The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints

How can I get this door open?

  • 1 of 5: You're fresh out of lockpicks, so look for its key.
  • 2 of 5: I've got bad news for you. It's back in the fancy bedroom, on the other side of the "plank you very much" maze.
  • 3 of 5: You'll find the key on the round table that's to the left of the bedroom door.
  • 4 of 5: Pick it up, then recross the plank maze the same way you crossed it the first time.
  • 5 of 5: Select the key in inventory, then click on the locked door to open it.
