password for safe

the password for the safe is 5045. It's the # you find when you look over the kitchen.

Sable and Shuck website

I punched in the longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates that I found on the sable and shuck website on google and came up with this forum, don't know if it will be helpful to any of you, but check it out.

Game Over

Very interesting discussion about The Hiding Room, Sable and Shuck, etc. can be found at this link. Pardon, but I don't know how to post the link without directly pasting it here. TY

Link removed

After reading the first and last two posts on the site link above, it can be reasonably concluded that the Hiding Room game is over. Further, reading on this site indicates that the Hiding Room falls in the category of an ARG (something with which I was unfamiliar). But, it's all about advertising.

The reason for the conclusion that the game is over is BECAUSE some of the links needed to get further along in the game have bad links now. This was, of course, an advertising ploy from 2004 (two years ago). So, the trident air, the omni publications, and the inferno cargo sites no longer exist and the ability to go to the necessary places for more clues no longer exist either.

So, if you are looking for the man in black, the devil is in the details! That's where you lose him today.

It might be worth a trip to the link above though if you liked the intrigue of this ARG. There are some new ones that have just started and that will be starting shortly. And there are monetary rewards. One that is sure to end in the near future is giving away $100,000 probably any day now for the top scorer.

Fyi

Correction Correction

On the bookcase:::
The third book is on the same shelf as the second book but to the right. Click in the space.

To get into the safe:::

First put 5045
Then the safe will open
Click on the book toward the right

Then put
NAME: jon harker
EMAIL: jonharker@hewalksamongus.com
PASSWORD: ibidem

The interesting clue about Dennis see 5/10 and 5/22.

Tons of Clues

The tips here about getting to the safe behind the bookcase are fairly reliable...I've done it twice.
Click on the first shelf where you see the gap between books, you should see the second portion of the ticket stub. (the first is under the apple on the desk by the computer). Then, click on the second shelf...again where you see the gap between the books. You cannot read the page. THEN, click on the third shelf over toward the right, I think it appears to be a smaller gap there as well. You also cannot read the page, except at the very bottom you will see the word, very faintly written...it is Lucifer. WAIT.....do nothing....the book at the far left will drop down and then the bookcase will move. You will see the safe.

At the safe:

put the following:
5045
fidelio
jonharker@hewalksamongus.com
ibidem

Then the safe will open.

Once the safe opens, click on the book-like object on the right. This is the DIARY.

This is as far as I have gotten with the clues in the safe. I have been READING this diary for 2 hours. There are a ton of links in there.

Links will lead you to, among the many suggestions so far, hornchurch star, stella antonio, institute of contemporary arts, sable and shuck. The links to inferno cargo and trident air do not work.

From the many clues that you will need to weed through from April 2004 to October 2004, it seems that Dennis might be a lottery winner..but in his picture on the phone he has one eye showing and something like a snake in the middle. See clues for 5/22 and another about the archeological discovery of the face mask (cannot remember the date). Other references that come up often are: The book of star; the wicker man; star wars; and Churchill's black dog. Other links that do not work are: TRON man and mini robot.

Hope this helps.

I have not looked at the hornchurch, stella, or sable sites yet. The warnings are so ominous. It's enough just getting through the diary. But, this appears to be a very dark tale!

Anybody here...? What is mobilephone's PIN code?

lamp secret

did anyone see already that the lamp next to the computer seems to have a secret message when you click it?

does somebody now already the password for the complete contract on the sable+shuck site?

great game

Safe

Some guy who made this game is sitting in his empty studio apartment right now laughing his ass off at the thought of all of us trying to solve this game!!!

I'm kidding...anyway...I followed instructions in post #33 to get to the safe and it worked for me....now I don't have the password for it I tried all the passwords people have left here and nothing works HELP!!!!

Crossword and Goethe

So I too am jammed up on the flippin' bookcase. I've read 3 reviews on how to get in and still can't get it to happen. This bites.

2 questions outside of that though. Did anyone ever complete the Crossword in the Hornchuch Star? I was thinking of doing this to see if it gave any more clues.

Secondly, did anyone read any Johann Von Goethe? There was something in the Horoscope section of the Star that said you would end up reading this guy.

Also does "Protocol" which appears on Dennis Horen's Hat in his Lottery picture have any tie in that you've found?

God help me I will get to the damn safe one day and actually be able to participate again.
