We have additional cursor types not mentioned to aid you in manipulating

* A hand with a pointed finger - Signals a hotspot to be effected by
clicking
* An open hand - Signals a hot spot to be grabbed. Click and keep
the mouse button down
* A closed hand - Signals a "grabbed" hotspot, keep your button down
and move your mouse.
* An enhanced 180° turn cursor - Allows you to turn left or right in
a room, and is usually activated by placing your cursor towards the
bottom left or right area of the viewing screen.
PUZZLES
At times you will be presented with an up-close puzzle to solve. To
exit the puzzle, move your cursor around the edges of the screen till
an "up-arrow" cursor appears, then click.
If you find you need a little help with the puzzles, while presented
with one, bring up the lower inventory bar, and click on the
"Cluedo" logo. You will have 3 levels of hints to get you through them.
