Eight queens that do NOT get along:

OBJECTIVE: Position eight queens on the board so that no queen can
           capture another queen. NOTE: Queens can move in any
           direction including diagonals for as many squares as
           they want.

Blood flow:

OBJECTIVE: Open/Close gates so that the blood can flow from the
           heart to the end. NOTE: Click the heart to get the
           blood flowing when you think you have it.

The easiest strategy I found was to start from the end. Click the
gates and you will notice that the end with the little ball is
fixed. Click the gates open and closed so that there is a
continuous path for the blood to follow. By staring at the end
this path is obvious.

aMAZEing, isn't it?

OBJECTIVE: Find your way through the maze to the basement. Another
           puzzle awaits you there. NOTE: The room with the Bishop
           puzzle has a maze on a carpet. This is also the map to
           the basement.  The maze is recreated below. The lengths
           of sections in the actual maze seem different than the

           map indicates even though the overall relationship of
           openings etc. seems correct.

Cans in the pantry:

OBJECTIVE: Rearrange the cans so that they make a complete
           sentence. The only VOWEL is Y.

Here is a hint from the game:

Bashful nomad, craftily, agilely, meet secretly near my
underground vault.

And here is the final solution:

                Shy
           gypsy  slyly
           spryly tryst
           by my  crypt




Letter Flowers on my bedspread:

OBJECTIVE:  Make a sentence from the letters on the bedspread.

NOTE: From the last selected letter the next letters that can be
      used are either -5, -3, +3 or +5 letters away.

NOTE: The STARS are used as spaces.

Here is the flow for the answer:  KEY:  Spaces-to-move Letter

    Start with the T                   +5 Y
    (Work       +5 H                   -3 O

Grating - Ain't it?

OBJECTIVE: Move the grate parts around so that the circle cut in
           two of them is over the opening. The bottom one
           protects you from the spikes.

I've numbered the six positions of the grates like this:


       1           2          3

       4           5          6

Click on these positions to arrange the grates so that you
can get through:

          5
          6
          3
          2
          5
          4
          1
          2  (The top circle should be in position 1)
          5
          6
          3
          2
          5  (The bottom circle should be in position 2)
          4
          1
          2
          3
          6
          5
          4
          1
          2
          3
          6
          5
          4
          1
          2
          3
          6
          5  (You should now have a completed circle)


Coins on the Briefcase:

OBJECTIVE: Turn over ALL coins. Once a coin is turned over only
           the coins along the column above/below or on the row to
           the right/left of it can be flipped. There are two
           puzzles in the sequence.

  Solution:
               +----+----+                   +----+
               | 20 | 19 |                   |  1 |
          +----+----+----+    +----+         +----+----+
          |  1 |    |  2 |    |  3 |         |  2 |  3 |
          +----+    +----+    +----+----+    +----+----+----+
                    | 13 |         | 14 |    | 15 |  4 |  5 |
     +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+    +----+----+----+----+
     |  9 |  8 | 21 | 12 | 16 |  4 | 15 |    | 14 | 13 |  6 |  7 |
     +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+    +----+----+----+----+
     | 10 |         | 11 |                        | 12 | 11 |  8 |
     +----+----+    +----+    +----+              +----+----+----+

          |  7 |    |  6 |    |  5 |                   | 10 |  9 |
          +----+    +----+----+----+                   +----+----+
                    | 18 | 17 |
                    +----+----+
