Hi Marian and MaG - I'm baack!! Started this game last night. Have solved 3 puzzles and opened one door. I have two puzzles to solve, both giving me trouble. One is (I guess) the slider puzzle. It says that I've seen a similar sketch or something but I have not. I may be able to get this puzzle once I know what it is supposed to look like. We'll see. But for now, I really need some help on the word cypher puzzle in The Main Sitting Room. I am really not good at these. I've been trying some things but need help. I know there are hint/solution walkthroughs but IF there is some type of hint that can be given, you know I'd appreciate it. Once I start looking at the walkthrough, it's all over. Thanks!

Yes - that's the sketch. The main page has the sketch.
As for the word puzzle - the hint for that is taken after the slider puzzle is solved. Good luck.
It might help if you finish the museum first before you proceed.

I think I need your guidance again MaG.
On the 2nd floor west corridor, there is a door with red laser bars across it and a keypad for a 4 digit code. The panel opens to reveal green, blue, red, and yellow wires. If these wires are supposed to be giving me a clue, I'm not seeing it.
Other unsolved puzzles are: the workshop (blocked door), the winter garden (need an item), game room (need a card as well as a code), blue bedroom (need item), library (need item), loft (need item).
I have a small gold key and a triple key unused in my inventory.
I've already solved 3 of the puzzles by luck/trial and error. One of them I was still trying to figure out when it solved and I think I found the clue later; one was a 3 digit code that I just entered number until I got it - never found a clue, the other was the Polybius square. No idea what that is - just turned knobs until I got it right. I'd rather be solving them because I know what I'm doing but...

Laser door: Look at the individual wires. If you stare long enough - you'll see the clue. Workshop: Is this a safe? There are 3 of them. Winter garden: I think the item you need is in the snookers safe. Game room: Open the yellow room and you will get the item and clue. Blue bedroom: Get the item from violet bedroom. Loft: There are 2 safes. You don't need items for them. Straight puzzles. Gold key: Use it in Violet bedroom. Triple keys: Collect all 4 of them.

Aye! I'll stare at the wires some more then. Seems like this is the one I need to get to move along. The workshop is a door. Don't think I've gotten into any yellow or violet rooms yet. The one puzzle in the loft seems to need a handle or something. I did the other one. Thanks MaG. I will let you know how it goes.

One colored wire at a time. Maybe it will help if you draw-copy the wire.
----------------
Are you trying to enter the workshop? If so, you need items for the keypad.
-------- Loft: One is a chess board and the other is made up of pipes. Which one?

Staring at the wires helped MaG. I did see the numbers. That got me into the yellow room. I've been in the workshop and solved two puzzles. There is a door with letters on it that says "blocked" when I click anywhere on it. I'm sure I just haven't found something I need for it. I think a card. I found the lever for the loft puzzle. It was in the puzzle in the game room. Is that what it is? A chess board? 6 squares by 6 squares. I believe I am supposed to press one square down per row and column with none of them in a row/column/diagonal with another. Can't get it tonight. Hopefully tomorrow.

Hi Marian Thanks for the info. I hope these are not the 8's on the doors with some lines darkened. I have looked at them numerous times already also. I will go take a look.

Yep, that was them. I had already drawn them but didn't really put them all together for a good study. I re-drew them and got it this time. Thanks for your help Marian and MaG! It was a fun game. ALMOST not too challenging for me In Gremlin's review, he says he only spent a few hours on the game plus the time for the slider puzzle. What?? I spent 24 hours playing this!
