After getting into Dice Wars, I started checking out the other games on that website, and one that has me baffled is the Office Escape game. The two times I have tried it I have gotten stuck at the same point: I have collected 6 wooden balls, 2 cards, 1 key, and a piece of paper with a 4x4 grid that has circles inside 5 of the squares. I cannot figure out what to do next.

I have tried to arrange the wooden balls into the safe(?) using the pattern on the paper, even trying all 4 rotations, but that does nothing. Does anyone know what to do at this point?

The somewhat lame (took me a while to get this one) next step is:

click on the duck in the cupboard and WAIT.

Aha, thank you. Now I must figure out what to do beyond that.

I have been trying, unsuccessfully, to match the dots on the computer screen to the paper. If someone figures it out, please post the sequence of dots to press. I suggest labeling the grid columns ABCD and the rows 1234.

When you click on an item, the text at the top says "you can drag the item". You'll need to do that -- at least twice.

That reminds me -- I did actually drag the cards around the last time I played it (which was a couple of weeks ago), but didn't know what to do with the clue at the time.

The pattern of dots on the paper cannot be formed on the computer screen. Must try something else.

I did too. Okay, I admit it, I'm bad. Here is the one I used http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTA9Vfa-KEE. My advice is to only use it if you can't figure out what to do with the paper hint with the five circles. The rest of the game isn't that hard.
