Phantom Of Venice

I am on map to go to Piazza San Marco after talking to Helena following walkthrough but it does not show up proper to let me go there.I must have missed something.

cigar,

You can not jump to - to a place. You have to go from one circle to another circle until you get to where you want to go.
The places you can go to have an eye icon. Once you land at that spot, click again to enter that place.
If you already read the order to go to the ATM machine, then you should see an eye icon on that place in the map.

I got there,thanks

Using walkthrough I am to go to Campo Santo Margherita and look for pigeon with yelow legs the one we fed Then I am to take the message.I do not see any pidgeon with yellow legs.

Hi cigar,

Here is a screenshot of the scene - click on the bird that is arrowed.

Yes I solved it,on to buy new outfit.

I cannot win that killing the bees to get flowers to bring to the Rialto Market.I have tried all morning.

Hi cigar,

Don't forget to use the Edit button if you want to add something to a post you've just made, rather than stacking your posts. Thanks.

Did you manage to kill those bees? It's an optional way to get money - you might be able to earn/find money another way, so I wouldn't worry about the bees too much.

Ok thanks

No problem, good luck. If you find yourself really short on cash at any point, you're welcome to e-mail me your last saved game and I'll make a few bee-killing/flower-selling trips for you to fill up your purse.

I am trying the scoppa game.I could be 150 years old before I get this one.Game save in junior after scoppa please

The save is on its way, cigar.

I got save game.Thanks a million

You're welcome.

I hate to ask again but can i get a game save after finished the mosaics puzzle so colin can replace the bulb please.I am playing junior.

I'm not sure if I should post this here but,I am stuck right after getting the card out of the puzzle box.The walkthrough says go check out the office and then go to bed.When you wake up the PDA should go off and then you run out to the balcony.Well my PDA is not going off.I checked to make sure I did everything up to this point and I can't figure out what I missed.Anyone else have this problem?

Hi cigar, I'm not at my computer right now, but I can send you a save later today, unless anyone else can jump in and help you meanwhile.

Hi brajki, I think that means you've missed doing something elsewhere. If you're playing Junior level, double check your task list, that might help you work out what it is.

That would be great .I can wait.I am playing Junior.Thanks

The save's on its way to you, cigar.

Got save thanks again

No problem, have fun.

Why do I not see a cat suit hanging on the wall at dance Audition

Cigar,

If you received a save, it might already be in your inventory. Did you look there?

No but I will.Thanks

Cigar,

You're welcome. If its not in inventory, it might be in the closet in the room that Nancy is staying in.

I am at room puzzle to get sapphire all day and better part of to-nite with no luck.I get zapped every time.

Hi cigar,

Try to plan ahead, watch the robots' movement cycle, they repeat their routes. By observing this you'll be able to better figure out where to move and when. , let us know if you still have problems.

Got up this morn and gave it another hour try.No Go.I am just too slow with arcade type games.When you have a spare break please send a game save after finishing this.

I liked this puzzle. One arcade that I can do.
The junior saved game is on the way.

Your a life saver thanks

I am to play Enrico Tazza Scopa and he will send payment to Swiss bank account.I could not do that scopa game the last time and I sure as heck cannot do it this time.I am Italian descent and am ashamed to admit I cannot play this game but it is a fact.

It's a fun game. You'll like it. Try sometime and you might become a master of the game.

It's on the way.

You might be right but if I did not learn it after 79 years I might not ever.Thanks again

Hi, everyone!

I picked the lock to Fango's office door but, when I went inside, he was there and I was uncerimoniously escorted out of the country. Is there something I need to do to get him out of the office?

Thanks.

Susan

Hey Susan,

You don't do anything to get him out of his office. He comes and goes on his own. If he is in his office, that means you should be across the street on the balcony of the place you are staying watching him with binoculars. Only break in when he's not there (as you found out!).

Hi, Magwitch!

Well, duh, why didn't I think of that ? Of course I should be checking his office from the roof. I guess I'll have to find something else to do until he leaves.

Thanks!

Susan

Thanks, Magwitch.

Hi, everyone!

