area you enter when you enter the castle? What am I supposed to do there other than play Monster?
How do I get Anja out of the shop so I can look around?

Hi stonzee,

Yes, the foyer is the area where Lukas is playing.

If you're at the point where you need to get Anja out of the shop, you first need to gain access to the security room, which is a hidden room off the foyer.

If you can work out a way to get Lukas to leave the foyer, he'll leave behind him a clue as how to get into the security room. Did Lukas ask you to distract Karl yet?

luck

Oh I'm at the beginning. I've played Raid (which I hated) and several games of Monster.
I've had the water dumped on me. I've looked around the courtyard.
It says on my list to look around the shop so I just wondered how to get her to leave.
I'm sort of wandering around because I don't know where anything is. I have been to the glass shop but there was nothing to do.
I can never find my way around that maze of a castle.
Where do I find a light to explore the well?

Have you talked to Karl yet? If not, you should try to find his office in the castle. wave

You can have a look around the shop and examine a lot of things with Anja still there. smile

That castle is a labyrinth, I agree.

For the light -- explore the forest and see what you find there.

So, I need to go out to the forest at night?

----------------

Yes, I talked to Karl a couple of times. He came to my room when the monster started a fire in the courtyard. I found a doll in the well.

I can't recall if the forest is accessible during the day, but you can try at different times to see what's possible. luck

Now I'm lost in the forest. How do I get back to the castle? I found a cow phone charm and the bush that the bur is from. But I can't get back to the castle.

See if this diagram helps:



MaG's walkthrough also has directions from various points within the forest, so you might check that too if you still have problems. Keep us posted.

Where do you find the light green tile? I can't find it anywhere.

The green glass tile can be found in the furnace room.

Click to reveal..
According to the walkthrough, go to the locked furnace room when you have the key from Karl. From the banquet room, take the left side stairs down to the end. Use the dictionary on the sign on the door -Danger Fire Hazards. Use the glass key on the locked door. Look around. See the furnace at right. Don't open the door yet. Find the missing tile: Check the cabinet-oven ahead, left of the furnace. Take the green glass tile.

What exactly is the cabinet-oven? I looked left of the furnace and didn't see anything.

It's an oven, but it looks more like a cabinet. It's by the furnace, to the left. wave

What is the fastest route to the glass shop?

The fastest way is via the gift shop -- enter through there, then out through the arch next to the postcard stand. Go forward and then down the stairs to reach the glass shop.

From where? From the gift shop? Or from somewhere else?

I spent a lot of time wandering around in the castle; that is for sure! smile

Thanks, Rushes - I need to replay this game; it's been quite a while since I played it. wave

I tried going that way (from the security room) and Nancy says "I need to find the fastest route or I'll be too late." What route is she referring to?

What stairs do you go down from the gift shop? The only stairs go up.

Enter Anja's gift shop, then go through the doorway where the postcard stand is (the doorway opposite the counter that Anja stands behind), then go forward and down the stairs to reach the glass shop. wave

How do you unlock the cell door? I used the solution stated in the walk through but it doesn't work.

I used that solution in the walkthrough and it did in fact work for me. I would try doing it over again if you haven't already.

Quote:
The aim of the puzzle is to let the released bar on the left move to the right without touching any of the knobs.

There are 4 buttons at the bottom that depresses the knobs.

Release the bar by flipping the clasp. The bar moves.

Press the correct button below to depress the knob that is in the way of the bar.

Be sure that the bar is clear of knobs behind it before pressing the button to depress the ones in front of it.

From left to right, press buttons: 3, 4, 2, 1, wait, 2, 2 and immediately 3.

Oooh you have to release the bar first?! Ha ha I wasn't doing that. No wonder it didn't work.
Silly me. Thanks.

Help! This is going to sound dumb, but I keep wandering around the castle and I can't find Nancy's room. Markus keeps telling me to call on the land line but I can't find it.
