Escape from The Crimson Room!

150 comments

If you came to this article via pc widget or mac widget, you probably only saw the image on the left. While it is an awesome illusion, it has been covered on this site many times. In short, the room is constructed in special way, so that when you walk across it, it appears you are growing or shrinking. The reason I wrote this post isn't to remind you of that particular illusion (called Ames Room), but to share an awesome game I just played. I am aware it isn't an optical illusion in its nature, but I promise you that you'll like it. Not sure how many of you will manage to escape the crimson room below, but you'll have fun solving the mystery. If you don't see the game window below this text, you probably don't have flash installed. Please share hints and tips if absolutely necessary, but don't spoil the fun for others. Let's see how many of you will manage to complete the game. It's short, but hard! Also, if you like it, please submit this article to Digg, Stumbleupon or somewhere else :)

    The code didn't work for me until I found the game on another site and then it did, for some reason.

    Don't give up on the four digit number. I accidentally refreshed, had to start from scratch, and the number worked the second time around. Challenging, but not impossible. Click, click, click, and click again.

    wooo did it. if the 4 digit code doesn't work, restart the game and try again. it worked fine for me

    I got to the four digit code part and try as i might i could not get tyhe right one. even following the URL didn't give me the right code. neither did any of the ones posted on hint sites. I gave up knowing that had the game worked properly i could have completed it.

  26. Blogger Benjamin 

    Seems to be broken. The four digit code that is found doesn't work with the version of the game you have posted. I think the code is changed occasionally. Went to the original site and the code worked fine.

  27. Anonymous Anonymous 

    I finally did it. I had to cheat, but it was either that or get fired for goofing off too long. If the four digit code doesn't work, close your browser and start again. Their is a BIG glitch in the game, but restarting seems to help.

    haha suckers, i did it! I am the smartest person in the world. Muahahaha!!! All must kneel before me!!!

    a realy old game :o
    played it 3 years ago...

  35. Blogger Leamony 

    I beat this game years ago, back when it was still new. C: It was the first escape-the-room type game I played, and one of the best. The entire series is worth a try, and they all kind of lead into another with a not-so-satisfying ending.

    If you really liked this game, look for "point-and-click" games or "escape the room" games on the internet, it's a whole genre.
    I recommend MoTaS (Mystery of Time and Space) and My Diamond Baby. Both wonderful games of a similar type. C:

    Geeze that was hard... not much of a thinking game as much as it is a lucky click game... If you get lucky enough to click in the right spot, you will eventually get it.. Took me about 45 minutes, no cheats. Exiting is rather uneventfull to.

    ok i did it fine, but i played this 2 years ago at collage, there are lots of these around.

    BTW for the 4 digit code to work you will need to know where the person who sent this in got it from, it has different numbers relating to the site it was on.

    I take it that the image of the dancing man is pointing at something. I've assumed that it's the blank wall, since nothing has happened or been found there yet. But I've spent about an hour clicking on that wall now, and I've tried equivalent spots on the door and window just in case, and nothing's happened. Far as I can tell, the dancing man is the end of the game.

    This is not funny, after an hour I almost gave up and I finally found the rest of the things, but.....

Now I'm not gonna be a happy woman till I finally get this door open, or what ever.

    Don't listen to this last guy. He seems to be a bit too thick to know that the code changes every time. Um,
    that was incredibly easy. The only hard bit is clicking at the right spot for when you get the battery. Oh yeah-- I didn't cheat. But it was very fun!

    Well, that was kind of interesting. No cheating or walk-throughs. took about 10 minutes.
    I must say though that the code doens't work on this site. The URL on the memo is correct, and the code it gives simply doesn't work here. I restarted the game and everything, played the game in multiple different browsers, still to no avail!! I went to the original site (http://www.fasco-csc.com/index_e.php) and played from there and got out no problem!! By the way the CD case does nothing.. :) Have fun!!

    holy $h1T!!!!!! That took me a hour and a half not because Im stupid but because when I found the memo with the URL on it it wouldnt work, till I found it again in someones comment, which THANK YOU it worked but even still the 4 digit number wouldnt work I had to restart like 4 times that was a pain in the @$$ but now I have to og because I AM LATE FOR WOERK!!!!

    Crimson Room walkthrough. There's a ring in the bowl. There's a key under the pillow of the bed. Click on the bottom left hand corner of the bed and you'll look between the mattress and the headboard - that's where the metal piece is. Open the shade, you'll find a small key. Open and shut it a few more times and a small ring will fall out. In the two top drawers are a memorandum and cd case. Unlock the two bottom drawers and find a power cord and the box. Click under the dresser and you'll find the tape. Use the power cord on the radio and press the power button. Now the cd slot will be openable and you will find a third key in it. When looking at the blank red wall click near the bottom left corner and you will zoom near the side of the bed and see the battery. Now put all the parts on the box and open it. Put the battery and tape in the box. Click it and a tape will play on the wall. A guy dances for a bit and then you'll see a little crosshair appear where he's pointing. Put your mouse over the crosshair and when the tape ends click around it a bit. An outline appears in the wall, click it. The combo to the safe was originally on the URL of the memo, but that link is broken. The combo is 1994, plus you need to use the third key in the lock. Open the safe and you will find a screwdriver. Click a little above the door knob and it'll zoom in on the doorknob. Use the screwdriver on the door knob and it falls out. Click the hole. You win, congrats! -harley -SJ
