Think outside the box! Card Shark, Marble Madness, Sock It to Me! & Dizzy Walk In the beginning there's "Jewels of Xanadu" on the cover--where the chances of unlocking the special color-coded safe could be 1 in millions or 1 in 64, depending on where you start.

(Solutions and explanations are provided of course!)… (more)
