The entrance hall of a rich Roman's house, early on New Year's morning. His friends and dependants have queued since dawn in their togas to wish him well and bring him gifts of jewels and laurel. The doorkeeper watches them all, small altars glow, and chairs line the walls.
The patron will give gifts in return, but only to those who come. Seven puzzles stand between you and the head of the queue. Solve them all, and one last word tells you whether you get in.
Crossword — a rich man's house and the new year, in Latin from Book 2.
Anagrams — unscramble seven things the visitors do.
Cipher — decode a message in Latin, then answer the riddle it asks.
Matching — two verbs, dat ("gives") and accipit ("receives"), in the imperfect, perfect and pluperfect.
Picture Count — reassemble the entrance hall, then count what you see.
Odd One Out — find the word that doesn't belong in each row to build the story, then answer questions about it.
Final Rebus — one clue from every lock. Their first letters spell the final word.
Every answer box checks itself. Spelling and capitals are forgiving, and macrons are never needed.
Fifteen words from the patron's house. Every clue gives the English meaning; you supply the Latin. Fill the grid — every crossing letter must agree both ways. Five cells are marked in red: once the grid is solved, their letters unscramble into one more word.
The grid is correct. Unscramble the five red letters:
Seven things the visitors do. Unscramble each one.
That's the end of the free taster. The other 5 locks of this room are for Locked Lessons members.

Intrat — he comes in. At last the doorkeeper waves you through, the patron greets you, and you leave with a gift of your own for the new year.
