Default Old DOS Game .... driving me slightly insane

I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me with this. It's a game that I used to play when i was younger (probably around mid 90's).

It was an adventure/puzzle game which was based around a house. You went from room to room solving puzzles, to allow you to the next room, with the intention of getting to the attic.

I seem to remember a frog was involved and one of the puzzles involved some magicians or wizards in the kitchen.


I've spent some time looking on the internet, but havent been able to find anything so any suggestions would be welcomed with open arms

This sounds very much like The 7th Guest.

This, however, does not. So maybe I'm wrong. (Or maybe you're mixing up two games.)

Thank you both for your replies, i've had a look at the game you mentioned but it's not that one.

It was quite a basic game with very basic graphics, suitable for children/young teenagers.

I'll keep having a search, just thought someone might recognise it.

Thanks,

OK, so maybe Hugo's House of horrors?

Atic Atac? This came out in the 80's though on the ZX Spectrum/BBC-B and I'm only putting it here with the most extreme odds this is what you are looking for..

Not much of a puzzle game, but Henry's House has you collecting everything and then the key to open the door to the next room. Don't know if it was C64 exclusive though.
