New York Mysteries 6

Enter apartment 14, uncover the hidden safe and open the nightstand drawer.

1. 1
   Use KEY 14 on the apartment 14 door in the Residential building corridor. The morphing object in the living room is the car seen through the lower part of the right-hand window. New task: search Donnelly's apartment. Collectible: Record 4/9 near the table lamp.
2. 2
   In the bedroom, take the SCREWDRIVER from the bed pillows. Remove the four screws of the wall vent with it. Behind the vent is a wall safe with a symbol dial, and a KEY lies in the vent – take it.
3. 3
   Use the KEY on the bedroom nightstand drawer to open its gear lock.
4. 4
   Gear lock: three gears – cream at the bottom left, copper at the top left and red at the bottom right – each miss a wedge of their own colour. Click a wedge to move it along the tracks; the yellow dots show where it can stop. A wedge must face the right way to fit, so turn it on the round centre hub or at the blue and green button stations on the right first. Fit each wedge into the gap of its matching gear. One order that works: complete the cream gear first, then the red, then the copper.

   

5. 5
   Read the channel-switch note in the drawer. Its PASSWORD row shows the left knob pointing right (horizontal) and the right knob pointing down-left (diagonal). Take the LIGHT BULB.

The TV needs a knob and a plug adapter. Open the coffee kiosk to get a quarter for the lobby vending machine.

1. 1
   In the living room, open the centre door (a dark storage closet). Screw the LIGHT BULB into the wall socket and take the MOP.
2. 2
   In the Residential lobby, use the MOP on the ceiling lamp with the red ribbon and take the SWITCH (a knob).
3. 3
   Attach the SWITCH to the TV as its left knob. Laura notes that the TV plug does not fit the wall outlet and that she needs an adapter from the lobby vending machine, which takes a quarter. Take the CUP from the fruit bowl beside the TV.
4. 4
   On 7th Avenue, place the SPOON and then the CUP on the plaque of the coffee kiosk shutter. The shutter opens.
5. 5
   Kiosk scene, part 1: move the napkin box and take the DRAWER KNOB. Put it on the counter drawer and take the HANDLE. Fit the HANDLE on the grinder hopper clamp and take the FLAME FIGURINE. Take the STIRRER beside the ice bucket. Use it through the mesh cabinet to hook a KEY, then use the KEY on the cash register to get the COFFEE BEANS emblem.
6. 6
   Kiosk scene, part 2: take the ORANGE KNOB from the cup shelf on the right and fit it on the radio. Take the ICE PICK from the glasses at top left and chip the ice bucket three times to free the second ORANGE KNOB. Fit it on the radio and take the CEZVE emblem from the drawer that opens. Place the cezve, the flame figurine and the coffee beans on the cabinet plaque. Inside the cabinet, take the QUARTER from the jar.
7. 7
   In the Residential lobby, insert the QUARTER in the blue vending machine and take the ADAPTER.

Tune the TV to the password setting, note the four symbols and enter them on the bedroom safe dial.

1. 1
   Place the ADAPTER in the wall outlet to the right of the TV.
2. 2
   Turn on the TV and set the knobs to the PASSWORD row of the nightstand note: left knob pointing right, right knob pointing down-left. A show opening displays four large symbols: a Y-shaped curl, a looped leaf, a triangle with an inner spiral and a double curl.

   

3. 3
   Bedroom safe dial: ten symbols surround a pointer. The "3" and "5" buttons set the step size, and the curved arrows turn the pointer that many places left or right. Stopping on an unlit symbol lights it green, and wrong symbols light up too. Stopping again on a lit wrong symbol switches it off. The safe opens when exactly the four TV symbols are lit, so switch off any wrong symbol you have lit.

   

4. 4
   The safe holds a letter and money. A cutscene follows and Laura ends up in the sewers.

Refuel the bulldozer to power the jackhammer, then open the green toolbox to climb out.

1. 1
   Click the morphing object at the lower left near the lamp and rubble. Take the COAT OF ARMS from the puddle at centre left and fit it on the UMBRELLA handle. The handle opens: read the "412" vial and take the gold SWITCH.
2. 2
   Take the HANDLE (green lever handle) from the left puddle and the LOTUSES (2/3) from the side of the bulldozer engine. The fuel cap shows the bulldozer is out of fuel. Collectible: Record 5/9 in the upper-right arch. Take the FUNNEL from the rubble by the cracked brick wall (a jackhammer stands beside it).
3. 3
   Fit the HANDLE on the bulldozer cab door. Take the FLASHLIGHT and the FEATHERS (1/5) from the cab, then the GAS CAN from under the blade.
4. 4
   Put the FUNNEL in the fuel tank and pour in the GAS CAN. Operate the jackhammer on the cracks until the wall breaks, then light the dark passage with the FLASHLIGHT.
5. 5
   In the second tunnel, click the morphing object on the floor at centre left. Zoom into the pipes on the right: Collectible: Record 6/9 there; take the BATTLE-AXE.
6. 6
   Place the BATTLE-AXE on the shield lock of the green toolbox in front of the bulldozer.
7. 7
   Toolbox puzzle: eight tool tiles in two rows. Click two tiles to swap them. Each edge connector turns green when its two halves (bolts, springs, hooks) match the neighbouring tile. Swap until every joint is green.

   

8. 8
   Take the RUNGS and the HAMMER from the toolbox.
9. 9
   Place the RUNGS on the end wall of the second tunnel and hammer each one in with the HAMMER. Climb up and push open the manhole cover to reach the gallery street.

3. 3
   In Harper's workshop, place the LOTUSES in the three recesses on the cabinet doors on the left.
4. 4
   Lotus tubes: four tubes turn on a central axle. Use the curved corner arrows and the side rotate buttons to move and flip the tubes so the balls roll between them. Gather all three pink lotus balls in the tube that carries the lotus emblem on its end.

   

5. 5
   Photograph the "Girl in a Hat" painting with the CAMERA and take the PHOTO. Take the FEATHERS (2/5) from the books on the bottom shelf of the cabinet.

   In the Residential lobby, place the GEAR in the wooden cabinet with the round porthole window behind the reception area, then pull the lever.
5. 5
   Cog grid: bright silver cogs are loose, dark sockets are empty targets and dull cogs are already seated. Move each loose cog through empty squares into a socket; a seated cog turns dull. Fill all twelve sockets. This puzzle takes many moves: clear the routes into the corner sockets first so later cogs are not blocked.

   

6. 6

   Open the CRYPTEX: turn the four arrow dials to match the scratches – top left up-right, top right left, bottom left left, bottom right down-right. Take the KEY.
6. 6
   Unlock the small cabinet left of the library window with the KEY. Read file No. 0021 on Edward Donnelly and take the HANDLE (1/2).

   Attach both HANDLES to the large safe right of the desk and turn them.
2. 2
   Lattice puzzle: drag a column vertically by its blue end tile or a row horizontally by its red end tile. Gold hexagons and trefoils sit on separate layers, so at the start some cells are empty and some hold two overlapping symbols. Shift rows and columns until every cell holds exactly one symbol, with no gaps or overlaps. This is a long rearrangement puzzle; see the completed-state image.

   

3. 3
   Read the excavation map and documents (Delambert hired the dig workers; a sarcophagus is involved) and take the BATTERIES.

Read the clock radio's light pattern and copy it with the library lamps to reveal the hidden book.
