History Videogame / safecracker

** Another has a fully functional clone of ''VideoGame/{{Minesweeper}}''.

* {{Tilesweeper}}: A ''Minesweeper'' game is available on the computer.

** [[spoiler: Margaret simply leaves the fortune locked up at the bottom of a bank vault if she inherits it.]]
** [[spoiler: James splits the money between everyone and [[TakingUpTheMantle take charge of their great uncle's safe business]].]]
** [[spoiler: If you choose Elizabeth as Mr. Adams' heir, she [[AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted spends his entire fortune]] of ''billions of dollars'' in a matter of months.]]
** [[spoiler: Edward pays off his house and gives part of the inheritance to his sister, Elizabeth.]]
** [[spoiler: Sarah, the youngest of the family, uses the money fairly: She makes a tomb for her great uncle, takes up his safe business, and [[WealthyPhilanthropist gives a portion of her wealth to each member of the family]].]]

* FrickingLaserBeams: One of the house's bedrooms is protected by a grid of lasers, for whatever reason.

A SpiritualSuccessor was released under the same name in 2006 by The Adventure Company and Kheops Studio, with the tagline, "The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure". Unlike the first game, it was also released for UsefulNotes/NintendoDS and UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}.

* TwelveCoinsPuzzle: A key-weighing machine in the basement, with an instruction manual on how to use it. It holds 8 keys that have to be weighed in two moves to show where the heavier key is. Guessing wrong or making more than two moves randomizes where the heavier key is, but selecting the right key dispenses it for you.

Safecracker is the title of two point and click puzzle games. The first was released in 1997, published by Dreamcatcher Entertainment and developed by Swedish software developers [=DayDream=] Software, who later developed a harder, but similar game, ''Traitor's Gate''. A SpiritualSuccessor was released under the same name in 2006 by The Adventure Company and Kheops Studio, with the tagline, "The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure"

Not to be confused with the [[Pinball/{{Safecracker}} pinball game of the same name]].

** QueensPuzzle: Played straight on one safe in the house's attic. Slightly easier than most examples by the fact that every square follows a pattern, as your character is quick to point out.

* GoodiesInTheToilets: The code to the final safe has to be pieced together from plaques mounted on the doors to several bathrooms.

* DontTouchItYouIdiot: There's a long ornate strand of cloth hanging from the library ceiling that says "[[SchmuckBait PULL]]", and a small sign next to it saying "please do not pull". Your reward for ignoring that sign is an abrupt slide to the basement, with a bump to your head for good measure. At least someone had the courtesy [[CrossesTheLineTwice to put a welcome mat at the end of the chute]].

** [[spoiler: Either James or Edward will use the money to [[TakingUpTheMantle take charge of their great uncle's safe business]].]]

* ElevatorFromIpanema: The house's med bay has a laid back funk tune playing, even listed as "ELEV" in the game files, though averted in the actual elevator.

In the first game, you are assigned by Jerry Crabb, the eccentric President and CEO of renowned safe manufacturing firm, Crabb & Sons, to break into their corporate headquarters, after hours, crack every safe in the place, and use the items retrieved from those safes to unlock the final, most complicated safe which contains your job contract.

* BaitAndSwitch: The game and its manual lead you to believe that the F-9-12 safe in Jerry Crabb's office is the ultimate goal, especially with the fact that it houses ''an entire corner of the room''. But when you finally get the thing open, instead of your job contract, [[spoiler: there's only a chess piece inside. This is for a nearby chessboard that unlocks access to a hidden room on the first floor, and your job contract is actually in an even bigger safe down there.]]

* TwelveCoinsPuzzle: A key-weighing machine in the basement, with an instruction manual on how to use it. It holds 8 keys that have to be weighed in two groups to show where the heavier key is. Guessing wrong randomizes where the heavier key is, but selecting the right key dispenses it for you.

* {{Spinventory}}: Showing off Quicktime VR's capabilities of the time, your HUD can show a closeup view of some items in your inventory and some interactive ones in the background, and they can be rotated at will while selected.
