Find the Escape-Men 53 in the Service Area
There's nothing like a really long car ride with the throb of a well-tuned engine... the thrum of tires against asphalt... the hum of the climate controls... the rattling of one of the fan vents... the numbness in your left leg... the whining of your passengers... the crackle of the radio as you JUST TRY TO FIND A DECENT STATION IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE... uh, eventually, in any long-distance ride, a person needs to just pull over and stretch their legs, hit the restroom, and maybe find something to eat. Not a problem in more populated areas, but if you are in the vast stretches between towns sooner or later you might want to brave the nearest rest stop, also known in other parts as the service area, home to squabbling families, long-haul truckers, interstate serial killers, and apparently escape men. No1game is back with the road trip that refuses to die in Find the Escape-Men 53 in the Service Area, yet another road trip themed escape. Are we there yet?!?!
The inevitable sequel to Part 51 (Traffic) and Part 52 (Gas Station) sees the long-suffering traveler attempting to catch a break at a fairly decent looking Service Area, one that is home to restrooms, restaurants, a gift shop, and the inevitable green escape men. Why these little international symbols of an exit want to keep hiding in the scenery is a mystery that is once again explored in point-and-click format. The problem, you see, is that although it's nice to get out of the car and move around a bit, you won't be able to get back on the road until you find ten of the little slackers and make them get back to their jobs. No1game serves up an amusing little mini-escape with a couple of puzzles, some combining of found items, and a lot of annoying the folks around you. Find the Escape-Men 53 in the Service Area reminds us that in the vast excursion that is life it is not the destination but the journey that is important. And, you know, the escaping.

Don't hold back, be as annoying as possible to your fellow customers.
Good luck!
Exploration
Enjoy the opening road sequence in which you realize you need a bathroom and food, in that order.
The game begins outside the service area. There are doors in front of you, and areas to the right and left of the building.
Click on the right side of the building. Congratulations, you've found the smoking area.
There's an escape man here, but he's enjoying a cigarette, so you can't take him yet. Back up.
Click on the left side of the building.
Congratulations, you've found the restrooms. Note that the men's room sign is blue and the ladie's room sign is yellow.
You can't enter the ladie's room, so click on the open men's room doorway to enter.
There are two stalls here, one is a regular stall, one is a broom cupboard.
You can click on the left stall, but it is occupied.
Note the sign on the right stall, a square, blue sign with a broom on it. Click on the door to open it.
Inside you will find a broom, a hose, and a bucket of water. Back up twice.
Time to go into the main service area. Click on the double doors to enter.
You are now in the main service area. There are food and drink counters in front of you. There are tables and a guy reading a newspaper just to the right of the counters. There is a ticket machine to the left. You can also go left and right from here.
Go right.
You are now facing the gift shop. There is a blue sign here with a Yen symbol on it, an upside down pentagon shape. There are stacks of books or something to the left of the counter, which is unmanned. Go left.
Once you are facing the food counter, go left.
You are now facing the staff room. The door is locked, and the lock seems to use two different types of symbols.
Go right.
You are now back at the food counter. Click on the ticket machine for a close up.
Looks like it's a machine to get rice. Yummy!
Click on the left side of the ticket machine.
Hey, there's toilet paper here! Take it and back up twice to the food counter.

Click on the left (men's) doorway to enter.
Click on the right door (broom closet) to open it and take the bucket of water.

Take the escape man (Escape man #2).
Back up twice.
The Smoking Area

An escape man will be on the outside of the truck, take him (Escape man #4).

Click on the ticket machine for a close up.
Use your wallet on the machine to get a ticket.
Once you have your rice ticket, click on the coin return lever several times. An escape man will drop into the coin return slot, take him (Escape Man #6).
Back up and click on the food counter for a close up.
Give the rice ticket to the guy behind the counter.
The guy will give you a buzzer. Once you have it, just wander around until it goes off. Time for dinner!

Ring the bell on the empty counter.
Wait a minute and the clerk will appear. It's an escape man! Take him (Escape Man #9).
Back up.
The Staff Room
Click on the staff room door.
Look closely at the symbol lock.
Note the symbols on the top of the lock, a Yen sign, a rice bowl, a cigarette, and a broom.
We've seen these symbols around the service area.
Do you remember what shape the signs were that had those symbols?
The Yen symbol is an upside-down pentagon. The rice bowl was a diamond. The cigarette was a circle. The broom was a square.
Set the symbols to the proper shapes, then click "enter".
Click on the now unlocked door to open it.
The last escape man is in there, enjoying a cup-o-ramen! Take him (Escape man #10).
Congratulations! The staff is in a lot of trouble and you can finally get back on the road.
