  6. Any help on the 'upper' puzzle on the back? ( the four circles?)

    ReplyDelete
  7. @Anonymous: the four circles are related to positions on the clock. They indicates which letters to choose.

    I need a hint about the bomb too.
    Pitch black so far. :(

  8. That was tricky. I had a little trouble with the final puzzle (the bomb), but I eventually figured it out. The thing about these dismantle games is that once you look at the puzzles the right way, they're generally pretty easy, but finding the right way to look at them can be tough.

  10. Here's a hint for the final puzzle: Try to connect the dots.

  11. Got it! I had already considered connecting the dots, but I wasn't doing it right! So... thank you Tom for confirming that it was the right way! :D

    @Nogi1020: Have you tried to click the top of the clock?

  28. Thanks, Tom. That was all the hint I needed. Love, love, love Katai Dismantlement Games!!! :D

    ReplyDelete
  29. I could not solve the last puzzle last night, even with Tom's clue and the walkthrough...I went to bed, and while I was asleep, I figured it out.

    Escape games are awesome!

  31. Just a heads-up that the second-to-last puzzle was changed at some point. This is the one with the dial that can be turned left or right.

    ReplyDelete
  32. for the puzzle with the little dial on the bottom of the back:

    turn in the directions shown, to hit the target areas in numerical order

    i hope that helps a bit ;D
