The Cabinet of Curiosities/The Lock

Cabinets full of objects from around the world can be investigated by scanning a QR code, upon which you get an in-depth tale involving the object. To investigate The Lock, simply pick up the telephone just outside its large door, and a voice on the other end will give you your password. Once you’ve delivered it at the door, you’ll be ushered into an antechamber that contains two different passages. The gatekeeper will present you with a series of puzzles. Once you’ve solved the puzzles in order, you’ll have the code to gain access to a very stylish, exclusive-feeling space.
