Maniac Mansion Hints
Where's the key to get in the dungeon?
1 of 21: It's in the den (the room with the radio and couch).
2 of 21: Have you looked closely at the chandelier?
3 of 21: Well you can't reach it. Nope, not even with the couch.
4 of 21: You'll have to break the chandelier...
5 of 21: ... without touching it.
6 of 21: What's a classic way of breaking glass without making any contact?
7 of 21: None of the kids can sing high enough to break glass.
8 of 21: You'll have to use a recording.
9 of 21: Have you been to Green Tentacle's room?
10 of 21: Have you checked out his music collection?
11 of 21: He has a record of Tentacle Mating Calls.
12 of 21: Now you just need to play it in the same room as the chandelier.
13 of 21: Have you opened everything in the den?
14 of 21: Great, there's a tape player in the cabinet, but you have a record.
