The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How can I open the box with the four dials on it?
1 of 6: Click on it to get a close-up of it, then move the cursor around on it to see what hotspots there are.
2 of 6: There's no point in messing with the four dials yet. Try rotating the box view around so you can see more of it.
3 of 6: To do that, click and hold while the cursor isn't on one of the dials, then move the mouse around.
4 of 6: Check all five of the other sides of the box for interesting items.
5 of 6: Four of those sides have little sets of numbers etched into them. Turn the box to where you can see a set of numbers, then examine them to get Watson to note them down.
6 of 6: Rotate the box around until you've found and examined all four number sets, after which you'll get the box's puzzle screen.
