Sometimes I like to pretend Vitamin Hana is a magical fairy who leaves little escape games everywhere to brighten the day. In Take Me By Magnet Escape, the room looks barren, so you'll need a keen eye for detail (and the willingness to track down some unintuitive hotspots given the lack of changing cursor) if you want to pick the clues out of this apparent emptiness that will allow you to escape. Just click on things to interact and move around the room, and don't forget to examine items you're carrying with the About Item button... you never know what you might see up close when you fiddle with it! You'll actually go a while before you see hide nor hair of a magnet, mostly because magnets have neither hide nor hair, but before you start lighting torches and waving pitchforks, yelling, "WE WERE PROMISED MAGNETS", patience. Vitamin Hana always delivers, and despite some fiddly hotspots, so does this short little game when it comes to bite-sized escapery goodness.
This apparently a cute easy escape... I have a switch and some tape and am stuckity stuck
Grrr I already checked about item on the switch!
Did you
turn the switch over?
Or open the covering on the back?
I think the ads are causing java scripting problems, as I have gotten the Grey Circle of Death, and booted from the site once.

Loved the game as well as your idea of "Vitamin Hana, the magical escape fairy", Dora. That's so cute... \(^0^)/
Oh, the part with the
car and the magnet
reminds me of a tesshi-e escape, I think :) The one, where you had to
build a little car out of several inventory items
in order to get the key out from under the bed. :O
I remember that was quite a hard one for me at that time because I was new to escape games and it seemed so finicky and a little far fetched (pun intended XD). The memory made me chuckle a little with nostalgia... :D
