Scratches Hints
Where can I find the hidden safe?
1 of 7: Well, traditionally, safes have always been hidden behind paintings.
2 of 7: There sure are a lot of pictures hanging around the house. Let's narrow the search down to the same floor that Michael's bedroom is on.
3 of 7: Still having trouble finding it? Standing with your back to the entrance to Michael's bedroom, take one step forward and turn left. Search in this bedroom.
4 of 7: The specific painting to look for is one of a lady.
5 of 7: Standing with your back to the entrance to this room, turn to the right and take one step forward.
6 of 7: You should see a painting of a lady all dressed in red. Go into a close-up of that portrait and search for a button, of sorts, that can be used to move the painting.
7 of 7: Notice the crystal ball she is holding? Click on it to reveal the safe.
