 Your Case File
A museum curator hires you to assist with the most anticipated
event of the year, but artifacts from the exhibit are mysteriously
disappearing. Are these mishaps connected to the amphitheater’s
upcoming performance? Or is an unseen villain pulling strings behind
the scenes?

This Guide is Your Trusty Sidekick!

Refer to this guide to help keep you on track. Its purpose is to take you step-
by-step through the game, reveal puzzle solutions, and steer you away from
wrong turns.

Many pages will give a brief summary of where you are at in the game,
followed by a short list of mini-tasks for you to accomplish at that point.

Gameplay Tips and Tricks:

• Be sure to take notes often. Click on the "Notes" tab on the right side of the
screen or open up your phone and click "My Diary" to read Nancy's latest
thoughts. Scroll down the entries to review important clues that you, as
Nancy Drew, have already come across.

• Keep checking with your phone contacts throughout the game. They will be
able to help you with tasks and solving the mystery.

• Some items will be completely removed from your inventory once you use
them. For example, the key to the office will disappear once you've unlocked
the door.

• Be thorough. Return to each environment, re-explore areas, re-read books and

notes, and check back with characters when you are unsure of what to do
next.

5
 Arrival at the Museum
You arrive at the museum to help with the exhibit and are now on the
phone with Frank and Joe Hardy. Your main contact, Melina Rosi, is
missing. The museum has been losing staff for unknown reasons.
Frank says he will contact "the Network" to try to learn more about
what’s really going on.

Amphitheater Scream
The call is interrupted by a woman’s scream for “Help!” You hang up
the phone to investigate. It's coming from the amphitheater. You see
a man pull the woman off her feet. You shout to the man to leave her
alone, but the woman assures you this is just a rehearsal.

6
Meet Xenia Doukas
Playing the lead role in the performance of
Persephone in Winter, Xenia is a talented
actress who is also the show’s director.
She keeps busy with her work on the
play, but is her sweet personality and
demanding workload blinding Xenia from
what’s truly going on behind the scenes?
Or is her obsession with being a great
actress masking her true intentions?

Discover a Myth
Ask Xenia more about
the play. You learn about
Demeter, goddess of the
harvest, who can’t keep her
daughter Persephone safe
from Hades. Hades kidnaps
Persephone to be his queen
in the Underworld.

Ask about the character of

Persephone, and Xenia will
admit that this show is a bit
over her head. Xenia also
tells you to be careful around
the boys.

Map of the Wings
Front Stage and Backstage

9
Amphitheater and Wings
Explore the amphitheater and backstage wings:

• Look around the stage

• Pick up the blue tablet ("Personal Notes" requires a password)
• Meet Grigor

10
Meet Grigor Karakinos
Cast as Hermes the Messenger, Grigor is
also the stage manager and technician
for the play. He works backstage with
the lights, lifts, and other various stage
assets. Charming and talkative, Grigor
seems to know everyone and everything
that’s going on. He may be helpful for
picking up interesting information, but is
he holding anything back?

Meet Hermes
Ask Grigor about his role in the production and he will tell you that he's
busy with the play. There's no backup crew, so he's filling in to work
the lights and stage cues.

The Hydraulics Room

Take the stairs down to the hydraulics
room. Pick up the book on Greek
mythology and notice that the chapter
"Tartarus and the Underworld" is
circled. Step up to the storage cabinet
and see that it is locked with a keypad.

11
The Fly System
Return upstairs and walk towards
the stage. Touch the ropes and
levers of the fly system. Grigor stops
you. He tells you it's for the scenery
and curtains, and warns that it will
kill you. He then leaves.

Touch the fly system again and it breaks. Watch as Xenia leaves her table
to investigate the crash off to the other side of the stage. She sounds
very stressed about the show - like she’s almost at her breaking point.

