Hints may be broken down into multiple steps to help you open the next lock. There is also an 'evidence hint' button if you need help deciphering the evidence to narrow down your suspect list. Click the 'home' button to return to this screen.

​

Each hint is password protected so that you cannot skip ahead. The password for each hint is the same as the code you used to open that box and will provide clues to help you solve the next puzzle. For example, if you just unlocked the black box and cannot figure out the next puzzle, you would click on the hint titled ‘Hint 3: Black Box’ and use the password that opened that box, for example 123.

​

Please note that if the last thing you opened used a key, then the hint password will be the code from the previous lock you opened. Also, the passwords for all word locks should be entered in capital letters and the passwords for number locks should be entered without dashes.
