15.> This one comes up with "Light piece from great orchestra." The answer is hidden in "greaT ORCHestra." And it's a light piece. So you need a torch. There's one on the altar in the Chapel. Go touch it, and you get a scene with Chuck dropping off a dead body at the Mansion. Great. Well, now you get another clue..."cheesy object that sounds larger." Larger...or greater. Cheese grater. That, of course, is in the kitchen. Go over to the butcher's block, and you'll find a series of eyeball plates arranged around a pentagram. This is another puzzle. The object is to create five stacks of two plates on every point of the star pattern. A plate must jump two plates, stacked or not. Once moved, a plate cannot be moved again. At least this one HAS a solution. Assume the plates are arranged like this: (1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 are the five star points) 10 1 9 2 8 3 7 4 6 5 Then, do the following. Move 8 to 1. Move 6 to 3. Move 10 to 5. Move 4 to 7. Move 2 to 9. That's all there is to it. Now turn right and look at the stove. There's a bloody cheese grater there. Pick it up. COOL! Crawling, severed fingers! Nice effect! Then the GameBook beeps, and you get another clue. 16.> "500=100=0" Those of us who are mathematically inclined will say, "boy, is THAT a dumb equation." Consider, though. 0 is a round object. 500 in Roman numerals is "D," and 100 in Roman numerals is "C." So "D=C=round object," or "D is C is round object," or, if you will, "DISC is round object." So you need a disc. Head up to the lab, and check out the small table next to the French door. A case for...believe it or not..."The 7th Guest." Good grief, talk about advertising! You get another short video clip. Then you wind up with another clue, "Blend a teapot shot and the pearlies won't rot." Teapot shot is an anagram for "Toothpaste." So go to the Bathroom (no, I mean WALK to the bathroom) and check the sink. Touch the toothpaste and it turns into a big green bug. Ick. Now the GameBook gives you yet another clue. "Slyness holding shipment in choppe?" Note that "choppe" is spelled in French style. Sly...can be "guile," and a holding shipment is a "lot." So, "Guile lot in choppe." Guillotine. Head off to Hamilton Temple's room. You'll find a cube on the bookshelf in there, which is yet another puzzle. Click on it. Your mission is to get a path from one "arrow" face to the other. The trick here is that the number of pips aren't really numbers, they indicate direction. The direction you choose...defines the meaning of the die face from which you move. So, basically, let's say you start with a the four. Then you click on the one, to its right. From now on, whenever you click on a four face, the next move must be to the right. So, here's one solution (there's several). Start by clicking on the four above the first arrow. Then click on the three above it. (So four="up"). Then click on the six above and to the right of the three (so three="up&to the right"). Then click on the one down and to the right of the six (so six="down& to the right"). Now click on the five to the right of the one (so one="right") Finally, click on the three below the five (so five="down") The puzzle will solve itself from there (because the three will send the path automatically up and to the right to another three, then up and to the right again to the one, which shifts it right to the three, which shifts it up and to the right...to the exit arrow). Now go touch the guillotine...it slices down, but doesn't get you. Then the GameBook has another vid sequence...this one of Eileen's hand getting caught in the Mansion gate and...well, you don't need to know the details, do you? Anyway, you'll get another clue then..."Poor drainage could still produce a flower." 17.> "Drainage" is another anagram...for "Gardenia." Go to the top of the stairs and look at the painting...yep. The big white flower on the left at the bottom is a gardenia. Click it. Nothing seems to happen, but you'll get a message as you start to walk off. After a while, the GameBook beeps again, with another clue..."Sounds like it got higher from wine." Got higher...it "rose." Rose wine. But what you need is a rose, the flower. Go to Martine Burden's bedroom. Go to the table with the pyramid on it...it's another puzzle. For this one, you have to click on letters. You must reveal two fifteen letter words, and once a letter has been chosen, you may not pass through that letter's space again. The outer corridor will always remain open. After you do the first word, different letters reappear to let you get the second word. Okay, the words you want are "UNINTENTIONALLY STRAIGHTFORWARD," so here is the order to click on the letters in: (First word): 13 4 6 3 7 12 14 8 11 5 15 9 10 2 1 (Second word): 11 5 12 4 6 1 14 7 2 10 13 15 8 3 9 Anyway, once you finish, go over to the vanity...and there's a rose in a vase on it. Click on it, and a petal will fall off. You turn around and run into...Martine Burden. Well, this is an interesting little scene...and she just fades out afterwards. Sorry, folks. I always thought she was a serious babe anyway. Then the GameBook beeps again. Check it, for another clue (big surprise). 