The 13th Doll: A Fan Game of The 7th Guest – Complete Walkthrough

There are two separate, but interwoven, storylines to play in The 13th Doll:

• You can play as both Dr. Richmond and Tad, you will have to choose a character after the introductory cutscenes, and you can’t change character during the game. You will have to start a new game to play as the other character.
• Each character has different puzzles to complete, different items to collect, and a different experience of the plot.

• The map is accessed from the in-game menu (press Escape).
• The map is only available in Stauf’s Mansion (where most of the game takes place).
• You can use the map to head straight to any accessible room (click on it when you see the Brain Cursor).
• Rooms that are inaccessible are greyed-out on the map. See the image below for what this looks like.
• Rooms that are accessible have three states, that can be seen when you look at the map:
  • Puzzles to be found (room filled with diagonal grey bars)
  • key items or cutscenes to be found (room half-filled with diagonal grey bars)
  • Nothing to be found (room clear/same colour as background)

  See the image below for what they look like. This can help you track what you have left to do, if you get stuck.

Interact with the newspaper on top of the piano’s keyboard for an important cutscene.

Puzzle: Piano Roll
Location: The keyboard of the large piano in the middle of the room.
Hints and Solution:

1. You need to recreate the sample music with the wooden lines with pips on them. It works like a player piano.
2. There is a Hard of Hearing setting in the options to help with this puzzle, it will show the name of the notes on screen.
3. Press the button on the left to hear the sample, press the button on the right to hear the current configuration of the puzzle.
4. You can swap 2 wooden lines, or rotate any wooden line. Click a wooden line while you are holding it in the air to rotate it.
5. You need to be able to recreate the notes heard in the sample.
6. Try to match the lines that have a lot of notes on first, they will help to line up the composition. Or maybe particular sections stand out to you that might be easy to recreate.
7. If you are tone-deaf, like me, you will struggle with this puzzle! You will need a way of distinguishing the notes: I used Audacity, and compared the shapes of the waveforms of the notes to give me clues. Otherwise you will have to guess, or use the Hard of Hearing setting.
8. Each wooden line represents a particular note, each pip represents when a note should be played.
9. The order of the rows of wooden lines has a connection to music notation.
10. The playback of the puzzle’s music does not match the timing of the sample.
11. The playback plays back the notes in 4:4 with a note on every beat, with no rests.
12. The solution to the puzzle is:
    

Items:

• Gas Tank Valve – Location: In the far left corner of the room (having just come through the door), on a chair.

Completing all of the puzzles in : the Kitchen, and the Music Room: unlocks the Dining Room.

Puzzle: Gravestones
Location: On the table, on the cake.
Solution:

1. You need to get all 12 Gravestones to stand up. They will flip from standing up, to lying down when you interact with them.
2. Each Gravestone can affect more than one other Gravestone.
3. The shape of the Gravestone corresponds to the other Gravestones on the cake it will flip.
4. It is quite likely you will do some random moves, and end up winning. It took me many wins to understand it all.
5. Try to keep it symmetrical, you will have to make it symmetrical first!
6. You need to reach a point where the top six graveyards are up, and the bottom 6 are down (or vice versa).
7. If you end up with all of the gravestones down you are just one move away from standing them all up.
8. A quick solution to the puzzle is:
   Flip the Gravestone that is circled at each of the stages.
   

Items:

• Gauge Handle – Location: On the table, to the left of the cake (facing away from the door).

Completing all of the puzzles in : the Dining Room: unlocks the Library, the Upstairs Foyer, and the Heine Room.

Puzzle: Fireplace Squares
Location: In the fireplace.
Solution:

1. You need to break all of the squares by removing 9 of the small bars.
2. You should make rectangles out of the squares.
3. There are many squares of different sizes: 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, and 4×4.
   You can’t make the 4×4 square in to a rectangle. How else can you break it?
4. Arrange the 1×2 rectangle shapes so they break up the bigger squares (think bricks in a wall).
5. You need to Create a 3×1 rectangle, and break the outside square in one place.
6. A solution to the puzzle is:

Items:

• Skull – Location: By the windows (where the telescope is), on the chair to the left of the window.

Puzzle: Balance the Scales
Location: It is inside the purple jewellery box, on the dressing table.
Solution:

1. You need to balance the coloured Balls on the scales, so that all of the scales are in the middle (the red line).
2. The scales are grouped: the first two on the left, then a group of three in the middle, then a group of four on the right.
3. The scales must be balanced within these groups.
4. It would be a good idea to weigh the balls to get a relative value for each of them.
5. In general, you will need to balance a heavy Ball against lighter ones. Split up the heavy balls, one per group.
6. It might be easier, in the long run, if you sort out the group of 4 first, as it is the most complicated. There are a few combinations for the group of 2, so this should help make sure you get the right one.
7. The solution to the puzzle is:
   Place the Balls from left to right in the following order:
   Purple, Orange, Pink, Yellow, Green, Light Blue, Black, Dark Blue, White.

