The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How can I reveal the paper's hidden message?
1 of 7: By using the candle. Most forms of hidden writing are revealed when heated up, you know.
2 of 7: You can light the candle by clicking on it after selecting the matches in inventory, but you can't use the blank paper directly on the candle.
3 of 7: That must be what the rope is set up for. You apparently need to pin the paper onto the rope somehow.
4 of 7: After the paper is pinned to the rope, click on the rope to get a close-up view of the paper and the candle.
5 of 7: You'll then need to move the candle around to reveal words and numbers on the paper.
6 of 7: Click every time you see something to get it to appear on a paper scrap along the bottom of the screen.
7 of 7: There are five words and three numbers that you need to find. Once you get them all on paper scraps, the candle will automatically be set down.
