Ticket is a brand new game from the talented room escape designers at Gotmail. Like so many of their games to come before, this one features the same highly detailed, gorgeous pre-rendered scenes and the same point-and-clickery puzzles one would expect to find in a game of this nature. The only downside? There is no English version, so that will surely turn off a few. We can only hope an English translation will appear for it someday soon. If you're a room escape fantatic, though, you won't want to wait to dig your nails into this new Gotmail release.

use the shovel on the pot in the cabinet, get screwdriver handle, open the flashlight, get metal part, join metal part and handle to get a screwdriver, zoom on the green clock on the wall beside the cabinet, look behind it, unscrew the compartment, get the batteries, put the batteries inside the red thing... and what now?
I'm stuck too -- I'm exactly where you are. WHERE IS
the metal part of the screwdriver?
eee!
Once you've found the flashlight:
Opening it will give you the rest of the screwdriver.
That will let you:
open the desk drawer and get the batteries out of the clock on the wall.
seems like being able to read the japanese on the phone screen might be necessary in order to continue.
The other bit of the screwdriver is inside the flashlight - click on the bottom of it to open it. You can use this to get batteries from inside the clock and a mobile phone in the top drawer in the desk. I've put the batteries in the red thing and the red thing in the phone. But now I'm stuck :(
edit: Too slow. But I typed all this out so I'm posting it anyway : )
anyone have any ideas what to do once you
remove the light bulb from the lamp?
Oh wait -
that charges the phone! But I don't read japanese....
I'm out! Got the ticket :D
use your phone on all the stars in the room, gives the code to the safe, use phone on safe
Now that I've got
the phone charged... does anybody read Japanese?
anyone figured out what's up with the stars?
3 stars on the tiger painting. 3 stars in the underwater painting. and 4 stars on the floor beneath the books between the file cabinet and bookshelf
found with the working flashlight
Out!

What's up with the 3-stars motif?
If you move the red & green books at the bottom of the bookcase and shine the flashlight where they used to be, you see 3 stars in the floor.
And:
There are 3 starfish in the fish painting.
And:
There are 3 stars in the tigers painting, with a fourth hiding in the nebula-thing above them.
But none of this seems to be helping at the moment. :-(
Found Star
behind coloured books with torch
I so want to see in the trash can next to the desk... but can't get over there. Ditto all of those shelves. And if I were really stuck in the room, I'd bash right through that flimsy-looking right-hand closet door. Grr!

I also found
3 stars in between the red and blue books, with a link that takes you to a Japanese book on amazon.co.jp (the link opens in a new window/tab)
what to do with stars:
if you count the number of stars all over the place
14
you can go to the phone and send a message and it will return a number
80020731
but i don't know where to enter the code.
I see one star where the books used to be. I see two stars if you click on the red and green books once or twice. I also found the stars in the lion painting. I was wondering if the number of stars would become a code.
Out at last
The stars relate to the phone
If you keep opening the phone and clicking on the screen you'll eventually get to a message with a star in it. No idea what it says but once you've got it click on every star you've discovered in the room
Actually....
for the stars in the phone
It seems:
The more you find the higher the number next to the "star" in the phone goes up. (you may have to open and close the phone a couple of times to see it.. My count is at 14 so far...)
I wonder if the number of stars will become a phone number
manu japan words. ???
somthing with stars i think. hmm
i dont get it
I've gotten
15 stars, which gives an 8-digit number on the phone.
Can't find anywhere to use it tho.
I only have 9. Three from the starfish picture, three from the lions, two from the books, and one from the floor where the books were.
Yeah...
I got the 8 digit code on the phone now too.. no more star count..
80020731 is mine
still not sure how to use it.
Ellis, for the number
I'm not sure why it worked, but selecting the phone once you have the number and clicking on the safe in the cupboard opens it
It's plain sailing from there on in
After I got the number on the phone (80020731) I clicked on the safe in the closet and got a cutters/pliers
once you've got the number
use cell phone on safe in closet
Then you can use the pliers in the
lamp
Out!
Once you click on all the stars (I think it changes for each game, I had to find 11) you get that text message that has the number on it. Then you click on the safe in the cupboard, click on the phone and click on the safe (on the keypad) again and it should open
then use the new screwdriver to open the
other closet door where you can use the pliers to get a note and a key
Yeah! Thanks for the collab effort! Got out too!
got the premium ticket also w00t
Out! Thanks Hornybearskin. Figured one should open the other, but it didn't occur to me to use it in that particular way.
This game started out so well - almost on a par with the really excellent games like Vision - but then it totally and absolutely shot itself in the foot: why on EARTH should clicking on a couple of books cause my computer to open a friggin' website??? (And to make it worse, as far as I can tell you have to click on the books so you can see between them.)
Gah, such wasted potential.
Another issue I have is
the screws on the desk drawer are clearly standard heads, i.e. they should take a slotted screwdriver, not the Philips screwdriver you get initially. If the game is going to make the distinction between screwdriver types, it ought to get the screws correct. (The only screws in the game that look like Philips heads are the ones on the clock. I thought initially that the white closet had Philips head screws, but if you angle your screen just right, you can see that they're slotted.)
I found it a bit disapointing. Probably it had to do with the language-problem. But the fact that that website opened for about a hundred times (because I tought I was missing a star, I kept clicking on it), really enoyed me. The graphics are nice though.
Weird question. I've been playing these games awhile, and I've never really found out too much about gotmail that was available in english. Does their name apply to anything they do, or is it just the phenomenon of Japanese using random english words like fashion magazines named "kettle"?
I never got a number on my phone. I just tried it on the safe, however, and it worked. Weird.
Hey Jay, anyone posted a walkthrough yet? If not, how can I do so?

THE END
GotMail ROCKS!
The e-mail you read in the phone tells you that you have a new mission and need to find stars hidden around the room. The only places they seem to appear are the underwater scene picture, the picture of the tigers with the night backdrop, the two books to the right of the book case (click on them twice), and the space where the books were (must use flashlight to see). You also have to use the phone on each star in order for it to count. Once you have found them all, you are emailed a code to the safe, and you have to use the phone on the safe.
The language barrier in this game really hurts.
So good to hear from GotMail. I was getting worried. I love their games. The language barrier is a problem sometimes but does not stop me from playing anyway. I was confused by how many stars. It was funny my eyes just couldn't see the ones on the tiger painting. I think because my mind could only see the "real" stars in the sky behind them. :)
Good Game
There seems to be something strange. The walkthroughs say you're supposed to find
4 stars under the green and red books if you use the flashlight there. Well, I only seem to see one star there. I mean not the one star on the back of the green book, but one star on the floor.
Am I doing something wrong?
Dear bioLarzen,
It changes every game, so don't fret!
Reka:
All (Most if not All?) GotMail escape games have at least one link to an external website. Often there is some clue there to help with the game. However, as there was no translation yet . . .
I also suspect the needing to find the stars would be much more clear if I could read the language.
I've never been a fan of the GotMail games... too much pixel-hunting, and I find the graphics draw away from it all... But I'm probably the exception to the rule :P
I cannot get the handle and the screwdriver to merger. Any ideas? Or is there a trick i would not know about yet?? Thanks
Looks like the stars change slightly between games.
I had 4 between the books, 4 under the books, 4 in the tiger painting (I didn't notice the ones actually on the tigers for a while, too!), and 3 starfish. But I think the stars between the books only counted as 2 because my count only went up to 14 and those were the last ones I needed.
Iceebear -
Double click on the screwdriver handle, click on the metal screwdrivery bit of the screwdriver, then click on the end of the handle that the screwdriver bit goes into
Sorry that was a terrible explanation!
Always amuses me how they know enough English for the title, and for the rest of the game.....oh noes! I forgot how to speak English!
This has to be the easiest escape game from Gotmail, if you remove the language barrier that is.
A great game, as always. It seems much less involved and complicated than the previous Gotmail games, though. Or maybe I'm just getting better at these escape games.
@Corona:
Looking up a single word in another language is easy. It's called "a Japanese-English dictionary". Probably takes about ten seconds.
Translating an entire game from one language to another is NOT easy.
somewhat of a gotmail fan usually...as for this one not-so-much. Maybe it was the language barrier but it just didn't have the same feel as the others.
And yes, it seems the star count changes every game. I got five behind the books and four in them. As for the code I'm pretty sure it stays the same 8 digit code.
I can't make head nor tail of this and don't want to use the walkthrough because I would pretty much have to follow it step by step. I can normally stumble my way through games in Japanese but with this one I think I'll wait and see if an english version comes out. Hope so mind, it does look to be a good game.
Yes, agreed. I can't say this one did a whole lot for me. I tried to copy and paste some of the Japanese into a translator, but it wouldn't copy for me, and the whole thing just became tedious. I tried it twice and gave up.
For those of you wondering about the Japanese:
phone
the mail message on the phone says something along the lines of: "You've made it this far, I have a new mission for you. There are star marks hidden around the room. Count them, and if you send the correct number, I will give you a reward"
light bulb
"there is something there, but my fingers can't reach it"
wooden box
"it is being closed by a wire"
paper note
"There is a ticket for your favorite artist's premiere hidden somewhere in the room. If you find it, I will let you have it."
Help! I can't even open the spoilers! lol

Very average, milquetoast, mediocre escape game...
After reading the comments i realized that...
apparently the number of stars required each time is different...
Have they made any new gotmail games yet??
Update
