This Maze is really annoying!!!
I can do the beginning perfectly and then as soon that I come back from the basement and the alarm is on i’m stuck on the ground floor! No matter how hard I tried changing my routes I could never find a way! That really pissed me off! =D
That’s it, it’s done, I made it, finally!
Only one thing left to say now, Anastasia Griffith sure is a fine looking woman…
this game is amazing.
it takes some practise and re-tries, but it’s the best game of this type for sure.
After playing this for 10 minutes, I’ve lost my appetite.
I’m hungry for pepperoni pizza
episode 1.. how can i find where i am?
look in the bin at the letter
got stuck in episode 3, not being called by liz after the trial. googled for an answer, but did not find one. many people posted the same problem. (yes, i did call kenny)
solution: replayed the game with a different user name. second time i was called by liz. concluded that the game is not 100% fault proof unfortunately.
Still one of the best escape games i played though. liked it a lot. thanks BBC.
I had called Kenny earlier but I needed to do it over again (same story happened). Calling him again lead to Leon-info and Liz calling.
Stuck in the maze. I can get to another floor, and turn on/off doors and lights, but where do i get the dagger and how to get out?
Let the guards on first floor sleep by only opening doors there.
Before going into basement turn off main switch, hurry to the basement to get the dagger and get back to ground floor.
Then comes hard part, best trick I had was on first floor letting 3 guards come together (the fourth stays on bottom of floor, the other 3 all do a round on top of the floor) by closing the doors at the right time. When those 3 guards together go down, you use the left stair to go up, quickly run to the other stair on the left on first floor and get to ground floor. Then it’s only timing that can help you get to the door on the bottom. (Not all rooms on ground floor are walked by so you can hide in them half way to the door.)
I am at the interrogation part and i followed what Heather Lee and Khan said, but i come up to the point where he tells me I am under valued and all that crap. I then tell him i don’t have the blade and he kills me! What should i do?
you bluff on EVERYTHING except whenever they ask where the blade is and if your boss appreciates you. thats it
It was a bit harder then that on my turn.
You need to make sure you don’t get punched too much, because you’ll get some punching later on and you need to survive those. So tell the truth a bit in the beginning.
How much you can still take is indicated by the color of the timer-bar when you have truth-bluff.
Never tell them you have the blade now! The trial takes about 15 to 20 questions I guess…
In episode 3 I decoded the picture that Liz sent me when saying it was a fake, and she won’t call me. I tried calling her, but that doesn’t work. Any suggestions?
go into your email and i think the second email or the 3rd will give you and email address link and you click on that to send anothe email to leon i think his name is and then you should get the call
Again, to receive the mail about Leon, I had to call Kenny after the trial.
im stuck in ep2.how to go to church san clemente????????????????????????????????????? im stuck
I need help I can’t get the briefcase down and I’m stuck with the emails I can’t even see any of the clips please someone help me. I am close to never playing it again but everyone says it’s good but it’s just F***ING HARD for me please help!
Okay okay. I just got done with the part where you are Liz, driving around town, going to the churches.
I am Adam again. I got done with answering Liz and Anthony, and I couldn’t understand the telephone call when I called Ken.
I’M LOST! I’ve decoded the whatever needed to be decoded, and now I can’t figure anything out.
so after you get the decode paper, call liz to let her know
How did you manage to move liz arrount on the map. I led her to one church but nothing happened and the whole game got stuck, but I can still hear the background noise. How do I make er examine or what evere she was going to do inside the church?
HOW do you make it so that when you are running through the 1st floor (with the blade) without getting caught by one of the guards??
After opening the briefcase you will find card with a phone number. Use this phone number pal.
I think i have a problem! He says 2 nespapers articles but i got only one. What should i do? Please don’t say do everithing again.
What i have to do after getting the newspaper?
What i have to do after getting the newspaper?
