Open the box and collect a Relief from the doll's hands on the left. Return to the restaurant and inspect the table just to the right of the gramophone; it has a small panel on the side.

Before you leave this episode

The sequence includes every item required to finish the episode. Optional morphing objects and bonus collectibles are not needed for the exit. If the final transition does not start, reopen the most recent close-up and confirm that every required inventory item was used rather than merely collected.

Notes and precautions

This guide is mapped to Tricky Doors Level 11, “Circus.”
Complete inventory actions in order; later objects often remain inactive until an earlier mechanism is solved.
If an item will not combine, return to the scene where the game first introduced the matching clue.
The episode ends only after the final portal, vehicle, door, or story transition activates.

Useful solving habits

1Rotate your attention between the full scene and close-up panels; small tools are often hidden at the edge.
2Keep written recipes, symbol patterns, and color orders available until the related lock is complete.
3Inspect inventory objects directly because many tools must be assembled before they can be used.
4For randomized minigames, follow the stated rule instead of copying one fixed board layout.
