Your mission

Midnight the cat wants to be an inventor, and the workshop door is locked five ways. An INVENTION is something new that solves a problem. Inventors notice a problem, think of ideas, build a model, and test it. Most first tries do not work, so they fix them and try again. Some inventors were grown-ups in laboratories, and some were kids with a good idea.

How to crack a lock

  • Pick any lock from the menu at the top. You can solve them in any order.
  • Read every clue before you start. One clue alone is never enough.
  • Use scratch paper. Draw pictures, make lists, and cross things out.
  • Tap the buttons to build your answer. Then press "Try the lock".
  • A lock will not tell you which part is wrong, so be sure before you try.
