I am terrible at these but I am going to give it a try!!

Well, after several hours, all I managed to do was take the light bulb in and out of the lamps, plug in the computer, buy gumballs which I fed to the mouse until I caught him under my hat, move antlers back and forth and barely lift up sofa cushions. The key is bound to be in the safe, but I am making no progress.

I had to cheat- oh well.

I had to cheat, too. I always do at these escape games. Even with help, I have a hard time.

Darn but this game is frustrating!

If I knew how to cheat, I would. Is there an answer sheet somewhere? I have managed to do one more thing, I got the moose to open his eyes.

If you google the name of the game (loose the moose), you'll get hits on web sites where people ask questions and others post spoilers. That's how I finally figured this game out. This particular escape game isn't very intuitive. There's no way I would have figured out what to do with the picture or the hat, or the rigamarole with the lamps. I guess I'm just not cut out for these kinds of games. Gimme Text Twist or the train game any day. :)

I found it. Thanks.
