Fun game! I was familiar with most of the games (played Tetris and Portal a lot! I hadn't played Zork, but had played text games of that sort) which made them extra fun. I struggled with the Derby one, but the rest were fairly quick to work out.
Thank you for creating it.

very fun room. tetris was by far the hardest for me. the other ones were mildly tricky. i love little touches like the key falling to the ground . i wondered what the point of it was and it had me stumped for a little while haha

thanks for making it.
definitely giving the second one a try.

AWESOME ROOM! love the puzzles, really had us deep into figuring them out. good job! about to play the 2nd one now :D

Yes, indeed, the Tetris pieces can desync between players. That is an Escape Simulator issue I can't really do anything about. As soon as animations get complex, this can happen.
If you see different positions between players, you can assume that the hosting player's view is correct. Either try to focus on that player's view or just restart - Tetris is the first puzzle, so you won't lose much progress.

I have the same issue as Todd Clancy on online co-op. My partner and I have the pieces in the right position, but we view the rotations differently on two of the pieces. Not sure if this issue is an EscapeSim issue or something isolated to this room.

We really loved your puzzle galore room and were looking forward to this :(

I was under the impression the tetris room wasn't working, but I noticed that I had to rotate the (teal) I piece to be the other way to get it to work.

THE MAP IS GREAT, THANK YOU, BUT ANIME IS SHIT

i did the tetris room (and double checked with the discussion) but it didnt do anything so i think this may be a bug

Great map but I we were stuck at the cards because order of cards face is always J Q K not K Q J so that was confusing.

The words on the table were very distracting. After I read the clue, I actually thought that meant "bar" was the correct word >.<

Portal was the best :)

It seems like a fun room, but my gf and I ran into an issue when playing co-op.

It appears as if on the tetris room, there was some sort of de-sync issue? That's the only way I know how to describe it. Whenever we were trying to place and rotate the blocks the blocks on her screen were rotated differently than the blocks on my screen.. I'm not sure if this is a known issue, but I figured that I would report it here just in case anyone else is playing co-op!

@The Man of Faith: No, as soon as you have every piece in the right place and rotated correctly, the puzzle should be done and the next door should appear. Are you sure you have all pieces rotated correctly? Can you try again with the following screenshot as a guide? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2775947584

I'm having difficulty in the first room. The way I have the pieces works and I even double checked it on the hints page to make sure I was right. It still isn't doing anything. Am I missing something?

Ok found it

Hi i cant find the Word "crowbar", so i cant solve the Zork Puzzle
Hale_Caesar 8 Mar, 2022 @ 8:17am 
Nop all words were in the right position i allready read the solutions and it only broke when my mate and me placed 2 words at the same time in the desired spots on the monitor
Wollo  [author] 8 Mar, 2022 @ 7:49am 
Thanks for the details @HaleCaesar. The Zork puzzle uses no complex logic at all. if there is an issue with triggering two unlock conditions in parallel, that would have to be a general issue in Escape Simulator. I've tried to duplicate what you've seen, but so far it looks like this issue cannot be reproduced. Any chance you did not have all four required words (use, key, with, chest) in place?
Hale_Caesar 7 Mar, 2022 @ 11:35am 
No my friend and i placed 2 words at the same time in different slots on the same screen
we used use & key and placed them in the slots they needed to be and after we both placed them in the same time the 3. screen didnt trigger so we were stuck
Wollo  [author] 7 Mar, 2022 @ 8:29am 
@Hale_Caesar: Can you please explain in more detail what happened? Do you mean that you were both able to insert words in the same place on one of the screens? If so, that would probably be a bug in Escape Simulator, but I've not been able to replicate this.

zork puzzle is broken i played with a friend and we both but words at the same time

That was a phenomenal puzzle. I really appreciated the unique approach to receiving clues and solving all the different labs. My mind was blows by Labs 1 and 5. Super awesome job.

Very nostalgic. My group did struggle on the Demolition Derby lab. We had an idea what we were supposed to do, but struggled visualizing it. Grabbed the handy dandy pen and notepad, and was finally able to complete it. Thanks for sharing your creation!

@GlockGoddess: No, you have to imagine how they would move. Figure out which cars would collide after all cars move once, twice, and three times.
GlockGoddess 27 Feb, 2022 @ 11:10am 
Im not to sure what to do in lab two?
Are the cars suppose to move?
