First off, I have to say this is probably the most frustrating game I've ever played. It is so simple but so inelegant, I find myself hunting for hotspots and directions all the time. Anyway, now that I've vented, I have the crowbar and just want to get into the funhouse, but can't seem to find a loose board...

KatieB, are you sure you are at the funhouse? There should be a door that is boarded up. Use the crowbar on the boards. I found myself so mixed up (direction wise) throughout this game. Good luck.

Thank you Kay, you were right, I was not at the Funhouse! It was also reassuring to read that you were directionally challenged throughout the game. Navigation is strange (intentionally I believe). I don't like mazes and this game seems to be one huge one...
