A puzzle guide for Assignment Anya with the goal of explaining how the each puzzle works and how to solve it. SPOILER ALERT!!!
Prince Key Puzzle
To unlock this key you must rearrange the symbols, which represent seasons, in the correct order.
The correct order is: Spring, Summer, Fall then Winter.
Doing this unlocks the Prince Key.
Bookshelf Puzzles + 8Ball/Clock Puzzle
There are two bookshelf puzzles. One in the Billiard Room and the other in the Guest Room.
The majority of the books can be found at at tables in the library (all books required by the Billiard Bookshelf can be found here.) and the last book can be found in bedroom unlocked by the Clock Puzzle.
The clock puzzle can be done by obtaining the non-magical 8ball in the same room as the Billiard Bookshelf Puzzle (Magic 8ball can be found in the same room after the cut scene where Anya looks at the word gullible written on the ceiling.) and inserting it into the clock.
The book puzzles are both the same and require you to insert the correct books into the correct slots in ascending order. (1-2-3-4-5)
Both bookshelf puzzles unlock a room.
Sticker/Painting Puzzle (Bottom King Key)
If she says it looks off then that painting has a sticker on it that it shouldn’t have. Interact with it and remove it. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SPACE IN YOUR INVENTORY!!!
If she says it looks like it is missing something then there are no incorrect stickers on the painting but it is missing one or more stickers. Interact and add the correct sticker. If you lack the correct sticker then it is in your box or on another painting.
If a painting is done correctly meaning no incorrect stickers or missing stickers she will say it looks alright.
After all paintings are correct, go to the room with the Grim Reaper(?) painting and you should receive the bottom part of the Kings Key.
Drawer/Food Chain Puzzle (Top King Key)
This puzzle is located inside the master bedroom at a drawer. The solution is essentially the food chain.
Grass is eaten by the bug which is eaten by the frog which then is eaten by the snake who is finally eaten by the bird. Input this into the puzzle to receive the top of the King Key
The Key will fix itself only when it both parts are in your inventory.
Cemetery/Toilet Puzzle (Obtaining Queen Key)
This puzzle is located in the cemetery located in the dug up (?) / uncovered grave. Inside of which has a casket making a noise.
Essentially the puzzle works by moving the cursor around the casket listing and trying to get to the loudest point and click on it.
Anya will say how close you are via dialogue.
You need to do this three times with the third being the hardest as it change where it is after a certain amount of time. (If you are struggling on third one just click randomly and hope.)
After doing this you will receive the plunger. Take it to the toilet to get the Queen Key.
