Senior Editor  Posts: 1513 Joined: 9 Jan 2007    | The chubby ghost and the leaning ghost are the two most subtle puzzles in the game, and therefore the hardest. Feel very proud if you got them with no clues at all. :) As for those extra ten points...since it's already Wednesday, I'll tell you they're to be had in the Snack Bar, but the rest is up to you. |

Then I'm very proud! I took a few hours to get the Zombies and Monsters, but I managed the word puzzle first try, no hints! Then again, I've been playing the Hitch-Hiker's Guide recently... it doesn't matter how many times I win, I still find new puzzles and ways to die. I just discovered that one too many pints at the beginning sends you spiralling down to failure. User was banned for: The Second Annual Escapist Election: Part 1: Presidential Primaries.

Beat Writer  Posts: 135 Joined: 30 Oct 2008     | I enjoyed that immensely. I would like to thank you for a lack of mazes, be they of twisty passages, thirsty cabbages, or anything else. I also appreciated a collection of puzzles that avoided logic from Bizarro-World. I was surprised that none of the classic 'magic words' got a reaction from the parser. When/if the next adventure launches, make sure to include dual-wielding; I mean, Halo 2 had it, and that was last generation! ;-) |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1470 Joined: 20 Jul 2008  | Does anyone know how to get that game to work? All I keep getting is a red x in the corner. I've asked a few times before hand and so far I haven't had any luck getting help to try and get the game to run for me. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1128 Joined: 1 May 2008     | Dammit! I've played through, gone as far as I can go without asking for hints... I'm missing chapter 2, I'm pretty sure I need to spice up the american dude's lunch (did I avoid the spoiler?), but it won't let me. It won't let me pick his lunch up, nor will it let me open the spice unless I've got his lunch. hint please |

Probably best to download the z8 and Frotz so you can play it offline. |

Oh my Susan, oh my indeed. Pictures going through my mind! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1913 Joined: 15 Jun 2008   | Haha, that was fun, although a few of the problems seemed a bit iffy. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1128 Joined: 1 May 2008 | finished :D finally... all I needed was one little hint off TROAE and I was done. |

Just guessing wildly from the info provided, you're running IE and the security settings are blocking Java by default. Since it's doesn't appear to offer an option to temporarily allow in the error message itself, you'd probably have to dig around in the preferences to turn it on, which may or may not be an ideal solution for you. Then again, you could be using a different browser and have an older version of Java. In that case you can grab the latest here:
If you're running Firefox 3, however, it has a bug running various Java applets, and this is likely one of them. Until they patch that bug, you'd need to use another browser or play the downloaded version. The downloadable version of the game is exactly the same, and will still generate a code for the badge, so if all else fails, grab it and the z-code interpreter of your choice. |

Thanks for letting me finish the game. Also, max points woohoo! Now all I need is them zombies... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3268 Joined: 7 Aug 2008   | please help me with chapter 4, I have the "dirt" but I don't know how to use it. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2833 Joined: 6 Feb 2008  |
Maybe there's some kind of machine around that could make it useful? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3268 Joined: 7 Aug 2008 |
Yeah, I know about what machine you mean (the dirt machine?) but I'm stumped as to what verb is needed. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2833 Joined: 6 Feb 2008 | should work. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3268 Joined: 7 Aug 2008 | should work. well in hind sight, that was quite obvious, I was going for more complicated stuff, as "put" had not worked for me yet, why should it now? |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 625 Joined: 23 Jan 2008  | Phew... finally! A game I managed to finish by myself. In terms of difficulty, the zombie and monster quizzes were true grotesque horror. This text adventure was just your average late-night scary movie. I guess I can brag that I beat this one without any help, though I never manged to find the bonus points that didn't have anything to do with amphibians or winged creatures...It's a shame! These contests were very fun, thanks for all the hard work at the Escapist! |

?!?!? I'm sure I know who you mean, but... what to do? Has anyone else got this? |

Muckraker  Posts: 229 Joined: 29 Mar 2008 | The last 2 I got were the street fighter guy and obnoxious donkey kong guy.

How do you redeem codes by the way? =/ |

I honestly can't seem to figure this out. =( Please can someone Pm me with hints and tips on this game. I don't do text adventures and I am completely stumped. Suggestions in my inbox will be very much appreciated, I've read this topic back and still have nothing to go on.
