The 7th Guest Hints
Crypt Puzzle (Maze)
1 of 7: Even in Stauf's mansion, the dead would like to rest in peace.
2 of 7: Your goal is to close all of the coffin lids.
3 of 7: Look for a pattern to which lids open or close when you click on an individual lid.
4 of 7: There's really a simple pattern that you'll find if you just watch closely.
5 of 7: Whenever you click on one of the four corners, that lid and the three lids close to it (in the shape of a square) flip.
6 of 7: If you click on an edge that's not a corner, all three lids on that edge will be flipped.
7 of 7: And if you click on the center lid, all lids except for the corners are flipped (the ones that do change are in the shape of a "+").