Items:

2. You can split the clock between any two numbers, a line will appear after you have clicked. Four splits only.
3. You might notice that the numbers do not divide in to 4 quarters without using fractions.
4. The numbers on the clock are in Roman Numerals.
5. What is a quirk of Roman Numerals? (How is a nine represented for example?)
6. If you take the figures, out of context of the numbers they represent, there are 4 Xs, 4Vs, and 20 Is (for a total of 80).
7. You don’t need to have the same number of Xs in each quarter, just the same total value (20) in each quarter.
8. The solution to the puzzle is:
   

Completing the puzzle in the Foyer: takes you to the Knox Room, and unlocks the Knox Room, the Bath Room, the Laboratory, the Attic, and the Room at the Top.

Puzzle: Typewriter Word Jumble
Location: On the opposite side of the room from the door to the Hallway, a typewriter on a desk.
Hints and Solution:

1. You need to enter the correct letter on every row to spell out a word using the letters to the left and/or right of the middle column.
2. If you enter the correct letter, the word will be highlighted in Red.
3. You can change any incorrect answers by using the arrow keys to move up and down a line, and then press another letter to retry a line.
4. As you fill in more of the letters, you will notice a theme in the words.
5. You may also notice that more words are created reading down the column of correctly entered letters. This may help you to get the last few rows you are stuck on.

Hints and Solution:

1. You need to arrange the Eyeballs in to the correct configuration. The Eyeballs can be placed in the spots between the Bones.
2. The eyes have different coloured stripes on them.
3. There is a Colour Blind setting in the options to help with this puzzle, it will show labels over the colours.
4. The eyes have different coloured irises. They match the colours of the stripes. The colours are: Green, Black, Pink, Yellow, Blue, Red, and Orange.
5. The stripes represent the number of bones that should be between the current eye, and the eye with the same colour iris as the stripes on the current eye. If there are 2 sets of stripes, then each set of stripes must be worked out separately, but both must be correct.
6. What is the longest number of bones that you need to deal with? Sort out these eyes first.
7. The solution to the puzzle is:
   

Items:

• Steam Cap – Location: Inside the sink (it is on top of the plug hole).

Puzzle: Test Tube Nonogram
Location: On the opposite side of the room from the door to the Hallway, a typewriter on a desk.
Hints and Solution:

1. This is a Nonogram[en.wikipedia.org] (also know as Picross, Griddlers and other names).
2. You need to fill in the grid according to the numbers shown in the rows and columns.
3. If you accidentally click the wrong square to fill in, simply click it again to empty it.
4. If a row or column shows a number (e.g. 5 in Row 1) then there must be that many of contiguously filled spaces in that row or column (e.g. 5 contiguously filled in spaces in Row 1).
5. The challenge is that you do not know where these 5 filled spaces will be, the puzzle is 15×15, so the 5 spaces must appear somewhere in the 15 spaces in Row 1 (lots of combinations).
6. If a row or column shows two or more numbers (e.g. 11 2 in Column 2) then there must be multiple sets of contiguously filled spaces in that row or column (e.g. 11 contiguously filled in spaces in Column 2, and another set of 2 contiguously filled in spaces in Column 2).
7. These sets cannot be connected (So 11 2 can not produce 13 contiguously filled in spaces). The sets must appear in the order shown. If Column 2 was 14 squares tall, then there would only be one configuration that would work (11 + 2 + 1 gap = 14).
8. Column 5 (1 3 2 1 1), for example, will use up at least 12 squares (1 + 1 gap + 3 + 1 gap + 2 + 1 gap + 1 + 1 gap + 1).
9. Because Column 2 is 15 square tall, and the instructions to fill it are 14 tall, there are a lot of square that will be filled in regardless of what the actual configuration of Column 2 is. This is how you are able to progress in the puzzle.
10. If the edge of a row or column is filled in, then the first (or last as appropriate) number of that row/column must start there.
11. There is only one correct solution, there will be a way to start with a “known” row or column and continue to the end by process of elimination, not hypothesis.
12. Never fill in a square that you are not sure is correct, if you notice a mistake in your filled in squares, you should probably restart – you may have based other moves on these incorrect positions.
13. If you are used to Nintendo’s Picross: you cannot mark empty squares, just leave them empty (which means you need to use a bit more of your memory).
14. A good starting point is: Column 1. The grid is 15×15, and this column has a 15 in it, so all of the squares of this column must be filled in.
15. The solution to the puzzle is:
    It is a picture of a skull (using the empty squares, rather than the filled in ones).

Completing the puzzle in the Laboratory unlocks a cutscene in the Hallway.

No Puzzle

Items:

• Lever – Location: In the middle of the room, right in front of you as you come through the door, on top of a model house with lots of windows.

