Zork: Grand Inquisitor Hints
How can I free Jack from his cell?
1 of 7: Have you examined the control panel outside your cell?
2 of 7: The mechanism looks pretty complicated, but you can figure it out.
3 of 7: If you watch the monitor long enough, you will eventually see Jack. (He's the one at the window in his door.)
4 of 7: So, that gives you the cell block number.
5 of 7: Then, you can use the blueprint to determine exactly which cell he is in. Save first, though, as this can be very difficult to determine.
6 of 7: If you are still having trouble, read the next hint for the solution.
7 of 7: Jack is in cell 31AB. Enter that cell number, then push the button. You and Jack will be able to escape.
