Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Persian Carpet

GinaBean wrote:I'm in Lindon Hall in the Lady's sitting room. There's a coded message for the jewelry box(?) by the mirror that I can't figure out, where to start? I can only use each number once, and it says that the light will turn from red to green when I'm right. Can't figure this one out for the life of me, and the Gameboomer's walkthrough doesn't have anything on it. Any hints anyone?

Gina, I got to the jewelry box # game and here is what I did.......

All 0's
Put in - 9182736450
Put in - 0283947561
Put in - 1384059572
as you can see, I screwed up on this line by using 5 twice (accident).
Put in - 2486070513

By using paper & pencil to keep track, you can guess what move #5 was and I opened the box.

What I do is start out with a random # combination. Then I hit the bottom (or top) arrows once on each number down the line. I skip the green light ones of course and hit the arrow on the number that ends up matching it twice. Repeat, repeat, etc.

Go back in and give it another try. There is a lot more to do past this point.

Oh wait, is that a double dare???

I gave up on this game. I un-installed it and re-installed at least four times, and still there is no sound, I can't get out of the cement factory. And the last time I tried it again, I couldn't even exit the game. I ended up having to turn off my PC. Something is bad wrong with the game.

It may be your computer doesn't work with this game. If I play Laura Jones, Cate West or Women's Murder Club on my PC with Vista, the games run slow and choppy. Not so on my laptop with XP.

I would contact BF Support and ask them.... or a computer person. This game runs fine on both my computers.

HighlandMax - the game worked fine on my computer until I installed the updated version. Now I also get stuck in the cement factory and have to ctrl/alt/del to get out of the game. I can't even do anything in the cement factory. Sounds like we are having the same problem. I've contacted tech support. They gave me some things to try but nothing worked. I'm waiting to hear back from them again. I feel your pain!

To HighlandMax again- I worked with tech support until we could do no more - could not get it to run on my computer. We gave up. Tech support thinks I need an updated driver, but the driver company will not let me download one, and my computer manufacturer (Dell) does not have the latest driver on their site, so I'm dead in the water on this game! Good luck to you.

Okay, I FINALLY played this game through to the end, and I just couldn't get through it without step-by-step help. ESPECIALLY at the end, I relied completely on GZ's walkthrough. Couldn't find most of the items, reminded me of Escape the Museum, I needed a magnifying glass most times, and even THAT wasn't much of a help. I couldn't see HALF of the items that I needed to find, and many of the "mini-puzzles" were WAY too difficult to figure out on my own, maybe chalk that up to being blonde, who knows. Wish I hadn't spent my money on this one, it was WAY over my head.

So maybe it was okay that I couldn't get it to work and got a game credit that I can spend on a new game!

I am stuck in the ladies sitting room. i have done the pearl puzzle and taken the letter and looked at the photo album - I have the scissors but every time I pick the scissors up to cut picture out they disappear when I click on album.

Can anyone help me please????

I have really worked through this game....now I am at the end of the clue match
up to detect the criminal...I am stuck at 34/35. Anyone know if I need to process this one differently or what ??? Thanks anyone.

can anybody help on the grid every time i go to a walkthrough for this game my numbers are never there.

Frustrating beyond belief! And the poor grammar, punctuation and misspelling makes it even more so. I loved 221 B Baker Street and Sherlock Holmes. But this is not in keeping with my fond memories of either. WHO is writing these games today that they don't have basic writing skills? A total waste of both time and money.
