Use your point-and-clicking skills to locate items, and use those items to help you make your escape. Simple and fun, just right for everyone.
With easy escape games like this, I like to find the Phi for the game. The Phi of an escape game is the smallest number of items you ever have to have in your inventory while solving it. (I only assigned a random Greek letter to it so it'd sound professional.)
The Phi of TGKE was 1 (items placed in the Construct screen don't count). The Phi of TGLRE was 3 (hint: start with the mask). The Phi of TGBE was 2. The Phi of this game is 3 (all the nails are counted as one item, because they only take up one inventory slot).
great game :)

OK, maybe I am just dumb but I got thru the whole thing without the walkthru then couldn't get out. What do you do with the
mouse
and what is the story about the
whole chain and gears assembly in the wall?
My gut tells me that somehow I am supposed to be able to
get the mouse to chase the carrot (chili pepper?) but I can't seem to find where/how to connect the mouse to the rope.
I just wanted to note that it wasn't very clear what the rack was in the previous walk through. i referred to it later in the game so there were steps I missed, thus when looking back I didn't see the racks or the chain step until later when I went back. It caused a lot of confusion.
Here's a revised version of the walkthrough. This is recommended for people who are only referring to help themselves.
