I used to think you needed some aspects of speed and coordination for the blue room. I kept getting frustrated because of it. Porter showed me otherwise....

I'm not sure if I have the patience to deal with the white room. 7 variables, six sets of three, nothing divides nicely. I just haven't a clue where to go from here.

quote: There are actually strategies for the green and yellow rooms, too.
Well the green room had one and I'm sure the yellow room did as well, but at least for the yellow one, it came down to just hitting buttons until it was solved. I didn't really find a pattern to it. The green one was pretty much the same way, until right before I hit the last piece did I notice specific pieces glowing brighter on each wall. Doh! Must be because of my monitor settings.

I didn'tnotice a strategy for the green room. Did I just get really lucky and had the pieces fall into place by accident?
I couldn't figure out a strategy for the yellow room either. (See a pattern, I'm a freaking moron!).
*slight yellow spoiler*
Yellow just looked like a game with two sets of rules. The first set is like minesweeper, the second, the electoral college.

Well, I'm done. And I only needed help with the white room. Oh, well.
I don't know what to think of a staring game on a computer... so I'm off to find more mindless activities instead of working Posts: 3932 | Registered: Sep 1999

I did need the hint on the white room. I think it would've taken me forever to stumble across it myself.

I've got everything but the green room done. I can get 5 walls lit up - all four walls and the ceiling, but every button on the floor turns at least one of them off.
Oh, I hate you, green room!

Annie, here's a way to look at the green room: pushing a button makes that shape appear in exactly the same spot on every wall. If a shape ever overlaps an existing spot on ANY wall, the existing shape will go dark.
As the goal is to make the room completely green, this overlap is bad.
In order to achieve this goal, you will need to push one button on each wall.
Without revealing the easiest way to solve this, I will point out that, before you push any button, you can look at its shape and look at its relative positions on the walls to decide whether it would overlap any of the existing shapes.
If you have trouble placing the floor, try starting with the floor.

I thought the green and yellow rooms were easy!
*hint on green room* Look to the arrow thing you click, all other ones in that location also highlight. So you want to complete a box using arrows that fill it in from all over the room.
*hint on yellow* If you have one square but have yellow surrounding it, double click it.

I'm such a loser. I don't get it at all. Not even the first part. Actually, I just figured out it was the *inside* of a room instead of a weird looking cube.

I actually drew a lot of these out on paper. I am decent at envisioning complex objects, but I am not that good!

When I solved the puzzle I thought to myself, "I knew playing Doom and Duke Nuke'em would help me out in real life!"

And I have the best score! By a point... Might have something to do with the fact that I had to restart it several times 'cause I let other people try it on my computer too...
*SPOILERS* I was kind of clueless about the white, until I understood that the white itself was clueless and that I had to look somewhere else for clues. I wonder, were the *planets* in the other rooms from the beginning, or did they appear only when I finished all of those rooms?! And yeah, I needed pen and paper for orange and violet, green was ok even without although there was a trial and error phase and yellow resembled very much another puzzle I made sometime ago, but in a plane not in space. Once I figured out that when you click on an unlit square with only lit squares around it it doesn't light up it was easy.
Waiting for Dark Room 2!
Edit: Not first anymore... Oh well, I had my 20 minutes or something of glory!

There are no points Corwin, that's the number you finished in. you were the 5487th person to complete the puzzle.

signal, oh, that was just my big ego speaking! I see now that keeping a score while the people playing would have no idea what the score's about would be kind of useless. Unless you do something like least number of clicks / moves. Posts: 4519 | Registered: Sep 2003
