Welcome to your first day of ninja training school. Before we get started, let's go over a few basics. These are little known and widely misunderstood ninja fun facts: ninjas have an affinity for hiding in unusual places, ninjas are dangerous when startled, ninjas' favorite color is green and ninjas often spend their free-time playing No1Game's Find the Escape-Men: In the Ninja House. Now is your own special opportunity to train essential ninja escape game tactics.
As you begin your journey from impercipient novice to acutely adroit, you must first test your ninja spotting senses by finding the ten escape men in and about the ninja house. You will be provided very few aids in this task, no changing cursor, and thus must rely solely on power of observation, puzzle-solving skills and an ability to creatively utilize found objects. Grey bars along the edges of the screen indicate when and where to turn and numerous clues are scattered about for your scrutiny. Check inventory carefully for hints and possible tools to guide you in your quest.
Occasional frustration may ensue as not all answers are found in the obvious and those who abhor hunting for pixels should refrain from entering. As ninjas do savor trickery, expect some misdirection and fruitless leads. Also be warned that your sensibilities could be offended by the more disreputable inhabitants of the ninja house. Of course, this venture could heighten your humorous instincts as well. If it is amusement you seek and an insatiable longing for more Ninja in your day, applications for admission to the Ninja factory are now being accepted. Test number one: find and use the "play" button.

After setting the correct number of points on each ninja star shape, press the black bar to open the cabinet's door:

Turn back to the pond and listen as whoever is under the water gulps in more water. He'll pop up in a minute (he's not happy!)
Click on the angry green ninja to get ESCAPE-MAN (10/10).
Exiting
After you find all 10 escape man, you'll be told you have done well....but he doesn't offer the scroll.
You have a number of items in your inventory; maybe you can turn on the ol' ninja charm and convince him to give it to you. Here's one way to do it:
Clock him over the head with the HAMMER.
Tickle him with the MANIPULATOR until he turns red.
Use the TRANQUILIZER on him.
Then wave the SICKLE at him.
Once you have the scroll, that's it. (For now at least!)
