Electrical Switchboard

The Electrical Switchboard puzzle is found in the bottom right of the Control Room after clicking the electronic equipment. To reach this room in The Mermaid Mask, you first need to talk to Captain Sinthia Seafoam through the door in the parlor, then speak with Symmetry in the Child's Room; after confirming that conversation with Sinthia, she'll open the door for you.

The puzzle asks you to wire plugs into sockets so the pattern on the sticky note lights up, with each socket carrying its own pattern and each plug feeding into two sockets that share a pattern. The Red Plug, shaped like a triangle, goes into Sockets 1 and 9. The Yellow Plug, a circle, goes into Sockets 4 and 6. The Blue Plug, a square, goes into Sockets 3 and 11. Wiring the plugs correctly unlocks the Captain's Log.

Electronic Panel

The Electronic Panel puzzle sits on the wall of the Control Room next to the jacket display, and it only unlocks after reporting to Sinthia. You need to drag tiles into their correct spots, adjusting the weight on each tile to change its angle. Listen closely, since a faint buzzing sound tells you when a tile has settled into a good position. Solving the Electronic Panel puzzle unlocks the other Handheld Radio.
