The motives of the puzzles are obviously related to episodes of series 4.
In the basement - Death at Bargain Prices
Archery practice: The Master Minds
Castle De'Ath - Castle De'Ath
No escape - The Town of no Return or The Gravediggers (according to the book:The Avengers A New)
(but no matching scene exists in the series)
One of the puzzle shows Steed tied to an archery target, wearing the leather/fur jacket as seen in episodes Two Is a Crowd, The Murder Market, The Master Minds and Maneater of Surrey Green. It's possible that we have a look at the original colour of the cardigan.
