There are a total of 4 buildings in the Villa Courtyard. Each building has 5 levels. Players are required to team up with NXX members to complete all levels. Each building includes several of the following puzzles. | |||
'''TIP''': Some levels are tougher than the others. Players are recommended to complete all levels ''before'' returning to the individual buildings to collect the artifacts, keys, and silk pouches. | |||

Tap and hold the "Start" block. Move your finger through the blocks to draw a path that leads to the corresponding "End" block. Draw through all the blocks to solve the puzzle. | |||

===Bright Pavillion=== | |||
With the help of the Lamp Light, the NXX Investigation Team needs to light up the path and search for the items dropped in the pavillion. The Lamp Light provides Light Value, which depletes with time. When the Light Value reaches 0, NXX members will fall into darkness and lose their way in the building. There are Candlesticks available within the building. Go near a Candlestick to recover Light Value. There are also door mechanisms within the building. Search for the corresponding switches to open these doors. | |||
===Labyrinth Pavillion=== | |||
The NXX Investigation Team must hide from the patrolling staff and surveillance cameras within a limited time period and find the exit without setting off the alarm.
