enjoying Deception Island, I junst can't understand the puzzle from the seashell under seaweed, I know this is an old game, it seems all the flags aren't there, shouldn't there be 9 buttons to click & spell out "Rosebud" there are only 7 ??

Have you checked the walkthrough here?

I just replayed this game a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks, Marian.

Yes,actually checked several different w/t's but I couldn't find the letter "E" flag, so with some sluething I deduced the flag in the shell puzzle was somewhat awry... the game is a foot, I loves Sherlock Holmes games
thanx for your help..

Glad you worked it out, Boo.