Okay, I give up. What's the trigger to get Fango out of his office? I've exhausted all conversation topics with Colin, my roommate and the lady sunbathing on the roof. I've won the dance contest. I've purchased everything available at the magazine stand. I've purchased birdseed but haven't run into any birds. I think I've hit a roadblock until Fango leaves his office, but he doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Thanks!

Susan

Susie,

Did you go up to the roof of the place Nancy is staying at and use the binoculors looking at Fango's office?

Hi Susie,

When you looked out towards Fango's office with your binoculars, did you see Fango taking something from a pigeon sitting on the windowsill?

If so, then call Sophia to report this, and she will give you a mission. Once you've completed this mission you'll be able to enter Fango's office.

Hi, TLC and Rushes!

TLC, yes, I've used the binoculars several times to spy on Fango's office because I'm waiting for him to leave so I can pick the lock, and he's always there.

Rushes, I haven't seen Fango take anything from a pigeon. Every time I look through the binoculars into his office window, he's just sitting in a chair at his desk.

Susan

Susie,

Keep watching Fango for a bit longer, it takes a little time for the pigeon to show up.

Susie,

How far are you in the game?
Is the owner of the Ca where you living still on the roof sunbathing?

Hi, misslilo and TLC!

misslilo, yes she's still there. She left long enough for me to read her note, but now she's back.

I'm not too far into the game. I've gotten the tracker and binoculars, passed the dance audition, been poisoned by tainted sausages and have purchased all of the magazines that were available in the bookstore (German dictionary, Sassy Detective and one other magazine). I picked the lock to Fango's office before I realized that I should have checked first to make sure he wasn't there. Unfortunately, he won't leave.

TLC, I'll keep watching Fango because I can't find anything else to do in the meantime <G>!

Susan

I have finally made it to the end but I'm not fast enough to get the gauges in the right place I keep drowning. Any help? Mary

I did this forever and faster after I memorized a sequence that works.
Try as soon as possible to:
Click 2 down clockwise twice.

Click 1 up counterclockwise 5 times.

Click 3 down clockwise 3 times.

Click 5 up counterclockwise 4 times only.

Click 4 down clockwise twice only.

Click 5 up counterclockwise once.

Click 4 down clockwise twice.

Thanks finally made it through the game!!

So I'm trying to steal the sapphire. I'm doing okay getting around the little laser guys but I don't understand how to shut down the beams protecting the sapphire.

I've gotten to two of the panels with the lightning bolts at the top and they all have white shutters over them with levers at the bottom. When I pull the levers, I hear something happen but nothing visual changes. When I go back to the sapphire, nothing has changed there, either. The walkthrough says to pull the levers to cover the rods with the shutters but they are already shuttered. What am I missing?

Edit: Never mind. I figured it out. Somehow, I always do right after I post!!

Hi, everyone!

I guess I wasn't patient enough because Fango finally left his office and I was able to pick the lock, feed the tracking device to the pigeon and decode the message.

I decided to try dancing to make a little extra money, but Nancy keeps saying she can't dance without her costume. Thing is ... she's wearing it! Has anyone else run into this problem?

Susan

Susie,

Did you put the cat ears on?

Hi, TLC!

Maybe not <G>! What drawer would they be in because I thought I had selected an item from each one?

Thanks!

Susan

Susie,

You're welcome. The ears are in the hat drawer.

Hi, TLC!

Thanks so much. Compared to that huge yellow hat, the ears are so small I completely missed them at the bottom of the screen.

I could have saved myself the trouble, though, because I was booed off the stage so many times, I finally gave up! I'm now wondering how I managed to pass the dance audition in the first place <VBG>.

Susan

Susie,

You're welcome. I got booed so many times, I gave up and used a save game. I can't dance in real life and can't do it in a game.

Rushes, I cant find the thread where I asked about the Language learning, and thought I read all the book, I went back and clicked in a different place on the page, and there was more pages, thanks for your help, more learning to go to the stake out,
thanks
Marcia

Glad you figured it out, Marcia. Have fun at the stakeout!

Hi, TLC!

I'm going to have to find another way to make money because I have a feeling that dancing is not in the cards for me <G>!

Now I'm off to search for a sapphire!

Susan

Kill some bees & sell some blooms = loads o' Euros

with the sapphire, Susan.

Hi, Rushes!

