Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure Hints
How do I open the safe with the magnets and the ball?
1 of 6: The point of this little game is to get the ball into one of the black holes. Clicking on the magnets on the edges of the board make the ball roll in that direction as far as it can. If there's a bar in the way, the marble stops; if there isn't, it goes off the edge and the game resets.
2 of 6: As far as I can tell, only one of the black holes can be reached --
3 of 6: -- and that's the one at the lower right side of the board. Concentrate on that one.
4 of 6: This is another situation where you might find it easier to work from both ends. Try imagining the ball's path from the hole backwards and see how far you get. When you can't get it any farther, try imagining it from the place where it starts to the place where you got stuck. When the two paths connect, you're ready to roll.
5 of 6: There may be other ways to get there, but here's the one I used. Click on the top, bottom, right, and left magnets in this order:
6 of 6: Top - Right - Bottom - Left - Bottom - Right - Bottom - Left - Top - Right - Top - Right - Top - Right - Bottom - Right - Bottom - Left - Top - Right - Bottom