Afer I open the briefcase i dont know what to do, i mean i tried to call Lizz but the number doesnt work anymore, and i have asnwered all the emails. Im kinda stuck
Can anyone help me? I dont know what else to do.
help , i can’t reach liz. Checking my emails doesnt work. The onely think i can do is call her but she out of reach
help! i can’t contact liz. I checked my mails and replied on all off them. i already found the churches and mailed anthony. What to do next
Sarah, even though it’s made by BBC ( God save the queen!) This is a crappy game. I’ve been playing escape games for quite a while now, and I would advise you to not play this.
how do you get past episode one???? I can’t figure this shit out.
Thanks,
Amber
When you get where the lights are how you do them right?
okay. First the STUPID inventory wouldn’t open, then the combination wouldn’t work, NOW HE WON’T WRITE DOWN LIZ’ NUMBER.
how do you get through the maze?
i dont get this frinkin game
stuck in the maze
got the blade, and i’m in the fusebox not in the main hall but the one above it
no idea how i’m supposed to make it past all the guards with the alarm going off
someone help me.. how can i get trough this maze game liz is not moving
OH MY GOD I have literally tried to get through the Housestead maze too many times to count. I am at my wits end. I have the briefcase and am in the upper left ground floor corner but CANNOT make it out of there alive. FOR GODS SAKE somebody help me or send me a username that’s already gone through the maze (I know that’s cheating but I hate this).
….sounds like you’ve gotten through episode 3…..

…can you help me?
When I get there I will try to help you if I can!
Pls help me! im stock.what is the password of housesteadshall!
Wish I cold help you…I don’t believe I’m there yet.
Could you look at my comment below? What I’m I missing?
ABRXAS its whats written on the real blade
its ABRAXAS
Okay, got through the interogation on episode 3….
responded to maggie’s email….
responded to Liz’s email….
Printed Liz’s attachment…
Emailed Leon….
Emailed Danny…
Printed out Danny’s attachment….
BUT STILL NO DARN CALL FROM LIZ!
WHAT AM I MISSING?
Oh! AND I tried calling both numbers on speed dial but that didn’t work.
u know the email from maggie click leon’s email adress and adam will send email to leon
it’s all about phone and laptop.
well, it’s obvious since you’re trapped in a room, and phone + laptop are your only way to reach the outside world.
er.. whenever it fully loads.. it just sits there..
Been trying to ring Liz for ages, I keep going back to check my email but the operator keeps telling me the number does not work. What am I missing here?
Try replying to people’s emails
getin maggies email and click leon email adress adam will send email to leon
I have made it to the interigation and keep getting killed!! What is the correct answering sequence to get through it?
answer truthfully to everything except when he asks you where the blade is
I did that and I still died….done this 5x and am very pissed
I think there is a glitch since his assistant shouts “shut up” on the same question whether you bluff or tell the truth
you have to lie when he says about not being appreciated by your boss too
anwser evry question true except the all blade questions and your boss not appreciating u bluff then
The farthest I’ve made it was talking to Liz and checking all emails. What do I do next?
I can’t seem to get Liz to Celestine, I have tried all the routes on the map, but I get close or in the area that she needs to be in and nothing happens. How can I get her to the dagger for Adam? Please Help!
What are you meant to do on episode one?! I really don’t get it nad what is the annoying beeping noise?
okay episod one your learning about Adam Foster (:
the beeping noise is the voice machine so go over to where the phone is and click it. you should have 4 new messages (:
in the questioning tell the truth all the time except from when he asks about the blade, that way, they know you’r telling the truth about everything else and just assume u really don’t know anything about the blade. if u do give them the blade, u die! lie about the blade, nothing else!
I’m on the questioning part and it is hard!
okay,when talking to the gaurds,here what to do(to save you time,it took me and my friend forever.she wrote it down as i did it though.)its in order,this is how you respond(you might want someone to read them to you while you play):
bluff,bluff,truth,bluff,bluff,truth,bluff,truth,truth,truth,bluff,bluff,bluff,bluff,truth,truth,truth,truth,bluff,bluff,bluff,truth,bluff,truth,truth,bluff,truth,truth,truth,truth,bluff,bluff,bluff,bluff,bluff,bluff.
