[HE KNEW THERE WAS A FUCKING SECRET PASSAGE IN THE READING ROOM. HE FUCKING KNEW IT. It's just begging for a locked room murder. Apparently he was right about the bar too but that clue isn't as obvious so he's going to save it for later. And he wasn't as convinced about that one. It just seemed as good a place as any. So at like...three in the morning on Monday night, when everyone should be asleep and not planning murders, he's checking out the reading room.]

[Specifically: all the bottoms of the bookshelves for anything that's been "knocked loose".]

Underneath a bookshelf in the reading room is loose floorboard hiding a crawlspace. From there, you can come out through a ceiling panel above the bar or the kitchen. However, the space is very narrow and dusty, so you'll get dirty if you use it.

Alright and just to maybe save a little time here...

Second floor hallway: Of last round's contestant's, he'll flip whoever's portrait is second from the right upside down.

Parlour: Is there a copy of And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express, both by Agatha Christy in the book cabinet? If there is, and he pulls both of them, will a secret passage reveal itself?

Bar: Drags a barstool over to the walls and starts looking for any high-up frayed knots in the paneling.

Study: Wastes exactly twenty minutes spinning the damn globe around, waiting for something to happen.

Stables: Checking out Ciel's water trough. In it, under it, on the bottom of it, the sides of it...

2nd floor: Flipping the second portrait from the right in the second floor hallway upside down will cause it to swing open, revealing a long tunnel that emerges in the middle of the woods. From there, it's around a ten-minute walk away to the baths. However, the painting must stay turned upside down until the door closes, which means that it has to be turned back right-side up by hand later.

Parlour: If someone pulls out the copies of And Then There Were None and Murder On The Orient Express simultaneously in the bookshelf in the parlor, a trapdoor will open. From there, you can drop into a cell in the dungeons that holds a pair of shackles, a bonetooth saw, a large and heavy hammer, and thumbscrews. However, the door to the cell is locked from the inside, so the only way out is to find a way to climb back up through the trap door.

Bar: Pushing one of the knots on the wall behind the bar will open a passageway that leads to the garage.

Study: Spinning the globe in the study for twenty minutes will reveal a hidden room with a stairwell going straight up. At the top of the stairs is a trapdoor that seems to lead into the museum, but it's locked.

Stables: He'll have to do better than that! But he's on the right track.

[Alright then, does Ciel's trough have a water pump either attached directly to it or cemented in place next to it?]

[productions]

Nope!

[Dammit. Is there a water pump anywhere in the stables? Outside it maybe?]
