Countless spikes shoot out of all sides as you get holed up all over the place.

You wake up in a white room as you did before.

Anyone order a York-Kabob?

Reposting these for ease of viewing

North:   Purple - 95D57F
East:    Green  - 00FFFF
South:   Blue   - E7D646
West:    Green  - 15474C
Floor:   Red    - 083FFF
Ceiling: Orange - 7CFA89


So on the other side of the hatch, there is another room? Which would mean there's at least 7 rooms in total?

Re: Time Waster Dungeoneering IV

I guess you won...and lost.  The goal of the game is to get out of the room, and you did so, quite pointedly I might add.  I'm not sure what Sive had in mind as far as his "dungeon room" other than that it's like the movie Cube.

Re: Time Waster Dungeoneering IV

I think it was supposed to be part of a larger thing...I don't know.  The purpose of this thread is to have simple one room adventures that can be solved or explored without too much extra involvement, and then you "win" if you exit the room.

We shouldn't have more than one "room" unless it is clearly explained when a person "exits" that the puzzle is not over, that he did "not" manage to exit the room...and in any case, should not be overly complex.  People here just won't invest the time in long adventures or multiple rooms.

Re: Time Waster Dungeoneering IV

HERE'S A NEW ONE TO DRIVE YOU CRAZY.  I did this on my Matrix game a few years back.  There is a way out, if you can figure it out before you die.



You are in a round room.  There is a steel door that is locked but no other apparent exit.

Next to the door is a red button.  Above the button are the words:  "PRESS HERE."  Next to the button is a small monochrome screen that reads: RESETTING

The ceiling is about 20 feet above you.  There are no other apparent signs of egress besides the steel door.  There are spikes in the ceiling pointing down toward you.

The screen next to the button flashes the words 'RESET COMPLETE' and the spikes begin slowly moving down to crush you.

The screen then reads, changing once per second:  "20...19...18..."  You can assume that your death will occur about the time it reaches 0.

Re: Time Waster Dungeoneering IV

The word appears to be just painted on and pushing it does nothing.

The ceiling continues to come down toward you.  The counter reads...

17...16...15...

Re: Time Waster Dungeoneering IV

You push the button.

The words change to "RESETTING."

The ceiling goes back up, and then begins coming down again.  The screen reads:

"20...19...18..."

Re: Time Waster Dungeoneering IV

Uhhh, I press and hold the button?

If it just resets again, I'll wait until the spikes are nearly on me, then I'll press the button again.

Re: Time Waster Dungeoneering IV

The ceiling resets again when you push it.

It counts down...and you wait until the spikes are about the height of your head (giving you a little extra room to push the button before the spikes make pushing it impossible), which is at about the count of "5," then push the button and it resets once again.

Anyone can jump in at any time.  You're in the room if you imagine yourself there. :)

That would be very funny if that were the solution, but it is not.  The door does not budge.

Re: Time Waster Dungeoneering IV

The ceiling resets, but the door won't open with the pushing.

Talking to the door accomplishes nothing, and is a sign of insanity.  :)
