Machinarium Hints
Okay, he's distracted -- now how can I get out of here?
1 of 12: This one's a little protracted.
2 of 12: See that key around his waist?
3 of 12: You can grab it while he's pulling pellets from the board.
4 of 12: And you can sneak up and unlock the cells using that little control panel near the stairs, if you're quick.
5 of 12: The left cell has those two weird other characters in it -- let them out.
6 of 12: They will ALMOST make it out through the door at the top of the stairs before the guard turns around and spots them, and chases them back into their cell.
7 of 12: Perhaps if we could make him have some trouble getting back to their cell?
8 of 12: Let's lay a trap for him.
9 of 12: He'd certainly slip on some of the pellets. Throw some on the floor in front of the control panel.
10 of 12: Now repeat the process, and when he goes to chase the prisoners back into their cell, he'll go flying and end up in the other room.
11 of 12: He'll run back, but the other prisoners will have already escaped, and he will follow them.
12 of 12: You should follow them out of the door at the top of the stairs.