I haven't checked the bees lately but, the last time I was up on the roof (why do I feel a song coming on <VBG>?), I didn't get a hot spot when I clicked on them.

Thanks for the "good luck" with the sapphire. I have a feeling I'm gonna need it.

Susan

Maybe that's because you already have some flowers in your inventory? Until you get rid of those, new flowers won't grow in your soil patch.

Hi, Rushes!

I discovered that you don't get a hot spot for the flowers on the roof until you read the sign in the market that says they will buy them.

I have now run into several roadblocks. It seems as though I need some smoke to get rid of the bees so I can pick the flowers. At Zattere, there is no hot spot on the keypad so I can get the gate open (not that I have a clue what the combination is <G>). At Campo Santa Margherita, I need the combination for the propane tank and don't have a clue where to find it. Finally, where might I find the elusive Gina?

Thanks for your help.

Susan

Smokes - You will find what you need at Rialto Market - not smokes though.

Zattere - The keypad will be activated after you get items from Gina.

Gina - remember the chess game on Fango's laptop.

Hi, MaG!

I made $90 selling flowers, but the bees are harder to kill each time so I think I'll give it a rest for awhile to save my blood pressure <G>!

I made it inside the gates at Zattere, but now I'm stuck in the maze. I know I'm supposed to deactivate the lasers, but I can't find them or the sapphire and I've been zapped by the robots so many times I feel like a block of Swiss cheese <G>! I wonder if these robots are related to the security probes who guarded GRS in UAKM.

Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Susan

I hated that arcade bees puzzle. Ugh! That's amazing you made that much.

There are 9 rooms (3 in a row).
You came through the top middle one.
The Lasers are at the 4 corners of the warehouse. They are marked with red electric symbol.
The sapphire is at the very center. middle center of the warehouse.

Hi, MaG!

Thanks for your prompt response.

I was so busy trying to avoid the robots that I don't believe I saw any red electric symbols. I'll have to go back and take another look.

Susan

Rushes big thank you for all your help, HUGS, I finished yet another ND game, with only 3 stars... got the Fashion one ,
cant remember the other two??
was there one for eating chocolates LOL I know i didnt get the dance one, once i got the costume, I didnt want to give it back and have to earn it again ;-)
ANYWAY THANKS!!!!

You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Now onto the next one.

Could someone please,please,please send me a save for the robots? i have done three of the 4 rooms,but am about to go insane trying to do the last one. Thanks!

On the way, sadirose.

Please use the same thread you posted on about this game. Thanks.

Sorry,and thank you!

Hey everybody! I'm having trouble with the dance audition and apparently you have to pass it to go back to the ca' and almost get hit by a vase. It won't happen if you don't pass. Any ideas?

I got through the puzzle by listening to the sound cues. My eyes are not fast enough to look for the color cues.

If you want a saved game, - junior or senior?

junior, please. and thanks

On the way, maxcat.

Thanks for the save. now I'm in the warehouse and I don't see any red signals. I assume that they might be in the tires but I'm not seeing a red signal at any four corners. Help?

Hate to give up, but eyes aren't too good and seems the ears are lacking too! Could I have a save game for the dance sequence too, please?

Bristol,

Please CYE in a few minutes. Are you playing junior? That's the only save I have.

I hate to break in but I do need help on the robots in the warehouse. I get no red signal light at any of the four locations. Can I get some idea as to why I'm not seeing these lights?

The red electicity symbol is like a Z or zigzag drawing.
You will find them at the 4 corner rooms of the 9 rooms in the warehouse.

Yes, Junior will be perfect. Thank you very very much!

Oh, no...not the dreaded security robots again! <argh>!
I saw a message from you about sausages early on in the game, but I haven't seen any sausages. Where are they, do you recall?

Diane

Hi Diane,

You might or might not get to see the sausages, depending upon whether you visit your room back at the Ca at the appropriate time early in the game. It doesn't affect game progress one way or the other, so don't worry about it if you haven't seen them.

Oh, okay, thanks. Whew...I thought I might have overlooked something important. (Which I'm sure I probably have anyway, even though it's not the sausages. <G>)

Thanks again!

Diane

You're welcome. Hope you're enjoying the game.

