After that, tap on the arrow at the bottom to go back.

Select the “Box” from the inventory and it will appear in the middle of the screen. After that, select the “Chisel” from the inventory and try to break the lock.

Our character didn’t manage to break the lock. Let’s see what we can do about it. Select the “Cool Compressor” from the inventory and place it in front of the box.

Next, select the “Tube” from the inventory and attach it to the compressor.

Our character will use the compressor to freeze the lock, and now we should be able to break it. So, let’s select the “Chisel” from the inventory and use it to break the lock.

Let’s tap on the coffin to take a closer look at it, and tap again to start the interaction.

It seems that the victim is still alive and locked in the coffin. However, there is also a bomb attached to the coffin and the time is ticking down, so we will have to find a way to defuse it, and quickly.

Tap on the right side of the bomb to start the interaction. Select the four “Keys” from the inventory and place them next to the blue keys.

Our next task is to combine the keys and create shapes that will match the keyholes at the top. Let’s do that. First, let’s create the key for the keyhole on the left.
So, let’s select the green key, yellow key and the blue key on the left. After that, tap on the keyhole on the left.

Next, let’s create the key for the keyhole on the right.
So, let’s select the grey key, purple key and blue key on the right. After that, tap on the keyhole on the right.

However, the bomb exploded as soon as our character opened the coffin. We will continue our investigation as Detective Maze. Her task is to investigate the other location, “OCEANBLUE”. Let’s proceed.

Our next task is to rotate the wheels into the correct position. So, the red arrow on the wheel on the left should point to the yellow arrow in the top left corner. Also, the red arrow on the wheel on the right should point to the yellow arrow in the top right corner.
With that said, let’s rotate the wheels into the correct positions.

Let’s memorize/write down the symbols inside the wheels because this information represents the hint for the next puzzle.
Once you’re done, tap on the arrow at the bottom to go back.

Next, you will notice something under the glass floor. Let’s tap on it to take a closer look.

Next, let’s tap on the vending machine on the other side of the room to take a closer look at it. After that, tap on the two wheels to start the interaction.

Here, we have another puzzle. The goal is to rearrange the symbol. The position of the symbols should match the position that we saw on the hint with the two wheels.
We will do this puzzle in several steps. Let’s begin.
Step 1
Select the wheel on the left, then tap on the first button at the bottom to swap the symbols.

Step 2
Select the wheel on the right, then tap on the second button at the bottom to swap the symbols.

Step 3
Tap on the red arrows to swap the symbols between the wheels.

Step 8
Lastly, select the wheel on the right, then tap on the first button at the bottom to swap the symbols. With that, you will solve this puzzle.

In the vending machine, you will find an “Ice cube”. Let’s tap on it to pick it up. After that, tap on the arrow at the bottom to go back.

Select the “Ice cube” from the inventory and it will appear in the middle of the screen. After that, select the “Blowtorch” from the inventory and use it to melt down the ice cube.

Once you melt down the ice cube, you will discover another “Steel board”. Let’s tap on it to pick it up.
After that, tap on the “X” button to close this window.

Select the “Steel board” (with a plus) from the inventory and it will appear in the middle of the screen.
After that, select the other “Steel board” from the inventory and merge it with the first one.

Here, we have another puzzle. This is a logical puzzle, and once we solve it, we will discover the correct three digits. We will do this puzzle in several steps. Let’s begin.
Step 1
If we look at the first row we will see the numbers 6, 8, and 2. One of these three numbers is correct, and it is in the correct position.
If we look at the second row we will see the numbers 6, 1, and 4. One of these numbers is correct, but it is in the wrong position.
So, we can eliminate the number 6 because it is in the first slot in both rows (first and second). The number in the first row is in the correct position, while the number in the second row is in the wrong position.
In the first step, we will focus on the first row. We eliminated the number 6, so the number in the correct position is either number 8 in the second slot or the number 2 in the third slot.
Let’s take a look at the fourth row. Here, we can see the numbers 7, 3, and 8 and none of these numbers is correct. So, we can also eliminate the number 8.
With that, we can conclude that the number 2 is the correct number, and it should be placed in the third slot.

Step 2
Let’s take a look at the third row. Here, we can see the numbers 2, 0, and 6. Two numbers are correct but in the wrong position. We already discovered that we don’t have the number 6 so we can eliminate it.
So, the correct numbers are number 2 and number 0. Number 2 should be in the third slot (we have already discovered that). The number 0 is the correct number, but it shouldn’t be placed in the second slot. The third slot is already occupied by number 2.
So, the first slot is the correct position for the number 0.

Step 3
Let’s look for the last number. If we take a look at the second row we will see the numbers 6, 1, and 4. One of these numbers is correct but it is in the wrong position. We already eliminated the number 6 so it is either 1 or 4.
The first slot is already occupied by the number 0, and the third slot is occupied by the number 2, and only the second slot is open. So, number 1 isn’t the correct number, because the correct number in this row isn’t in the correct position.
With that said, we can conclude that the number 4 should be in the second slot. When we put it all together, we will get the number “042”. Let’s memorize/write down this number because we will need it for the next puzzle.
Once you’re done, tap on the “X” button to close this window.

Let’s tap on the box on the left to take a closer look at it.

Enter the number “042” that we discovered previously, and you will unlock the box.

With that, you will save the child, and you will successfully solve this case.

However, the reporters accused Detective Kyle, claiming that he provoked the Black Spider, and failed to stop him. Their logic is completely flawed, but that’s kind of common with the media nowadays. Anyway, Detective Kyle was suspended.
With that, we have reached the end of the seventeenth level. If you want to see the walkthrough for the eighteenth level, tap on the next part button.
