How the game works
Step
The loop is the same in every room: look around for clues and items, figure out what they mean, and use that answer to get the door open. The path is one straight line from room one to room 180, so you never have to guess which direction to go.
- Search for clues check walls, floors, and the background for numbers, letters, or patterns.
- Pick up items collect anything the room lets you take.
- Work out the answer match your clues and items to whatever lock or puzzle is blocking the exit.
- Open the door the exit unlocks once you have the right solution, and you move on.

Habits that carry you further
TipsEarly rooms are gentler, which makes them a good place to build habits you will need later.
- Click every corner of the room — hidden items are easy to miss if you only scan the middle.
- Write down any numbers, letters, or symbols you see, even if they seem unimportant right now.
- Try every item you are carrying against every puzzle you can see — items are there to be used.
- Talk to any characters in the room, because their dialogue can contain the hint you need.
- If a room has you completely stumped, step away and come back with fresh eyes.
What to check when you are stuck
Check
Before looking for outside help, run through this list. Give the room one more thorough pass before giving up.
- Have you used every item in your inventory at least once?
- Have you checked the edges and background of the room, not just the obvious objects?
- Have you written down every number, letter, and pattern visible in the room?
- Have you spoken to every character present?

- Find a code check the official group or in-game announcements for current codes.
- Type carefully match every capital letter, lowercase letter, and number exactly.
- Remember it is one use only entering the same code a second time will not work.
