Mechanical Puzzles
Every brain‑twister is built from Leonardo’s inventions, such as war machines, lockboxes and gear‑driven devices. Players must manipulate levers, rotate gears or align components that exist physically in the workshop.
When a puzzle is solved, a new area opens or another mechanism activates, linking challenges together and encouraging systematic exploration of the environment.
