3: Click the "2" day sale so that the cent sign appears
4: There is a numbered slot machine in the upper right. Click each number until it
matches each numbered picture on the screen. (1 should be an egg, 2 should be

will now come through the hole and emerge at the bottom of the screen. Click the
mouse and it will run into the wheel. After a few seconds, the door will unlock.
To solve the Cellar Lock:
-------------------------
1: Your goal on the lightbulb grid is to get all the lights on. To solve, click the
following lights in sequence:
-Upper right corner
-Bottom right corner (this light will now be off)
-Lower left corner
-The upper left light should be on, and there should be a row of four "off" lights
in a diagonal row heading down to the bottom right. Click these four lights in order,
starting with the topmost one.
2: Once you've lit the entire grid, the green light bulb will go on. Turn the crank
below to produce a green battery. Fit this battery into the green battery slot.
3: The grid of lights will reset itself, but this time it's easy to solve. Click
each of the four corners, then the light in the exact middle. Turn the crank to
get the red battery.
4: On the grid, click the middle light in each of the four outer rows, then the exact
middle light. Turn crank for yellow battery.

crank for the purple battery.
6: Click each of the four corners, then each of the "off" lights diagonally next to
each corner. Turn crank for turquoise battery.
7: Once you've fit all the batteries in, the TV will turn on. There are three video
games that you must beat to continue. You can toggle between them by pressing
the three green buttons below the screen.
8: The first game is a Pong-inspired game. Use the crank on the right to control
the paddle. You must return the ball 15 times in a row to pass.
9: In the second game, you must keep your square in between the two lines for 35
seconds.
10: In the third game, your goal is to collect 25 of the circular objects while
avoiding being hit by the heart-shaped objects.
11: When you beat all three games, the words "Game Over" will appear followed by the
silhouette of a key. Turn the door handle in the lower left to continue.
To solve the Final Door Lock:
-----------------------------
Each key has a symbol on its end that corresponds to the symbol etched into the
door near each of the circular displays. Drag each key into the screen in the
top middle of the door, and the screen will display a letter. Click the red button
next to the symbol that corresponds to the key so that it turns green, and use the
rotating dial at the bottom of the door to rotate to the corresponding letter.
Repeat for each key until you've spelled out the word.

slot machine to create a fishbone in the slot machine.

any square to fill in an X. Win the game and the board will explode to
reveal a lever. (Hint: if you lose, you can exit to the map and re-click
on the guest bathroom to restart the scenario. Or, better yet, play the game
again (and again) until you win so you can go to the next level.)
5: Pull the lever to play the slot machine until you get double fishes (paired

to unlock the door.
To solve the Attic Lock:

on the screen (snake, doll's hand, dagger inside the large clock, grey arrow
with lamb's head on it) and rotate them fully by clicking multiple times to
cause letters to be revealed.
2: The revealed letters correspond to the four lettered blocks on the shelf next

is facing, then rotate the blocks to match.
3: When you've done this correctly, the green WC light will begin to flash.
Click on the toilet seat to lower it, then press the handle to flush the
toilet and a yodeler will appear in the painting. Flush the toilet a few

until it wins instead of going from color to color, since winning seems
completely random. When your horse wins, the lock will break.
To solve the Greenhouse Lock:
-----------------------------
1: There are eight pictures depicting the growth cycle of a frog. By pressing
the green buttons, you must put these pictures into sequence from earliest
to latest. Starting from the bottom and curving right, the number should be

and drag them into the correct spaces in the grid below. The first one will be 3
objects, the second time will be 4 objects, and the third will be 5.
Tips: This isn't easy. Concentrate, and if it helps, write down what the objects
are on a piece of paper to help you remember. As soon as you know what the first
item is, try to click on it without taking your eye off the rest of the flashing
items to get a head start. Move fast! You don't have a lot of time.
2: After you've completed the final Match 5 challenge, five paper symbols will
appear: Sheep, dog, turtle, bird, reptile. Push the buttons corresponding to the
symbols on the large middle pbject (i.e. snake = turtle).
To solve the Guest Quarters Lock:
---------------------------------
1: There's a battery to the left of the apple. Drag it to the battery receptacle
in the lower right of the screen
2: Rotate the pistol so it's pointing at the apple. When you have it positioned

bottles, and the lower lever pours out contents into the mixer below. Use
the levers to create a feed by combining ingredients from the bottles.
7: Use 2 doses from the Diamonds jar, 3 doses from the Spades jar, and 2 doses
from the Moon jar. Pull the lever on the mixer to create chicken feed. Turn
the crank on the box with the typing keys to cause the boot to kick the
chicken. The chicken will feed, then produce an egg.
8: Repeat the process using 2 doses from Moon jar, 1 dose from Spades jar, and
1 dose from Diamond jar.
9: There should now be four eggs in the carton. Use the dials on the right to
adjust the colors in each window to match the colors on the eggs. Click on
