DON'T.

The houses puzzle is unsolvable, as the wheel symbols are missing, but at least I bugged the eye out of that chest and finished the map.
Star puzzle kinda sucks, as it's not what the constellations look like in reality (here goes "outside knowledge", huh?)
Overall the map is somewhat boring, but that tracks, as the very first puzzle was already obviously designed without the use of any braincells.

-1, heed the comments, avoid this room, even when you get the puzzles they're not fun or satisfying or enjoyable at all lol

I liked the flag, house and star puzzle. And to the people who are complaining about the flags being hard maybe should take a world geography/history class.

This was by far my favourite room I have ever played!!!!! Amazing job!!!! Please make a sequel! ❤️

I can't get past the entry barricade. I've done it. I looked and was slow and methodical, and I even looked at the hint WHAT SCALES?! I made my smarter husband have a crack at it, and I offered it up to my friends for review and the Gods as a sacrifice.

Please make a sequel! It was my friends and I's favourite room due to the absurd difficulty

I gave a thumbs up because these logic based puzzles seem like a good idea but for the first puzzle and the color/key puzzle I honestly don't understand how the solution works out with the logic provided. I solved the first one partially by accident and the color one could not solve for a with the logic provided. I think it could use a little tweaking, mostly agree with EdgeJr. The math equation doesn't really belong imo although I have noticed rooms with a lot of logic puzzles like this enjoy adding math.

I love the theme of the room, but I had so many "meeh" moment
The algebra part was fine for the balance, but then it was mixed with too many puzzle elements, like the order of pyramids and vases, 1-2 should be enough

The olympic stuff was so almost impossible to figure out without the hint, also the color stuff could have been a bit more guided

The flags are kinda hard to read when they are folded like this, also having B C E under the things makes it kinda confusing, hinting to something else. Also all the flags are named "American flags" which is confusing.

The broken calculator that writes BOOBS is funny, but lead to such confusion

For the constellation, you should put 3 stars for the belt!

The house things felt like a chore too lol

in the puzzle with the keys there is an angle where you dont even need to solve it to get the eye out
Nymph 6 Feb, 2022 @ 8:40pm 
You put a math equation in a damn game. Is that supposed to be fun? Wtf? Awful.
ArticM@n 3 Feb, 2022 @ 11:56am 
Is this room designed for solo players or not ?
Wollo 2 Feb, 2022 @ 11:35am 
I just have to contradict everyone complaining about this room.
This is a GREAT room. You will need time, you'll need to think hard and you'll have to communicate your thought process to your companions (don't play it alone!).
We solved every puzzle, and found them all solvable through logic.
The experience was mildly frustrating at one or two points, but in the end, when we solved it, it was super rewarding.
I love the complexity and difficulty. There are too many workshop levels that don't really challenge you. This one does. Highly recommended for all players that really want to be challenged. 10 thumbs up! :steamthumbsup:
Hugotheclutchslayking255 1 Feb, 2022 @ 12:38pm 
utterly ridiculous. Waste of time
REV_OVER 31 Jan, 2022 @ 9:37pm 
its trash dont waste your time with your group playing this shit
EdgeJr 31 Jan, 2022 @ 1:28pm 
Some constructive criticism, hope it helps.

I loved the tiny house room, which is why I gave a chance to everything else.
First room
1. Remove the pyramids. You are already indicating that each shelf represents one digit. Identifying order would make more sense if the lock part would be horizontal. Give ppl chance to see other puzzles.
2. increase number of red gems somewhere, "4,2,3,1" could be an order

Colors
1. The paper seems to indicate RGB, but then some things just don't make sense. Red + Yellow is not orange in RGB. red is part of yellow.
2. Make Olympic logo more obvious. Intersection icons in between, graph, some random text on top, feels like too many red herrings to somehow conduct that there is any relation to sports. Keys didn't really look like gold & bronze, just yellow & orange.
3. Searching for keys & sorting seemed a bit unnecessary.

In the end pointing lasers seemed a bit clunky. Maybe increase the distance between options.

I really wanted to like this one, but there were too many mistakes. The difficulty would be great if the puzzles were properly set up.
Stealthydragon 24 Jan, 2022 @ 11:46pm 
Aboslutely terrible room. Don't waste your time.

The very first clue had no indication of what to do when the only apparent answer was wrong. Some indication to subtract is needed. The geometry of the barrier is also glitched so if you walk into it wrong you'll be stuck outside the level with no way back in.

Once you get inside, the color puzzle used mathematical notation incorrectly. You can't subtract green from cyan, and it doesn't make yellow. Also, red + yellow = orange, yes, but not according to the color wheel provided. The puzzle needs to be solvable in the space of the game. The rings being a clue to the Olympics and the graph being standings to indicate key color is so out of left field, with nothing to lead you to deduce that. ANY indication of sports might have made it reasonable.

