+ 2To solve the puzzle, look around the room for a short riddle that gives you a clue about how to open the safe. Here is the riddle:
- Right where the rooftops pierce through the night
- Left are homebound footprints with no owner in sight
- But has he found home, oh, please pray tell
- Or a river of memories leading right to his hell
The riddle on the wall suggests turning the dial and correctly entering the three hidden numbers to open the Safe. These numbers are hidden within the drawings across the room.
The riddle's first phrase, “Right where the rooftops pierce through the night,” refers to the number 13 drawn on top of several house rooftops. Turn the Safe dial to the right until it is at 13, and then press Accept.
The second phrase, “Left are homebound footprints with no owner in sight,” indicates the number 7 drawn next to a house with footprints. Set the dial to the left to 7 and press 'Accept.'
The last phrase Or a river of memories leading right to his hell refers to the number 11 found next to an image of a river. Turn the dial to the right until it reaches 11, and then press Accept.
It is important to follow the correct sequence: right to 13, left to 7, and right to 11. Once all numbers are in proper order, the Safe will open.
