The 11th Hour: The sequel to the 7th Guest and the 7th Guest are Trademarks
of Virgin Interactive Entertainment, Inc. and Trilobyte, Inc.
Game Facts:
Few people know that you can move from room to room in the 11th hour by
clicking on available rooms from your Map in the Game Book. This saves
time traveling around the house. You can also use your right mouse
button to eliminate transitions (i.e. moving from one spot to another).
Once you finish the game you will be awarded with an "Open House" file
which will allow you access to all rooms, puzzles, videos etc. the next
time you start the game (same as with the 7th Guest).
I suggest you save your game often to avoid frustration. I also suggest
reading the game manual.
Walkthrough:
At the start of the game your cursor will be blinking. This indicates
that you should look at your Game Book. Do this by clicking at the top
of the screen. Your Goal is to try to save Robin (your female companion)
and, if possible, to destroy the evil house. In order to do this you
must solve puzzles and find the solutions to many riddles. Puzzles are
3D games which you can virtually manipulate. Riddles are given to you
to solve by Stauf through your Game Book.
- Open your Game Book. Your first riddle is "Winter coat worn for a mixer."
To solve this riddle, go to the Library and click on the bottle of tonic
water which is on top of the fireplace. You will get to watch a video clip.
- Your next riddle is "Rolling rock, bottle cap." You must solve a puzzle
before you can solve this riddle. Go to Brian Dutton's room (see your map)
and click on the Cash Register Puzzle at the back, right side of the room.
The object of the puzzle is to make both sides of the display equal one
another. Since you start with 162, both sides must equal 81. To solve
the puzzle do the following: In the top row, depress the number 25, and
the last three keys (5,10,10). In the bottom row depress the last four
keys (10,10,1,10). In this room you will notice a champagne bottle on
the floor close to the TV - click on it. Now click on the cork to solve
the riddle (Video Clip).
- Your next riddle is "Artsy, excited, lecher." Your must first solve a
Chess Puzzle before you can solve this riddle. The chess puzzle is in the
main foyer on a table near the grandfather clock. Click on the puzzle.
To solve it, switch the positions of the white and black knights.
To solve the riddle you must go to the Art Gallery. To get there you must
click on the middle of the grandfather clock. You travel through a secret
passage into the gallery (Stauf will say "Ohh bad move). Click on the
painting above the statue on the floor (directly in front of you). To solve
the riddle click directly on the Man-Beast thing in the center of the
painting. (Video Clip).
- Your next riddle is "A heart attack could put you in the ground." You
must solve a puzzle before you can solve this riddle. Go to the Library.
You will see a series of books on a shelf between two skulls. Click on
these books. The object of the Book Puzzle is to put all of the green
books on the left and all of the red books on the right. Two books are
moved at a time.
There are ten spaces between the skulls and only eight books. In my
solution I tell you to count books. Count only the books and imagine that
the two free spaces don't exist. Count from left to right. Use these four
moves to solve the puzzle:
Move the 2nd and 3rd books. Next move the 3rd and 4th books. Next move
the 6th and 7th books and finally the 1st and 2nd books. You will notice
a Globe of the earth in this room. click on it to solve the riddle. (Video
Clip).
- Your next riddle is "Battleground." Go to Brian Dutton's room and go
through the door on the right side of the bed. This is the passage into
the Chapel. Go through the wooden door into the Lab. You must solve
another puzzle before you can solve the riddle. The puzzle is on the
counter beside a large green bottle. You play this Mouse Trap Puzzle
against Stauf! The object of the puzzle is to create a path for the mouse
to travel into the orange door (the one on the right of your screen).
Playing a maze piece causes the other pieces in the row to slide over or
in a column to slide up and down. This puzzle is tough and there is no
absolute solution (sorry). Once you solve the puzzle, you can then solve
the riddle by clicking on the RX pill box which is on the counter in front
of the green bottle. (Video Clip).
- Your next riddle is "Bars deter cuckoo bird." Click on the picture of
birds opposite the grandfather clock in the main foyer. Now click on the
Robin. (Video Clip)
- Your next riddle is "Modern art flourishes under the sun." Go through the
clock into the gallery. There is a picture on the wall of a young girl in
a blue dress. There is a picture of modern art on the floor under this
painting. Click on this modern art. It is another puzzle you play
against Stauf. The object is to choose the last possible spot. It may
take a few attempts to get the hang of this one. You get a video clip
after you solve it.
- Your next riddle is "Skedaddled." Go to the Library and click on the
desk to solve this riddle.
- Your next riddle is "Part of the body examined in doctors office." Go
to the art gallery and click on the torso of the white statue on the floor
to solve this riddle. (Video Clip).