The spun around puzzle pieces for the math equation is just busy work and not a "puzzle" worth putting in there.
AmberStone16 24 Jan, 2022 @ 3:00pm 
jeez...
last time a room said it needed outside knowledge it meant you needed to know who Tom and Jerry are and where Canada is.
this is on a whole other level
the comments sound like those who actually know that many things to that level enjoyed it

but for the rest of us could please let us know the "outside knowledge" topics in the description or maybe a room before the puzzles begin.

better yet put the information in the room like on a poster of all the flags or make the constellation cards show the actual constellations

while I love a challenge, most people have no idea what cos sin tan are or can recognise cultures landmarks and flags

I can see why you said "not recommended for anybody" because even though I know most of the things needed to complete it some of the clues are so vague that I just couldn't do it without the entire solutions page.

TLDR: great for a team of uni grads not possible for individuals or the average Joe. needs better disclaimers
MaxFanatic 22 Jan, 2022 @ 10:18pm 
This is an incredibly divisive puzzle, judging by the comments. My group loved it, though. Sure, they do require a bit of outside knowledge, but it's totally doable -- they require you to be clever and piece things together in a way that some of the default rooms or community rooms don't.

You might consider doing this with two or three others, just to increase the chance that the required outside knowledge exists between you.

Highly recommend this one as a good challenge -- we had a blast.

And a non-spoiling hint, because we wasted a lot of time looking for the last battery... None are particularly well hidden.
Luniiks (Professional Plower) 20 Jan, 2022 @ 3:50pm 
absolutely dreadful room. how can you make an escape room with 5 completely inexplicable puzzles. what a joke of a room
ardendanmer 10 Jan, 2022 @ 9:46am 
Everybody's upset about the puzzles, but me and my buddy found them pretty fun. Here's a few tips: in the first one, numbers are hidden in the murals, and their order is on the shelves. In color puzzle, key material is on the graph in the lower left, also check the clock.
Pasteurnamehere 10 Jan, 2022 @ 8:31am 
What is the answer to the puzzle in the first level? I can't untie it
IQ134 Nan Hai 8 Jan, 2022 @ 5:12am 
Pure trash
beerhappy 8 Jan, 2022 @ 12:03am 
This puzzle is unnecessarily difficult. While doable, it takes quite a bit of trial and error and some of the hints are very ambiguous. The concept is good but the execution could be improved. I would not recommend this puzzle in it's current state.
DARK_REAPER_96 4 Jan, 2022 @ 5:37pm 
Wow, This is the first level on this game i've truly hated. Utter shite. Something tells me the creator is fun at parties.

The puzzles have no direction and are completely incoherent. You must either think like the creator or just guess endlessly until you get the right answers. Total rubbish, I want a refund on my time
Zaxwerks 4 Jan, 2022 @ 1:55pm 
Awful, just awful room... and if you're colourblind forget it, it's impossible. Whoever created this room couldn't put themselves into the mind of the player seeing this room for the first time and made too many leaps of logic that they thought they'd explained but hadn't. Don't bother downloading this.
Nepttune 4 Jan, 2022 @ 1:45am 
How the fuck was I supposed to figure out Greece was the last flag? No clues man, really frustrating blindly guessing the last flag while searching the whole area for any remaining items. None of the items relate to greece, why the teaspoon + microscope if they don't relate to britain? I'm still so confused. And how are you going to say "order" on the front of the starting statue, then put the combination not in order of the shelves? Half of this is puzzle is just guessing :steamthumbsdown:
twinbladeArisen 3 Jan, 2022 @ 1:55pm 
The first puzzle is great, but it's wrong!

The mapping currently works out such that the bottom two shelves are switched around.
BlueChaos17 3 Jan, 2022 @ 12:28pm 
First puzzle uses bad trial and error logic with misleading elements. I saw there were 1-4 blue gems in each mural, which should have been code order, but using the shelves, which you even admitted covered up on one of them, was bad. The statues aren't clear. I even guess right about the difference between the # of blue and red gems, but there was no good way to deduce the order. And the 9 digit code wheels make a 1234 answer seem wrong. If you'd put a 1-4 code entry, it would be more reasonable. Having the codes go to 9 and conveniently having no mural total more than 9 gems is misleading. Use one with tons of gems so you have better ways to rule solutions out logically. This one just leaves the whole bag of solutions wide open the whole time with no clues. And why give out a crow bar if it isn't useful?? It falls through the floor if you you it in the wrong spot. And this is just ONE PUZZLE Don't play this one.
Broder Rotfrukt 3 Jan, 2022 @ 2:42am 
The solution for the first puzzle was so convoluted that I stopped playing, this isn't hard it is just poorly designed, you need to take faaaaar reaching steps in logic to find out the intent that you as the designer had. Not good.
Thomas Dank 2 Jan, 2022 @ 8:38am 
super bad. how could this one be suggested in the front page???:steamthumbsdown:
Melosaurs 1 Jan, 2022 @ 10:45pm 
Honestly it's really hard to figure out the creators intentions. Nothing is self explanatory and you need to know higher math in order to get a code. Do yourself a favor and pass on this one.
Taichi 1 Jan, 2022 @ 9:53pm 
With the exception of the pyramids on the first puzzle, really well done mate, went even further on the big brain puzzles than the main game, congratulations. Also found 2 of the 3 extra trophys, plus the hidden pyramid, really nice.
MaestraPaladín 1 Jan, 2022 @ 1:40pm 
The puzzles have not sense. Bullshit.:steamthumbsdown:
PlagueMaiden_ 1 Jan, 2022 @ 4:37am 
the first section with the sarcophegous is a bit silly, i had no idea that subtracting was needed until i saw the hints and even then i couldnt see where my mistake was
i think that given the syfi feel of the globe room its jaring to click play and load into the tomb themed room, i thought i had clicked the wrong map

