Gilbert Goodmate and the Mushroom of Phungoria Hints

How can I get the elevator to work?

  • 1 of 12: Since the elevator is down on the ground and since the machinery that normally brings the elevator up doesn't work when there's no wind, Gilbert has to raise the elevator by hand.
  • 2 of 12: Try turning machinery like that manually -- it's impossible!
  • 3 of 12: You need something to operate the device.
  • 4 of 12: What can you use?  Look around the area!
  • 5 of 12: There's an old washing machine located in the garden at the back of the house.
  • 6 of 12: Grandpa's long underwear is draped over it.
  • 7 of 12: If you pick up the underwear, something is revealed.
  • 8 of 12: Pick up the washing machine crank.
  • 9 of 12: Use the crank with the crankcase to get the elevator up.
  • 10 of 12: No good!  The crank breaks.
  • 11 of 12: Gilbert can now use the (repaired) broken crank on the crankcase to raise the elevator up to house level.
  • 12 of 12: Finally, simply operate the elevator lever.  Going DOWN ... have a nice tttttrrrrriiiiippppp!!!!!
