To Earn A Fortune

Hello.

Seeing how you must have found yourself here, it seems you may require some... additional support. Therefore, I have taken the time to include an unnecessary extra clue for you. I was forewarned that this may be too difficult for some of my weaker-minded guests, so despite my confidences, I have installed these fail-safes.

Congratulations on getting far enough on your own for this error to become possible.

I raised that any who required fail-safes are perhaps unworthy of the fortune promised by most swift completion. I have been advised that even those unworthy of my fortune are not deserving of entrapment. Touché.

Please ensure this notice is left as I have left it: framed, on the East-facing wall of the first bedroom of the West Wing, left of the door, 6" above the light switch, at a 5° angle from parallel to the doorframe.

Do not remove from this location, lest others somehow struggle as you have. Cameras have been disguised throughout the house to ensure any cheating is left unrewarded during the distribution of my aforementioned fortune. Sabotaging others is considered cheating.

Your exit instructions are enclosed in the envelope atop the corner chest. Please memorise its contents and return it to this location before leaving. Incorrect placement of the envelope is considered sabotage of others.

If the seal is already broken, congratulations (again), you are not alone in your idiocy check the corner for my crest to ensure it has not been tampered with. No such stamp has been provided at any point.

If the contents of the envelope have been removed, and you cannot fathom the next move yourself, you may help yourself to the water in the miniature refrigerator which has been allocated specifically for these such occasions. This room is cleaned weekly and the help know the secrets of the house well enough to see you out.

This envelope contains instructions to exit Bedroom 1.

1. Locate the screwdriver from the second drawer of the writing desk.

2. Unscrew the handle from this side of the door.

3. Remove the key from within the handle.

4. Unlock the door.

5. Wedge the door open with the provided doorstop.

6. Replace the key in the handle.

7. Replace the false handle on the door.

8. Return the screwdriver to the second drawer of the writing desk.

9. Push the doorstop out of the way as you leave.

Once outside of Bedroom 1, retrace your steps to the Main Room and study the photographs more closely to discover which room you should have entered and proceed as intended.

This room is scheduled for biweekly cleaning while not in use. The help know the secrets of the house well enough to see you out.
