Journey to the Center of the Earth Hints

How can I get out of jail?

  • 1 of 14: There's a strange basket hanging from the ceiling in your room.  This will be your means of escape.
  • 2 of 14: Before you can work with the basket, though, you must have talked to Peter in the adjoining room.
  • 3 of 14: Climbing up a rope to the ceiling is not an option ... yet.
  • 4 of 14: You'll need an escape hatch.
  • 5 of 14: Blow a hole in the ceiling and then climb through!
  • 6 of 14: You have explosive material in your inventory already.
  • 7 of 14: To use the dynamite, it must have a fuse.
  • 8 of 14: Then of course, it must be lit.
  • 9 of 14: Combine the fuse with the dynamite.  Put them in the basket.  Then turn on your lighter and click it on the dynamite (in inventory).  Voila!
  • 10 of 14: Oh-oh ... the rope isn't tied to the ceiling anymore!  Now how can you get out?
  • 11 of 14: What a mess.  Look in the debris on the floor.
  • 12 of 14: Pick up the iron bar and walk down one screen until you can see the hole you made in the ceiling.
  • 13 of 14: By combining some inventory objects, you can design a makeshift grappling hook.
  • 14 of 14: Combine the iron bar with your rope.  Click them together on the ceiling hole.