The Director's Tent

Leave the stage area and get • Take a look at the actors' headshots
a closer look at Xenia’s table • Pick up Xenia’s script with all her notes
under the tent. • Notice the tablet with the image puzzle

12
Grecian Art Puzzles
Solve the first puzzle on Xenia's tablet. Once you re-create the first
image, information about the piece appears on the tablet. Below are all
the completed images.

#1 #2

#3 #4

#5 #6

#7 Leave the tablet on the table

and continue on.

13
Entering the Museum
Walk up the steps to the exterior
of the museum. Along the way,
pick up and take the Famous
People of Greece book from the
stone bench near the archway.

Take a look at the poster by the

door. Xenia's notes from the script
mention this poster. Remember
to keep an eye out for a small key
to open this. Notice the mailbox
on the wall by the door and then
enter the museum.

Immediately you hear the sound of glass shattering. A woman runs from
one end of the exhibit to the other. You then greet Niobe. She admits to
freehand tracing on the display case with the gold chain link necklace.
But she applied too much weight, causing the glass to shatter.

Meet Niobe Papadaki

Niobe plays the role of Demeter,
Persephone’s mother, but is also the
show’s prop and stage artist. She has a
strong interest in the museum’s artifacts
and is referencing the pieces for onstage
props and design. Terrified of being
onstage, Niobe tends to keep to herself
and focus on her work. But has Niobe been
observing more than just artwork? Could
she possibly shed some light on her other
observations at the museum?

14
Inquire about Greek mythology and she gives you a book on the subject.
Ask Niobe if you're interrupting her, and she admits she likes the
distraction. She's also nervous about the play. Niobe leaves and you can
now explore the museum.

Map of the Museum

"Life in Ancient Greece" Exhibit

15
Explore the Museum

• View the statues

• Find the temple architecture diagram on the bench
• Look at the incomplete temple display
• Look at the incomplete vase display
• Notice the locked jewelry and coin display cases
• Take a closer look at the broken display case
• Look at the open crates and pink invoice slip
• Read the note taped to the office door

16
Melina's Note
Melina’s note on the office door
says you’ll find her key with Nike.
Your tasks are listed as well:

• Label the vase display

• Create temple display images
• Assign tickets for tonight’s
performance

Her second note states that she's

away from the museum hunting
down some artifacts. Turn around
and locate the statue of Nike.

Pick up the key from the winged statue of Nike and use it to open the
office door. As soon as you enter the office, your phone rings.

Meet Melina Rosi

The curator of the museum, Melina
Rosi, has called you in to assist with the
exhibit in time for the grand opening and
upcoming play. Her museum staff are
mysteriously abandoning their roles.
However, Melina is undeterred and will do
whatever it takes to hunt down the truth.
No one is closer to the artifacts than
Melina, but could she be hiding her true
involvement in the missing exhibit pieces?

17
Melina apologizes for not being able to meet you at the museum.
She’s looking for the missing exhibit pieces and she suspects theft is
a possibility. Melina wants you to keep your eyes and ears open. Ask
her about the cast and she replies, saying the police have already
questioned them.

Explore the Office

• Look at the printer

• Find locked filing cabinet
• See box of figurines on the bookshelf
• Read shipping log on clipboard
• Open the cupboards
• Read Melina’s binder notes & records
• Look at the password-protected
computer and phone dock

18
Map of the Office
Melina's Office in the Museum

19
Researching Suspects
Call the Hardy Boys and bring
them up to speed. They suspect
something odd is happening at the
museum, and offer to help to look
into the cast members. Ask them
if they know anything about Greek
art and they promise to send you a
book.

Activating the Lift

Xenia's script contains a note
about the code for the lift remote's
storage, found backstage. Make
your way back to the stage wings
and walk down the steps to the
hydraulics room.

Approach the storage locker and

use the code 18355 to open it and
take the remote.

Return to the main stage and locate

the lift. Use the control to lower
yourself below stage.

When the lift comes to a stop,

Thanos suddenly appears.

