  • Getting into the Attic room
    • So there were hints here, and I wasn’t clever enough. There is light coming from under door, and the keyhole is the type that people look through. Connect the dots, the solution is not too much of a stretch
    • Slide newspaper under door
    • Here’s where the letter opener comes in handy. Push it into the keyhole.

  • Get the magazine, give it to the madman
  • Get the key, unlock the gate, leave
  • Apparently I can’t keep my lantern on in the rain. Makes sense.
