Scratches Hints
How do I get into the garage?
1 of 8: Initially, the garage is locked with a chain and padlock.
2 of 8: There is no other entrance, nor do we want to be destructive to the building. So this will require finding a key to the padlock.
3 of 8: The key can be found in plain view (so to speak), in one of the rooms in the house.
4 of 8: The room is on the 3rd floor -- and not a very intuitive place to look for the garage key.
5 of 8: Go into the paint room (the room that you enter from behind the wooden stairs that go up to the tower level).
6 of 8: Look carefully on the table containing the various cans of colored paint.
7 of 8: The key can be found to the right (and slightly below) the can of green paint.
8 of 8: Use this silver key on the padlock to the garage, and it will be unlocked.
