Invisiclues

How do I get inside the house?

1. As the game begins, try walking east or west, then returning to the south junction (by going south).
2. Hmmm. The statue is facing a different direction. Peculiar, eh?
3. You can turn the statue so that the bazooka points in any compass direction.
4. Just like the dial on some kind of wacky combination lock.
5. If you could find the right combination of directions to turn the statue in, you could unlock the front door.
6. Did you find any compass directions mentioned in any of the materials in your game package?
7. Look closely at the poem on the back of Uncle Buddy's photo.
8. The poem prominently mentions three directions within various movie titles.
9. If you turn the statue in these directions, in order, the front door will unlock with a click.

Is there anything I should do with the statue of Buck Palace, the fighting letter carrier?

1. Yes, Buck is very important.
2. Have you noticed you can turn Buck to point in different directions?
3. Buck will help you get in the house. See the previous question if you need more help.

I can't get past the water buffalo in Charo's kitchen. What should I do?

1. Drink all the water in any pond.
2. Squeeze your nose with a garlic mincer.
3. Swallow your hands.
4. Go rollerskating in a nearby subway tunnel.
5. Only develop the answers to questions on which you're really stumped.

What should I do in the hedge maze?

1. As you may have guessed, you'll need to get to a secret location within the maze.
2. The location of this spot is well-marked on a map of the maze.
3. Have you found a piece of paper with lines on it?
4. If so, then you have a partial map of the maze. It shows the positions of half of the hedge walls.
5. The X on the piece of paper shows where your destination in the hedge maze is located.
6. By itself, the piece of paper is enough to go on; you can fill in the other positions of the hedge walls by trial and error. This will require a considerable amount of patience and map-making, though.
7. If you'd like to save time and effort, you'll find a second piece of paper later in the story. It shows the locations of the other hedge walls.
8. If you PUT THE YELLOWED PIECE ON THE THIN PIECE, you'll be able to view the whole hedge maze map.

Hey, the secret location in the maze isn't any different from the other spots In the maze! What gives?

1. The location is cosmetically the same as any other in the maze...
2. ...but looks aren't everything.
3. What would a pirate do at the X on a treasure map? (No, I don't mean a software pirate!)
4. Did you bring a shovel into the maze?
5. If so, typing DIG IN GROUND should uncover something different.

How do I open the small compartment under the cannon?

1. You'll have to move the cannon off of the compartment's lid first.
2. Like most cannons, however, this one is much too heavy for a person to move.
3. If you fired the cannon, the recoil might push it back a few feet.
4. Especially if there was something heavy in the barrel.
5. How about the cannon ball?
6. TAKE THE CANNON BALL. PUT IT IN THE CANNON. LIGHT THE FUSE with any source of fire. When the cannon fires, it will recoil, and move off of the small compartment.

Where can I find a source of fire?

1. There's a match inside the mansion.

How do I open the hatch at the cliff?

1. You can't open it from above. You'll find a way to open it from below later on in the story.

Is there a way to get the ladder up the cliff face?

1. It's a pretty heavy ladder.
2. And such a steep cliff!
3. In short, no.

How do I get across the gap in the beach stairs?

1. If you haven't figured out how to get into the mansion, you won't be able to cross the gap. Go on to something else for now.
2. If you've gotten into the house and explored a little of the first floor, then this puzzle should be a downhill struggle.
3. Snow what I mean?
4. The skis will help you across the gap.
5. Take the skis to the top landing and put them on. Then, just SKI DOWN THE STAIRS. They'll carry you across the gap.