No puzzle

Collecting all of the items for Dr Stauf’s Machine (Items needed: Transformer, Gas Tank Valve, Gauge Handle, Skull, Metal Sphere, Small Coil, Steam Cap, Lever) from: the Kitchen, the Music Room, the Dining Room, the Library, the Heine Room, the Knox Room, the Bath Room, and the Attic; and placing them on the machine in the Room at the Top, AND watching the cutscene in the Hallway: unlocks the Dutton Room.

Puzzle: Connect 3 vs Lilith
Location: On the door to the Chapel.
Hints and Solution:

1. The goal of the game is to connect 3 Squares on the grid (in a line: horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) before the Woman in White does. You go first.
2. You will find out quickly that you do not have separate colours!
3. If you fill in two Squares in such a way that one more square will connect 3 Squares in a line, then your opponent can win on the next move. You need to force the Woman in White in to this position, or you will be forced to give away a win to her.
4. You need to seemingly get a move ahead of Lilith. No matter what you do, she seems to force you to take the first losing move.
5. There is quite a lot of variety in the combinations of Squares that can be filled, and a game can last a variety of turns before a winning/losing state is reached. Choosing which Square to fill will significantly impact the remaining available safe Squares.
6. Lilith forces play by controlling the board. She ensures that the board always ends with you having a choice of two spots to fill in, she takes the last spot, and you are forced to lose on your next turn.
7. If controlling the board is important, then surely the first move is important, if the Woman in White is in control, surely she has taken it from you at some point.
8. There is something at play here, if you watch how Lilith counters your moves, you can observe that she plays with symmetrical patterns to control the range of moves left.
9. How can one start with symmetry? And then continue it?
10. The solution to the puzzle is:
    Start in the middle, and then mirror Lilith’s moves (on both axes around the middle of the puzzle). As far as I know, there is no other way to beat Lilith. However, thinking to try this, without learning from her behaviour for hours, is unlikely. So, this is kind of a trick solution, but you have to put work in to get to it, so it is still satisfying to solve.
    This is an image to show the order of moves:
    The numbers are your moves, in order 1-6, and the letters are Lilith’s counter moves, in order A-E.
    You can connect 3 at the end in a few ways (move number 6).

Hints and Solution:

1. You need to remove the pieces (in pairs) in a way which never leaves any piece unguarded, in each of the 3 sections: inside the house proper, in the entrance, and outside the house (on the table).
2. There is a Colour Blind setting in the options to help with this puzzle, it will show labels over the colours.
3. A sword will attack any piece undefended by a shield. In particular, a sword of a particular colour will only attack a piece with the body of that colour, a shield defends all pieces with a body of the particular colour.
4. You must not remove all white shields before all white swords (the piece in the top window would be left undefended).
5. There are safe pairs of pieces that can stand in the entrance together.
6. With a pair of pieces, you generally need to place the one with sword in the entrance first.
7. Make sure you don’t leave the house undefended when you remove a pair.
8. The pairs are: Red and Purple, Green and Pink, and Black and Yellow.

Puzzle: Knights 3×3
Location: On the floor, in front of the staircase, to the right of the tricycle as you face the stairs.
Hints and Solution:

1. You need to get the White Knights to the spots that the Black Knights are in (and vice versa).
2. The Knights can move to a spot, as they would in Chess (two “forward” and one “across”).
3. The board is a 3×3 grid, you cannot move a Knight in to a position where it would be able to be “taken” by the other colour, according to the rules of Chess.
4. The starting move is to move any Knight in between the two Knights of the opposite colour.
5. You may have to move the pieces back and forth a bit.
6. The key is using the white spaces on the board, they give to access to the destination spaces.
7. There are multiple ways to solve this puzzle (i.e. you can perform all sorts of moves before finally getting the pieces in the right spots). A short solution is presented in the images below:

Puzzle: Spider Maze
Location: It is inside the fridge, click on the fridge door to access it.
Hints and Solution:

1. There is only one place to start click on the 2 right next to the Spider.
2. When the Spider is on a Node with a number (e.g. 2), it can then move to a Node connected to it that is that number of space away (e.g. 2 space away). Node you can move to will have an Eyeball Cursor, those you can’t, a Wagging Hand Cursor.
3. Once you have arrived at a Node on the web, the number is removed, returning to this Node causes you to fail the puzzle.
4. The Prey (the Node to reach) is the red marker in the bottom right hand corner.
5. The Spider can only move in straight lines. It is often hard to distinguish straight lines from almost straight ones.
6. You can go back and forwards, but you can’t visit the same Node twice.
7. Working backwards from the goal should show a valid route, you may have to experiment to find out if a line is straight or not!
8. Directions to move along the correct path are:

9. An image of the correct path:
   

Completing the puzzle: causes you to enter the Maze.