Dutton's room and clicking on the bottle of champagne on the floor (the
same one as before).

before you can solve this riddle. Go to the games room and click on the
white Pool Balls. There are nine balls. Choose them in this order:

2 1
3
To solve the riddle, click on the picture of dogs in this room and then on
the Irish Setter. (Video Clip).

foyer and click on the FACE of the grandfather clock. (Video Clip).
- Your next riddle is "ZV GOTDY OD MPY..." You must solve a puzzle before
you can solve this riddle. Go to the bathroom upstairs and click on the
Spider Puzzle which is on the floor at the end of the bathtub.
Think of this puzzle as points on a compass where N=north, E=east, S=south,
W=west etc. Do the following moves in order:
NE to S
SE to W
W to NE
SW to N
N to SE
SE to W
NW to E
E to SW
SW to N
N to SE
S to NW
NW to E

- Your next riddle is "Fruit Loop on Stove." Go to the dinning room and
click on the picture of fruit. Now click on the orange to solve the
riddle.
- Your next riddle is "Dreams abound of arming the rebels..." You must
solve a puzzle before you can solve this riddle. Go to Ed Knox bedroom.
Click on the full length mirror next to the door. This Mirror Puzzle is
simply a sliding tile game. You must rearrange the tiles to form a
consistent picture. If you click at the bottom of your screen to restart
the puzzle, you will see what the end result should look like. Once you
solve this puzzle, click on the picture above the fireplace in this room
to solve the riddle. (Video Clip).
- Your next riddle can be solved by going to the Library and clicking on
the picture near the telescope. (Video Clip).
- Next, go to the Chapel and click on the concrete slab with the picture
of a triangle in the middle next to the wooden door. The object of the
puzzle is to create an unbroken path of your color (red) which touches all
three sides of the triangle. You play this one against Stauf. Although
there is no absolute solution, this one is fairly simple to win. I suggest
you start in the middle of the second to bottom row and work to the sides
and down one. You get a video clip after you solve it.
- Your next riddle is "Put an olive in a stein..." Go to Brian Dutton's
room and click on the TV to solve this riddle. (Video Clip).

train set on the floor. Click on the Train Puzzle. To solve the puzzle
you must spell the word STAUF. Use the switcher to move the train between
the tracks. This one is fairly easy although it may take a long time.

this room. Click on the table. Now click on the white rook to solve the
riddle.

the puzzle I suggest you do the following. Draw a rough picture of the
star on a piece of paper and then number all of the positions of the
plates from 1 to 10 starting at the top and working clockwise (to the
right). Now move your plate in the following manner:
Move the plate at position 6 to position 9
Move the plate at position 4 to position 1
Move the plate at position 2 to position 7
Move the plate at position 8 to position 5
Move the plate at position 10 to position 3

library and click on the desk. Now click on the pen and ink holder to
solve the riddle.
Go to the doll room and then through the floor boards again. Now click on
the toy doll house on the floor. This is the final puzzle of the game and,
of course, you play against Stauf. To win you must get five of your
"stones" in a row (any direction) or capture five pairs of Stauf's
stones. To improve your odds, I suggest you leave a space between your
first few stones. I also find it easier to capture Stauf's stones than
to form a line of five.
Once you solve this puzzle, you will be faced with an 11th hour decision.
Only one of the choices is truly correct.
