Art of Murder: FBI Confidential Hints

How can I get out of the shop?

  • 1 of 15: You're going to need to find a way to first unlock the door, and then get the metal shutters up so you can get out onto the street beyond.
  • 2 of 15: Once the door's open, we can start work on the shutters.
  • 3 of 15: First off, try the lever beside the door.
  • 4 of 15: Hmm, not working? Perhaps the mechanism is broken?
  • 5 of 15: Is there any way to access the mechanism from here?
  • 6 of 15: You need to get that panel above the shutter lever open.
  • 7 of 15: What might one use in place of a screwdriver to remove those screws?
  • 8 of 15: Something we just used to get a cabinet open, perhaps?
  • 9 of 15: Use the coin to remove the four screws.
  • 10 of 15: Now, you need to find a way to fix the mechanism. A ratchet is missing.
  • 11 of 15: Find an alternative.
  • 12 of 15: You have a good half-dozen viable "alternatives" left in your inventory.
  • 13 of 15: There's only one that will work, though, so I'm afraid some more trial and error is required.
  • 14 of 15: Try the keys on the mechanism one at a time until you find the right one.
  • 15 of 15: Once you have done so, use the lever once more to open the shutters, enabling you to escape.