18.> "What kind of jewelry is angrier?" Well, well, another anagram. "Angrier" is "earring." So head off to Julia Heine's room. Go for the jewelry box. There's another puzzle, this one in the pendant. The rules are simple: Each gem must be adjacent to a gem of a matching color. You can rotate a cluster of gems or swap positions with another cluster. So, here's a solution. If the pendant is set up like this: 1 6 2 5 3 4 Then, swap 3 and 4. Swap 3 and 6. Swap 3 and 5. Then turn 6 twice, 5 twice, 4 five times, 3 four times, and 2 twice. That'll do it. Next, go over to the vanity and pick up the earring. You'll get a sick little sequence with a ripped-off ear bleeding rather profusely. Nice. Then, guess what, the game book beeps again. This one comes up with "You might hear a well-mannered Cockney with a 60's hairstyle." Well-mannered could mean how someone behaves...and a Cockney accent would make that how someone "behoives," and a 60's hairstyle is...a beehive. So you need a beehive. Go back up to the Attic and click on the door past the staircase (you know, where ya finally beat Stauf in the 7th Guest?). 19.> Up here is a blasted-out room. And a little beehive honeycomb on the floor, which winds up with blood and honey in it. This is another AI puzzle, and doubtless, fans of the 7th Guest will recognize this as the goddamn cell game from that one, except this time, Stauf has the blood and you have the honey. Globules divide into two when moved to an adjacent cell, and jumping two cells moves the globule without replicating. Honey absorbs adjacent cells filled with blood, and vice versa. Listen up, folks. Stauf responds in the same way you hit him. Be aggressive, and he does the same. Play defensively, and he does the same. There are 60 cells total, and you need 31 to win. So, it's even WORSE than the lab puzzle from 7th Guest. There is no set strategy, and it is a MAJOR pain in the ass. So, to be simple, once you get frustrated, just let Samantha do it...hell, it might even take HER a couple tries, but eventually, she will beat Stauf if you just keep punching the button. When you finally beat it, you'll get a long video sequence, which shows a LOT of info about what's been going on here...and an interesting thought. The house is alive, an alien creature. It raped both Eileen and Samantha. Samantha had an abortion, which left her paralyzed, but Eileen gave birth to Marie...a daughter of the house itself. Eww. I don't even want to think about that one for too long. Anyway, that triggers the end of the 9 p.m. hour and the start of the 10 p.m. hour. 20.> You start off with a clue...big surprise..."Instrument is sharp, but missing its head." Well, it's an instrument. And it's "sharp," but missing its head...the first letter. So you get "harp." That's in the music room, way downstairs. Great. Head down there, and you'll find that the piano is blocking the harp. On the mantle is a small game with all sorts of furniture, and a piano. The idea is to move the pieces around until you can move the piano off the board. This one is ROUGH. Anyway, figure the pieces are arranged like this initially: 1 (lounge) 10 (piano) 2 (lounge) 6(chair) 7(chair) 8(chair) 9(chair) 4(lounge) 3 (table) 5 (lounge) (It's tricky to look at it like that, but consider it as on an angle. You only have two squares open, those to the "south of," or "down from" the endtable.) 3 towards the right side of the board, 7 towards the right side of the board, 7 away from you, 6 away from you, 6 towards the right side of the board, 4 towards the left side of the board, 3 towards you, 7 towards the right side of the board, 6 away from you, 4 away from you, 1 towards the right side of the board, 1 towards the right side of the board, 10 towards you, 8 towards the left side of the board, 8 towards the left side of the board, 6 towards the left side of the board, 6 towards the left side of the board, 7 towards the left side of the board, 7 towards the left side of the board, 5 towards you, 9 towards the right side of the board, 9 towards the right side of the board, 2 towards the right side of the board, 2 towards the right side of the board, 8 away from you, 6 away from you, 10 away from you, 1 towards the left side of the board, 1 towards the left side of the board, 4 towards you, 7 towards you, 7 towards the right side of the board, 10 towards the right side of the board, 8 towards you, 8 towards you, 6 towards the left side of the board, 6 towards you, 2 towards the left side of the board, 2 towards the left side of the board, 9 towards the left side of the board, 9 towards the left side of the board, 5 away from you, 7 away from you, 7 towards the right side of the board, 10 towards the right side of the board, 8 towards the right side of the board, 8 away from you, 1 away from you, 4 towards the left side of the board, 4 towards the left side of the board, 10 towards you, 9 towards you, 9 towards the right side of the board, 5 towards the left side of the board, 7 away from you, 9 towards the right side of the board, 10 away from you, 4 towards the right side of the board, 4 towards the right side of the