The Arrangement Hints

What is my objective here?

  • 1 of 10: This is an irritating little puzzle that has no clues and seems to have no rhyme or reason to it.  It's a matter of guesswork, but there is a set solution.
  • 2 of 10: If you examine your surroundings, you'll notice that the only clickable spots are the 2 large round balls on the block wall entrance.
  • 3 of 10: The correct number of clicks on the left ball, and then more clicks on hidden buttons on either side of the wall, will open a hidden panel beneath the right ball.  (Clicking on the right ball does nothing.)
  • 4 of 10: You'll need to expose a hidden button behind a brick on the left side of the wall -- in the 3rd row of bricks.
  • 5 of 10: Click the left ball 3 times to expose that button.  Press it.  Did you hear that sound?  (Note: A 4th turn of the left ball closes everything so you can start over if needed.)
  • 6 of 10: Turn right twice to look at the other side of the wall.
  • 7 of 10: Aha!  Another button has appeared in the bottom level on the right side.  Click on it and listen to a louder (closer?) sound.
  • 8 of 10: Turn left to face front again.  If you've done it correctly, a black rectangle block should be visible underneath the right ball.
  • 9 of 10: Get the gun from that space.  You are armed now.  It should be obvious what you're supposed to do.
  • 10 of 10: Point at the spider.  Crosshairs appear.  Click to shoot the spider!
