Puzzle Solutions

Chalkboard solution

Draw the coligraphy 'M" on the chalkboard. (only needed to write the first 3 lines.)
You can find instructions on how to do so in a book from the book vendor.


If you don't get a dialog that says "That looks right" or something similar; then the game will think you didn't solve the puzzle.


now read the letters not marked by the m
[knockx5buzzx4] which becomes [knock x5 buzz x4]
so knock on the door 5 times then hit the buzzer 4 times

tip: How to read a book: move mouse to right side and next page button will appear
