EDIT: Lovely Ben Ward has written an entertaining Hints Guide to Ben There, Dan That! If you're stuck, and want a spoiler-free ish general nudge in the right direction, have a read.

If you've already played the game, it's also worth a read because it's DAMNED funny.


Someone has written a full walkthrough for BTDT, you can find it here.

I haven't had time to read it through and check it myself, yet, but it seems fairly comprehensive.

There's a mistake right at the start - it says 'use Ben to turn off the light' instead of Dan, so be wary of this...

I love how they call it 'State 51'.

I'm still thinking about writing a tip-through in the BTDT style. Maybe I'll do that this weekend. I much prefer the idea of nudging people towards solutions, rather than pouring them into their welcoming fat McFaces.

I don't think the puzzles are that hard that they warrant a full blown walkthrough, a hint-guide would be better. I was only ever stuck once and that was because I had missed a particular place during my stay in one dimension.

I can't think of an interesting, useful way of doing this. I may just give up and mess about with t-shirt designs instead...

It's awesome. I'll make it live today. Have sent you an email.
