Explore the rooms for clues
In every room, you must search for clues. You can touch everything in there, be sure about that! Don’t overlook obvious clues! Turn the room upside down, inside out and sideways and try to unearth every clue quickly. Look everywhere!
Communicate, and You Can Get By!

Divide and Rule
It’s true that a team of 10 people can potentially attain 10x the amount than 1 person. But this will only happen if each team member contributes to the success of the team. So, rather than having large groups working on the same puzzle, you should be able to split up work. You should solve those puzzles that people aren’t working on.
