You can also right click to rotate them in the opposite direction. Click on the Reset Button (5) to start over. The solution is always the same; however, the starting configuration is random each time you play.

The object is to move all the Keys to the right column, keeping them in the same order, from top to bottom, as they began. Click on a Key and then click the same shaped Lock in the column where you want it to move. Note that the Keys exit and enter columns from the bottom and can’t pass beyond any Keys that are below or above it, in the same column. Click on the Reset Button (blue) to start over. The quickest solution is as follows (The Letter refers to the Row and the Number to the Column you need to move the Key from and then to. Read the chart from left, to right by rows):

Use the Statues on the Scale. The object is to move the Marble from the center of the Maze to the Brass Cup. Click on a Statue and then click on another to switch their places and rotate the Marble Maze. The Statues are all of different weights and the Maze will rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on which Statues you place where. The solution is always the same IF the Statues are placed on the same Scale Bases, each time. For my solution, I placed the Ivory Statue (1) at the top left, the Metal Statue (2) at the bottom left and the Wooden Statue (3) at the top right.
Placing the Statues in these positions makes the first correct rotation of the Maze. The quickest solution is as follows (note that if you placed your Statues other than shown in the image, this solution will not work for you):
Continue up the Steps (1), use Felicia’s Brooch on the Monster Puppet and then click on its Chest (2).
The object is to light the Green Buttons, and avoid lighting the Red Buttons, by pressing the correct Blue Buttons. The correct Blue Buttons will total the number on the Green Buttons. This puzzle is always the same.

The object is to uncross all the Energy Currents. Click on a Fuse (1) and then drag it to a new position. Drag it into one of the slots (2) so you can move the other Fuses. There isn’t one exact solution where everything must be in a certain place. As long as the Currents don’t cross each other, it’s solved. When complete, click and drag the Pointer, counter-clockwise, to the “Min” marking on the Dial.
Watch the ending movie and credits. Congratulations! You’ve completed the PuppetShow: Lost Town.
