The lock solution is Diamond, Circle, and Dot.

Puzzle: Butterfly Room

Puzzle: Jail Cell
Hint - Notice that there is a bullseye lock behind the gate.
Solution - Insert the cowboy room onto the head of the headless mannequin.

Solution - Reach into the diorama and activate the lever in the miniature version of the jail cell.

Puzzle: Diamond Room - Obtain Red Keycard
Hint - Insert the "1/3x" and "3x" buttons into the keyboard.
Hint - There is some way to pull one of the levers given your current situation.
Solution - Set scale to 1/3, then reach into one of the rooms and grab the red keycard.

Puzzle: Diamond Room - Obtain Blue Keycard
Hint - You can slot the red keycard into either the Gate A or Gate B terminal.
Hint - The only other keycard is the blue keycard (that is out of reach). There is a way to get it now.
Solution - Set the scale to 3x, set either Gate A or B to be unlocked (with the red keycard), and walk through the gaps between the bars to grab the blue keycard.

Puzzle: Diamond Room - Obtain 9x Tile
Hint - In the room where you picked up the blue keycard, you'll notice there was a "9x" tile that was out of reach in a wall hole.
Solution - Set scale to 1/3x and grab the 9x tile.

Puzzle: Diamond Room - Obtain Diamond Emblem
Hint - Now you want to focus on entering the room on the right that is still locked. Inside there you'll noticed there is the diamond emblem.
Solution - Set the scale to 9x and walk in the gap between the bars and door frame.

Area 3 - The New Diorama - Part 3

Puzzle: Key Room
Hint - Now you should have a diamond emblem (diamond room), heart emblem (purple room wall), spade emblem (from the butterfly wing), and a clubs emblem (next to the slot pillar).
Solution - Insert them into the slots in the key room to open the ceiling. Inspect the miniature key room (press space-bar) and grab the key.

Puzzle: Using the Key
Solution - There are 2 keyhole locks to unlock - the front door (white room) and the side of the diorama (there is a giant keyhole on the "outside" of the diorama).

Puzzle: Activating the bullseye target box with a lever in it.
Hint - You can now open this box now that the front door is open.
Solution - Slot the cowboy room in while the front door is open. The lever will now be accessible. Pulling the lever will lower the diorama to the ground, giving you access to the outside area.

Puzzle: Accessing the "recursive" room (with the exit sign door)
Solution - Once you've unlocked the door, go outside and walk around to the newly opened side door. Go in and pull the lever to lower the exit sign door. Then walk out into the outer area and exit.