You need to find the exit of the maze to continue with the game.

Hints and Solution:

1. Make a map to keep track of all of the routes. It is very helpful to use graph paper, a spreadsheet program (like Excel), or a dungeon mapping program (I used GridMapper[www.superdan.net] by SuperDan).
2. There are a some squares in the maze where one wall is adorned with some decoration (a blood stain, a noose etc), these can help you navigate the maze (i.e distinguish which corner you are on etc, if you lose your place on your map).
3. It can be solved by hugging the left or right walls, but this won’t allow you to know “where” the exit is.
4. Here is a map of the maze:
   
5. Here is a map of the maze with the shortest route to the exit:
   
6. Here is a list of directions to take the shortest route through the maze:

2. Get the Green Ball on to the Green Square, and the Pink Ball on to the Pink Square.
3. There is a Colour Blind setting in the options to help with this puzzle, it will show labels over the colours.
4. The Balls need to land on their Squares at the same time, or you will fail.
5. Because both Balls need to land on their Squares on the same tilt, they must both come from the same direction.
6. You need to get both Balls in the top left hand corner, before you can get them on their Squares.
7. The list of tilts to complete the puzzle is:
   Down, Right, Up, Right,

2. You can get a rough idea for where the cards should go, based on the cards already set in place.
3. You will need to wind around the available spaces to take account of the cards already placed.
4. The order of the suits is Diamonds, Clubs, Hearts, Spades.
5. It is the whole pack of cards (there are 54 spaces), so watch out for the Jokers!

Hints and Solution:

1. You need to flip around the puzzle to recreate the image of Benjamin Franklin.
2. You can swap with the piece to either side, or directly across the middle.

4. Make sure you get the face round the right way, the scroll under the face reads “Franklin” so make sure that is round the right way first.
5. The following image shows a short sequence to complete the puzzle :
   Each image of Benjamin Franklin’s face shows the current configuration, and the swap you must perform to get to the next configuration.

Puzzle: Number Piano
Location: It is on the Pipe Organ in the corner of the room.
Hints and Solution:

1. You need to press the keys on the keyboard, so that they are all pressed down.
2. Each key has a number on it.
3. Pressing any set of two keys will press a third down (or cause you to fail the puzzle).
4. The key that gets pressed down after you have pressed two is the sum of the two buttons you pressed (e.g. If you press 1 and 2, 3 will be pressed, because 1+2=3).
5. It is a good idea to make sets of 3 numbers, where a+b=c. What numbers are more problematic than others?
6. Try to save the lower numbers, try to make the highest numbers out of other high numbers first.
7. A way to solve the puzzle is the following sequence of keys:
   Press 8, Press 7, Press 9, Press 5, Press 10, Press 3, Press 11, Press 1, Press 4, Press 2.The following is the sequence with the maths, in case you wonder why this works:
   Press 8, Press 7, (8+7=15) 15 is pressed automatically, Press 9, Press 5, (9+5=14) 14 is pressed automatically, Press 10, Press 3, (10+3=13) 13 is pressed automatically, Press 11, Press 1, (11+1=12) 12 is pressed automatically, Press 4, Press 2, (4+2=6) 6 is pressed automatically.

   It might be quicker, in real-time, to enter the following sequence: 1, 11, 2, 4, 3, 10, 5, 9, 7, 8.

Puzzle: Tad vs Stauf
Location: It is in the dollhouse in the corner of the room.
Hints and Solution:

1. You need to connect from left to right (Blue), before Stauf can connect from top to bottom (Red). You do this by filling the hexes with your colour (Blue), taking it in turns, placing one hex, then Stauf places a hex.
2. Stauf is very clever, he will always do the best move he has available.
3. Stauf will try to connect his hexes in the shortest route possible, playing passively will allow him to win.
4. Stauf will try to block your path where possible.
5. Stauf will try to block your path, and improve his own in the same move, maybe you need to do this to?
6. Placing a hex one hex away from the edge gives two options to connect to the edge (Stauf loves doing this).
7. When trying to make a line of hexes across the board you can easily leave yourself two viable options to carry on the line.
8. It is very important to be a move ahead of your opponent, so that they have to react to your move. Stauf is very good at getting in to this position, even though you play the first move.
9. The starting move is very important.
10. You need to start one hex away from the centre.
11. The following image shows a short sequence to beat Stauf:
    The numbers indicate the order to place your hexes, the letters indicate Stauf’s counter moves.
    It works by making Stauf try to block you from the first move, then connecting your hexes and blocking Stauf’s work, then making a two-way connection to one of the blue sides, then you can run along the board, as Stauf tries to block access to your existing hexes, then leaving a gap that can be connected in two places and placing a hex that connect to the other blue side in two places, finally you can connect the last 3 hexes without Stauf blocking you. Other solutions may require less moves.
