The aim of this puzzle is to start from the bottom of the house and move to the top by going from window to window. The directions that you take from each window are determined when you first move from that shaped window to another, i.e. if you start at a rectangular window and move left you can only move left from a rectangular window from then on. There are four different shaped windows which will need to be set to the four different directions, once a window has been set to direction it remains set until the end of the puzzle. Also, once a window has been set when you land on that shaped window the computer will automatically follow its own route using the directions you have set. The house is in three levels and you will have to pick a start window on each of the levels.
The Microscope puzzle is similar to the game of [[Ataxx]]: the idea is to have more blobs of blue (your colour) than green when the whole tray is full. Your blobs can move in one of two ways;
* Move one space in any direction, duplicates to fill that space
* Move two space, when you do this the original space is vacated and the blob moves to the new space. If the space you move into is adjacent to any green blobs all the green blobs adjacent to it turn blue.

To solve the puzzle start at the bottom, and work your way up.
There is no sequential solution to the game, it's just a matter of you working out the right strategy to win.

* '''Bottom''': Start at the sixth window from the left at the bottom and set the windows as follows; The round window to up, the semi-circular window to right, the arched window to down and the rectangular window to left. If you do it correctly, you should follow the path shown to the right.
