The Mysterious Anno Chest
Way back when there was a great point'n'click game named Siegburgspiel. The graphics were great, but it was made very tricky for non-German speakers like myself by the profusion of German text that was all too essential to understanding what was going on. However now there is The Mysterious Anno Chest, the English translation of the original Siegburgspiel, to make it accessible to all us non-polyglots. I should be happy, but somehow it takes some of the esoteric edge off of the game for me. It could be I'm just weird though, I'm sure the rest of you will love adventuring around this game that is promoting the German town of Sieburg [subbed by Caro, MsInterpret, B.J, WhiteCloud, Oo, sopdox, Ariadne, im4noles2, Sheila, Fingerclickingood & j].

Okay, so can anyone actually help me with the game? I'm trying to find the man who lives in 'the oldest house in the city'. I've found the house, but I can't seem to find the man. Anyone know where I should go?

You need to enter the

camera store
which is
HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
in the street with the racks of clothing
but I don't know if that's available until you've done certain other things.

Comment 17, Tuesday, April 24th 2007 02:52:02 AM

Suzanne

Hey Lost,.

when you are upstairs, if you click to the left of the first bench, a red arrow will appear, and you can go and examine a chest

Comment 18, Tuesday, April 24th 2007 02:52:44 AM

Lost - the old map
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)

Thanks suzanne, unfortunately it won't let go in, I might change safari to firefox, not getting any red arrows.

Hey Lost,

You don't actually get a copy of it, you have to make a copy


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
once you get into the museum talk to the man, he will get you to visit a house, once you do that, you will unlock a room behind the guy in the museum, where you can see the old map

I do, would it help if i said I'm on page 8 of my notebook? can someone give me some clues? I think i have to make a copy of that map

or do something with the hammer, it's the only thing that i can use

Comment 27, Tuesday, April 24th 2007 03:05:48 AM

Lost

:
Clueless, I think its the old red brick house before the church, the plaque says its the oldest house. Anyone any ideas on where exactly to click by the museum to enter, feel like I've made no progress and I have to get up in a few hours for work, ah the addiction of a point and clicker. : (

Comment 28, Tuesday, April 24th 2007 03:07:01 AM

Sweetclarity

:
Suzanne: Where'd you pick up the hammer?

Clueless: If you mean the house of the museum man's friend, it's
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
by the church - press spacebar on every screen around the church because the entrance will be a new arrow that wasn't there before.

:
Lost - it's not that house, but it is very close.

Comment 30, Tuesday, April 24th 2007 03:08:14 AM

Suzanne

:
Clueless, The house

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
is up by the church, go to the place where you can see that really old house that is locked, and should be able to go left

Lost

:
Sweet charity, thank you so much for the space bar tip, why didnt I know that before.

Comment 32, Tuesday, April 24th 2007 03:09:48 AM

Lost, the museum entrance isn't open at first - try going to the church and striking up a conversation?

once you get into the house, go to the left, and click on everything, you will find a key that will unlock a room where you can get alot of stuff
