Arrival

  • So, you’re back in the 1950’s, sitting outside Graceland as Elvis begins moving in.
  • Click on the rear door to the van and note that it won’t stay open.
  • Take the ROLL OF CARPET underneath the van – what, you’re supposed to carry this thing around everywhere? Have you even tried carrying a roll of carpet around on your own?
  • Look inside the front of the van and note the glove compartment that won’t open. 
  • Head to the front of the house.
     

Front

  • Note the scaffolding and the item out of reach, and the pieces of stained glass missing over the entry.
  • Next, enter the foyer.
     

Foyer

  • Take the BUNGEE CORD hanging on the stair banister. 
  • Then glance inside the box to the left of the planter and take note of the to-do list.
  • Exit back outside to the van and use the BUNGEE CORD to keep the rear roller door open.
  • Zoom in to initiate the next HOA puzzle
     

Can HOA

  • Pick up all the items circled in red, after which you’ll receive the HANDTRUCK. 
  • Head back into the house and turn right into the living room.
     

Living Room

  • The idea is to use the HANDTRUCK to move all the boxes out of the way.
  • The basic rule is that you can only use the hand truck to push a box from a side that either isn’t abutting another box or doesn’t have a pallet next to it.
  • Also note that  that when pushing a box, the hand truck will push it all the way in that direction until it runs up against something – this is important to note.
  • Use the accompanying video clip as a guide –  it can be done more quickly, but it worked! The puzzle doesn’t have a reset, so I was learning as I was going!
     

 

Carpet

  • Next comes the task of laying the carpet.
  • The rolls vary in size and the direction they lay.
  • The trick is to make them all fit into the rectangle.
  • Look at the screenshot for the solution.
     

Mother

  • Return to the foyer and head to Elvis’ mother’s room. 
  • Take the LADDER, then zoom in on the open suitcase on the bed and take the STAINED GLASS pieces.
  • Exit, and head outside to the front of the house.
     

 

Front

  • Use the LADDER to climb the scaffolding and reach the CAN OF PAINT.
  • Then zoom in on the area over the door and put the STAINED GLASS pieces in place to initiate the next puzzle.
     

Glass Puzzle

  • The idea is to reorient the glass pieces to make sense of the whole thing.
  • Refer to the screenshot to make sense of the final product.
  • When complete return inside to Gladys’ room.
     

 

Paint

  • Place the CAN OF PAINT next to the roller, at which point the paint job in the room will be completed.
  • Note that something is missing on the dresser.
  • Return back outside to the foyer and head to the right into the dining room.
     

Dining

  • Help yourself to the BUTTERKNIFE sitting on the dining table.
  • Note the point that the boxes need to be opened, then head back out through the foyer and head over to the van.
     

 

Glovebox Van

  • Use the BUTTERKNIFE to prize open the glove box.
  • Take the BOXKNIFE lying inside and head back into the house and over to the dining room
     

Dining

  • Use the BOX KNIFE on the box to the right and take the FINE CHINA. 
  • Place the china in the cabinet to the left to initiate the next puzzle.
     

 

China Puzzle

  • The aim of this puzzle is to orientate the plates so that the edge symbols match up directly to the neighboring china.
  • Clicking on the plates rotates them.
  • See the screenshot for the solution.
  • When complete return to the foyer.
     

Foyer

  • Zoom in on the nearby box with the to-do list, noting that all the tasks have now been completed.
  • Pick up the list, at which point another layer will receive itself in the box, showing Gladys’ MUSIC BOX.
  • Pick it up and head to her bedroom.
     

 

Gladys

  • Enter the bedroom and place the MUSIC box on top of the dresser.
  • All is now well in Elvis world.
  • Watch the resulting clip, after which you’ll be returned to the present.
