Enter with the key and hot-water tub
During Doing the Washing, wash all seven items and hang them in this order: shirt, boxers, cloth, jeans, four-stripe sock, five-stripe sock, towel. The shirt pocket yields the bathroom key. Unlock the door, talk to Alexandra and pour the retained Tub With Hot Water into the bath. She then asks for soap.
The small box on the table is the moving-tile puzzle. The pictures on the wall behind the bath are an association puzzle. Their rewards and input rules are different; neither is the secret post-game tile sequence.
Open the table’s sliding soap box
Collect the cookie on the table before zooming into the box. The pieces travel across their row or column until something stops them. Build temporary barriers with other pieces so the marked tiles can finish on the matching diagonal positions.
The following sequence uses the untouched arrangement. “Top,” “bottom,” “second” and “fourth” identify positions in that starting line; keep following the same moved piece when a step gives several directions. The circle tile and the tile with four points around a circle are separate pieces.
Move the bottom tile right
Drag the lowest tile all the way to the right.
Move the circle tile
Drag the middle circle tile right, then down.
Move the fourth tile right
Count the starting tiles from the top and drag the fourth one to the right.
Move the second tile across
Drag the second starting tile across the board.
Return the circle tile
Move the circle tile left, then up.
Bring the four-point tile left
Move the tile with four points around its circle left until it meets the circle tile.
Bring the bottom tile back
Move the original bottom tile back to the left.
Move the circle down
Slide the circle tile down.
Move the top tile right
Slide the original top tile across to the right.
Route the original bottom tile
Move it right, then up, then left until it meets the four-point tile.
Route the circle tile
Move it right, then up.
Move the tile above it
Slide that tile right, then all the way down.
Close the diagonal
Move the upper tile on the right back to the left.
Checkpoint: The box opens and reveals Soap. Add it to the bathtub.
If you have already moved the pieces, this starting-layout sequence may no longer match your board. Use the movement rule to restore or finish the diagonal rather than continuing to count tiles from their new positions. The opened box and soap—not a particular animation count—confirm completion.
Match the wall’s six groups of four
On a narrow screen, scroll the table sideways to read all columns.
| Group | What belongs together |
|---|---|
| Plants | Four flower/plant pictures. |
| Animals | Four animal pictures. |
| People | The three adults and the baby. |
| Furniture | The four pieces of furniture. |
| Body parts | Four body-part pictures. |
| Remaining props | Gun, top hat, bottle and briefcase. |
When every group is matched, a tile opens for the Scissors. There is no need to slide these wall pictures like the soap-box pieces. For the later letter-driven replay, use the secret-clip sequence; it is a different objective.
Make the comb and complete the bath
Take the hairpin and maggot
After adding soap, remove Alexandra’s hat and hairpin. Use the scissors on the stitches at her neck/back and take the maggot.
Make the bone comb
Put the cookie by the mousehole under the table. Use the hairpin on the mouse, remove the pin again and put the maggot into the dead mouse. Take the Bone Comb.
Get Alexandra into the bath
Comb her hair and undo her dress buttons.
Pop each bubble chain
Inspect the tiny dot within each bubble: it points toward the bubble it will strike. Choose the starting bubble whose chain reaches every bubble in the set. Repeat for the following sets; use the shown dot direction rather than a fixed left/right first click.
Finish the bath interaction
Use the hairpin on the hand emerging from the water. Once Alexandra sleeps, use the scissors to remove the pendant from her necklace.
Checkpoint: Pendant in inventory; the letter/briefcase route can now finish.
The optional Cleaning the Windows achievement is available when the window steams up during the bath. Clear every pane and inspect the masked figure. It is separate from making the soap or collecting the comb.
Use the letters to obtain the timepiece
Hang Alexandra’s hat on the stand and take the notes from her hat and dress. Put them on the table by the window with the original numbered letter. Align the X marks so they cross out the unwanted digits; the remaining code is 281.
Open the briefcase with 281 and remove its smaller box. Fit the pendant into that box and take the Bronze Timepiece. This is the endpoint of the bath task’s timepiece chain. Continue to Day 2 Night for William’s gold timepiece and the cellar.
