INTRODUCTION and NOTES:
Well, I've just seen the ending sequence on CD #2. I solved all the
puzzles except for the Microscope puzzle. I had to go to the Help Book
three times to get past it. I have to say that this is one of the coolest
game's I have EVEN seen. I really enjoyed the graphics, music (be sure
to play the songs on CD 2 in your audio CD player, some great music!)
and the puzzles. I enjoyed the ending though I thought it was a bit
short. Be sure to read the credits at the end, if anyone gets through
to the Best Girl I'd like to know how she was!
See you at Stauf's house,
Neil

We make no guarantees as to the accuracy of these solutions. While I've
tried to make this text as accurate as possible I cannot guarantee that it
is 100 percent correct.
Also note that these solution have not been optimized. There may be MUCH
better ways to solve them.

Spiders on the Star:
OBJECTIVE: Cover all the purple circles around the edge of the star
with spiders. NOTE: The puzzle is won when all but one
circles have been covered with a spider. The spiders
will move alone one of the lines from the starting
circle to the ending circle.
SOLUTION:

OR
- Click any purple circle to start.
- Click on either purple circle connected via the lines to the
one from step 1 to have the spider move to there.
- Pick a purple circle so that after the spider moves he will
be on the circle from step #1 above.
- Click on the circle from step #1 above to have the spider move
to it.
- Pick a purple circle so that after the spider moves he will
be on the circle from step #3 above.
- Click on the circle from step #3 above to have the spider move
to it.
Continue this way around the star, picking a spot so that the spider
can move to the place you CREATED the last spider on.
Skulls and Headstones in my cake:
OBJECTIVE: All 6 guest's need to receive an equal share of cake. The
problem is that the pieces given to each guest must touch
on a side. The final shape of the pieces for each guest
doesn't matter.
The S's represent sections with a SKULL, the H's sections with a Headstone.
The section without an H or S are just icing.
Solution:
Click on all 5 pieces with the number 1. After they fly from the cake
click on all 2's, then 3's, 4's, 5's and finally 6's. All 6 guests
received 5 pieces total consisting of 2 skulls, 2 headstones and 1 icing.

aMAZEing, isn't it?
OBJECTIVE: Find your way through the maze to the basement. Another puzzle
awaits you there. NOTE: The room with the Bishop puzzle has
a maze on a carpet. This is also the map to the basement.
The maze is recreated below. The lengths of sections in the
actual maze seem different than the map indicates even though
the overall relationship of openings etc. seems correct.

Can's in the pantry:
OBJECTIVE: Rearrange the can's so that they make a complete sentence. The
only VOWEL is Y.
Here is a hint from the game:
Bashful nomad, craftily, agilely, meet secretly near my
underground vault.
And here is the final solution:
Shy
gypsy slyly
spryly tryst
by my crypt
Grating - Ain't it?
OBJECTIVE: Move the grate parts around so that the circle cut in two
of them is over the opening. The bottom one protects you from
the spikes.
I've numbered the six position's of the grates like this:
1 2 3
4 5 6
Click on these position's to arrange the grates so that you
can get through:
5
6
3
2
5
4
1
2 (The top circle should be in position 1)
5
6
3
2
5 (The bottom circle should be in position 2)
4

5 (You should now have a completed circle)
Bishop's needing a change:
OBJECTIVE: Swap the bishop's out, white to black.
Notes:
- You DO not have to move White/Black/White/Black etc.
You can start with Black or White AND can move multiple
Black or White Bishop's in a row.
SOLUTION: By numbering the board as show follow the moves in the
numerical order under the #'s columns.
(IE: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc)

All Bishop's should now be swapped.
Crypt in the basement:
OBJECTIVE: Get the lid's all closed before the dead escape.
There are 9 coffins arranged like this:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
(You)
Clicking to open/close the lid on one affects the ones around it
like this: (X) is the one clicked - n means no change in the lid.
n 2 n 1 n n n n 3 1(2)3 n n n
4(5)6 (4)n n n n(6) n n n n n n
n 8 n 7 n n n n 9 n n n 7(8)9
(1)2 n n n n n 2(3) n n n
4 5 n 4 5 n n 5 6 n 5 6
n n n (7)8 n n n n n 8(9)
Notice that clicking 2,4,6 or 8 has no effect on 5.
One more thing: Several times while trying to click on #9 I managed to
instead click while the right beckoning hand was displayed. This exits
the puzzle early. Be sure you have the EYE before clicking in a coffin.
Although I am sure there is a nice algorithm for this solution I still
have not found it. I have managed to solve it by brute force only.
By resetting the puzzle I usually find a fairly easy one to solve within
a few minutes.
Knights in the Bathroom:
OBJECTIVE: Swap the Black and White Knights.
Solution: I've solved this through brute force. It took enough moves
that I don't plan to document it here.

