They do have to be contiguous. They do have to be the same size (5 squares). Have you tried making any of the pieces a straight line around the edge?

First off, realize that the bishops on the black squares and the bishops on the white squares do not interact in any way. What I am about to write is a set of instructions for the white squares. Once you have done that, you will have to change the numbers 1-4 to 4-1 and repeat the process with the black squares. The grid is number/lettered as follows: 4 3 2 1 A B C D E Black moves White moves ----------- ----------- A2->B3 E2->D3->B1 B3->D1 E4->D3->C4 B1->A2 D1->C2->E4 C4->E2 A2->C4 E4->B1 A4->C2->E4 E2->D1 C4->B3->A4 B1->E2 D1->B3->A2 D3->E2 You may now fall down and worship at my feet. /T7G-4 #33235 18-MAY-93 18:21 From: Tia To: ** ALL ** Re: coin and card puzzles (1 reply) I have the answers to these in my notes.

That file will not allow anybody to see the ending sequence, and does not provide solutions to any of the puzzles. It is simply provided for the benefit of those who have solved the puzzles and wish to show their friends the solutions. Michael Gater, Product Support Manager P.S. I'm sure there are other uses for the "Open House" save game, but uploading it here is not one of them. /T7G-4 #33568 21-MAY-93 03:52 (Reply to #32771) From: Cdc To: Chuckl Re: Cake Ok for the cake I start at the top right. you always need to get 2 shulls and 2 stones, then 1 icing. they all have to be touch each other. after you get the first group (in upper right of cake) go and get the ones below. Start with the (VERTICAL) skulls and start going around from bottom left of cake to the top and you will solve it! Jim /T7G-4 #33611 21-MAY-93 15:50 (Reply to #33270) From: Tia To: Michi Re: abc blocks (1 reply) OK - 1) You're trying to make a sentence. 3 words, horizontal. Which means you don't have to make it read words up and down. 2) The sentence in question is given in the hint book. 3) I found that if I left the first column alone, shifted the second once and the third twice, and then did the same again, the puzzle half-solved itself. Again and it got to the point that a little tweaking worked it out. /T7G-4 #33645 22-MAY-93 00:05 From: Newport To: ** ALL ** Re: dollhouse Isn't there a simple solution to the lights on the dollhouse. I can't find a pattern here, and there must be one. There is no way to go back to the library for a hint. /T7G-4 #33723 22-MAY-93 15:06 From: Roberth To: ** ALL ** Re: ? (1 reply) I seemed to have reached a dead end. I have solved the following puzzles, and can not find anymore: BISHOP, QUEEN, CAKE, TELESCOPE, BASEMENT CASKETS, CANS (with letter off kitchen), and one or two others. My point, when I check the map now, it shows the rooms I have completed, the rooms I don't have access to, and NO rooms I have to solve yet. I can't figure out where to go now. /T7G-4 #33759 22-MAY-93 20:57 (Reply to #33611, Reply to #33270) From: Quaker To: Tia Re: abc blocks Ya know, for the longest time I thought it was "GET BAD TOY"! /T7G-4 #33760 22-MAY-93 21:00 (Reply to #33723) From: Quaker To: Roberth Re: ?

