The Feeble Files Hints

Aaargh! How can I escape from this lab?

  • 1 of 19: How can I get rid of this rope?
  • 2 of 19: Maybe Sam can blast you out.
  • 3 of 19: After all, you do have his remote control.
  • 4 of 19: Use the remote and get Sam to the gates.
  • 5 of 19: Oh dear, the natives aren't as frightened as before, are they?
  • 6 of 19: Did you pay attention to what Filbert was saying about the natives?
  • 7 of 19: You need a Passive Control Compound to restore the natives back to their trembling selves.
  • 8 of 19: How do I make a Passive Control thingy?
  • 9 of 19: But you need to get it into their systems somehow.
  • 10 of 19: Perhaps their water supply?
  • 11 of 19: Put the compound into the water tank, under the water cover.
  • 12 of 19: Now the gates will be open.
  • 13 of 19: Hmm, those buttons to the left of the chemistry set look interesting...
  • 14 of 19: ...and they're marked 'Statue door' and 'Statue teleport' as well!
  • 15 of 19: Use the buttons to teleport Sam into the lab.
  • 16 of 19: Maybe you can call a cab to get you out of here.
  • 17 of 19: That directory on the table could be useful.
  • 18 of 19: If Filbert's phone number were listed, imagine how many calls he would get from people trying to sell him junk!
  • 19 of 19: After reading the directory, just use the phone to relist his number, and you will take Filbert prisoner.
