Still Life Hints

Office: How do I open the door to the bomb squad room?

  • 1 of 13: A key is not going to work here.
  • 2 of 13: It seems that this is a highly secure area -- obviously for a reason.
  • 3 of 13: This may require a little more aggressive "breaking and entering".
  • 4 of 13: Look closely around the door to the bomb squad room.
  • 5 of 13: Zoom in on the small metal plate to the right of the door.
  • 6 of 13: Hmm...  don't know if we're going to be able to get by this one as easily as the fingerprint scanner.
  • 7 of 13: Victoria's comment, after clicking on the door to the bomb squad room, said "... maybe if I jolt the circuits it will open."
  • 8 of 13: Perhaps the electronic lock could be disabled.
  • 9 of 13: The plate seems to be held on with a few screws.
  • 10 of 13: Use a screwdriver on the bottom plate screw.
  • 11 of 13: Once you have removed the metal plate, a bunch of wires are exposed.  What can Victoria do to short-circuit the electronic lock?
  • 12 of 13: Perhaps a good jolt of electricity would overload the circuitry.
  • 13 of 13: Use Todd's taser on the exposed wires.
