Ta-na-ba-ta
I think the idea of Ta-na-ba-ta is to escape the room by somehow navigating your way passed the cat guarding the door - there are plenty of items to point'n'click and collect, but there is a bit of a language barrier, despite some English making an appearance [subbed by crazylegs].

You don't really need to understand the language in order to escape..you can do it without knowing what is going on...not as much fun..but still doable :o)

Play around with the

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
papers, scissors, and paste (nori--green tube). Then head out side and decorate something with what you've created.

Done everthing and one space left
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
haven't found a place for the plate--or anything to put on it. Also missing whatever goes in the box next to the scissors.
PotP?

And what do you do once you've laid the big orange paper (?) on the table? Can't write on it... Anyone an idea?

Comment 33, Sunday, July 1st 2007 01:46:56 PM

Me

:
@Steph & Mimi: I think the paste was close to the window...

Comment 34, Sunday, July 1st 2007 01:47:52 PM

Me

:
Oh, I just noticed, I think I had all pieces before - the thing next to the scissor probably was that orange paper I've already put on the table... But I can't remember where I found that...

Comment 35, Sunday, July 1st 2007 01:49:36 PM

Steph

:
I can see a pot that's clickable near the window but no paste...:-(

Me

:
@Brian: That sounds weird... Have you found the table and checked if it went there? Or did you forget to click onto it to get it into your inventory in first pace? In that case just check the book again?
