Escape 3
You are all getting too good at point'n'click games people. At first they were happy with trapping us in a room and making it tricky to escape. But increasingly these days they are putting ten locks on the thing so that requires us finding 10 keys. Latest in line in this genre is Escape 3 which is damn tricky. Can you find all the keys and escape the basement? Can you even start? [subbed by Britchick, Helen, Kelly, Matt, Misty, winniethepooh & Mara].

kk if wish to cheat and skip puzzles

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
use basketball that bounces highest and get all 10 keys. u get 1 for each basket. but again that would be cheating and we don't wish to do that now do we!

:
from words on bottom go to middle and just a bit up cursor won't change then move barell and flip switch fast afore light goes out or have to restart

I'VE TRIED 500 F*CKING TIMES WHERE I HAVE TWO OBVIOUS ITEMS WHERE MY CURSOR CHANGES IN THE DARK AREAS BUT AFTER 25 MINUTES I AM THROUGH WITH THIS NONSENSE. THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!! I'VE CLICKED ABOUT 20,000 TIMES.
WTF????

Far too many glitches for my liking in this game - tried the slide puzzle again and after about 20 mins (Im not too hot at those things!) I was on piece out, and in the middle of rearranging, it decided that it didnt want to move anymore,and now i cant do anything! all that effort for nothing! grrrrrrrr!!!!

Does any one know what to do with the playing cards?

Comment 26, Saturday, August 19th 2006 04:23:00 PM

Flippa xXx

:
And I'm out. and it was sooooo not worth it! I got 2 keys from the basketball cos my slide puzzle didnt work (only 50% of them will) so I dont feel like I cheated too much! So not worth it for it to just say PLAY AGAIN!

Comment 27, Saturday, August 19th 2006 04:36:00 PM

for the playing cards:

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
think of the highest hand you can have

I know they are called point and click games, but sometimes there can be too much clicking!!!!

Could someone exactly explain where the goddamn match is, PLEASE!

It is a lot easier to play at full-screen, but it is still a major pain in the butt to play! <a href="http://www.gameshandbook.com/fullscreen.php?game=847" style="color:maroon">Full screen version</a>

You can check out this walkthrough I did in case you want some help with any part of the game... <a href="http://pointandclickgames.com/esc3hints.shtml" style="color:maroon">Hints</a>

This is probably the worst PnC game I ever played :-(
The creator didn't have the player in mind.

I hate this game!

Comment 34, Saturday, August 19th 2006 07:21:00 PM

None

:
This is an absolutely stupid and boring game. Even with the help "hints" you can't find the stupid matches!!! It's impossible, why does the cursor not even change?

Comment 35, Saturday, August 19th 2006 07:21:00 PM

Hotcrossbunny

:
i actually liked the beginning part with the match. thought it was clever and took some thinking and careful p&c-ing. but the game did fall apart after that -- not to mention all the glitches.

Comment 36, Saturday, August 19th 2006 07:45:00 PM

Nefretit

:
Clever?
I don't see anything clever in the picture of me clicking ten thousands times on black screen, and nothing happens :( although my cursor is changing somewhere on the left side of screen, nothing happens, so I am done with this clicking.....

Comment 37, Saturday, August 19th 2006 08:33:00 PM

Nefretit

:
Zoom in few times, and then search left side of the screen. Finally find it...
Same thing with finding switch, need to zoom in

:
sorry I cant play a game that plainly requires luck to get you going. If I was really in the cellar, I would feel the match by moving my hand along the floor. but not by waving it about prodding the floor at random. A good P&C game should at least have some logic to it.

Ok some games require very keen eyes to see the tiny pixel, but at least you can see it!

I appreciate the sentiment they are trying to portray in this game. But if they really wanted people to play it.......

Oh yeah, and when you FIRST click on the link above to start the game (don't make the screen bigger or anything) - the match box or whatever is right above the letter M in the word GAME in the sentence below it (about 2 cm above)

"( Room Escape Game) Third escape gaMe from the Gameshandbook´s escape series. Your objective is to find 10 keys to escape."

I liked the beginning hard but possible i hate that stupid slide puzzle and basketball game 2 they just dont work 4 me too many bugs on this game i thinks!

Comment 42, Saturday, August 19th 2006 10:49:00 PM

CJ

:
Anyone solved the game without getting insane?
I'm out. The basketballs driving me nuts, and the puzzle thing would take me an hour at least. I give up.

Comment 43, Sunday, August 20th 2006 12:15:00 AM

Polp

:
played this from another site (gamers****) and used the walkthroughs from it's forum. everyone there pretty much hated all the clicking too. finally finished without cheating (basketballs) but all in all a poorly written game because of the pixel hunting.

Comment 44, Sunday, August 20th 2006 02:53:00 AM

Sophie

:
Yeah, I have to agree that making a game THAT tricky sort of takes the fun out of it.

Comment 45, Sunday, August 20th 2006 04:33:00 AM

Tze

:
Can't start it. Can't find the match. Giving up now.

Comment 46, Sunday, August 20th 2006 04:51:00 AM

:
How can you even enjoy a game if you can't even start it..... I love mysteries, but this is ridiculous!!!!! Awful game...

:
Hi there

This may be redundant but as a latecomer to the p'n'c world, I nevertheless expect the game to be coherent. If the gamemeister or meistress imagines that I am amused by clicking every last pixel of the screen to find the infernal, key, match, whatever to pursue the game, well, we move on. It is the internet after all.

Cheers

Yo, Graeme... When do we get a journal entry on that erm - absence of yours.... Hmmm? We're waiting....

:
After completing the slide puzzle and getting the key from it, another key appeared in the puzzle, and after solving it once more, I got this key as well. Is this just like the basketbal game another cheating way to get all ten keys?
