Once a name was marked off, a red 'x' was painted on the gravestone. Working together, players managed to rule out all but one name by 28 October - the Spirit of Slumber's real name was Jubart Igig. | Once a name was marked off, a red 'x' was painted on the gravestone.

===The Summoning Potion=== | |||
[[Image:tow bruno hairy.gif|left|frame|Bruno had to suffer Sophie's trial-and-error.]] | |||
In order to summon the Spirit, Sophie needed to make a potion for Bruno to drink. However, she wasn't sure of exactly which ingredients, or how much of them, she needed. | |||
In this step, the player had to create three potions before Sophie got it right. Each experiment started with a cauldron full of red potion, and the player had to change it into a different colour. Each ingredient they could add could change some colours of potions into a different colour. For example, an ingredient might change a red potion to a blue potion, a green potion to a red potion, and have no effect on a blue potion. What each ingredient did to each colour potion was different for each player and each experiment. | |||

In the first experiment, the player had the first three ingredients to use - Bumroot, Leafy Slorgblossom, and Crushed Jurpleberries. The player had to make a purple potion without adding more than four ingredients - adding too many ingredients would cause to potion to turn black and bubble over, and the user would have to start again. The purple potion wasn't right - it just made Bruno grow a lot of hair. | |||
In the second experiment, the player had a new ingredient to work with - Salt - and had to make a four-colour swirl potion. They could add up to six things before the potion boiled over. The potion they began with was different to the first potion - this meant that the ingredients would have a slightly different effect. This potion ended up shrinking Bruno instead. | |||
In the third experiment, the player had another new ingredient - Bronze Sansam. The player could add up to nine things in order to make a silver and red potion. This was the correct potion at last. | |||
