Regarding your route into the
Upper West Wing, that definitely isn't the intended route. I'm impressed you were able to get through that way; I tried to make it difficult, but evidently not quite impossible. Which door worked for you?
It was the northernmost of the
three blocked by desks.

Enjoying this one, love the atmosphere!
However, i'm a bit stuck...
So far I've been to Staff Only area, Chief of Staff office, Staff offices, the gallery and all Penthouse suites.I found the note to Brouwer when I got the 8 ball, but I've no idea where to get his poem. Not sure who Brouwer is or where his room is.

Glad you're enjoying it! Sounds like you've yet to discover something very unusual about the Penthouse's spiral staircase :cheeky:
Head back up to the Wishing Pond and pay close attention to your surroundings as you head up (especially as you get to the top).
Outright spoiler: This is a double helix staircase. You need to get to the other helix. (Rope arrows into the beams above can help.)

Thanks trefoilknot - that's just what I needed!
My usual problem - in too much of a hurry to notice. I'd even walked all round the little platform at the top!

Cool FM! Was having fun until I reached a dead end. I cant figure out how to get the stone? I see it, I grab it, and gate closes. Tried turning off the power using the painting thing, but that didn't work. Any better clues?
Also, How to get into the guest suites? I got onto the balcony and visited the other balconies, but I see no way to enter these other suites

Indeed, anyone who dislikes puzzle missions should probably steer clear of this one.
I'm useless with puzzle FM's and this one is almost too obscure for me but I so want to beat this mission so I can write a decent comment in the Brief Summaries... ;)
So a couple of helps would be appreciated.
How do you get into the room with the 2 wooden doors in the guards area of the penthouse,
looks like you should be able to jump to the flower bed window sill but only fall to my death that way.
Have solved the 4 cubes puzzle and
got the spectacles and have been to all the pictures and entered them but can't see anything to do i
n any of the pictures, what am I missing?

That's the right idea with the window sill, but it is a tricky jump. Totally optional though, so no need to go crazy trying to get it.
In the paintings- look up!

You might like to try
aiming your jump towards the corner of the flower bed, i.e. slightly to the right.Quote Posted by RJS66

There is a way to leave that room with the gate closed.
Further hint:
Think spectacles.

Thanks Urgrue, yes that's tight jump and now I have a badly needed health potion. :thumb:
btw how many floors has this hotel? If you jump out of the window by the card table you'll see why I ask, it's taller than the Empire State building. :cheeky:
