Marble Puzzle!

Can anyone help me. I just started this game and when I get to the fire place and take the burnt receipt and coal nothing happens! The marble game never appears. What am I doing wrong?

I think I can help you harleydavidson5 if you'll give me a couple of minutes...I sent you a PM

ETA: Did you pick up the paper from the floor in front of the portraits?

yea I piked up the sketching of the crow, I,v been in the cemetery model got the eyeball from the trophy looked through the book where everybody buried can't get the darn marble puzzle to appear?HELP!

Wow! Even UHSHints has nothing...Maybe it's a glitch because everything I've found says that the puzzle should open as soon as you've found the coal...Unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible LOL

You have to trigger the marble puzzle yourself. It's not automatic and it's not in the fireplace.
It's like one of the really old arcade games set into a pub table. If you look at the table to the right of the fireplace, you'll see up / down / left / right arrows set into it. Go in close to that.
(I played as Senior Detective. Junior Detective may be different).

Mr Russ Thankyou for your answer to the marble game it was spot on.
