You are a 9 year old kid out exploring on Halloween Eve. Solve a mystery!

This game was originally created in 2 weeks and entered into the Adventuron Halloween Jam in 2019.

It was built using Adventuron Classroom.

It was modified in 2022, using images created on DALL-E. 


I built a Scratch hint guide here

Cool! Maybe crop photos to hide the DALL-E logo in the bottom left?

I'm  stuck.    Can't figure out how to get the light on.  none of the expected verbs work on it: flick ,push, turn, pull, use etc.. 

Yeah, there's a few places the text could possibly telegraph what the player needs to do a little more.  "push bench" could be telegraphed by having "climb bench" fail with "the bench isn't in the right place.." .

thanks for the feedback. I tried telegraphing (I like that term) information about what happens in that space in other ways, but I think that’s a good one. I typically put a lot of verbs in my match because I don’t like to hang a player up if they know what needs to be done. Turn should work. Let me go back and look to verify. 

ah yes, turn worked.  Wasn't expecting that as a verb since you normally turn light "on" and we don't have switches that turn here, haha!  I feel dumb now.. :D

you know, it hadn't occurred to me at the time because I was working so intensely through the logic of getting the light on and all the aspects of it. But yes turn light is very unsatisfying.  I think I'll work more details so that I can have a better light command.

stuck atm :(

I wasn’t able to have many other people test it, so I don’t have a good sense of how difficult it is to others. I do have a several puzzles.  Have you found a bell? 

have a bell. light is on. rang it in places but stuck after all of that.

thanks for playing and the feedback btw. Rang in places — More than 2? 

ah - got it. finished. "You have won the game". Nice!
