How to Get Through the Window in The Spiderwick Chronicles

"The Spiderwick Chronicles" is a game based on the children's movie of the same name.

In one such quest titled "Riddles in the Dark," players are posed a riddle that states "Only your WILL can get through the window." Luckily, this riddle takes just a few simple steps to solve.