I never saw those sausages

I'm back! I'm in the warehouse and cat woman touched something and about 8 boxes looked like candy. also I saw a zigzag more towards the middle and cat woman ran over there and now I have a screen that has 8 bars and I can shutter the two on the right as you face the screen. none of the others cooperate even using the walkthrough. when I touch a completed shuttered rod and then touch another to close the shutters on it, the first one becomes open again. Any ideas?

Hi maxcat,

You have to find the right sequence for the rods.

Find the first rod that stays down when you click on it. Then look for the second rod, that will stay down along with the first. Trial and error until you strike lucky. Then with those two rods down, look for the third, fourth, etc. If you make an error, all rods will release and you will have to start over, repeating the sequence you know to be correct so far and then looking for the next rod in the sequence. It's a memory test.

Once all the rods are down then the puzzle is complete for that symbol.

I'll try to do that!

You can do it, good luck.

Thanks, Rushes for the tip to getting the crystal. As someone else said, I feel like swiss cheese as I was shot by the lazer so many times.

You're very welcome. I also got fried more times than I care to remember.

Now I'm at the point where I have to find the fountain at Campo Santa Maria Formosa. I think I see a wall fountain that may not be working to the right of the costume shop. But, the problem is, I can't get a cursor to go over there. It will only give me one for the costume shop. Am I in the right place?

Yes you are in the correct place.
The puzzle is not triggered yet.

I copied my answer to another gamer here:

This means that you did not check ALL the numbers- extensions in the fax machine information. Some of those info has Nancy saying something about them. This in turns triggers those places like the fountain. Listen to the fax machine again.

Hi, everyone!

I finally managed to steal the sapphire and make it back outside. Now I'm trying to solve the Chinese puzzle box, but I don't have a clue how to accomplish that feat. Is there a clue somewhere in the game that I missed?

Thanks!

Susan

Susan,

Since you can't understand the Chinese letters - maybe another dictionary or book?

Hi, MaG!

Thanks! I thought of that after I posted my SOS (isn't that always the way ), but I had a few things to do online before returning to the game.

Susan

Oh yes, post and solve the puzzle yourself.

Hi, MaG!

LOL! I didn't say I solved the puzzle. I said I thought about buying a Chinese dictionary ! I bought the dictionary and I now know what the symbols represent, but I still don't have a clue in what order to press them.

Back to the drawing board, but grateful I'm FINALLY outta the warehouse and away from those blasted robots!

Susan

Took me a while on this but ended up on the usual gaming puzzles . I didn't find any reference to it. I might have missed a clue too.

- I guess, it's a progression of the Chinese mysticism and is the one presented in the book. The sequence I got by trial and error though.

Hi, MaG!

Any hints for the stakeout? I managed to fumble my way through the Chinese puzzle box, but can't manage to nab the elusive Nico.

Thanks!

Susan

I am very much enjoying this game! Having said that, now I'm trying to win the dance contest. <ack!> My ego is getting thoroughly trounced...I must be the worst dancer ever! <g> I think I understand that I'm supposed to click on the colored circles when I hear the associated sound, but do I have to *keep* clicking on it until I hear another sound? I *think* I am clicking on the correct circles but the "progress bar" at the top keeps going down and down, so obviously I'm doing something wrong!

Susie,

The places the agents state that are seen on the left are the places where they will be hiding.
Then you will see them pop out of those palces for a split second.
Any other place that you see a shadow would be Nico. Immediately click on that shadow.
The agents will try to go to him 3 times before the police will finally catch him.
If you can't remember the places, the wt has a picture with labels of the locations.

Diane,
Yes, click on the circle that shows the icon of the sound you ehard. You do not need to click again unless Nancy stops dancing. Then when you hear the next sound - immediately click on the appropriate icon. Review the sounds so that you can master it.

I FINALLY passed the dance audition! But now I'm trying to get the sapphire. I have disabled one of the lasers, but the robots keep zapping me so I can't get out of the room to disable another one! This is one tough puzzle...but a great game!

Diane,

Can you go out another exit?

