DORM WALKTHROUGH

This is a complete walkthrough for the game DORM. It will spoil all the puzzles. The walkthrough includes all moves necessary to get a score of 100 out of 100, but you'll miss out on the flavour text and background details of the story.

Part 1: enter Concoction Hall

Armed with only adhesive putty and our wiles, we'll get into the dorm.

Part 3: explore Concoction Hall

Starts in your room. We'll open the panel for later, and since we won't need the business card again we'll make it our first door decoration. Then we'll meet the totally normal wall, and get the dictionary to use later.

Part 5: explore campus

Starting at the bridge, now that the pirate is gone we can access campus and our first step will be to improve our balance with a hammock. Then we'll find a missing photo for a totally normal wall that didn't ask for it, because it's a wall.

Part 10: fixing the showers

Starting in the gamer's room, we'll head outside to charge up the stone. That way we'll have light for the area beyond the access panel, where we can fix the showers. Fixing the showers will reveal a secret message in the bathroom which will help animate the bull.

Part 12: the bull

Starting at the tie contest, we'll move to the bull via the lower exit so we can see the hidden message near the rubbish. That's the final clue needed to tell us how to animate the bull. We'll ride the bull safely because of what we won in the tie contest, and find both a poster and a vintage Apple sign we can use to decorate our door.
