PLAYING INSIDE OUTING

You are a thief; a pretty good one by all repute. But you've got yourself

into a rather unusual sticky situation ...

You see, old man Crutcher, who lives in that large house on the hill,

passed away recently leaving his widow with her own rather unique

problem. He apparently never did trust banks or safety deposit boxes,

and due to his lack of faith in the more normal places to keep safe his

various possession, Mr Crutcher decided he would just hide them in what

he called 'safe' places around his house.

Trouble is, he never told his wife where he'd left them ... which left her in

turn with the unusual task of finding her own gems which he'd secreted

away. But she'd had a brain wave. Who better, she thought, to find gems

hidden around a house than a thief who makes his living being good at

just that ...

So Lady Crutcher, as she is known locally, lured you into her house by,

well, that old trick of leaving a window open and contriving to make the

house look empty. Damn it, she'd even left milk bottles on the doorstep

to make it look as if she was on holiday!

Anyway, once inside the mansion all windows and doors to the outside

world had suddenly shut very tight indeed ... and it was then that Lady C.

revealed her plan. Well, to humour her you decide to find her gems. After

all, to an expert like you this should be an easy task ... and after all she

might not miss the odd one or two ...



HINTS

Not all is as it seems in Inside Outing. If you look hard enough you will

find hidden passageways, hidden wall safes, and a multitude of puzzling

obstacles that will lead to your goal. There are only 12 gems to find, but

be warned - some are much easier than others! Find each gem in turn

and take it to Lady C. on the first floor (drop it in front of her and she'll

pick it up). There's an indicator of how many you've left to find positioned

on her sideboard in her bedroom. But look out for the savage mice and

canaries! Old man Crutcher did some rather bizarre experiments and

rumour has it that they are just a little larger and not quite so friendly as

your usual mice and domestic birds ... but you'll find a way to handle

them, won't you?

One last hint ... assume nothing!
