How do you beat the two clocks in the Haunted house on poptropica?

Answer 1

Click on the clocks over the fireplace in the bedroom (third floor left).

A skull pops up when a clock strikes midnight (both hands point up). The object is to have both skulls pop up at the same time...but the clocks show different times.

By placing your mouse cursor over one of the clocks, you cause it to speed up. When you move the cursor away, it goes back to its regular speed after a few seconds. By speeding up one, or both, of the clocks, you can get them to keep about the same time. You can get it fairly close, then at the last second before 12, speed the slower one up so that both skulls come out at practically the same time. This may take a little practice. Be sure to keep the cursor away from both clocks until you want one to speed up.

A lantern will appear in the fireplace. There is kerosene fuel for it under the stairs in the basement.
