Go forward along the hallway and pick up the video cassette from the boxes on the left. Also notice the gauge here. Look at the double doors half way along the hallway, and note the 5 symbols over the doors. Looking at the video cassette, these correspond with the letters X, H, Y, L, F. Look at the gauge again to see these letters correspond with the numbers 2, 4, 1, 6, 8. Look at the keypad next to the doors and enter the code 24168. Go through the doors.

Pick up the vase here.

Go around the hallway again until you find a small table where you can place the vase. Take the door key. Continue to the end of the hallway and use this to get through the locked door.

Look at the dice on the bench to the right. Each column contains dice that are gradually rotated, so the ones on the right should have these numbers:

• Red: 4
• White: 3
• Blue: 6

Now look at the desk, which has 4 boxes (blue, red, white, red). Open the briefcase with a combination based on these colors and the numbers from the dice puzzle: 6434. Take out the metal piece. Return to the start of the hallway with the hidden room and insert your metal piece into the wall panel. Arrange the Roman numerals to match the picture of 4 clocks:

Enter another secret room behind the picture of 4 clocks. Look at the bookshelf on the right, and note the positions of the 4 shells. Now examine the set of 4 levers, and set their positions according to the shells. From left to right, set the levers to these positions:

• Very top
• Second from bottom
• Very bottom
• Second from top

Head back around the hallway and through the new entrance.

Gallery

Look at the Villa Maintenance note on the wall, which has 5 employee numbers. Turn around to see a series of levers. You need to flip the levers to point to the letters corresponding with the employee numbers (A=1, B=2, etc):

• Up (F=6)
• Down (G=7)

Now the bars will open and you can enter the main area. Explore around to the right to find a picture with 4 numbers around a large cross. Go back to a set of small cupboards and press the cupboard doors corresponding to the symbols on the green box above: 2, 2, 9, 5, 3. Take the letter from the green box once it opens.

Next head over to a painting of a grid of numbers around to the left. Here you need to complete the numbers in the grid. Along each row, you must subtract 11 to get from one number to the next. The completed square is as follows:

Take the notepad that appears from the side of the painting. Read this carefully, then go to the locked case on a table at the base of the stairs and open it with the code 837. Take out the metal dial. Go over to the desk with the cans and bottles. A wine bottle is worth 1800, and a can is worth 1, therefore the missing number is 1801. Enter this code, then take the circular button.

Go up the stairs and examine the wooden panel here. After automatically inserting the circular button, you need to arrange the buttons to match similar symbols on the top of wooden banisters around the room. If the arrangement of the shapes is as follows:

Place the buttons in these positions:

1. Pentagon
2. Diamond

Go through to find a padlock on the next gate. Look up to a symbol high up on the side of the building - this has 4 columns of various heights (1, 3, 2, 4). Enter the code 1324 into the padlock to open it. There is a panel next to the door that leads back inside. Go back and look at the gravestones to see markers on their backs. You need to press buttons based on these markers, in the same order as you used the grave stones earlier:

Now you can head back inside.

Level 1

Read the newspaper on the dining table to the left. Examine the clocks on the wall here and note their times (8:19, 11:12, 6:09, 9:02). The differences in times are 2:53, 6:57, 2:53. Set the time on the bottom clock to 3:59 (which is 6:57 after the fourth clock). Look at the 5 symbols on the panel that appears in the shelves here.

Continue along the room, and look at the piece of paper with a grid of letters on a desk on the right side of the room. Now head to the guitar at the far end of the room. You need to play strings according to the 5 symbols from the panel in the shelves and the grid of letters on the desk: G, A, E, e, D. Take the metal token from the side of the amplifier. Examine the cassette tape recorder on the table here, and you will automatically play your cassette tape Inside Knowledge.

Return along the corridor and insert your metal token on the small metal box. Now you must move the tokens to complete a valid equation: 16 + 4 × 2 - 7 = 33. Take the door key. Use this on the door to return outside.