I can't remember the exact way, but start on the right side of the dollhouse. (I think you start with the third or fourth from the right). /T7G-4 #33809 23-MAY-93 08:14 From: Skippert To: ** ALL ** Re: Cans In the kitchen (1 reply) I have solved all the puzzles before the Kitchen and many after. But I am not very good with text puzzles. I would like to go back to my saved game in the kitchen and go on with all solved puzzles. Could some one leave me the answer or at least a major clue so far I have SHY GYPSY SLYLY SPRYLY .....BY MY CRYPT ?? I'm not even sure I'm on the right trac. Thanx. /T7G-4 #33824 23-MAY-93 14:58 (Reply to #33809) From: Macthehac To: Skippert Re: Cans In the kitchen (1 reply) Try SHY GYPSY SLYLY SPRYLY TRYST BY MY CRYPT ! Greetings, Mac... End of list! Exiting to main SIG menu... #31546 SIG HEADER: /T7G-2 SIG-Op: Sysop Created 05-MAY-93 14:19 SIG Topic: General Discussions This SIG has been provided for the general discussion of The 7th Guest. Want to throw in your two cents? Feel free to offer suggestions, complaints, complements, and thoughts... The only thing I ask is that exact hint information is not listed on-line. We all hate the guy at the movies who is always telling his neighbor what is about to happen. Likewise, some of us may want to discover the answer on our own. So if you want to give an answer, go to the /T7G-4 SIG where the exact solutions may be posted. Michael Gater, Product Support Manager /T7G- Just wanted to point out the obvious. Without providing a game cheat, I would like to make everyone aware of the hint book located in the library. After you visit a puzzle, you may trek over to the library and examine the hint book. Since the hint book only addresses the last puzzle you attempted, you should go straight to the hint book without playing another puzzle if you seek help. After playing a puzzle and visiting the hint book three times (for each puzzle) you will find the puzzle has been solved for you and you may proceed as though you completed the puzzle yourself. The price you pay for this assistance is a drama sequence which can only be seen upon finishing the puzzle (without visiting the hint book for the fourth time). So, no solving, no drama. However, you can still finish the game without solving all of the puzzles on your own. That Microscope puzzle...what a doozie! Michael Gater, Product Support Manager /T7G-2 #31551 05-MAY-93 14:33 From: Sysop To: ** ALL ** Re: Warping to the staircase. Blackie, one of the members of our Technical Support Team has suggested using the Sphinx board to warp to the main entrance of the foyer. When you visit the Sphinx board, upon returning you will be placed at the beginning point of the current room. So, if you have just left the kitchen, rather than travelling around the staircase to the front door and then turning around, you could simply visit the sphinx board for a moment, then return to the game play. You will find yourself facing the staircase, as though you had travelled across the room. Thought this might help those who enjoy the gorgeous graphics, but get impatient. /T7G-2 #31655 06-MAY-93 05:30 (Reply to #31570) From: Sysop To: Andromida Re: Microscope Puzzle (4 replies) Please note that I am providing hint information and NOT an answer. The room which appears on the first floor map, detached from the rest of the house, is the Picture Gallery. You will need to find a supernatural means of getting there (and back -- no doors either way). My suggestion is to find a "supernatural" piece of art. Since Trilobyte packed the house with masterpieces left and right, I think it is fair to also point out that the art piece you seek will not be located on a wall. I have addressed the Microscope puzzle in private E-Mail to Andromida. Michael Gater, Product Support Manager /T7G-2 #31689 06-MAY-93 13:42 (Reply to #31658, Reply to #31549) From: Sysop To: Koynyok Re: The Hint Book You miss the piece of drama which follows directly after the solving of the puzzle. So if you use the hint book to get past a lot of the puzzles, you end up missing a lot of the game. On the plus side, I'm glad Trilobyte had the good sense to realize a person might have trouble solving each and every puzzle and provided a way out. So if you miss one or two dramas, you'll still have an idea of the story and can still enjoy the ending. Michael /T7G-2 #31818 08-MAY-93 05:47 From: Caramon To: Sysop Re: supernatural art (2 replies) I believe I am close to the end of this game, but I cannot find the way into the room detached from the building on the first floor. How about a hint on what floor this supernatural art is residing on? By the way that microscope game was the only puzzle I had to use the book to completely solve. Boy is that tough! /T7G-2 #31972 09-MAY-93 16:32 (Reply to #31941) From: Andromida To: Davy Re: Cans.... (4 replies) Get a clue and then grab your thesaurus! /T7G-2 #32104 10-MAY-93 21:38 (Reply to #31560) From: Sysop To: Profegg Re: Hint request for 7th Guest (1 reply) I might come from a different time, but it seems as though you are asking for the solution to the puzzle and not a hint or strategy. If you really need the solution, just ask me in E-Mail, but I was hoping that this area could be used to clue readers to avoid a lot of trips to the library. With that thought in mind, you should know that there are a number of possible combinations, and that the resulting board will have one queen on each row and one queen on each column. In my own experience, I found working from the inside out to be easier than working from the outside in. Also, alternating top to bottom or side to side can provide less opportunities for conflict near the center when placing queens across the board. Mike /T7G-2 #32105 10-MAY-93 21:46 (Reply to #31818) From: Sysop To: Caramon Re: supernatural art (1 reply) Don't you hate it when you want some information and someone laughs because you answered your own question without knowing it. What FLOOR is the supernatural art residing on which takes you to the detached room (Picture Gallery) you ask? I would say the first floor. The Microscope puzzle is in my opinion Graeme's indulgence. There is no winning pattern, and no way to pass it (aside from the hint book) without a LOT of thought. However, that's probably what makes it so challenging. I want to beat it. I will beat it. Of course I'm currently 0 for 23. And you just know some people are gonna have beginner's luck -- make some completely irrational move which turns the tide...I couldn't be happier for them... Mike /T7G-2 #32107 10-MAY-93 21:52 (Reply to #31972, Reply to #31941) From: Sysop To: Andromida Re: Cans.... I LOVE that hint! (Grab your thesaurus). For those who are put off by the second clue in the hint book, "Bashful nomad...", take Andromida's clue and try to rewrite the sentence with the letters which are available. The cans are grouped in sections which will represent words when you have swapped the cans appropriately. Well that sort of takes the romance out of it, but sometimes these subtle puzzles can go right over our heads. Everytime I read the final sentence I always wonder what the word values would be for Scrabble (tm)... Mike /T7G-2 #32108 10-MAY-93 21:55 (Reply to #32023) From: Sysop To: Weavers Re: Coins (1 reply) The cards and the coins: These puzzles are unique. The "hook" is flipping the object over in a linear sequence. That is, working from one object to another which is adjacent (or nearby) in a vertical or horizontal line. If you've ever done one of those "connect all of these dots without lifting your pencil" puzzles, then you know what I mean. (No diagonal lines allowed.) Mike /T7G-2 #32109 10-MAY-93 22:00 (Reply to #32071, Reply to #31546) From: Sysop To: Ostler Re: Solving the Crypt Maze (1 reply) I think I will remember The 7th Guest as the only game to provide the solution to its own maze. You will find a map of the maze elsewhere in the game. Hopefully you can load a previous game (before you entered the crypt) and find this map. Mike I will say however, that navigating the maze is a bit confusing, it is best to think in terms of right and left turns rather than the usual north, south, east, west terminology. Otherwise, you're liable to get disoriented. /T7G-2 #32325 12-MAY-93 19:27 (Reply to #32137) From: Waretek To: Hherman Re: with chapel puzzle (1 reply) For the chapel or the brick puzzle, count three bricks to find that the third step is a purple brick. The third step must always be purple. /T7G-2 #32402 13-MAY-93 09:40 (Reply to #31546) From: Lorraine To: Sysop Re: General Discussions Hello Michael. I would like to compliment you folks on this game. It's unbelievable. I ahve a little problem in that I've solved all the puzzles except that there seems to be a room on the first floor that I can't get to. I've searched the entire house for secret passages and whatnot, but haven't found a thing. I guess I should also tell you that I used the book in the library to solve the puzzle with the Bishops (in Mr. and Mrs. Knox's room). That was the only one that we couldn't figure out. Anyway, I hope this was the right place to leave this. Great game! I saw the Beta version of it and immediately called my stockbroker to buy stock, but you guys are not a public company (wink!) Boy, was I bummed! Thanks, Lorraine MacDonald /T7G-2 #32782 15-MAY-93 14:57 (Reply to #32701) From: Hherman To: Macndos Re: T7G Hint Book The "Hint Book" is a book lying on the table in the Library on the ground floor of the house. When you look at the book, it gives you a hint on the puzzle you last worked on. By the way, a fair number of rooms have alternate exits that return you straight to the library. Also, the book is on the coffee table, in front of the sofa. You will get the "puzzle" icon when you are near it. End of list! Exiting to main SIG menu...