————-
hope that helps!then you should appear back at your computer,so you can read your new message.=].
after getting the knife in the basement i cannot get back to the first floor without getting caught. you need to return to the first floor to go to the other staircase so you’re in the right section on the ground floor. i thought that the guards would be asleep if the lights stayed off but somehow they are not. and i can’t trap them in the rooms because then i can’t get out of the stairwell. somebody help please!
Keep switching the mains off, if you think about it logiclly that could be just an electrical fault so the gaurd just turns it back on make sure you press mains off okay anything else will get you caught.
i’m not able to stop automatically by the blue church. How do i get in?
i m in d 1st episode.. i dont knw wat 2 do wid d painting… is it necessary 2 translate it???
youdon’t translate. you have to go back to the computer and sedn a reply to your friend anthony. it should be on the last e-mail he send you. a short period befor you get the pic. adam say “oh i’ll e-mail him later”
How do I figure out how to get a hold of the ant?
On the map, what I did is go to the red churches first(going to the closest one to me each time). You’re doing that, correct? Because the blue church has to be gone to last, and in time. And by the way there’s little, small red squared crosses at the very edges of the screen that point the way to the churches. Just to anyone who may not know. I failed the first time out of confusion, so most of this game is a lot of trial and error type things. It’s rare to get any of this right on the first try.
Episode 1- Go to the tall cabinet thing with the several shelves. If you look up enough there’s a brief case, the object you need at the end of the first episode. Grab the rope you may or may not have inspected from earlier and click the left button(the normal clicking one, not the one that brings up menus). HOLD the left button and move your mouse upwards. That’s what they mean by dragging, to anyone who might be confused on that. Anyways, do this until the white arrow is in the middle of the brief case’s handle, but slightly above it too. Then let go. That’s what I did, and it worked. If you fail, just try again. I didn’t get it the first time either, but the second time.
Episode 2- Many have already explained this, like episode one, but here’s what you do. Be truthful except when they ask for the blade. The bar that slowly disappears every time you have to answer something tells you your health. You want this to be as high as possible, because nearing the end they won’t do anything BUT ask for the blade. In which case if you’ve been bluffing at certain places, and getting hit because you aggrivated Mr. Bulky Body Guard, you won’t survive bluffing at the end. So just tell the truth every time except with the blade. At the last second Liz saves you, unwittingly, by sending an e-mail informing you don’t have the real thing.
Episode 3- The password to get into the maze game with the mean bodyguards is ‘ABRAXUS’ I did it in all caps, but I don’t know if that actually matters. Look up ‘CDX game walkthrough’ and go through a couple sites. One of them has a good explanation of how to get through the maze. HOWEVER, I don’t know how you DON”T have the alarm triggered. For me, when the basement light and door is on, or when only the basement door is on, and then I turn off(or even left on once) the ground floor’s lighting long enough to get the dagger. Every time though, the alarm is triggered and I start back at the entrance because I died.
If anyone can explain how I DO NOT trigger this alarm, that’d be great.
pls help me im in the maze liz is not moving how can i get trough this situation
I keep getting stuck when liz is biking through Rome. I get to a church and then nothing happens. Is it a glitch? Is it my system? Am I just not doing it right?
well, we have tried numerous ‘fricken’ times to get ‘liz’ to visit all three churches:
( 1. san pietro, 2. san sabina, 3.san giovanni, barely made it ! )… never time though for ’san clemente’!!!..before the darn ‘fricken’ time ticks away!!!…are we just too stupid, or is there a way to speed it up, or even go around it…??!
how did most of you people gotten to the next episode, without growling over this particular scenery, we ask flabbergasted…!
PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, i cant get the briefcase down, it says click n drag but it not doing anything but moving his hand left and right!!! PLEASE help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMGOSH THAT’S IT!!! I’M COMING TO GET YU STAY PUT? AND THEN IT ENDS?? OMGOSH!!! ALL THAT FOR ONLY 4 EPISODES OF FUN OW WAS IT 6?

HI! I’M PLAYING CDX. I MA IN THE EPISODE 4.
HOW CAN I GET THROUGH THE MAZE , AND PAST THROUGH THE DOOR IN THE BASEMENT WITH THE ALARM.
I FROM PANAMA.
THANKS
THA SHITTEST GAME EVA. I AINT GOT NO PATIENCE AND DIS GAME JUS DID IT FO ME.
PEOPLE THINK IT’S ANNOYING WHEN YOU TALK IN ALL CAPS. So, be courteous, and don’t do it.
This game was awesome..one of the best point’n click adventure games i’ve ever played..but the interregation sucked! No matter what i sayed, i got killied…very frustrating!
Great game, but got stuck on the navigating game. System crashed. I don’t feel like doing everything again.
Fu#%^$%#ck!
can i hav the walkthrough for episode 2
HELP PLEASE! I’ve been stuck on episode 1 since the day i started!! Can someone please tell me the WHOLE walkthrough for it please!!?? It will mean alot and i’ll save me a lot of time!
Okay, I swear that this is my last reply to this game:
Episode 2:
Getting the flight case down: This is a classic flash arcade game. Click and drag the arrow up past the handle of the case. When you release the mouse button, he’ll throw.
Calling Liz: If it says her number is out of service, go check your email instead.
Finding the churches: San Pietro and San Clemente in the brown book. (Did not double check those names, but that’s close, I am sure)
Episode 3:
To get through the interrogation, tell the truth on every question except when he asks you if you have the dagger or where it is.
If you get stuck waiting for a phone call from Liz, try checking and replying to any email you haven’t done so far and try calling Kenny using the speed-dial button.
Episode 4:
You should have recieved the email that said you have the fake knife. Remember what that email said was on the real knife? ABRAXAS.
I failed to get through the Houstead Maze and it looks like it isn’t worth getting through anyway. I might go try it at some point.
For the interrogation part in chapter 3, bear in mind that these guys already know all of the little details, so there’s no point in lying about things like where you work or the names of people you know.
Just remember: protect the location of the blade.
Xineze: After you get the drawings from Tony, call Liz.
And the password for the prop inventory isn’t “rubucorn,” it’s “rubicon.”
you can get the information of the churches on te encyclomedia romana, serach on the index (click in the red rctangle on the right of the boock)fot tituli and then basilica churches click in santa sabina then go back and click in san pedro, after this he will say that is time to email tony, so go to te pc and answer him. I’m stuck on the episode 2=( any1 knows what 2 do aftr i get te drowings from tony?

Liz’s number in episode 2 is out of order. How do you reach her?
Done. Wow, what an absolutely cool game. Definitely the best I’ve played yet. Anyone know where I can play another similar game, or maybe a sequel?
Hi again…I have done that now but what i dont get is I am on to the part where you have to find the names of those two churches…what do i do?
Hi…I need help…how do you get the brief case down? anyone got a walk through, the game is so good so far im just not very good at games like this, thankyou.

Okay, I’ve got everything done in the house…to get the briefcase down, you have to be talking to some guy on the phone, and you use the rope…right now, which i don’t think anyone got this far, I’ve been kidnapped and I’m being questioned…what i need to know is: HOW DO I NOT GET KILLED?! no matter what i do…on this one question..i get killed..truth or blush.and it’s pissing me off! i really need help in figuring it out! HELP!
I pretty much looked through everything, I dont know what to do now, are you able to get the briefcase down?
What a great start..very long and tedious as it’s all live video which takes time to download…
Just click on everything, explore the emails on the computer…and it all opens out from there… The annoying bleeping is the answering machine…