board, 1 towards you, 6 towards you, 8 towards you, 2 towards you, 5 towards the left side of the board, 5 towards the left side of the board, 10 away from you, 8 towards the right side of the board, 8 towards the right side of the board, 6 towards the right side of the board, 6 towards the right side of the board, 1 away from you, 4 towards the left side of the board, 4 towards the left side of the board, 8 towards you, 8 towards the left side of the board, 3 towards the left side of the board, 9 towards you, 9 towards you, 7 towards you, 7 towards you, 10 towards the right side of the board, 6 away from you, 6 away from you, 8 away from you, 8 away from you, 3 towards the left side of the board, 7 towards the left side of the board, 7 towards you, 10 towards you, 10 towards the right side of the board. 90 moves, and the piano is off the board. ALL RIGHT! Turn around, and note...the piano is now gone. You can go touch the harp. Then the GameBook beeps with another clue. This begins a good string of stuff without a puzzle. 21.> "A defective truck with a crane makes for a ball-busting ballet." Truck and crane is an anagram for "nutcracker," but for a good laugh, hit the Help key three times to hear Samantha get a bit embarressed by the clue she gives out. Go upstairs to the hallway and touch the nutcracker on the floor in the corner down at the far right end of the hall. It animates for a minute, then you get another video sequence...with Marie and Chuck. Then you get another clue..."Look at key missing first misprinted label." Key missing first...is ey. Then rearrange the letters in label to get eball, and you get...eyeball. The "look at" is also a clue. Go into the Game Room and click on the little cue ball, painted like an eyeball. It spins around, with cut nerves and blood...ick. Then you get ANOTHER clue..."Disabled cutting edge." Hell with it. Without explanation, you find "blade" inside "Disabled," which also reflects the "cutting edge" bit. So you want a blade. Go into Temple's bedroom and click on the hunting knife in the headboard of the bed. You get another video, this one with Chuck stabbing...something. Great. Just what you needed to see. Then you get another clue, one of my favorites..."Unreasonable reason." Unreasonable can mean crazy. A reason for doing something is your motive. So crazy motive... or loco motive. Go to the attic and touch the toy train. A neat little sequence follows, and then you get yet another clue. "Paper used in unusual theses." Theses mixed up is "sheets." Go to Martine Burden's room and touch the bloody part of the bedsheet to get another video sequence...this one with Chuck getting pulled into the house with a bloody corpse. Then you get another clue..."Adriot holding a sharp instrument." Well, this time it's a different blade. Adroit means "clever." So the clue is actually "Clever holding 'A'...sharp instrument," or "Cleaver." Go to the kitchen and grab the meat cleaver embedded in the door. Then you get a wonderful scene with Julia Heine (looking younger than before), Chuck, and Stauf...and Chuck finally gets the cleaver in the head. YAAAYYY!!! Of course, then you get another clue from the GameBook. This one is "A desserted Arthropod." An Arthropod is a type of crustacean. And it's a dessert. Go to the Dining Room, and note the cake shaped like a...yep...a Trilobyte. That's the AI puzzle for the end of the 10 p.m. hour. 22.> When you click on it, you wind up in a game of Connect Four, with bonbons. You're playing against Stauf. The whole mission is to get four of your bonbons connected in a row, four connected in a column, or four connected in a diagonal before Stauf does. THIS time, however, I happen to have a winning strategy, but it all depends on Stauf's first move. There are eight available columns, as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Always start in column 3 or column 6. If you start in column 3 and Stauf then opens with column 5, you've got him. If you start in column 6 and he opens with column 4, you've got him. Otherwise, I'd suggest you just reset the puzzle...or play him, if you want the fun. Anyway, let's say you get the first situation (you pick 3 and he takes 5). Play in this order, using the columns above as a guide (the odd-numbered moves are yours): 6 4 8 3 7 10 9 11 1 5 2 In that one, you win on the 11th move. Now, let's say the other situation happens; you start in 6 and he takes 4. Play in this order, using the columns above as a guide (once again, the odd-numbered moves are yours): 11 10 14 8 12 4 5 3 6 7 2 15 1 9 13 You can win this one fairly easily. Then you get another long sequence...Chuck stabbed the chief (who'd apparently been sleeping with Robin) instead of Robin...so he got the axe. Or the cleaver, in this case. And so on, up into showing Robin entering the house...and the beginning of the eleventh hour. 11 p.m. 23.