The 1-Upper: Get a key. Open the door.

POSTED: Wednesday, September 17, 2008, 3:35 AM

GAHHHHHH!!!!!

OK folks, fair warning ... the following game will most likely scream in frustration, kick your furniture over, and just put you in a downright foul mood. But I'll tell you this, it's worth it.

The premise of Get a key. Open the Door. is simple. Just read the title. You'll progress through a series of rooms where the goal is to find the key and then open the door to the next room. Sometimes, you'll even have to find the door. It starts out easy enough, then progresses to some of the most fiendish puzzles. You'll really have to change your way of thinking from one room to the next. If there were awards for best online game of the year, this should get it. It's a great mix of fun, good design, and mind-numbingly frustrating puzzles.

I waited to post this until I had finished the game, which took me a while. If you get stuck on a room, post a comment and I'll give you a hint.

Get some keys and open some doors here.

I'll give you a hint ... For 19, it's all about the your drag speed and hunting skills.

Kara, all I'll say is that sometimes very aggressive clicking can help.
