-Turn on the app and enter the gate. Look for CATT and follow it.
-Always hold your device horizontally.
-Once you start the app, make sure all, or most, of the lights on the GPS bar are illuminated. The GPS bar is at the bottom center of the screen.

-CATT will give you clues to solve the challenges that CATT presents at each location. Listen carefully to what CATT says. You must solve the problem in each place before moving on.
-At any time, while running the app, touch the icon on the top right of the screen, which looks like the CATT’s eye. This will load the About Screen where you can read about the app. Press the "Enter World" button to return to the app.
