Hotel Dusk: Room 215 Hints

How do I use the computer?

  • 1 of 9: You'll have to turn it on first.
  • 2 of 9: Try typing something on it and pressing "Enter."
  • 3 of 9: You type letters, and it spits out other letters.  What could that be useful for?  (In the next clue, I'll tell you what the computer does.)
  • 4 of 9: The computer is used to encrypt and decrypt messages.  It scrambles messages so only certain people can unscramble the messages.  What could that be good for?
  • 5 of 9: There is a scrambled message in this room.
  • 6 of 9: When you try entering Robert's scrambled message into the computer, it just spits out more scrambled letters.  There's something else in the computer you'll have to use in order to decrypt the message.
  • 7 of 9: You'll have to change the number above the switch.  Can you figure out what number to set it to?
  • 8 of 9: The number is written down right next to the computer.
  • 9 of 9: The number is written in special ink next to the computer.  Set the computer to use that number and enter Robert's scrambled message to unscramble it.

    (Alternately, if you move quickly, you may be able to guess which number to use, or try every number by brute force.)
