 		Brown Dyed Hotel
puzzles and such
i was over at JiG a bit ago, and they had a link to this little game. figured it was something that people here might enjoy, so I did a quick search, didn't see anything regarding it, and figured, hey, why not!

a definite time waster.

 		I'm at a loss at 12 too. It seems like there should be more after this, but I have no idea.

Dot 1:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Goes to a jigsaw puzzle. I put it together easily, but it doesn't do anything upon completion


Dot 2:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Goes to a picture of a dark room. The upper left portion has an address of ILOVELAMP.html. If you go to that url, you get a rapidly flipping notebook. One of the pages has some wingdings on it that I don't have time to figure out right now. Another page has "We're working on something bigger" on it.


Dot 3:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The actual dot has some tiny text on it. If you right click the flash movie and zoom in repeatedly you can read it. I did a google search for the text and came up with nothing. Then if you click that button, it takes you to a lens looking picture, which I assume is just to try to get you to zoom in on the previously mentioned text.


Nothing really helpful, but thats all I have right now Smile

Not sure if I finished it, or not.
I don't think I did, but all I see are dead-ends.

If you're talking about bigblacklake, the thing to do is consider "opposite" alternatives.

If you mean the one after bigblacklake:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Drag the triangle in the lower right corner up and to the left.

 		I remember playing this what seems liek a year ago from a link on JIG or escapegames24. What I didn't know is that the developers went and made some interesting puzzle game using half life's Source engine. I might have to try this one out.

 		machine -

weird loopy video at top left, "work" at middle of page-ish.

mouse over or click "work" and see

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
ether might actually work


appear.

the key is that the solve is kind of

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"out in the ether" there is a text box on the page, to the right of the looping video clip... click till you find it, and type in "ether"... but type swiftly, as the text box resets when the video competes a loop.


that took me forever.

 		If you're asking about the wingdings, it's either:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
6 SiO2 + 6H2O + gravitons -> 6 SiO
+ 12H + 6 O

OR
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
6 SiO2 + 6H2O + gravit
pnw -> 6 SiO
+ 12H + 6 O

(pnw is MUD upsidedown)


Some kind of chemical formula.

I'm totally lost at this point.
