Container Issues! (This is probably just me)

Hey everyone. I was following the New person tutorial on the wiki when it asked me to make the FRIDGE a container. I followed the tutorial thoroughly and checked the issue 4 times... but every time I type "Open fridge" or click the name and then click open it says "You can't open it". As I said before I have gone through the tutorial a ton of times and nothing has worked.
Here is the link to the tutorial I am talking about.

it's really frustrating as containers are clearly a major part of a Quest text adventure
Sorry if I have wasted your time

Sorry, I struggled with it for a little while and figured out it was because I never defined the verbs. Maybe you could make that a little more clear in the tutorial. To clear it up. I went into the verbs and defined "Open" where it said "print text" I changed that to "Run a script" in which I selected "Open an object" and changed the various settings.
Sorry again if I wasted your time

strange thing! If the fridgeobject is a container, you dont need to define an extra verb "open". I just tested it here and its working fine

How odd!. The take option or the use option dont work either and after struggeling with it for hours i can find out why :(. I looked up some earlier posts and it has nothing to do with the word "and" in the name. :(. Do you know what could be wrong?

Could you post your gamefile?

I have a feeling you've added your own "open", "close", "take" verbs etc. Go to game, Verbs in the tree and delete them.

It appears it was just the file Game I was in... It must have become corrupt or something. Well I have restarted the tutorial so hopefully no issues this time :)
