One complete write-up
GameSpew names Days Von By, Banding Together, Rest in Paint, Deciphering Melodies, Pushing up Daisies, Von but Not Forgotten, A Well-Kept Secret, The Third Chamber, A Crypt-ic Reveal and Off the Rails. The piano is E, then D, then E-C-G. The drum is snare, snare, bass, crash, floor tom. The trombone shapes are circle, pentagon, square, triangle, hexagon. The singer costs $20. I am not rounding that into a single “music code.”
The art room strings are 342 and LION, with pink, blue, green, red, orange. The music box is B-F-C-D-A-E and the word CHORD. The third chamber is 57A3 and TIME, with the animal line sheep, beef, palm, bee, whale, and the portrait set Alistair, student, youth. The mine cart words are DUSTY, 3241, 231 and 9238.
Use the room headings to follow the route in order: recruit the band before the art tasks, recover the Stone Tablet after HISTORY, then complete The Third Chamber before the minecart. Story conversations between the rooms have no lock code.
