The Mystery of the Mummy Hints

What do I do with the panel to the right of the door?

  • 1 of 8: This puzzle won't be active until you've solved other puzzles first. 
  • 2 of 8: Sherlock says "I need something to open it".  This is rather misleading -- you do not need to bring an item to this panel to open it.  When you've solved enough puzzles, simply return to the panel to interact with it.
  • 3 of 8: Before you can solve this puzzle, you'll need to figure out what to do with the desk in the same room.
  • 4 of 8: This sliding tile puzzle is not unusual.
  • 5 of 8: Your goal is to move the tiles one-at-a-time, until the picture is unscrambled.
  • 6 of 8: It's easiest to make out the pieces required, if you start working on the top row first.
  • 7 of 8: Continue by assembling the second row (from the top).
  • 8 of 8: You'll need to solve the bottom two rows simultaneously.
