no1game's POKO escape game traps you in a room that doesn't have much in the way of creature comforts... unless, of course, all you really need to relax and thrive is a bunch of cryptic clues and strange puzzles. Then you're all set! Click around to explore, and click the question mark on an item you're carrying to view it up close, which may let you manipulate it further. Some items can even be used on or combined with one another, so if you're stuck, try fiddling with your inventory. POKO is one of those games where getting the ball rolling might initially be more tricky than solving the rest of the game, and you'll need to remember that some items may be used more than once, or for, um, odd things. Despite this, there's a lot of charm to be had from the mildly offbeat way the puzzles are presented, and there's actually a nice amount of cleverness to them to appreciate. It won't take you very long, but, well, time flies when you're having fun, right?

Hints for POKO:
The code for the padlock on the blue step ladder:
The clues are the colours of the books on the desk (from left to right) and the notes on the first page of the open book on the desk.
Where to use the blue step ladder (once you've opened the legs in the inventory):
First:
On the floor next to the desk so that you can look behind the clock.
Then later:
In the attic.
How to turn on the tap above the sink:
The clue is the numbered teddy-bear head on the shelves next to the sink.
How to open the star box:
The clues are the third page of the open book on the desk, the times shown on the two clocks in the room, and don't forget to convert to 24-hour time.
Where to find the watering can:
Buried next to the tree.
How to get into the attic:
Make the seed sprout:
The clue is the second page of the open book on the desk. You will also need the axe and watering can from other puzzles
Pick up the sprouted seed, replant it in a more useful location, and water it again.
How to solve the picture puzzle:
Smash the locking bar with the axe. The clue to how to move the eyes is on the back of the leaves which were in the pot on the shelves next to the sink.
How to find the down triangle:
Once you have the bread, cut it with the axe, and put the slices into the toaster on the desk. Look around the room once to make time pass, pick up the toast, and then eat it.