20
Meet Thanos Ganas
Hades, Greek god of the underworld,
is large and intimidating, much like the
actor who portrays him. Thanos lingers
under the set, keeping an eye on all the
stage hydraulics and making sure that
the sets are working properly. He doesn’t
like you snooping under the stage and is
very protective of the set. Is there more
to reveal in the Underworld than Thanos
is letting on?

Explore Acheron
Thanos leaves before you can ask him any further questions.
• Look at the green plaque with broken letters
• Remember to look for supplies to make a rubbing of this plaque
• Notice the boat on the river
• Take a close look at Charon, the ferryman
• View Charon’s hand – he wants something
• See a statue of a dog in the distance

21
 Map of the River Acheron

Myth of the Ferryman

You can’t ride the boat across the
river until you give Charon what
he wants. Open up your book on
Underworld myths and read the
first paragraph, “Tartarus & the
Underworld.” It says that you must
pay an obolus coin to the ferryman
for passage.

There are coins in the locked

display case at the museum. Call
Melina to ask for the key. She says
you will need to open the filing
cabinet first. The key to the cabinet
is hidden in the box with animal
figurines.

22
 She mentions that what you need
is on her computer, and that Niobe
may be able to help as well.

Return to the museum.

Enter the museum and ask Niobe

for help in proving provenance. She
hands you a book on the topic.

Ask Niobe for her thoughts about

Thanos. She thinks he was typecast
because he naturally behaves like
Hades.

Return to Melina's office and locate

the animal figurines box on her
bookshelf.

23
Animal Figurines
Refer to your book of Greek Gods
to match the animal figurines
with their respective symbols.
Here is the correct order:
1. Eagle + Zeus's lightning bolt
2. Cow + Hera's peacock feather
3. Vulture + Ares's sword
4. Owl + Athena's olive branch
5. Dolphin + Apollo's lyre
6. Stag + Artemis's bow
7. Dove + Aphrodite's heart

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Unlock the Filing Cabinet

Correctlt placing the animal figurines opens the box’s hidden
compartment. Take the file cabinet key and use it to unlock the drawer
on the right. Take the labels for the vase display and review the employee
time cards. Some of the employees recently quit, while another employee
was fired, and a couple others are on holiday or paid leave. Is it odd that
they all left around the same time?

24
Open the left drawer to take the coin display key and read the sticky
note with the word KLEROTERION on it.
Exit the office and turn to approach the coin display. Use the coin
display key to unlock the two glass cases. Open the display on the
right and take a coin.

Paying the Ferryman

Make your way back to the
ferryman below the stage. Place
the coin in Charon’s hand and he'll
take you across the river Acheron.

25
Cerberus on Guard
The three-headed dog Cerberus is guarding the skull-designed door.
It’s locked, of course. Turn around and notice the purple blacklight
fixture near Cerberus’s feet, then approach him. To get past Cerberus,
solve the three puzzles on his dog tags.

Cerberus's Lock
Block the red dog token from reaching the stars by placing bars along
the path. Try working on closing tracks closer to the stars than the
dog, as seen on the following pages.

• Look at the golden door to the right of the judges
• Get a closer look at the three judges and their scales
• Try opening the judges’ trunk

30
Pass through the red door on the left to enter Tartarus.
Before you step through the second
door, you overhear Xenia arguing
with Niobe. It sounds like Niobe
doesn’t want to be onstage. Xenia
opens the door and is suprised to
see you. She apologizes for the
argument and they both leave.

Map of Tartarus
Realm of the Wicked

31
Explore Tartarus
• See pool of water
• View the fruit tree
• Look at the empty ceramic tub
• Pick up the workshop notes from the steps
• Examine the tile carving on the wall
• See cage
• View plaque on the wall
• Try the door with the glowing eyes
• Look at the keypad

32
Punishments in Tartarus
Start to climb the ramp to the left
of the skull door. A boulder begins
to roll straight towards you! Step
back quickly to avoid getting hit.
Continue up the ramp. At the top,
pick up the pitcher and return to
the pool of water.