Well, I managed to get to one exit, but it led into a room I had already been into. There is another exit, and that's where I'm trying to go, but I keep getting zapped by the robots! I know it's just going to take time and dumb luck! <g>

Hi Diane,

If the robots keep getting you, try an alternative route to the exit. Watch the robots' movement patterns closely, they are repetitive. Plan ahead.

Hello!

I've spent the past hour or so getting my behind zapped trying to get at the sapphire haha. Could you please send me a savegame? Thank you sooo very much!

Hi AmberSumiko,

I only have a Junior save, I hope that's the level you are playing.

Sending it across to you now.

Yes, that is fine! Thanks

You're welcome. Hope you're enjoying the game.

Hi, MaG!

The last time I tried, I found Nico's hiding spot twice and alerted the agents, but they let him get away. Is there a time limit or do I need to find him 3 times in a row ?

Hi, Diane ! When you manage to steal the sapphire, you've got the stakeout to look forward to, and I'll probably still be here .

Susan

Hi Susie,

You need to find Nico 3 times, although I'm not sure if it's 3 times in a row or if the game is forgiving and allows 3 times in total. You'll find out the next time you catch him! Good luck.

Hi, Rushes (and MaG)!

The cops FINALLY nabbed Nico, but I'm almost positive I had to identify his hiding place 4 times before that happened. I now have a key and I think I came across a door that rattles, so it's off to the travel map for me.

Thanks to you both for your help!

Susan

Great that you nabbed Nico. Close to the end puzzles now.

Susie, enjoy the finale!

Thanks, Rushes...

I'm getting the hang of it, but I'm not out of the woods, er, the laser rooms, yet. I've disabled three of the lasers, but am having a heck of a time getting to the 4th. I'll keep at it, though...I'll be darned if I'm gonna let these robots get the best of me! <grrr>

Diane.

Go, Diane, Go!

for trying the puzzle and not giving up. That is a true blue adventurer!

go for it Diane you can do it .I was just glad that when they got you you did nt have to start all over again

Hi, Rushes!

I may never see the finale ! I used the key I found in the propane tank to open the door and don't have a clue what I'm supposed to do next. There is a map on the wall inside the room as well as a lever that can be turned either clockwise or counter-clockwise, but turning the lever doesn't seem to do anything.

Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be gratefully appreciated.

Susan

Hi Susie,

Did you also pick up a map from the propane bin? Compare that with the map on the wall. You are currently standing in #1 circle. The aim is to make your way to #2, then #3, etc and all the way through to #10 where there will be an exit ladder.

By turning the various wheels you will fill or drain the wells. Filling a well will create a floating bridge for you to pass across into another section of the maze. Note the symbols painted on the well walls match the symbols on the map, so you will know where you are (in theory!).

If you need any further help, just shout!

Hi, Rushes!

There wasn't a map in the propane tank ... just the key. Did I miss something?

Susan

Are you playing Senior level? You'll only find a map in the propane bin if you're playing Junior.

In which case you only have the wall map in the well maze to help you.

You are in the upper ladder area to the left. You need to make your way to the upper ladder on the right.

Hi, Rushes!

Yes, I'm playing Senior level, which explains why I didn't find no stinkin' map in the propane tank !

I'll study the map on the wall to see if I can make any sense of it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Susan

You can use the maze map picture in the walkthrough.

I FINALLY got out of that blasted warehouse with the sapphire! Now I'm getting beat at Scopa again, but at least that's more fun than dodging the robots! If you're still at the stakeout by the time I get there, maybe if we team up we can get Nico.

Good luck!

Diane

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

Thanks TLC, MaG, and dragonuk44 for the encouragement! I FINALLY made it out of the warehouse with the sapphire! That was quite a challenge for me. I figured I might spend the rest of my life in there. Anyway, now I'm getting beat at Scopa again, but it's more fun than dodging robots.

Diane

Yes those robots were a pain but enjoy the scopa

Well done on getting through, Diane! I bet you felt great after finally getting out of that warehouse with the sapphire.

Yes, it felt good getting out of the warehouse! The feeling may be short-lived, though, when I encounter the next puzzle.

its a real good feeling when you do them your self .I still cant get my head through the door by doing the slabs in Perry Rhodan .That was more like a card puzzal (better not say to much)It took me ages but I did it and Perry says when the puzzal was finished .Piece of cake
