Player Names. It’s possible to name players; their names will appear above their avatar for the duration of the game. To do this, after launching the game (у игроков будет отображаться сцена со сказочными облаками) and BEFORE launching any particular level (Hole, Lake и т.д.) you will need to, on by one, select each player screen (RED, GREEN, etc.) and enter in the player name below the center screen.

Game Walkthrough
Communicating with the Players and Hints
During the game you can give players hints by using the program suite. To do so click the “MIC” button and speak when the button is pressed (the MIC icon will turn red):
- Always give players a choose: do they need a hint or not.
- A hint shouldn’t be overly clear. Players should still have to think about what to do next.
- If players are on the right path, be sure not to give them hints about other puzzles. This might undercut or skew their impressions of the game.
- If you see that a player(s) cannot solve a puzzle in more than 10 minutes, it’s a good idea to ask them if they need help.
- In the first 30 minutes it’s HIGHLY recommended to talk to your players. Find out if they are confused, unhappy with the experience or you see that they are feeling sick/motion sickness. IN THIS CASE BE SURE NOT TO GIVE THEM HINTS WHEN TALKING TO THEM! Ask them how they’re doing, are they able to control their avatar, what tasks are they currently working on. Players should feel that you are actively concerned about them and their user experience.

During the replicas of the audio guide, the microphone button is temporarily unavailable.

In the boats floating on the lake, there are sleeping chess pieces and disabled alarm clocks. Players need to insert the batteries from chests on the coast into alarm clocks. The batteries has a certain shape and color. Also they can be invisible for more difficult if you set "Hide batteries" on the settings in the operator's program before starting the game. Lambs in the boats give clues, if someone takes an alarm clock. By the way, with the sheeps themselves you can do anything you want, for example throw them to your partners, it's very fun!
a) Hints: "We need to somehow wake up the chess pieces!"

2. When the battery is inserted in the alarm clock, it wakes up and get back into its boat. It is required to include in this way up to six alarm clocks (depending on the number of players). Next, we'll have to wake up chess. To do this, you need to take an alarm clock and shake it near the chess piece until it wakes up.

At the end of the game, a pawn remains, which turns into a queen and tells players about the key to the labyrinth's gates. The key is in the beak of one of the flamingos, standing on the shore of the lake. Need to take it, open the gate to the labyrinth and go to the next level.

The player needs to collect the grain in the hat, open the lid in the head of the Jabberwocky and pour the grain there. It is necessary to twist the ears of this creature together, then the flour will be poured from the nose. Collect the flour in the hat and it should be poured into a cake mold, which stands on the stove.

6. When the cake is ready, the Duchess appears. While she is eating the cake, you need to steal her key to open the door in the bottom of the clocks. Then players need to take the bottles and drink it. Players decrease in size and through a small passage they should get out from the kitchen.
Time machine
- In this location, players need to put gears from the clockwork mechanism into their places in three parts of the location. They all differ in color. First you need to find the assembly diagram. If you bring it to the mirror, you will see the colors of the gears and the order of their location.
а) Hint: "The mirror will tell the color".
- Gears fly in the air and they need to be lured by playing a melody on the piano. One of the players presses the keys on the piano. Others can pick up gears and put them to their places. The color of the score on the piano corresponds to the color of the gears, and the piano keys are highlighted similarly to it. To change the color, you need to turn the page.
а) Hint: "What a beautiful grand piano, try to play on it".
- When all the gears are placed in their places, the mechanisms come to life and tell the players some figures. On the floor is a shadow from the large clock dial. Players need to stand on the shadow of the clock dial on the numbers indicated. If there is a number of the figures are more than number of the players, then players need to stand on the remaining numbers after the previous ones. This will launch the Time Mechanism.

Watching through the Robot and Photographing the Players
An operator can control the robot from the side on the players’ behalf. The robot’s screen, by default, will take up a large portion of the screen; player screens are laid out to the left/right of it.
To control a Robot:

- Forward, left, right, back - W, A, D, S
- To fly up/down - Q, E
- Take a photo - click on the middle mouse button
Take photos of the players and perfectly-timed screenshots; players can even pose for photos. To do so you need to remember that this takes up computing resources: it comes in the form of a tiny bit of lag on one player’s screen.
Screenshots are saved on the Operator’s Computer in the Alice_Screenshots folder.
Observation through Players’ Camera
By default, Player Screens are located to the left of the Robot Screen. To look through the ‘eyes’ of one of the players, you will need to click on that Player’s Screen and it will expand, replacing the Robot Screen. To bring back the Robot Screen, click on the Player Screen again.