According to the book on

Underworld myths, the Danaides
were forced to fill a leaky basin as
punishment. Follow the myth, and
fill your pitcher with water. Holes
in the pitcher cause the water to
seep out. Block the sieve holes so
the pitcher holds water.

Pitcher Sieve
Press the buttons as many times as shown below:

33
Unlocking the Fire Room
Use the pitcher three times to
transfer water to the tub. Once
the tub is full, the door with the
glowing eyes will unlock. Pass
through the door into the fiery
Phlegethon River set.

Explore the Fire Room

• Notice the bridge is out
• See plaque to the left of the door
• View panel to right of door

Leave the fire room and Tartarus

to return to the Underworld
set. The red door in Tartarus is
locked! Look at the panel on the
right and solve the hands puzzle.

34
Hands Lock
Clear the board so that all the hand tiles stack onto the tile with six hands.
Stack tiles by clicking on tiles with two or more adjoining hand tiles.

Angering Thanos
Head back to the stage lift near the river Acheron. Cross the river in the
boat. Thanos yells at you from the other side and then demands that
you give him the remote to the lift. He says the hydraulic sets can be
dangerous while they are warming up for the show. Thanos takes the
remote and commands you to not come back.

Grigor's Task
Check in with Grigor. He wants you to fix the fly system. Ask him for
help in getting back down to the sets. He warns you that it’s dangerous
down there. Pick up Grigor’s tablet and read the entries in the Stage
Notes. The entry “Lights and Cues” directs you to look at Xenia’s
script notes.

On page 2 of Xenia's script, she has written notes to “balance the

fly system weight values” in red ink. On page 6 there is also a clue to
Grigor’s tablet: “First, last, repeat.”

37
Grigor's Tablet Password

On Grigor's tablet, select "Personal Notes." Click on the first letter

of the word, then the last letter on the next word, then first letter of
the following word, and so on. The letters spell out the password
PALEONTOLOGY.

Read each entry in Grigor’s

personal notes. It looks like
he was curious about Xenia’s
box and took some notes on
how to unlock it. Another entry
mentions casting the character
Plutus, and mentions the cast
list is hidden under the red
stitching in his bag.

Additional entries indicate that

Thanos is involved with Kronos,
the Greek mafia.

38
Fly System Weights
Approach the fly system. Counterbalance the weights to the production's
settings, as noted in Xenia's script on page 2. Refer to the temple design
sketch to match the names of temple elements with Xenia's descriptions.

Grigor's Bag
Turn around to where Grigor was
standing and look at the light
board, then examine Grigor’s
messenger bag. Rip open the red
stitching on the flap and read the
casting list for the role of Plutus.
Remember to ask him about this
later.
Researching the Cast
Give Frank and Joe Hardy a call
and ask them if they've looked into
the cast. They say they couldn't
find anyone to question, and that
the cast members are dangerous.
Mention the odd list of names
from Grigor’s bag.

While the Hardy Boys look into the list of names, return to the museum to
complete your curatorial duties.

Open the mailbox by the museum

door and pick up the package
from the Hardy Boys. This book on
Greek vases will come in handy
later.

Melina for this later.

Listen to the player. Here you can

listen to the actors' recordings of
their rehearsal sessions.

Open up the provenance

application. The first request is for
the gold green leaf necklace. Exit
the office.

Secret Doors
As you open the door, Niobe appears and opens a hidden passage in
the wall at the other side of the museum.

45
Lightning Bolts
Walk over and examine the wall where Niobe went through. Arrange the
disks to show only lightning bolts in order to unlock the door. Drag and
drop the disks. Spin the long blue tab (A) to the 9:00 position, the longer
green tab (C) to 4:00, and the longer gray tab (B) to 1:00.

Secret Tunnel!
Walk through the tunnel to the door. Peer through the peephole, and
then enter the workshop. The alarm triggers. Locate the flashing
security panel on the wall and refer to the workshop notes in your
inventory for clues on how to turn the alarm off.