an escape room provides all things needed for a puzzle
had to break immersion to tab out and google things constantly and that math section?? simple BODMAS would of been fine.

the colour puzzle good, just the subtracting colors thing is a bit silly. just keep it with the intersecting part bc that is nice
puzzles make the player feel stupid and the creator look a bit pretentious with how obtuse the puzzles can be.

Dont let negative feed back get you down, its part of the creative process.
i can see you put alot of time and effort in OP, the hidden trophies are fun! a couple of puzzle changes would make this map perfect
I look forward to revisting the map later on :)

In the rocket puzzle, I think there is some subjectivity problems, such as that it's hard to tell the orientation of Libra, Ursa can be interpreted as being facing the opposite direction, and it's hard to match the Aquarius stars to the image.

The keys puzzle is also a bit tough to get with the clues given, namely the difference between intersection and plus, and what subtracting cyan from green means (the provided sheet doesn't help with this one) .

The flags puzzle and the houses puzzles were not too frustrating though, quite enjoyable. Thanks for providing hints too.

Overall it's nice to have some more cryptic puzzles in the game that require some outside research or a diverse set of skills, it's a nice change of pace from the usual maps, reminds me of puzzle hunts.
Jen 31 Dec, 2021 @ 7:02am 
I got stuck on the first puzzle, googled a walkthrough, saw the solution and noped out. There's no way in hell I would've ever figured it out without any hint - counting the colors, yes. but the subtracting, no way .

It might be a fun room if you added more clues.
everSamikay 31 Dec, 2021 @ 1:51am 
A gargantuan effort for a custom room, kudos for that, although I do believe the color puzzle is slightly... obtuse? Plus'ing and Minus'ing colours is quite strange, orange isn't even on the colour sheet. The constellation was fine except for the person with the flowing water, where the dots don't quite match. Math part is fine, probably don't put the Sin(90) in there who remembers that :P

Good thing you posted hints otherwise we were for certain f'd.
Cantaria 30 Dec, 2021 @ 11:11am 
nice puzzle but waaaaayyyyy to hard
Eternalmatrix 29 Dec, 2021 @ 11:48pm 
This map is dogshit. If i have to alt tab to solve a puzzle, then it has lost my attention. Man wanted me to pull out my TI-83 plus calculator to solve these horrid excuses for puzzles. I think the only people who would enjoy this map are the ones who find google images of the solutions, then proceed to say it was fun not solving a thing.
PoonRaccoon 29 Dec, 2021 @ 11:43pm 
absolutely awful
grindzilla 29 Dec, 2021 @ 11:23pm 
got lost WAY too many times, don't know countries objects, just very obtuse puzzles with solutions being not in the room, but on the internet.
Rag on a Stick 29 Dec, 2021 @ 9:34pm 
Definitely a challenging map which is good.
The rocket room was glitched on my playthrough and couldn't turn some of the stars.
Songbird 29 Dec, 2021 @ 8:07pm 
The color puzzle is just outright wrong. I don't understand how you ever arrive at your answers for the gem color for keys alpha and beta. Your "intersection" operation appears to both move in and out on the color wheel for beta which doesn't make any sense, and your subtraction in alpha subtracts a secondary color from a primary color and then a primary color from a secondary color which doesn't make sense.
King Dinkus 29 Dec, 2021 @ 8:04pm 
Some of the most clever puzzles i've seen in this game. GJ!
s.n.arly1 29 Dec, 2021 @ 7:56pm 
Wow this was an EXCELLENT room. I'm so glad you had such a good hints list - it was super helpful. Several of the puzzles were so far out of my skill set that I felt kind of stupid (I have dyscalculia, so the math was never going to happen for me). But this kept me and my friend super entertained for quite a while, and we felt really good whenever we got something right.

谢谢!

Worst escape room I've ever been on
Jer 29 Dec, 2021 @ 6:23pm 
20 minutes later, I can't figure out the first puzzle. Can I get a hint for the Sarcofogus Lid's numbers?
