Opening the box
Find the hidden opening on one of the sides. You should put a thin metal object in the hole and pull it down. To do this you can use:
Warning: DO NOT use a plastic or wooden object as it can break and get stuck.
When the lock is open, pull out the part with an arrow sign from another side of the box.
Watch the video to see how to spin and open the box.
Resetting the box
If the marbles locked again before you insert the central part, don’t worry – you can unlock it by taking the following steps:
Watch the video to see how to unlock the marbles again.
Find the inscription “START” on one of the sides.
Set the word “START” correctly by turning the gear. Then rotate the box so that a hidden marble starts rolling.
The disc with 3 dots should be turned all the way anti-clockwise to unlock the movement of the 1st disc.
Bring the marble to the smaller hollow of the 1st disc.
Bring the marble to the bigger hollow of the 2nd disc.
Turn the disc with 2 dots all the way anti-clockwise and lead the marble through the tunnel.
Bring the marble to the smaller hollow of the 2nd disc and lead it through another tunnel to the 3rd disc.
As the marble came out of the last tunnel, turn the 3rd disc and bring the marble into the small hollow. Then turn the disc anti-clockwise – the marble can now go to the next side of the Labyrinth.
Find a special arrow.
Take out this part.
You should place the scheme onto the levers so that the it fits.
Here’s the correct position of the scheme.
Each lever is connected to one arrow and one number.
Match the arrow and number to each lever sepаrately, then remove the scheme and move the levers (the initial position is when the scheme fits). Example: ↓1 – move down one space
After you have removed the scheme you should move:
Here’s the correct position of the levers. After you set them as shown below, unlock the top slider by moving it left to bring the marble to the next – the gears.
Ensure the marble near the gears can roll all the way right and left.
Turn the small 6 knobs as shown in the photo. The marble is supposed to run freely from one end to the other.
Each knob near the marble track has the same pattern as one of the knobs on the gears. Find all pairs.
Each small knob determines the position of the gear knob with the same pattern. Use the scheme beside the marble track. Remember small knobs should always be set so that the marble runs freely.
Check where a small knob points (up, down, left or right) and match this direction to the shape on the scheme. Then turn the gear knob with the same pattern so that it points to this shape.
In the example below the small knob points up, which stands for “square”. So the gear knob with the same pattern should point to the square.
Here’s the correct position of all gears. After you set them, the marble can go through this side and come out on the next puzzle. Shake the box if the marble gets stuck in the tunnel.
At some points you will need to turn over the box to bring the marble to a higher level closer to the glass.
Pay attention to the crosses on the glass.
The crosses on the glass show the key points where the marble should come in a circular slot and switch to a higher or a lower level.
Here’s the complete route.
If you can’t find your marble, it is most likely on the lowest level. To check it, shift all sliders up and hold the box vertically as shown below. Tilt it right and left – you will see the marble in the holes.
To release the marble, turn the box upside down and tilt it left and right slowly until it comes to the middle. Then turn over the box – the marble will roll out onto the plastic surface.
To continue the track correctly, bring the marble to the 5th cross.
Here’s the full guide through this puzzle.
There is a pusher near the locked marble
You have to release one marble using the other one.
Bring the free marble between the locked one and the pusher, then use the pusher.
You need to use both marbles in the next part.
Bring both marbles as shown below, then turn the mechanism clockwise. The last puzzle will be unlocked.
There is an element with an arrow sign.
Remove the key.
Pay attention to the arrows showing rotation.
The outer arrows show how to rotate the box, the inner arrows show the rotation of the central part.
Watch the video to see how to spin and open the box.
Follow the link scientia.club which you can see on the spinner. To get the access password, you should spin the object.
Spin the top on a flat surface. While it is spinning you will see 4 circles.
Resetting the box
Insert the central part and check that its 5 ends are located on 5 bases.
If the marbles locked again before you insert the central part, don’t worry – you can unlock it by taking the following steps:
Watch the video to see how to unlock the marbles again.
Rotate the central part clockwise to lock it.
Insert the key with an arrow sign and check that it is locked.
Bring one marble to the pusher and the other marble to the initial slot. Then push to open the slot, bring the marble inside and close it.
Bring the marble through the tunnel so that it comes out on the other side. If it doesn’t, check that the gears are set correctly and shake the box so that the marble falls.
Randomly rotate the gears. Let the marble beside the gears come to the left or the right end and then block the knobs.
Unlock the top slider by setting the correct position of the levers and bring the marble to the top.
Set random positions of the levers and insert the scheme.
Bring the marble into the small hollow of the disc with 3 dots and turn it clockwise. The marble will come out below the disc and go through the tunnel.
Bring the marble into the smaller hollow of the 2nd disc and rotate it clockwise. The marble will go through another tunnel.
Turn the disc anti-clockwise and bring the marble into the bigger hollow of the 2nd disc. Turn all discs clockwise.
Bring the marble to the space beside the disc with 1 dot. Then rotate the disc with 3 dots anti-clockwise.
Bring the marble into the smaller hollow and turn the disc anti-clockwise.
Turn all discs clockwise to set the puzzle to the initial state.
Make sure the starting gear has the correct word “START” set on it. Bring the marble into the space behind it and turn the gear randomly.
