There Was Something in the Water

After talking with David go to the kitchen, talk with Mrs. Dalton and afterwards take the newspaper from the table. Read it in zoom (5 points). Choose St. Edmund Hall on the map and go into the go into the dormitory (in front of you).

In order to move on, you have to show Helena's ID Card to the guard (5 points). Go deeper into the hall. On the left there's the pool entrance.

Speak to the pool man twice (6 points), examine the water in the pool (twice - 2 points) and finally take a look at the filter (2 points). Examine it.

Take the polaroids left on the bench (2 points). Take a look at the clock (it has stopped during the time of the incident). Return to the hall.

Look at the board above the porter. Find Jeanie Smith - she lives in room number 106 (3 points). While you're at it, check where the experiment participant live (Helena - 102, Charles - 204, Harvey - 302, Angela - 322, Malik - 326). Take the stairs on the left onto the first floor.

Go through the third door (nr 106). Talk with Jeanie about the incident that she witnessed - speak with her until you run out of topics (18 points). As a result you will end the mission (43/43 points).

After leaving room 106, Helena will call to tell you that Dr. Styles' "lambs" are waiting on the lawn outside the building. Go there.

Setting a Trap

After talking with the experiment participants, return to St. Edmund Hall dormitory. Go deeper into the hall and this time turn right to the gym. After all it's supposed to be the theme of the next experiment. Above all check the opening hours - the board on the right side of the entrance door (2 points). Observe this door or the locker door - it's a good place to set a trap, but Sam needs to do go to Mephistopheles' shop first. Move to Oxford Town Center and go on Cornmarket Street.

Take the flash powder trap from the tall shelf by the machine (4 points), leave the shop and return to the gym. Look at the new item in our inventory - it turns out the trap consists of three elements: Flash Pots, Flash Powder and Trigger Line. Pour the powder into the pot (2 points) and attach the line (2 points).

Use the assembled trap on the locker room door (3 points) and afterwards on the lobby door (3 points) - it will end the mission (16/16).

C Railer Swoll

Head to Mephistopheles' shop. Inform him that the previous Daedalus Club riddle has been solved (you need to use up all the topics to end the conversation, so talk also about the events on the campus - 5 points mission 2). Approach the machine and once again try to get 21 points. Get your reward (at the bottom right - 2 points). It's of course another riddle, this time "C Railer Swoll" which is written with strange twisted words (to learn the actual content, you have to anagram the words) referring to Alice in Wonderland.

Leave the shop and head onto Queen Street (to the left of the Tower). Enter Alice's shop (on the corner on the right). Examine the postcard rack (on the right - 2 bonus points) and choose Map of London (2 points). Take a look at the Dodo postcard and the history poster with Lewis Carroll's biography (to the left of the rack - 2 bonus points).

Now examine the Cheshire Cat (2 points). You have to spell the right password on his fabulous teeth. The above poster with the Mad Hatter can give you a hint (click on it in zoom - 2 bonus points), with the "smile" word standing out. Click the teeth with S-M-I-L-E letters (10 points). Take the Jigsaw (2 points) and the Natural History Museum Ticket (5 points).

Choose the new location of the map - University Museum. Approach the Dodo display case (on the left, zoom on the egg at the bottom - 2 points). Open the glass door behind which the egg is and examine it - Sam will note the Daedalus Club logo on it (5 points) - and take it (2 points).

Put it on the red bench in the middle of the room. Once Sam "broods" it (14 points), the egg will automatically open. Take out the next Jigsaw and Hogwarts Invitation (7 points), which will end this mission (53/53 points).

Put the egg back into the display case and head to the library. Use Helena's ID Card on the gate and approach the librarian. Talk with her (3 bonus points) to learn that the movie has been shot, inter alia, in Christ Church College. Move there to find out that the dining hall entrance is blocked (3 bonus points).
