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.
 
===Ink Study===
====Appraisal====
Choose the correct item based on its characteristics mentioned in the story. Swipe the screen to rotate the item and inspect its details.
 
====Mechanical Lock====
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.
 
====Jade Plate Lock====
The Jade Plate Lock is formed by several rings. Swipe the screen to rotate each ring and connect the lines on the rings to solve the puzzle. When rotating the rings, some rings will interact with each other. The puzzle may be reset to its original state at any time.
 
===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. At the same time, the team should collect as many items in the building as possible. All NXX Investigation Team members must reach the exit to pass the level.
 
'''TIP:''' You can hide behind the screens to prevent the patrolling staff from finding you.

This area includes the Ink Study, Labyrinth Pavillion, and other integrated gameplay.
