Frequently Asked Question

The aim is to let the pin pass to the right side by lifting the plates with the help of picklocks.

In the center there is a lock itself. There can be from 1 to 3 plates in the lock, located one behind another (1 is for the easiest lock, and 3 are for the most difficult). Each plate has a set of cogs and each cog consists of several segments (visually separated by horizontal bars); pay attention to the upper cogs. In the upper left part of the lock there is a pin, which has to be moved to the right.
On the left side there are picklocks, which can be single or double. The number next to a picklock indicates the number of segments it can lift.

To lift the plate and let the pin pass from the left to the right you need to choose appropriate picklocks which can lift the plate high enough. It is possible that one combination of picklocks is able to lift both sets of cogs one by one; otherwise, remove the first set you’ve used and use another.
For example, to lift up a plate with 2-segment cog you have to use a picklock #2.

If there are 2 or 3 plates in the lock, combine the picklocks so that all 2 or 3 plates are lifted simultaneously.
For example, there are 2 plates: first is with 1-segment cog, second is with 3-segment cog. To lift them use either picklocks #1 and #3 together, or use one double picklock #1-3.

When you choose a picklock it is automatically installed to the first available plate. Use controls to move to another plate.
The message “There is no space for this picklock” means that there is a picklock installed for every single plate in this lock and you cannot apply more of them. Try removing picklocks that don’t fit.

Pay attention to the hints on the screen; they change depending on your actions.
Shift (X for gamepad) – switching between picklocks and lock
