The Barred Room
Welcome to The Barred Room. The goal is to find all 5 keys to exit. Hints below.
Planets Puzzle
Hint 1: There are 2 papers in the room that hold the key to the code
Hint 2 : Check the order of the planets on the desk
Hint 3 : The planet order is Earth, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn
Answer: Earth is the 3rd planet, Jupiter = 5, Mars = 4, Saturn = 6, the code is 3546
Poker Chip Box
Hint 1 : The pattern on the box is very similar to something else in the room...
Hint 2 : Not all of the poker chips are required, but certain colors are
Hint 3 : Check under the rug
Hint 4 : Use the black poker chip to align the code correctly on the box
Answer:
Battleship Board
Hint 1 : Sink the battleship!
Hint 2 : Check the floor, bookcase, center cabinet, and the desktop
Answer : Place all 4 red pegs into the battleship on the board
Blue Peg Lock
Hint 1 : The message about misses is the key to this lock
Hint 2 : Check the battleship board
Hint 3 : Associate the misses on the board with letters and numbers
Answer : The code is DEAD. Using the board, the miss on D column is in row 5, E is row 1, A is row 6, thus the code is 5165
Domino Puzzle
Hint 1 : The dominoes are just used to convey numbers, they are not used as dominoes
Hint 2 : White = 5, Black = 10
Answer : The black dominoes sum to 10 and the white dominoes sum to 5. The first domino is has a 2 and a blank, so the blank is 8 (to sum to 10). The second is a white 3, so the code number is 2, etc. The final code is 82741
Pharaoh's Maze
Welcome to the Pharaoh's Maze, a sliding wall puzzle room. To open the chest you will need to find a key and the 3 gemstones.
Most puzzles in this room are confined to their immediate area, so you will not need to search far for the answers to the puzzles. Also, every room shown on the map is reachable.
Room of Cups
Hint 1 : The cups that start will balls are the key
Hint 2 : The item count is important, but not the quantity
Answer : Blue is odd and red is even
Room with 6 Sarcophagi and mini statues
Hint 1 : Check this square and the adjacent for the 4 statues you need
Hint 2 : The mirror is a hint on where the statues go
Answer : If you number the possible statue slots from left to right (6 total), guy with crossed arms goes in slot 2, statue with bird head and ball on a stick in slot 3, statue with bird head and scroll in slot 4, statue with jackal head in slot 6
Room with Pyramid Dial Lock
Hint 1 : The blocks against the wall are the key
Hint 2 : What would the blocks look like if the fallen ones were stacked correctly?
Answer : The number of blocks on each row is the combination, so 1234
Room with the Jackal Statue
Hint 1 : Check all the draggable objects
Answer : Drag the Jackal over to the pressure plate under the vase
Grey Gem
Hint 1 : Solve the cup puzzle to find it
Blue Gem
Hint 1 : Search the room with the gold statue with a red bowl
Answer : There is a button on top of the statue that opens the wall
Red Gem
Hint 1 : The gem is hidden behind a sliding wall near the window
Hint 2 : The sliding wall it is hidden behind is one that has already been triggered
Answer : Remove the gold ball from the cup at the start to close the wall leading to the cup puzzle
Key and Circle Door
Hint 1 : Find the red gem to open the door
Hint 2 : There is a button in the room beyond the circle door
Answer : One of the red squares on the chest opens the wall, the key is in the urn
Sudoku Puzzle Cabinet
Welcome to the Sudoku Puzzle Cabinet, where the puzzles are themed off of sudoku and some of its variants. This guide does not cover the tutorial puzzle, just the cabinet itself. Solve all 4 puzzles on the cabinet to win. Note that the block storage cabinet is there to help you keep track of numbers, it is not part of a puzzle itself.
This guide also assumes that you either know the thermo and XV sudoku variants or did the tutorial puzzle that teaches them.
Note on labeling sudoku boxes. The boxes are labeled starting at the top left, with box 1, top center is box 2, top right is box 3, etc.
Puzzle 1
Hint 1 : Take a close look at the dial
Hint 2 : Note that there are 6 spaces on the thermo
Answer : The dial is in the center of the thermo. If you arrange the numbers in the thermo it reads 8 7 6 4 3 1, thus the code is 7643
Puzzle 2
Hint 1 : It is easier to check what things can be instead of what they cannot be
Hint 2 : Each circled number only has 1 option
Answer : Digit 1 sees 2,8,9 in the column, 1,4,5 in the row, and 6,7 in the box, which only leaves 3 as a possible option.
Digit 2 sees 2,3,4,6,7 in the column, 5,8 in the row, and 9 in the box, leaving 1.
Digit 3 sees 1,4,6,7 in the column, 2,3,9 in the row, 8 in the box, leaving 5
Digit 4 sees 3,5 in the column, 1,2,4,7,9 in the row, 8 in the box, leaving 6
The final code is 3 1 5 6
Puzzle 3
Hint 1 : The blue border represents the outline of the sudoku, telling you which boxes of the sudoku each cube face represents
Hint 2 : The left cube is box 1 and 4 (top left and center left) The right cube is box 5 and 6 (center and center right)
Hint 3 : Start with the 3rd digit
Hint 4 : Remember that a V in sudoku only has 2 options, 1/4 and 2/3
Answer : The key to digit 3 is the V in box 6. These cells only have one option due to the 2 in box 5, which is 1/4. This means that digit 3 cannot be 1,2, or 4, leaving only 3, since digit 3 is also on a V.
Digit 2 is also on a V, and since digit 3 already uses 2/3, it must be a 1/4. The 4 in box 5 makes digit 2 a 4
Digit 1 is on an X with a 1, due to digit 2 being a 4, thus digit 1 is a 9
Digit 4 only has 1 option left. It sees 1,2,3,4,9 in the box, 6 and 5 from the row, and an 8 from the X in box 5 (attached to the 2), leaving only 7
The final code is 9 4 3 7
Puzzle 4
Hint 1 : Digits 1 and 2 can be deduced with only the information in their respective boxes
Hint 2 : Digit 3 can be deduced with only the information in its row
Hint 3 : For digit 4, consider the X dominoes and which digits on them are high and which are low
Hint 4 : For digit 4, in its box, digits 1 and 9 only have 1 option
Answer : The thermo takes up the whole box and thus contains all the digits from 1 to 9, which means digit 1 is 4
All cells in box 2 are on an X or V except for digit 2. 5 is the only digit that cannot be on an X or V, so digit 2 is 5
The only place a 9 can go on a thermo is the end, and since every row must contain a 9 this makes digit 3 a 9
Digit 4 = 8 is the short answer, the logic path to get there follows:
1 and 9 are very limited in the box. If 1 is on an X, it must be paired with a 9 and vice versa. If either 1 or 9 is on an X in this box, it would break the thermo, by putting the 9 or 1 in the middle of it. This means that 9 is on the end of the thermo and 1 is on the bulb (due to the 1 in box 4). The 1 in the bulb is on a V, which means it is paired with a 4. That leaves us with 2,3,5,6,7,8. If 6 is placed on an X, it must be paired with a 4, which is already placed in the box elsewhere, which means the 6 must be in the top center or top right box on the thermo. As there are only 2 numbers between 6 and 9, and the numbers along the thermo must increase, the 6 can only be in the top right, leaving an 8 for digit 4
The final code for puzzle 4 is 4 5 9 8
