The 7th Guest Hints
Card Puzzle (Bedroom on Right)
1 of 6: What Stauf says to you is a pretty good explanation of the rules, even if it is oversimplified.
2 of 6: Basically, you need to flip all of the cards by moving up, down, and side to side (left or right).
3 of 6: But you'll notice that the first card puzzle is literally impossible to complete if you only move one space at a time. There's a trick here that you may notice by observing where the cursor is active.
4 of 6: First of all, you can skip over spaces, as long as you keep moving in a straight line. So on the first puzzle, it's legal to move from the bottom left corner to the bottom right one.
5 of 6: The final twist covers cards after they've been flipped.
6 of 6: Flipped cards are treated just like spaces -- you can jump over them, as long as you don't also jump over an unflipped card at the same time.
