How do players find the code on the checkerboard?

• A. By following arrows on the labels of the whiskey bottles in the correct order
• B. By counting the whiskey bottles
• C. By solving a math puzzle on the back
• D. By reading a note under the rug

Answer: (A)

Using directional clues on objects to reveal a hidden code. The arrows on the whiskey bottle labels show the order you must follow. By reading or arranging the labels in that order, you trace a path on the checkerboard, and the squares you land on (in that sequence) provide the digits or symbols that form the code. This is why following the arrows in the correct order is the intended method. Counting bottles would give a single number, and a math puzzle on the back or a note under the rug would point to a different clue type, not the sequence encoded by the bottle arrows.
