  • 2 of 5: It helps to be able to see.
  • 3 of 5: Look for levers, switches and buttons to push/pull.  They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors.  And, they all have a purpose.
  • 4 of 5: Locked or closed doors can be opened one way or another.  Look for keys, switches, and pressure plates.  There are also secret passages that must be found.
