Rushes The Three Pipe Moderator & Reviewer True Blue Boomer Registered: 07/10/05 Posts: 23124 Loc: UK	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. _________________________ "Bleat, Watson -- unmitigated bleat!" ~ Sherlock Holmes

Marian Moderator Graduate Boomer Registered: 07/04/00 Posts: 17075 Loc: near Yosemite in California	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! Thanks, Rushes - I need to replay this game; it's been quite a while since I played it. Edited by Marian (08/06/13 06:25 PM)

stonzee Settled Boomer Registered: 08/25/10 Posts: 150	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. Edited by Marian (08/06/13 07:58 PM) Edit Reason: combined stacked posts

Marian Moderator Graduate Boomer Registered: 07/04/00 Posts: 17075 Loc: near Yosemite in California	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.

cmumm59 Settled Boomer Registered: 01/09/05 Posts: 109 Loc: Bethel CT	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.

Rushes The Three Pipe Moderator & Reviewer True Blue Boomer Registered: 07/10/05 Posts: 23124 Loc: UK	Hi cmumm, If you can make your way to the main foyer, then: Climb the stairs to the mezzanine... Enter through the doors... Go forward to the wide landing... Climb the stairs on either side of the wide landing. Go forward to the balcony at other side. See a door with Nancy's name on it. _________________________ "Bleat, Watson -- unmitigated bleat!" ~ Sherlock Holmes

cmumm59 Settled Boomer Registered: 01/09/05 Posts: 109 Loc: Bethel CT	Thank you both. --------------------- Once I go through the door do I go up the stairs? Is it off the near landing or the far one? Edited by Rushes (08/20/13 10:30 AM) Edit Reason: combined stacked posts

Rushes The Three Pipe Moderator & Reviewer True Blue Boomer Registered: 07/10/05 Posts: 23124 Loc: UK	Yes, go up the stairs from the double doors. That'll lead out to the wide landing, where there are stairs leading forward on either side of it. Don't turn around to take the landing behind you -- you need to move forward. Take either set of stairs -- they'll both lead you forward to the other side, where you'll come to a door with a large sign on it with Nancy's name. _________________________ "Bleat, Watson -- unmitigated bleat!" ~ Sherlock Holmes

cmumm59 Settled Boomer Registered: 01/09/05 Posts: 109 Loc: Bethel CT	Sorry to be so dense but I still can't find it. When I go to the wide landing (past the wood floor to the marble) I see stair cases going down on either side but none going up. I can see Nancy's room in front of me but I can't figure out how to get there.
