Quests from The Panic Room: House of Secrets

Search without an aim

Jim: What was the exact text of the curse? "My daughters will remind". It means that girls from Alastriona’s line will activate the curse right away, if at the same time a man from Willem’s line is born. "When they meet" — looks like there is after all some distance at which it starts working. Wait, what’s the age difference between John and Alice? I need to count.

Task: Find an unknown item. You will not find the item immediately.

Jim has settled down in the living room with piles of stored up notes. In the meantime you can search… For something.

You roll a mirror helmet from behind the pots. Looks like it’s the one that could have bitten your head off. Something is wrong with it.

You twist it in your hands. Suddenly half the trap falls off and drops to the floor. It was holding together practically on a wing and a prayer.

You hear a cough from the speakers and startle. The helmet falls down, a crack winds on the glass.

Alice: Put it back.

You obediently push the helmet back behind the pots. Estimate the view angle. Yes, now it can’t be seen from the camera.

You found a broken helmet. You received some points of freedom and some tokens.

Jim: Five. They have a five years difference, the car accident happened when Katelin got married, that means the curse has a preemptive tactic... What? Yes, that’s interesting. So, even if the trap has worked… However, she’s right, "let’s put it back".