> Once again, we start off with a clue. "663 264625 46 2 6455466." Another telephone message, and this one says "one animal in a million." Is there an animal in "million?" Yup. A lion. There's a lion sculpture at the top of the stairs. Go up and touch it. You'll see a scene in which Robin is attacked by a cougar. She and her sister drowned a kitten when they were young, apparently. Hmmph. Bitch deserves to die, after all. Anyway, you then get another clue. "Drink left at sea." Well, left at sea is "port." Port wine is a drink. Head to the Knox's bedroom and click on the wine glass on the table next to the bed. Edward Knox appears, tries to warn you, and then his head blows up. COOL! Then you get another clue..."Snake, baby, trap." These are all words that are associated with "rattle." So go to the Doll Room. On the bureau is a wooden puzzle with tinker toys and chess bishops on it. This is another puzzle. You have to interchange the white bishops on one side with the black bishops on the other. You can move any piece in any order, but it must move along a straight line, and cannot land in line with a bishop of the opposite color. Okay, set the "board" up like this: 4 8 2 6 10 3 7 1 5 9 Where the white bishops start on positions 9 and 10, and the black bishops start on positions 1 and 2. Move 10 to 7. Move 1 to 8. Move 2 to 3. Move 7 to 4. Move 3 to 5. Move 8 to 10. Move 9 to 6. Move 6 to 1. Move 4 to 6. Move 5 to 2. Move 10 to 5. Move 6 to 8. Move 5 to 7. Move 2 to 4. Move 8 to 3. Move 7 to 10. Move 4 to 9. And move 3 to 2 to win. To the left of the bureau, check the floorboards to find a trapdoor...a passage to the nursery. Search around there, and you'll find the rattle. Then you'll get a scene in the nursery...in which Stauf offers Robin money, power, and all that wonderful kind of stuff. Then the video ends...and you get another clue. 24.> "A letter from Greece is quite a number in Rome." Those of you who know the Greek alphabet, raise your hands. Okay, one Greek letter is XI, which is...guess what...eleven in Roman numerals. Go back to the grandfather clock and click on the eleven on the clock face. You get a long video in which...well, we find out, sort of, what happened to Robin. Sort of. Then you talk to Samantha again, who tells you to get out now...she says you can't win. Not what you wanted to hear. Then the GameBook beeps again with another clue..."This eight letter word has "K-S-T" in the middle, in the beginning, and at the end." But that would be nine letters just for the KSTKSTKST. Stupid sounding, but it's another trick. It has "KST" in the middle, "IN" the beginning, "AND" at the end. Or, "INKSTAND." Head back to the Library (groan). When you click on the inkstand, the pen writes down "Play in my doll house!" Head back to the Doll Room, and click on the dollhouse. When you look inside, you'll find that there's a little puzzle on the floor. The Help button won't help you...Samantha says it's because the connection is getting weak. This is deliberate, not because of overusing the help feature. This is the last AI game, and you've got to beat it on your own. It is, in fact, the game of Pente, where the object is to get five of your pieces in a row, or capture five pairs of your opponent's pieces. If you enclose a pair of opponent's pieces with two of your own, you will "capture" those pieces. The whole idea is to get an "open four," or four connected piece of your color without one of Stauf's on either end of the line of four. Get one of those, and you've won, because you should be able to get five no matter what Stauf tries. Luckily, when you play this the first time, you get the first move...and Stauf plays rather half-heartedly. After all, he doesn't mind you beating this one, considering what you'll deal with next. If you go back and play again later, though, he'll play much harder, and if you somehow manage to go back and do it a third time, he starts looking five moves ahead (nearly impossible to beat). Anyway, whenever you manage to beat him, you're on to the final challenge. 25.> You go on to a long video, in which you're the contestant in Stauf's game show. He opens up three doors, and you get to pick which one you want. Behind the left door is Marie, in full "slut" mode, offering herself up for you. In the middle is Samantha, in a TV set, logically asking you to choose her. Behind the right door is Robin, who you've been looking for the whole time anyway...and she tells you that she loves you. Okay, folks, it's decision time. Who do you pick? The lusty Marie? Helpful Samantha? Or your former girlfriend, Robin? Hmmm. Actually, I think it's pretty logical, but here's what happens for each one you choose: IF YOU PICK MARIE: Basically, you wind up back at a no-tell motel. You and she start to get it on...and then she turns into Stauf in a wig...who then reverts to his natural alien form and proceeds to eat you alive. Literally. IF YOU PICK ROBIN: Things seem great, as you go off together, and apparently get married. Then YOU are found murdered, and Robin is found to now be president of the brand-new Stauf broadcasting company. Guess Samantha was right, and she said Yes to Stauf after all. IF YOU PICK SAMANTHA: You have a little conversation with Samantha back at her house. Then you turn on the monitor...and Stauf's house burns to the ground. This, of course, is the ending you're "supposed" to pick in order to truly win the game. End of story! GAME OVER, MAN!
