How do I open the locked door?

  • 1 of 8: A key won't work.
  • 2 of 8: You'll need a bit of magic.
  • 3 of 8: In particular, you'll need a magic spray can.
  • 4 of 8: Solve the artist's canvas puzzle to receive it.
  • 5 of 8: Can you think of a good place to use the spray can?
  • 6 of 8: Use it on the canvas.  (Stand back from the canvas, just a bit.  Then click on the spray can.)
  • 7 of 8: The spray can paints a picture of the door in this room; except, in the picture, the door is open.
  • 8 of 8: The real door in this room will now be unlocked and useable.  (Move back from the canvas, and turn to the right.)