46
Alarm Passcode
Follow the fingerprint smudges and drag a line to connect all the circles.
You must draw a line through each one, starting and ending at the same
circle. It does not matter where you start, just so long as you form one
unbroken line.

the river Acheron.
Open up the small yellow box on
the lift.

Remote Connections
Each control shows the number of connections needed from that point.
When a control is correctly connected, it will turn green.

50
Grigor's List
Take the remote and use it to
travel back up the lift. Walk over
to the wings and talk to Grigor. He
knows you have snooped through
his bag.

Ask him about casting Plutus. He

says there was a scene where the
gods are petitioned, but it was too
boring and was cut. Ask him again
about the list and casting this late.
Let him know that your contacts
are looking into these names.

Grigor then confesses that the list

is of angel investors for his new
theater business. The investors
are coming to the show.
Grigor gets angry at you and
leaves. Turn to look at his tablet. In
his Personal Notes, read the new
entries. Grigor hid an insurance
policy within the stones panel and
used a box in the jewelry display to
lock away Thanos's access. Both
entries give clues as to how to open
the compartments.

Tickets Delivered
Walk back to the museum. Before
you enter, drop off the tickets in
the mailbox.

51
Gemstone Box
Grigor's notes mention the box in the jewelry display case. Open the

Xenia's tablet offers some information on the vase.

Use the provenance application to enter the data. Choose the correct
information in each drop-down section. For each entry, you need to
take a picture of the piece with your phone camera. Dock your phone
near the computer and upload the picture. Click "Submit" once you are

Melina's filing cabinet. Refer to your art book to match the names with
each vase.

55
Cast Follow-Up
Call the Hardy Boys and inquire about individual cast members. You
learn that Grigor is American and that he is not using his real name.
Thanos killed people while working in private security and is clearly
dangerous when the situation calls for it. Niobe, a skilled artist, was
accused of art forgery and subsequently lost credibility in the art world.
Xenia is from New York and grew up around artists and professors.

Ask the boys what they think

of Melina's involvement in the
missing artwork. They're not sure
she's completely innocent and
suggest you ask her about it.

Niobe at Work
Take the hidden tunnel to the
workshop. You find Niobe in street
clothes working at one of the
tables. Check in with her and she
asks for help with painting a vase.
Step up to the low table next to
the bookshelf and paint the vase
according to the picture Niobe
gave you.

Painting Vases

Refer to Niobe's sketch to design

the vase. When you are finished
painting, fire the vase and let it sit
in the kiln for a while. Leave and
come back later to check on it.

56
 Plaque Rubbings

Pass through the double doors

into the Underworld. A plaque is
located to the right of Cerberus.
Use your charcoal and paper to
make a rubbing.

Take the boat across the river

Acheron, where you'll find a
boulder with another plaque.
Add another rubbing. Thanos has
returned. Greet him again. He isn't
thrilled that you found another
way down here.

Return to the Underworld and enter the red door to Tartarus. Locate
another plaque near the door with the eyes and add this rubbing to your
paper.

Pass through the door into the fire room and turn around to find the last
plaque. Make one last rubbing. The finished paper shows the Greek
letters.

57
Vine Tiles
Make your way back to Tartarus
and find the steps that lead up to
the vine tile carving. Place the
missing tile in the carving and
arrange the tiles to match all of
the designs.

A small compartment opens!

Take the key found inside.

Walk back to the Underworld

and climb the steps to the stones
panel.

58
Greek Stones
Refer to your rubbing of the Greek
letters, and remember what Grigor’s
tablet entry said about famous Greeks.

The doctor's pair lies is marked in red,

the playwright's in orange, architect's
in green, blue for the inventor, and the
poet's are marked in purple.

The rock pillar opens to reveal
a crevice. Pick up the seal and
paper with letters.

