Yay, I got it on my first try

. It took a while though, I spent some time scratching my head thinking "what the heck is a petal?" until I finally got off me lazy arse to fetch my dictionary

. It seemed quite obvious after that.

I don't know if you'd wish some hints, because the coolest thing is to discover it all by your own. Try and "read" the cube before you read the spoiler!!.

Anyway here you have some clues:

In one of the sides you can see something that is like a map: 7 groups of 4 small squareseach. Each gruop of squares is of a different colour. In the top side and in two of the others you'll find a little circle. If you click on it it will light that side with a primary colour (red, blue, yellow) if you click on the only button you'll find in one of the upper corners, then you'll get into a new cube that is colured with the same colour of the side you had lighten on. If you complete the riddle of that side you'll see that one of the groups of squares of the main map gets light on that clour too. I suppso that you must solve 7 cubes: 3 primary colours, 3 secondary colours and the white one. So far I've solved just three

Yay!! I got the green one!!

I just did the petal one. Hm...

I thought about it for a while, figured it would have to be something like a petal around the rose shape- because things like that are always simple and that was the simplest answer I could think of. The first time I did it, I counted the ones on the sides top and bottom too, and didn't pay attention to whether or not there was one in the middle. Using the correct answer, I stared at it for a while, got a basic idea, and tried again. I was wrong again because I again didn't pay attention to whether a rose was present. the third time I got it right and got it right every time after that. If that makes me stupid because I didn't take that long, then I guess I'm stupid. I guess if you're smart you'll probably be able to make a good guess your first try just by reading the hidden meanings within the hidden meanings. Or something.

I'm addicted to that road block game too, and also stuck on 17. Can I have a clue maybe?

Starr Polish · 01-27-2005, 12:36 PM

I'm stuck on Level 12 of the Roadblock game. Sad...

I've made three sides: blue, yellow and orange, but I'm lost in all the others

I've gotten pretty far in the Dark Room. I figured out how the colours work and other more annoying things about the puzzle.

I'll share what I've learned via PM, but I don't want to put huge spoilers in the thread, even though I could "lemon chiffon" them.

Unless you guys don't mind.

As I'm sure you know (for those that tried The Dark Room) there's a lot to the game. I could say a lot without giving away the entire game.

Not sad at all Starr, I was stuck on 12 for ages! Want a hand with that one?
EDIT: Aw crap I was stuck on that level for ages and now I don't remember how to solve it. O.o

Starr Polish · 01-27-2005, 01:45 PM

YES! I cannot figure it out at ALL.

Edit: Erm...scratch that. I just started playing it again, pressed some random buttons and somehow managed to get to the next level...heh.

**Nurvingiel** · 01-27-2005, 02:03 PM

Spoiler the answer for me! I did the same thing and solved it before, now I can't remember what that was... aaaaa.... X_x

**Nurvingiel** · 01-27-2005, 02:30 PM

I just starting pressing buttons at random, and the third try I solved it too!

It is sooo easy too...

(highlight below)

Twista · 01-27-2005, 02:34 PM

**Nurvingiel** · 01-27-2005, 02:40 PM

The blue side of the cube is...
(spoiler below)

... it's the wall opposite the door. The switch is in the centre, at the bottom.

Have you gotten to any puzzles yet?

Gladly! I've been trying to get through Level 17 for more than an hour! (Same here, eh, Nurv.

)

**Nurvingiel** · 01-27-2005, 04:40 PM

Try The Dark Room guys, it's driving FM and I up the wall!

But it's awesome. And do-able. You feel really satisfied when things go right.

EDIT: OMG I solved it!!! Now... how did I do that...
