PROGRESSIVE HINTS

Need a Nudge?

Progressive hints for each stage — start gentle, go bigger if you're really stuck.

The Star Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by cutting the vertical letter strips, keeping them attached to their potion sections. Then, cut out the five horizontal potion strips, separating them from the paper attached to their left side.

Take the five horizontal potion strips—blue, green, red, blue, and green—and weave them through the vertical strips according to the rules in the Potion Book.

At each intersection, two potions are combined, creating a specific effect on the letter at that position. Depending on the potion combination, a letter may remain unchanged, change to one of the potion colors, shrink, or disappear. Work through each intersection to determine the correct effect on every letter.

Once all potion effects have been applied, follow the reading direction indicated by the star to reveal the secret word.

The word corresponding to the star symbol is HEXED. Write down the word in the designated space in the newspaper.

The Diamond Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, identify the five letters that make up the secret word, with each letter encoded in Morse code.

Take the moth decoder and, one by one, fold out the horizontal bone strips on the back. For each strip, look at the ritual and find the candle symbol that matches the one shown at the base of that bone strip.

Starting from the matching candle symbol, follow the paths through the ritual until you reach multiple symbols. These symbols correspond to the ones shown at the base of the vertical strips on the decoder.

Fold out the matching vertical strips on the back of the decoder so they cover the horizontal bone strip. Once all the correct strips are folded into place, the bone sections reveal a Roman numeral, indicating the letter’s position in the secret word, and a Morse code letter.

Repeat the process for all five bone strips to reveal the complete secret word.

Once the photographs are correctly ordered and connected, examine the designs of the

four keys, especially how their teeth are grouped.

The first letter in Morse code is • — — —.

The second letter in Morse code is is • •.

The third letter in Morse code is — •.

The fourth letter in Morse code is is — •.

The fifth letter in Morse code is is • • •.

The word corresponding to the diamond symbol is JINNS. Write down the word in the designated space in the newspaper.

The Circle Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, take each doll card and place it on the center START tile. Pay attention to the four buttons on each doll, reading them from top to bottom, as they match the symbols found on the board.

Starting from the center, move from one space to another by following the doll’s buttons in order from top to bottom. After reaching the fourth button, return to the first and continue repeating the sequence until you reach the end of the path.

Repeat this process for all four dolls.

Each clue refers to the letters of the words written on that doll’s feet. Write down the four words and use the clues to determine the secret word.

Begin by eliminating the letters from the word HEART wherever they appear in the other words, then use the remaining clues to identify the individual letters and their correct positions in the five-letter secret word.

The word corresponding to the circle symbol is VOIDS. Write down the word in the designated space in the newspaper.

The Cross Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by identifying the starting point of the indicated path.

The first symbol under the sink is a tooth. Find the matching symbol among the eight pipe cards. The first example pairs tooth + brush, forming the word toothbrush, which is the first object in the path.

Continue in the same way, pairing symbols to form the compound words sunflower, rainbow, earring, butterfly, lipstick, fingerprint, crossword, lighthouse, and first aid. Each word is created by combining two matching symbol clues.

Once all eight pipe cards are paired and arranged correctly, their shapes reveal the letter outlines that spell the secret word oxeye.

The word corresponding to the cross symbol is OXEYE. Write down the word in the designated space in the newspaper.

The Moon Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, carefully follow the seating instructions.

Begin by placing Dracula in the seat marked by the only golden chalice on the table. Then place the three women in the required positions beside Dracula and directly opposite him. Each vampire must also have a chalice of blood at their place.

To make sure the correct female guest is seated opposite Dracula, use the fourth rule: the guest directly across from him must come from a different region.

Then, fill the remaining seats by following the final placement rule.

Once all guests are seated correctly, read the letters in front of the five indicated guests to reveal the secret word.

The word corresponding to the moon symbol is VIALS. Write down the word in the designated space in the newspaper.

Revealing the Final Code

To reveal the final code, write down the five secret words you uncovered, one for each symbol.

Then, take the four strips and use them with the completed 5 × 5 letter grid formed by those words. For each strip, identify the illustrated letter pattern within the grid.

Each pattern highlights a set of letters that spells out a digit.

The first digit is SEVEN.

The second digit is SIX.

The third digitis ONE.

The fourth digit is NINE.

The final code of the game is 7619. Enter it at the top of the page to check it.
