Use Number pad from the Inventory on the socket above the door knob.

Am I missing something with this game? I played the 1hr demo and really enjoyed it so I purchased it and after playing for another 20 minutes or so, it was the end of the game. I am SOOOOOO sick of that happening. The ending really didn't make sense either.

I was happy with game play etc, but totally unhappy with the length of the game.

HI EVERYONE, JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT SPECIALBIT STUDIO, THE DEVELOPER OF HH, CAME THROUGH FOR ME AND I CAN NOW ACCESS THE GAME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH INDEED FOR THE ASSISTANCE IN SOLVING MY PROBLEM.

KUDOS PCKILLER.

Well, I downloaded the demo, played it and went ahead and bought the game. So far, no problems for me. I have not finished it yet. I am just taking a breather.
I like the story as it is not too long. It appears to follow a path so to speak. The clarity of the objects and the scenes are great. I liked the variety of mini puzzles along with the skip button if you do not want to play a certain game. The only part of the music that I did not like was in the garage. Just something about it, so I turned my speakers down.
Kudo's to PCKILLER and the rest of the staff at his company for a great game.
Once all of the "bugs" are worked out (the ones that the other fishies were experiencing), I am sure you will all enjoy the game. It is not timed which is a definate
plus for me.

HELP ... I GOT :

Error Access Violation at 0x004D7864 (tried to read from 0x68746188) program terminated.

Anyone else having this problem?


PS Have never had an Access Violation before on any game.

I had a problem also, in the demo, right after finishing the first scene. Didn't catch the error code. Maybe I'll wait a few days then re-down load it, or maybe something else will come out to play.

I loved the game, but it is way to short, I didn't get my moneys worth. Will Big Fish give me my game credit back? I am very disappointed. I have been waiting for a good HO game, and I thought I had found it. Bummer

I'm very disappointed in this game... I was done in a little over an hour. And no, I'm not very good at these games. I normally have a hard time finding the objects. The puzzles were almost too easy and the objects I had to find were 80% identical in each and every room. I have learned my lesson and will play the demos before spending money on games...

I, too, had the error message(0x00401AD0 thingie). I got it at the start, then restarted the game and got it a bit later.
Love the game! I'm so glad that I haven't run into any 'powerups' like in HH1 where I had to quickly click on flying light orbs. That drove me batty!
Not sure if I want to buy the game or not. There are so many to choose from now!

Went back to play after a break and got the black screen when I pressed play, so came out and went back in waited for it to fully load, and it was ok.....so I think I pressed play before it was fully loaded.

Very disappointed as well. Took only 20 minutes after the one hour demo - not worth the money.

Alright everyone
I see that some people don't like that the game is short. But one of the reason because of game's flow. You are going directly from one location to another,play the key scenes and puzzles. Thats make our game looks like X-Files series (you don't see how Mulder and Scully travel somewhere - you just see the locations with text like "Chicago Hospital 8.01 p.m." ) and you feel yourself inside it.Your mind is inside and you like "looking at the agent from the side". We could implement a lot of repeats where you could search items over and over in the same rooms and this could take 3,4,5,6 hours whatever. But you can loose the atmosphere, the rhythm and the flow of the game and will be another HOG with pure HO gameplay (doesn't matter what is on screen-we want just to search for the items). Here we tried to give you different,new experience. Yes,maybe its not perfect but we did our best (especially for time when it was planned) and will do in future. Sorry everyone who disappointed about the length - I hope you liked to play it at least.
WARNING SPOILER!!!!!!!!
A lot of questions remain after finishing the game: How detective had come to our time? What priest was doing in the hotel if he is not guilty? Who else is involved? Musician, Clairvoyant, Professor?
All these questions, and finishing the whole case with this hotel you’ll find in Haunted Hotel 3. Agent, Detective and Priest will go back to the hotel and try to stop this. That’s why some questions in the current game left unanswered, like about Musician, Security manager. We’ll see them in action in the next game. Here we are preparing players for the great ending of a trilogy

I just wanted to add that it is nothing against the developers except that the game was too short. I really feel like I wasted my game credit. I understand what you've said about repeating rooms etc, but i just don't feel like I've gotten my money's worth witht his game.
The graffics, etc are wonderful though.

The only major change with my computer is that I switched to Firefox after the IE debacle. Ever since, it takes forever to download games. I can't say for sure that's the connection, but the two things do coincide.

Sometimes a spyware or adware infection will slow down your connection. Even though you aren't directly using IE, explorer still runs a lot of pieces of your computer (including your desktop).

Generally speaking, it's good to run a Spyware/Adware remover tool on your computer from time to time. BFG GAMES ARE CERTIFIED ADWARE FREE, but that doesn't mean that something else you or a family member downloaded is causing problems.

Also, our first game was a huge hit, and I expect this one to be an even bigger one.

There are separate volume controls for the music and ambient noises in the Options panel. Personally, I keep the music really low (the music also controls the sound of the movies) and the Ambient noises slightly higher.

Speaking as a developer working closely with BFG, these guys are really great. I think one of the requirements for working at BFG must be that you are a good person!

We received a TON of feedback from the first game and took it to heart when crafting the second game.

As I an the only native English speaking person on the team, there were a TON of these sort of...off-names... for items. I remember before we put the game through Quality Assurance that we had things like 'Skittle'. I spent 5 minutes looking for it until I searched the web for a picture of a skittle (which I though was candy) and discovered that's what you call a Bowling pin.

Not very impressed with Haunted Hotel 2....game was short...puzzles were too easy and it basically just ended...not one of my favorites.

I like the fact that I don't have to actually walk from one room in the hotel to another. I find that boring.

It would be nice if we could click through the cut scenes - particularly the very long one at the end of the game. For those who are not interested in the story itself, it's annoying to have to wait several minutes before we even get the option to return to the main menu.

I would really really appreciate an option on the main menu to replay each of my minigames without having to redo the entire game. This will please those who love the minigames. It would also be nice if there's an option to return to each room, and be asked to find ALL the items possible in that room. This would please those who just want hidden objects. Either or both of these would increase the feeling that I got my money's worth. The way the game is currently, it feels a bit too short, even with me taking my time. I can see myself replaying just the minigames for several hours, but I'm not sure if I'll try to replay the entire game without waiting a week or so.
