The Secret Files: Tunguska Hints

How do I get the film projector working?

  • 1 of 15: There's no point trying this until you've got a reel of film to use on the thing.
  • 2 of 15: If you have, keep going; if you haven't, solve some other puzzles, like that of the compass, first.
  • 3 of 15: You can place the film reel into the projector, ready for use once we've sorted things.
  • 4 of 15: First off, you need to bring some light into the room.
  • 5 of 15: By cleaning the windows outside.
  • 6 of 15: Now, if you try to use the projector, you will learn that the bulb has burned out.
  • 7 of 15: We will need to create a replacement shiny surface for the light to reflect off of.
  • 8 of 15: There's a piece of reflective material in the house.
  • 9 of 15: It might be hard to find, because it was covered in dirt.
  • 10 of 15: It's in the fireplace, a piece of aluminum foil.
  • 11 of 15: You will need something made of glass to wrap it around so it will slide into the slot on the camera.
  • 12 of 15: That item is in the room too.
  • 13 of 15: There's a shard on the floor.
  • 14 of 15: Use the foil on the shard, then pop it in the projector.
  • 15 of 15: Provided the windows are clean, the replacement "bulb" is in, and the reel of film is in, the projector will work.
