The ballroom was the hardest part and I was so proud when I figured it out.

I have one question though. When I got this adventure done I had one extra heart keystone left. Did I miss something, some small room?


gelis, how did you get past the beginning? I can't figure it out. How did you get through the first gate?

I was stuck there too. You have to put the statue on the tile, I believe that opens the bathroom downstairs. In the bathroom, there is a hole in the floor that unlocks the door you're talking about. After you get to the bathroom, you can leave the statue there. I think that is right. I hope that helps.

Just wanting to thank you as I spent several hours last night enjoying your creation. Personally rather proud that I did it without cheating as I generally have little patience with mystery/puzzle games, but I have enjoyed the tombs and couldn't stand the spoilage. Your clues worked out just great although I hardly sped through it. I also want to say how impressed I was at the way you captured the mysterious ambiance with the color, layout and decoration. Only thing I would have liked to see more of is danger.

So here's Tera O'Meara (born in game with that name - had to leave it) solving the Chateau's mysteries!





I'm stuck...I found downstairs, the first 5 rooms, can't get past that...I got to the chess room, can't get past that...I think I got the statues in the courtyard right, but can't open the stairs in the courtyard...where is the star keystone?...Can anyone help me?

This is a beautiful home but... I have to ask, is this house polish? Because I've noticed that homes in Poland leave their window locks facing outside.

I'm just messing around, I noticed some of your windows were placed inside out. But again, great lot you built here.

To those who says to get stuck: come on, this is peanuts compared to Myst or The Longest Journey. Try Myst III: Exile or Riven sometimes. Play Myst III myself and the puzzles in there are much harder. Just use your eyes and be patient.


Looks great. I like puzzling myself and as said i play some adventures like Myst sometimes. Will try this out.

I'd REALLY love this, but I don't have Late Night. How badly will I screw up the game if I install it anyway? xD

@candesco: Don't judge if you haven't even tried it, yet!

I finally made it through that darn door. Thanks bobinrobin for reminding me of the bathroom. I was so concentrated on that door at the end of the balcony that I didn't see that the bathroom door had opened. :P

This was amazingly awesome. It took my sim (ahem, me) about 5 sim days to complete (and that was with needs static). It was amazingly detailed, well thought out, and most certainly a brain buster. Teach us your skills! :P

I so appreciate talented creators who make an already entertaining game even more entertaining than we thought it could be. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this and sharing.

Is there a walk through for this yet? Or at least how do you get the doors unlocked on the first and second floors to begin with? I have tried just about everything.

It seems like some of you wants a non-tomb version, which I will fix when I complete my current project.

The two-tile main staircase in the inner courtyard leads down to the basement and two doors on the left and right side. On the left, a heart keystone is required. Is this keystone from the treasure chest in the room next to piano room [the one with fenced barrier]?

Because I get a Crescent keystone there and don't know where to continue.

Well, after me feeling cocky from beating all the tombs that came with World Adventures, you make this tomb to knock me down a peg, excellent, yet perplexing tomb. Thanks for the effort of making this giant puzzle. But I'm still lost in the chessboard puzzle.

Have you ever played a full adventuregame then, like Myst III: Exile or The Longest Journey? I bet not. Try that for some time. Really, the puzzles of those games are much harder. Like the reflectors puzzle in J'nanin. And there are no clues.

I've been having so much fun with this lot. It's a lot of fun and it's been challenging but now I'm stuck and was hoping for some help

I'm stuck in the music room, the one with the piano. I can't seem to figure out in what order do I have to stand on the stones.

In the corridore next to this is a wall, and 4 lamps next to it. behind each lamp is a painting, 1-4, I guess this is the order of hints. Then there is the dining room with the same colored chairs as the light the 4 lamps give. I thought the hint is that you stand on the stone that is in the same order as the lamp colours + the chair colour. That was my idea, but honestly I don't know what to do

Where do I find the hint on which stones to stand on in the music room? Any help is appreciated.

Hi -- I feel like an idiot. There must be a simple bit that I keep not seeing. I've gotten to the room that says he hates red as it is the colour of blood, but I am stuck. I keep going around to all of the rooms I've already opened, which aren't much, but I'm stuck. It's been days. Is there a hint?

Geez, this is really well made and hard. I don't know if it's supposed to be like that, but I'm using two sims, cuz I somehow locked inside the first one right in the beggining. SO yeah, your tomb can actually trap people and that's kind of awesome!