Finished Vase
Walk down to the workshop and check on the kiln. Your vase has
finished firing. Look inside and notice the pottery shard with a
sphinx painting. The sphinx painting on it was one of the forbidden
reproduction images on Melina's list to Niobe.

Greek Cast Names

Take the tunnel shortcut to the museum. Before you can open the
secret door, you need to enter the actors names in Greek alphabetical
order, according to Niobe’s red notes in the letter from the trash bin.
Press the letters below to spell each name in Greek:

1. Grigor

2. Thanos

3. Niobe
4. Xenia

61
The Poster Case
Exit the museum and stop just
outside the door. Use the small
key picked up from the vine tile
compartment to unlock the poster
display case.

Check the back of the poster

and read the note to the VIPs.
It looks like an odd set of coded
directions. Call Melina and tell her
there might be a problem.

Tell Melina about the evidence of the artwork being swapped with
fakes. Melina wants you to test the vase and jewelry. She gives you
the password to her computer database: Calliope. Melina is going to
contact the authorities.

Re-enter the museum and return to

the computer in the office. Select
the Authentication Database and
enter the password Calliope.

62
Authentication Test
According to notes in the Authentication Database, you will need a
spectroscope and a shard of pottery to test the gemstones and the gold.

The spectroscope can be found by the river Acheron. Walk back on

stage and take the lift down. Pick up the blue spectroscope by the tree
and then cross the river.

From the Underworld, enter the

workshop through the double
doors. Approach the work table
where you painted a vase, and
collect a shard of pottery from the
lower shelf.

Take the tunnel back to the

museum. Over at the jewelry
display, look closer at the gold
necklace behind the broken glass
and use the pottery shard against
it. The rub marking is black,
indicating the gold is fake!

63
 Open the jewelry cabinet
to the left and pick up an
emerald earring. Look through
the spectroscope. The color
spectrum indicates that this
emerald gem is a fake as well.

Niobe's Replicas
Re-enter the workshop and
talk to Niobe. Accuse her of
counterfeiting. She confesses to
creating the replicas for herself.
Naturally, she does not want you
to report this to Melina.

Xenia's Box
Leave the workshop and make
your way back to Xenia's tent.
She’s gone. Pick up the small box
on her table.

The box matches the one from

Grigor's tablet notes.

64
According to Grigor's notes, all letters need to connect in a continuous
line alphabetically. Make sure the correct letter appears in its respective
column or row, if indicated.

Snooping Through Notes
Take Xenia’s director notes.
Note that the cage activation
code is 72914.

Head backstage to the wings.

Grigor is gone. Open up his
tablet and read the latest
entries in his Personal Notes.
Grigor writes that Niobe is
“in deep with some petty
thug,” that Xenia’s parents
were in trouble, and Thanos
might take what he wants. If
the play isn’t a big hit, all the
actors are in trouble.

Return to the director’s table

and approach Xenia. She is in a
different costume than before.
Xenia asks you for help in setting
up the light board and gives you
the notes you need.

Compliment her dress. Xenia tells

you that Niobe made it.

Return to the wings and step up

to the light board.

66
Light Board Operator
Read the light board notes to
learn how to use the light board.
Select a light letter, then choose
colors on the right and apply to
the arrows on the board. Adjust
the dimmers to the appropriate
level, according to Xenia's notes
and the cue instructions displayed
on the light board.
When each cue is set, click "save cue" to submit.

Reset the Breaker
The stage lights' circuit has
tripped! You need to reset the
breaker. Back up from the light
board and walk downstairs to
the hydraulics room. Open up the
panel and flip the black lever.

The lift behind the panel rises, and Grigor is on it. He doesn’t notice you
as he switches a fake vase for a real one.

Swapped Vases?
Walk back to the museum and
take a look at the vases on
display. Nothing looks different,
but you know that Grigor was
swapping one of them. You need
to find out if the one on display
is real or fake. According to the
Authentication Database on
Melina’s computer, you need a
blacklight.

