Further Instructions • There are 11 clues hidden around the room. • You need to locate all 11 clues and then you need to solve them in order from 1 – 11. • The first 9 clues will reveal a letter of the alphabet that you must note down on your answer sheet.

You will multiply these numbers to reveal a 4-digit number. This will be the last part of the code. • Once you have both codes, you will then be able to escape from Uncle Montague’s creepy house!
