Hi I’m stuck in several places. Cant obtain the letter R from the stores, plus the key for the scul puzzle, then there’s another fuse to find for the telephone to be connected, should then be able to get through the door into the back yard. Then there is the puzzle on the drawing board in the school house that i have no idea on. Then what about that game of hit the Trolls? can’t get anywhere with that.Then in the childrens room there is this ball with a clown on it, that keeps moving, i think there is something inside that, but how to break it i have no idea. then the last bit is do we have to find a way outside that passage into the sea, where the kids escaped? Please can anyone help me on any of these problems? Thanks

Hi,

Wait til you get to the trolls! The fireplace–you need the moon piece. It is around the neck of the female statue off to the right side of the house. You have to provide her with the flower hanging above the trunk on the porch. For this you need the garden clippers–they are provided you in one of the searches. You also need the sun piece–I forget where that one is. There are two symbols– one on the left side which goes on the right side (they move if you click on them) and one on the right side which goes on the left side. I can remember more if you need me to.

July 12, 2010 at 7:45 am

just skip the puzzle if you are pretty stuck and if u really wanna know the end of the story..anyway, you can start all over again if you still haunted by the thoughts that you’d skip some puzzles..

i finished it and i admit that i skipped some puzzles on the door, but i really enjoyed the telephone power part, the shield part, and freeing rose sommerset.. maybe in a rate of 100 percent i only solved the 80% and skipped 20% of it..
well, im going to go back to the puzzles once i got some time cause i just really wanna know the end of the story thats why i skipped some of it.

to move from card to card, click the gold arrows on the side.
you need to look the various clues and solve them.
note: there are 00’s in front of the actual answers because you need to insert 3 numbers.
Clubs = Telescope (weather vane): here you need to subtract the numbers 472 – 172 = 300
Diamonds = Schoolhouse (blackboard): her you need to multiply by the 3 which is by the diamond by 2 = 006
Spade = Buoy (note): the difference between the numbers 9 and 14 where the spade is located = 005
Heart = Plaque (entrance to Ravenhearst): 8 + 8 = 16 + 2 = 18 + 18 = 36 + 2 = 38 + 2 = 076
move the arrow to the card you want to do and line up the numbers in the center.
you will hear a shrill sound when it’s correct.
go onto the next card.
when you are finished, click the handle to go down 1 level, click it again to stop at the very bottom.
exit into the Underground Chamber.
Underground Chamber

turn right and click the base of the statue to enter and receive a jeweled heart.
read the note by the candles in the front, left side.
zoom in on the statue and take the locket from the statues hands.
go back out and go left into the study.
click the book on the podium.
click the picture over the desk. (does anyone else see a resemblance to Harry Potter’s Voldemort?)
go back out to the door and zoom in.
place the locket in the center.
a place for 10 hearts will appear but we only have 2, you must scour the entire game for the other 8 which could be anywhere.
these locations will vary for every game!
when you have all 10 place them anywhere on the door and enter Charles Room.
