Task brief

The task brief is presented on the table in the study. The brief for the task is as follows:

[In normal ink, on the front] Your time starts now.

[In UV ink, on the front] Free Antoine.

Fastest wins.

[In UV ink, on the back] Look on the clock.

Task notes

Only part of the instructions on the task brief are printed in normal, visible ink, and some of it has to be revealed through the use of a UV torch, which is located in the pencil cup on the desk.
The UV torch is also essential to revealing the hidden code of ‘911’ on the melting clock on Louis’ portrait.
The numerical code can then be used to open the combination lock on the box found on the shelf under the portrait.
The jigsaw puzzle inside the locked box, when solved, reveals the clue “L'Etranger [The Stranger], Albert Camus, P.83-65”, which refers to a book that the contestants can find in the study.
When the contestants find the book and look at the right word on the right page, they will find the word ‘cabanon’ (‘shed’).
Inside the shed, the contestants find a party popper, inside of which there is the clue “Look behind the frames”.
Behind one of the framed photos in the study, there is a Polaroid photo of Antoine’s handcuffed hands, holding the handcuff key.