69
Finding a Blacklight
There was a blacklight down in the river Acheron near Cerberus. Make
your way back to the stage, down the lift and across the river. Locate
the light, disguised as a stone near Cerberus’s paw. You need a tool to
pry it loose. Enter the workshop to look for the appropriate tool.

Look at the shelf of supplies to the right.

On the table below is a hex key, propped up
against an orange-colored can. Take this
and return to the blacklight near the river
Acheron.

Use the hex key to take the black light. Head

back to the vase display in the museum.

Real and Fake Vases

Use the blacklight over
different vases to see
that they each glow an
aqua color. The vase
that Grigor placed here
glows purple. It's a
fake!

70
Questioning Grigor
Go and talk to Grigor. Confront
him about swapping artifacts
with copies. He warns you that
Thanos is now your problem.
Thanos is watching. Grigor then
leaves.

You’ve caught Grigor swapping the vases, but now you must identify
who made the fakes. Return to the museum and head down the tunnel
towards the workshop to find Niobe.

Eavesdropping
Before you open the bookcase
door, you overhear Thanos and
Niobe arguing. Niobe is clearly
upset and breaks some vases.
Thanos sounds threatening but
soon leaves.

Talk to Niobe. She says they can’t

have her art with what they are
planning. She tried to keep you
safe, but you metaphorically
“ate the seeds” and chose to put
yourself in danger.

Niobe is responsible for forging art. The real art will be stolen before
the end of the show. Dangerous people are coming after Niobe, and
they listen to Thanos. Niobe confesses that she forged art to survive;
she didn’t do it for the money. She says she will help you, and has left
something for you near the flowers on stage.

Make your way back to the main stage.

71
Narcissus Flower
Take a closer look at the
narcissus flower and pick up the
key. You hear footsteps and look
up to see Thanos walking towards
you. You take a few steps back
and fall onto the lift.

Blackout!
You awake to find yourself
locked in the cage down in
Tartarus. The door opens and
Grigor walks in. You call out to
him and he approaches you.

Grigor claims to not be a bad

guy, but can’t do much for you
since he is in over his head with
this scheme, along with Niobe.

Grigor can’t get caught helping you. As footsteps are heard in the
distance, Grigor tells you to find your way out of the cage, then find the
boatman and look for something in Charon’s hand. Grigor leaves.

Turn around to examine the

panel on the wall. Use Niobe’s
key from the narcissus flower to
unlock it.

72
Cage Lock
Slide the chain of black squares to the right or left so that the green
(right side) has a value of 7 squares, and the yellow (left side) has a
value of 9 squares. This will open the path for the spider to drop down
the web. Pull the red lever to release the spider.

Notes from Charon
Make your way to the river
Acheron. At the boat, pick up
the note on the bench. Thanos
has written a warning to Grigor.
The VIPs mentioned in the note
are more than just season ticket
holders.

Grigor added a note at the

bottom with a clue to Charon's
staff. Examine Charon’s hand. It
is closed tight. Look at his staff.

Gods Staff Clues

Grigor's VIP note tells you to "look to the Romans" and put the gods in
order. The M order is Mi, Ma, Me.

Look at the paper with letters on it (found in the compartment when

you solved the stones panel). The Roman god names are found in the
book of Greek gods. The correct order is this:

Jupiter, Minerva, Mars, Diana, Mercury, Venus, Neptune

74
Gods Arrangement
Arrange the gods in the following order:

• Jupiter/Zeus: White beard, lightning bolt, eagle

• Minerva/Athena: Gold helmet, small lightning bolt, owl
• Mars/Ares: Dark helmet, spear, vulture
• Diana/Artemis: Crescent moon diadem, bow and arrow, deer
• Mercury/Hermes: Winged cap, caduceus staff, winged sandals
• Venus/Aphrodite: No special headpiece, mirror, dove
• Neptune/Poseidon: Dark beard, trident, horse

Charon’s hand opens. Take the paper, which tells you to find eight
stones to test the judges’ scales. One of the stones weighs more than
the others; identify that stone. The rest of the note is about a seeds
puzzle should you ever find yourself trapped like Persephone.

