Art of Murder: FBI Confidential Hints
How do I work the light switches?
1 of 9: First off, use the casing.
2 of 9: There are five switches. When in the up position, they show blue, and when in the down position, they show red.
3 of 9: Mess around with them a little -- the puzzle is random, so you don't run the risk of messing anything up by experimenting.
4 of 9: Basically, the five lights in the warehouse (back, middle-left, middle-right, front-left, and front-right) will light in various random combinations when certain combinations of the switches are pressed.
5 of 9: There is no set solution here as the lights are random with each new game. So, I'm unable to give you any direct solution.
6 of 9: However, there is a very simple method to circumvent the puzzle, avoiding it entirely.
7 of 9: You don't need to have all five lights lit at once to do what needs to be done in the room.
8 of 9: To get to the rear section you just need the rear, and two right-hand lights lit. You will also need to look at the two left-hand areas, but you can switch the lights after doing so, avoiding the need to mess around for ages lighting all five at once.
9 of 9: I'll tell you in other questions what you'll need to do once the proper areas are lit, so for now, just play around until those lights are lit and you are able to do so.
