The Arrangement Hints
I found a crystal globe. Should I do something with it?
1 of 8: If you haven't found the globe, look in the upstairs hallway underneath the mirror. It sits inside the drawer on the left side.
2 of 8: To start the puzzle, first turn on the ball by clicking on the single button on the back of it. (Point your cursor slightly to the right of the crystal ball itself until you get an upward diagonal arrow. Click there to turn it around.)
3 of 8: The ball will rotate back around after the rear button is pushed. Click on any button to activate the ball and start the puzzle.
4 of 8: Now play a memory "Simon Says" type of game by mimicking the moves in sequence.
5 of 8: Each successive move builds upon what has already been done. Simply repeat what you see by clicking the proper buttons in order. If you make a mistake, you must start over from the beginning.
6 of 8: Number the buttons from 1 through 9 from top left to bottom right. The order is:
7 of 8: 1 4 1 5 8 3 8 9 2 9
8 of 8: Take the syringe (hypodermic needle) from the box.
