Turn left 3 times, then go forward, right 3 times, left, right, forward, right and left to reach the crypt. You now need to close all the coffins at the same time; clicking on one also affects the adjacent coffins but the starting position is random so a specific solution is not possible.

Windows Puzzle

Go through this door and upstairs into the attic. Examine the model building on the right - the goal is to reach the top of the building by going from 1 window to the next. Each type of window allows you to move only in one direction, which you set the first time you click after selecting that type of window. Start at window 6 from the left, then go up, right, left and down. Select window 3 on the next level, then window 2 on the top level. Go through the far door to complete the game.