75
Trapped Like Persephone
Cross over the river Acheron and
try using your remote control for
the lift. Unfortunately, the wireless
connection is down. You need to
find a way to get the signal back up.

Walk to the fire room and look at the panel on the wall next to the door.
It’s missing some seeds. Keep an eye open for those and re-enter
Tartarus.

Activating the Cage

Thanos is just down the path, and
he is not happy. He starts towards
you, walking through the cage. Turn
to the panel on your left and quickly
enter the combination from Xenia’s
notes: 72914.

The cage bars will rise, trapping

Thanos. He threatens you, and
promises he will not be caged for
long.

Leave Tartarus and enter the

Underworld. Try opening the double
doors to the workshop. They're
locked!

You need to find a way out. Return

to Tartarus to look around for the
judges' stones and the seeds.

76
Finding the Stones
Return to Tartarus. Thanos has
escaped! Take a look in the cage.
Under the glowing yellow lamp
are the stones you need. Pick
up the marbles and return to
the Underworld. Approach the
judges’ scales.

The Judges' Scales

You need to find the stone that is heaviest. To do this, place 3 stones
on each scale. Press the "judge" button to weigh them. If the six
stones were equal, weigh the remaining two and judge the heavier
one. If the six stones weren't equal, weigh two stones from the
heavier tray. If those two stones are equal, judge the remaining stone
from the first weighing's heavier tray; otherwise, judge the heavier
stone of this pair.

77
The Judges' Trunk
The judges’ trunk opens! Pick up the gray paper in the upper right
corner. This conversation looks to be written between Xenia and
Thanos. It reveals that they are in charge of Niobe and Grigor. They
are planning on stealing the art during the play, and they plan to place
the missing artifacts in Melina's office to frame her!

Look at the empty box with a

stamp on the lid. It looks to be the
box for the seal Grigor hid away as
an insurance policy and matches
the seal on the pink invoice for the
missing jewelry delivery.

Read the blueprint. Notes on the side reveal how they plan on sneaking
the art out during the production by taking turns running the art out
to the loading bay. Grigor isn’t listed as one of the runners. Perhaps
his tablet notes about being given more lines mean that they want him
onstage, instead of backstage.

Take the blueprint for evidence.

Suddenly, a judge turns his head to
look at you. He drops his spear on
your head and you black out!

78
Knocked Out!
You awake to find yourself at the foot of a throne with Xenia sitting
in it. She has brought you here and will not help you. She reveals her
true character as she tells you that everyone is under her control. She
says that Grigor will be the one to take the blame for their actions.

As Xenia walks out, she

tells you the ending to
Persephone's story.
Persephone became the
Queen of Death in the
Underworld, and Xenia claims
to have always been the
Queen. She is the leader of
this heist. After she exits, the
stone path descends into the
Phlegethon river.

You need to escape the chains

that shackle your foot.

79
Shackle Rings
The shackle around your foot has an interesting lock. Rotate the rings
to spell familiar words and names, as shown below:

Explore the Fire Room
The stone bridge rises, but
you aren’t free yet. Try exiting
the room through the door. It's
locked! Look closer at Hades’s
throne. Above the pomegranate
are the seeds embedded into the
back of the throne. Take them.

There is a path hidden behind Persephone’s throne. Follow it to find the

loading bay. The truck must be how they are getting the art out. Turn
around and pick up the papers on the stack of chairs.

Letter of Confession
Grigor wrote this note for the law
enforcer who finds it. He believes that
Thanos is going to kill him and admits to
participating in the planned art heist of
the Phidias Cultural Center.

The cast was brought together by an

unknown group. They posed as actors
to gain access to the museum. Keep this
note for evidence.

83
Seeds
Leave the loading bay and
cross the bridge to reach the
fire door. Open the panel to
the right and refer to Grigor's
note about the seeds.