Through the Microscope:
OBJECTIVE: You are Blue, have more blue pieces left at the end of the game.
To create a new Blue move one square in any direction. You can
more up to two squares in ANY direction including diagonals,
you may jump other cells.

This is the PIT's:
OBJECTIVE: Make your way along the colored bricks to reach the FINISH
block. There is a methodology you need to follow to complete
this.
HINTS: You do not need to step om all the colored bricks to win.
Every third brick you step on needs to be purple.
When stepping on the FINISH brick it must be the third in that
sequence.
LAYOUT: FINISH

Flip Picture:
OBJECTIVE: Using the control buttons around the edges retore the picture
back to it's correct state. Each time the puzzle is restated
it is scrambled different.
SOLUTION: When the picture is displayed correctly before being scrambled
the squares of it are numbered 1 to 9 as show below. Memorize
the section and it's number as shown below.
BUTTONS: Clicking on B1 increments the picture shown in squares 1,4 and 7
to the next picture in sequence. If picture 9 was shown then
picture 1 is displayed in that square.
Clicking on B2 increments squares 2,5 and 8.
Clicking on B3 increments squares 3,6 and 9.
Clicking on buttons B7,B8 or B9 decrement their column.
Clicking on buttons B10,B11 or B12 increment the picture on
their row.
Clicking on buttons B4,B5 or B6 decrement their row.
(Next Picture)

(Previous Picture)
Note: I had the best luck resetting the puzzle until I got one that had
the same pattern in columns 1 and 2. I was then able to increment
column 3 to the same pattern. I was then able to increment row 1
and 2 until all 9 squares had the SAME picture. I then set column
2 to the picture before column 3. I then set column 1 to be the
picture before column 2. I then decremented the rows 1 and 2 until
I had the complete picture.
Spelling Blocks:
OBJECTIVE: Rearrange the blocks to spell the correct three words.
CONTROL: Clicking on the TOP of a column slides the lower two
blocks up, the top one goes to the bottom. The opposite
is true by clicking on the BOTTOM of a column.
Clicking on the RIGHT edge of a row slides the row to the
right. The rightmost block goes to the left edge. Again the
opposite is true for the LEFT edge.
The blocks always initialize to the same configuration:
+---+---+---+
| D | A | T |
+---+---+---+
| Y | O | B |
+---+---+---+
| T | E | G |
+---+---+---+
SOLUTION: To solve the puzzle rearrange the letters to spell the words
+---+---+---+
| G | E | T |
+---+---+---+
| B | O | Y |
+---+---+---+
| T | A | D |
+---+---+---+

this solution using very simple C program on 486/33....
Piano Bar:
OBJECTIVE: Follow the song through 18 notes repeating in a 'Follow the
leader' type of game.
SOLUTION: I taped a piece of paper to my screen and marked all the keys
on it. Then I numbered the keys 1,2,3...18 as they were
played.
I believe this is the Sequence - Only part of the Keyboard is shown.
I've entered this in two different formats, use the one you find easiest
to follow.

The musical solution is:
Follow the Leader through the 18 note melody by playing the following keys. The
Piano pictured is an accurate repro of a real piano.
Play in sequence:
Low B, up an octave to B, F#, G, E, D#, E, F#, E, Low B, up an octave to B, C,
B, A, G, F#, E, F#.
For those who have a little trouble, it may help to remind that 'B' is located
to the right of any three key black sequence.
Stauf's Face:
OBJECTIVE: Restore Stauf's face to normal.
NOTES: This is simular to the crypt puzzle except that each section
of the puzzle can be in THREE states. The sequence like this:
+-> NORMAL --> Red --> Green --+ (Or is it Green --> Red?)
| |
+------------------------------+
There are 9 sections arranged like this:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
Clicking to change a section affects the ones around it like this:
(X) is the one clicked - n means no change in the piece.
n 2 n 1 n n n n 3 1(2)3 n n n
4(5)6 (4)n n n n(6) n n n n n n
n 8 n 7 n n n n 9 n n n 7(8)9
(1)2 n n n n n 2(3) n n n
4 5 n 4 5 n n 5 6 n 5 6
n n n (7)8 n n n n n 8(9)
Notice that clicking 2,4,6 or 8 has no effect on 5.
NOTE: I kept resetting this one until I got a setup that seemed
logical to clear.
SkyScraper
OBJECTIVE: Find the proper path throught the windows to clear each section.
SOLUTION: You start on the BOTTOM section, click on window #1 and follow
then in order. Some of them will automatically turn on when
another is clicked. Click the next on that needs to be lite
when some are automatically turned on.
