Overview: You play and Inspector granted access to an old and supposedly haunted Opera House, can you solve the riddles and mystery within?

Tips & Tricks: You can play either as Archaeologist which is a timed mode or Apprentice which is not timed, has more hints, and an alternate ending.

Hints: You begin the game with 5 hints only. You can earn additional hints by playing optional puzzles (see Puzzles). You will not get new hints with a new stage, so use them carefully!

Note: unlike most games, the hints will not sparkle but tell you where to look in the same place the riddle appears.

How to Play: You click a music note or block at the bottom and read the riddle. The answer to each riddle is hidden somewhere in the room. Once you solve the riddle, find the item and click on it.

Note: not everyone will get the same exact riddles, therefore I have not listed them as there are many, if you are stuck on a riddle however, I'm sure you could find some answers in the forums.

Puzzles: Puzzles can be solved by clicking the hammer or Force button, but at the cost of hints and time. Some puzzles are optional and do not need to be solved to progress through the game but will earn you bonus hints.

Journal Puzzle (Optional)

1. place the puzzle piece (left side) on the grid so the adjacent music pieces match
2. when you pick up the puzzle piece you will see what you need to match it to
3. this is actually much easier than it sounds
4. example: if it shows a note on the left and bottom, but not the right or top, then the piece would have to be placed in the right, top corner
5. the hints will not carry over from one stage to another, so if you don't need them, don't bother with these puzzles
