Below you will find some clues to help you solve our puzzles. 

​

They're set out one puzzle at a time and we suggest you start with the 'we only need a little bit of help' firstly, and move to the 'we're really stuck!' if you still can't manage.

​

Only use the 'we need the answer' if absolutely necessary! It will take some of the enjoyment from the game :(
