From White to Black
Hint 1.
Find a total of 7 panels that can be opened, located both high and low.

One of the panels has a hole in its center. Could it contain a switch? How could you reach it?
Hint 3
Look for a long, narrow metal rod.
Hint 4
A lot of things can be hidden under the table.
Hint 5
If something is blocking your progress, a bit of teamwork can easily guide the round metal plate.
Hint 6
If you’ve done all this and the room hasn’t gone dark, look around. You might have opened a secret door!
No worries if you can’t see anything—use a tool like a flashlight (e.g., your phone).
If you made it to the next room:
Sometimes, solutions come to light in the darkness.
Hint 1
You can only see the light in darkness. There is a way to „lighten up.”
Hint 2
On the wall of one of the openable panels, there is a guide showing the order in which to flip the switches inside. 💡
Hint 3
The sequence is displayed on the wall of the 4th panel, going left to right.
The switches are next to the door opener in the black room.
MAZE
Hint 1
In the bottom-left corner of the maze, you’ll find a key you’ll need. Figure out how to safely guide it out.
Hint 2
On the other side of the maze, in the black room, there is a magnet you can use to guide the key out. It just takes a bit of teamwork.
WALL-MOUNTED BOX
Hint 1
In the second room, you’ll find a wall-mounted box.
The brave ones can explore what’s inside. 👆
Hint 2
What braille symbols can you recognize? Where else have you encountered similar markings?
Hint 3
Above the pull-out shelf, the picture contains the twin symbols of the braille markings. Identify which shape corresponds to which letter.
Hint 4
In the chart next to the secret box, you’ll find letters at the recognized symbols’ locations.
SOLUTION
- Y-Up
- Q-Up
- O-Right
- W-Right
- Z-Left
TWO-DIGIT COMBINATION
Hint 1
The metal rod can be used for one more thing.
Hint 2
Above the radiator, there’s a hole in the wall. You can reach inside to move the plexiglass. Rotate it and search for something!
Hint 3
If you find a hole, use the metal rod—there’s a small switch there. Use it to activate something. Take a look around once it’s done!
Hint 4
A small red light is blinking. What could it mean? You’ll need the box with the directional lock for this!
Level 5 Hint (read only if the directional box is already opened):
Inside the directional box, you might find a Morse code sheet that helps you interpret the signals.
Level 6 Hint
Pay close attention to how many times and for how long the Morse light blinks. The light will display the two-digit code, followed by an “end” signal indicating the sequence has finished (as shown on the Morse sheet).
