    But in the meantime we take the opportunity to explore the underground. There are multiple entrances and it’s not really big. However you need the candle, or you will be eaten by a grue!
    Incidentally we find a grue‘s nest. Sadly we are not quick enough to raid the fridge. I wonder how we can avoid the little beast…?

      Easy! We let ourselves get caught by the boot patrol. In the cell there is a blanket on the bunk bed. Off we go into the underground and throw the blanket over the beast. This gives us access to a bottle of grue milk and an earthworm (yuck!).

          Using the milk of grue we can now wish for darkness. This is useful to get into the cinema. However I wonder what the wishless solution would be to this puzzle…? Wishes don’t increase the score, even though getting the ingredients is quite cumbersome (getting the ingredients gets you points, so that’s good).

            In the cinema we find some 3D glasses which lets us watch the movie. Which is kind of a weird thing… is it a movie at all…?
            The glasses are needed for a different wish. So I guess they are not needed at all, except if they can be used in a different way?
