Journey to the Center of the Earth Hints

How can I open the Lab Safe?

  • 1 of 7: To get back up to the Lab, click on the triangular panel again.  (Luckily you don't need to do the puzzle over!)  If you don't get a "hand" icon on the safe, talk to some of the people below.
  • 2 of 7: Go to the Operations Bldg. (Supervisor's platform) and talk to Adam about everything.
  • 3 of 7: Did you read the piece of paper on the floor of Supervisor's Platform (Operations Bldg.)?
  • 4 of 7: It said:  Add the Black Diamond Powder to the acidic solution and the White Diamond Powder to the basis solution.
  • 5 of 7: To figure out how to crack the safe, remember what Adam told you.
  • 6 of 7: First, figure out what is in each of the tubes.
  • 7 of 7: Then, based on your results, add the correct Diamond Powder to each one.  You want all of them to turn CLEAR.  If done correctly, you'll be able to click on the handle and open the safe.
