Safecracker: The Ultimate Puzzle Adventure Hints

How do I open this doorway with the lasers?

  • 1 of 7: Use the "special pipe key" (looks like a hex wrench to me, but never mind) from the dumbwaiter in The Kitchen on the panel. You can now enter the numbers by clicking on the knobs. But what numbers?
  • 2 of 7: Look at the wires. Notice that the same color wires are connected; that is, the red wires are all connect to other red wires and not to anything else. Weird! and kind of pointless; what good are wires that don't connect to anything?
  • 3 of 7: The wires must serve some other purpose, some non-electrical purpose. What if they were trying to convey some sort of message about the combination?
  • 4 of 7: This is a bit of a stretch, but see if you can see if the different colored wires might be in the shape of numbers. For example, the red wires could be a sort of a 3 shape. If you can't see the numbers, read this:
  • 5 of 7: Now, what order do they go in? Did you notice that the wires are in layers? That is, the green wires are on top of all the others; the red wires are on the very bottom.
  • 6 of 7: So enter the numbers you read from the wires, starting with the ones on top and ending with the ones on the bottom --
  • 7 of 7: -- 2493.
