I bought Escape Whisper Valley a while back, but have never been able to play. Every time I try to load it won't let me move my mouse! It's like the mouse is stuck in the top corner. It's a shame because I loved this game when I was little. I daren't buy a different escape game in case it happens with another...
The theme in Escape Whisper Valley is you are trapped in a remote mountain type region of some American town that appears to be abandoned. You advance the context of escape by finding all of the hidden objects present collecting clues from the remote and deserted town of Whisper Valley.
After being informed of your fate, in this case you are trapped following the earthquake with no apparent means of escape, you will need to work your way through a series of levels made up of various scenes that have a habit of being repeated. You are given no choice in the order of the levels which are identified by their Prisoner-like number. Each level has to be completed within a specified time limit. Failure to complete in time means you will need to replay that level. You are, however, permitted to select the order in which each scene, represented by a large thumbnail image, can be tackled.
The reward for completing a puzzle is a scrap of paper. Obviously you will need to put these scraps together when they have all been collected to provide you with the means to carry out your escape which does involve slightly more complex puzzles.

During the summer of 1878 the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey madea reconnaissance along the 39th parallel of latitude in order to effectthe primary triangulation of Nevada and Utah. The survey party was in chargeof Assistant August F. Rodgers, and was making preparations to set outfrom Sacramento in June, when Muir returned from a trip to the headwatersof the north and middle forks of the American River. He decided immediatelyto accept an invitation to join the party, although some of his friends,notably the Strentzels, sought to dissuade him on account of the Indiandisturbances which had made Nevada unsafe territory for a number of years,Idaho was then actually in the throes of an Indian war that entailed thedestruction and abandonment of the Malheur Reservation across the boundaryin Oregon.But the perils of the situation were in Muir's view outweighed by theexceptional opportunity to explore numerous detached mountain ranges andvalleys of Nevada about which little was known at the time. "If an explorerof God's fine wildernesses should wait until every danger be removed,"he wrote to Mrs. Strentzel, "then he would wait until the sun set. Thewar country lies to the north of our line of work, some two or three hundredmiles. Some of the Pah Utes have gone north to join the Bannocks, and thoseleft behind are not to be trusted, but we shall be well armed, and theywill not dare to attack a party like ours unless they mean to declare war,however gladly they might seize the opportunity of killing a lonely andunknown explorer. In any case we will never be more than two hundred milesfrom the railroad."Unfortunately Muir, becoming absorbed the following year in the wondersof Alaska, never found time to reduce his Nevada explorations to writingin the form of well-considered articles. He did, however, write for the"San Francisco Evening Bulletin" a number of sketches during the progressof the expedition, and these, published in "Steep Trails," can now be supplementedwith the following letters to the Strentzels--the only extant series writtenduring that expedition.Since Muir ultimately married into the Strentzel family, its antecedentsare of interest to the reader and may be sketched briefly in this connection.John Strentzel, born in Lublin, Poland, was a participant in the unsuccessfulPolish revolution of 1830. To escape the bitter fate of being drafted intothe victorious Russian army he fled to Upper Hungary where he obtaineda practical knowledge of viticulture, and later was trained as a physicianat the University of Buda-Pesth. Coming to the United States in 1840, hejoined at Louisville, Kentucky, a party of pioneers known as Peters' ColonizationCompany,--and went with them to the Trinity River in Texas, where he builta cabin on the present site of the city of Dallas, then a wild Comanchecountry. When the colony failed and dispersed he removed to Lamar Countyin the same state, was married at Honeygrove to Louisiana Erwin, a nativeof Tennessee, and in 1849, with his wife and baby daughter, came acrossthe plains from Texas to California as medical adviser to the Clarkesville"train" of pioneer immigrants. Not long afterwards he settled in the AlhambraValley[According to the journal of Dr. Strentzel, this wasnot the original name of the valley. A company of Spanish soldiers, sentto chastise some Indians, was unable to obtain provisions there, and sonamed it, "Canada de la Hambre," or Valley of Hunger. "Mrs. Strentzel,on arriving here," writes her husband, "was displeased with the name, and,remembering Irving's glowing description of the Moorish paradise, decidedto re-christen our home Alhambra." Ever since then the valley has bornethis modification of the original name.]near Martinez, and becameone of the earliest and most successful horticulturists of California.

From the "Switch" we rode to the old Fort Churchill on the Carson andat the "Upper" lower end of Mason Valley were delighted to find the ancientoutlet of Walker Lake down through a very picturesque cañon to itsconfluence with the Carson. It appears therefore that not only the Humboldtand Carson, but the Walker River also poured its waters into the GreatSink towards the end of the glacial period. From Fort Churchill we pushedeast-ward between Carson Lake and the Sink. Boo! how hot it was riding inthe solenm, silent glare, shadeless, waterless. Here is what the earlyemigrants called the forty-mile desert, well marked with bones and brokenwagons. Strange how the very sunshine may become dreary. How strange aspell this region casts over poor mortals accustomed to shade and coolnessand green fertility. Yet there is no real cause, that I could see, forreasonable beings losing their wits and becoming frightened. There arethe lovely tender abronias blooming in the fervid sand and sun, and a speciesof sunflower, and a curious leguminous bush crowded with purple blossoms,and a green saltwort, and four or five species of artemisia, really beautiful,and three or four handsome grasses.Lizards reveled in the grateful heat and a brave little tamias thatcarries his tail forward over his back, and here and there a hare. Immenseareas, however, are smooth and hard and plantless, reflecting light likewater. How eloquently they tell of the period, just gone by, when thisregion was as remarkable for its lavish abundance of lake water as nowfor its aridity. The same grand geological story is inscribed onthe mountain flanks, old beach lines that seem to have been drawn witha ruler, registering the successive levels at which the grand lake stood,corresponding most significantly with the fluctuations of the glaciersas marked by the terraced lateral moraines and successively higher terminalmoraines.After crossing the Sink we ascended the mountain range that bounds iton the East, eight thousand to ten thousand feet high. How treeless andbarren it seemed. Yet how full of small charming gardens, with mints, primroses,brier-roses, penstemons, spiraeas, etc., watered by trickling streams toosmall to sing audibly. How glorious a view of the Sink from the mountain-top.The colors are ineffably lovely, as if here Nature were doing her verybest painting.But a letter tells little. We next ascended the Augusta Range, crossedthe Desetoya and Shoshone ranges, then crossed Reese River valley and ascendedthe Toyabe Range, eleven thousand feet high. Lovely gardens in all.Discovered here the true Pinus flexilis at ten thousand feet. It entersthe Sierra in one or two places on the south extremity of the Sierra, eastflank. Saw only one rattlesnake. No hostile Indians. Had a visit at mytent yesterday from Captain Bob, one of the Pah Ute plenipotentiarieswho lately visited McDowell at San Francisco. Next address for two weeksfrom this date, Eureka, Nevada.I'm sure I showed my appreciation of good things. That's a fine suggestionabout the grapes. Try me, Doctor, on tame, tame Tokays.Cordially yours
John Muir
