Solutions to various problems encountered in 'The 7th Guest' (Part 1) Neil B. Breeden II and George F. Gaut Jr June 25th, 1993 Provided by both Bev Truter and Phil Darke INTRODUCTION and NOTES: Well, I've just seen the ending sequence on CD #2. I solved all the puzzles except for the Microscope puzzle. I had to go to the Help Book three times to get past it. I have to say that this is one of the coolest game's I have EVEN seen. I really enjoyed the graphics, music (be sure to play the songs on CD 2 in your audio CD player, some great music!) and the puzzles. I enjoyed the ending though I thought it was a bit short. Be sure to read the credits at the end, if anyone gets through to the Best Girl I'd like to know how she was! See you at Stauf's house, Neil -------------- NOTE: Not all puzzles are solved in this text!!! If you can add any solutions I encourage you to do so.

After selecting a letter the next one selected MUST be connected to the last via a canal on the map of Mars. Click on the Letters starting with the T at the bottom to spell: THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY Spiders on the Star: OBJECTIVE: Cover all the purple circles around the edge of the star with spiders. NOTE: The puzzle is won when all but one circles have been covered with a spider. The spiders will move alone one of the lines from the starting circle to the ending circle. SOLUTION: P1 P6 P4 P3 P7 P8 P2 P5 Click on then Click to move to -------- --------------------- P1 P8 P2 P1 P3 P2 P4 P3 P5 P4 P6 P5 P7 P6 OR 1.) Click any purple circle to start. 2.) Click on either purple circle connected via the lines to the one from step 1 to have the spider move to there. 3.) Pick a purple circle so that after the spider moves he will be on the circle from step #1 above. 4.) Click on the circle from step #1 above to have the spider move to it. 5.) Pick a purple circle so that after the spider moves he will be on the circle from step #3 above. 4.) Click on the circle from step #3 above to have the spider move to it. Continue this way around the star, picking a spot so that the spider can move to the place you CREATED the last spider on. Skulls and Headstones in my cake: OBJECTIVE: All 6 guests need to receive an equal share of cake. The problem is that the pieces given to each guest must touch on a side. The final shape of the pieces for each guest doesn't matter. The S's represent sections with a SKULL, the H's sections with a Headstone. The section without an H or S are just icing. Solution: Click on all 5 pieces with the number 1. After they fly from the cake click on all 2s, then 3s, 4s, 5s and finally 6s. All 6 guests received 5 pieces total consisting of 2 skulls, 2 headstones and 1 icing. +----+----+----+----+----+----+ | S1 | H2 | H2 | S2 | H3 | S6 | Note: This is one of +----+----+----+----+----+----+ at least two | 1 | H1 | S1 | S2 | H3 | S6 | solutions! +----+----+----+----+----+----+ | 4 | H1 | H4 | 2 | S3 | 6 | +----+----+----+----+----+----+ | S4 | S4 | H4 | 3 | S3 | H6 | +----+----+----+----+----+----+ | H5 | H5 | S5 | 5 | S5 | H6 | +----+----+----+----+----+----+ @~More next issue - o -
