Guide to Shared Effort 2
Full Guide
As this map contains a lot of different 'seperate puzzle chains' I cant offer a step by step guide. Shown below is the map with the order of rooms opening. You will start in Red 1 / Blue 1 respectively. I will list the main mechanism (last puzzle part) first that will open the respective door. Following the whole puzzle chain starting at the first step of the puzzle.

I recommend playing Shared Effort (first map) before this, since it contains information you wont get explicitly in this map.

Red 6
Main mechanism: solve the world map in Red 5
Hints: you will need to solve the black ball puzzle in Blue 3 beforehand. The hint for the ball puzzle is hidden in Red 4. you will need an additional object to solve it.
Solution: find the note for the black ball puzzle in Red 4 between the books on the bookshelf. ball puzzle: top row - middle white, middle row - both white, bottom row - middle white you need the black cube from the closet in Red 1 to put in the middle.With the flags on your map you can solve the puzzle in Red 5. countries shown: Chile, Finland, South Africa, India.


Blue 5
Main mechanism: solve the puzzle with the chips in Red 6
Hints: Use the chips to make a sequence happen (left equals right)
Solution: to get the amount on the right you have to divide the amount on the left by 2 and add 50 to it. top to bottom: 550, 500, 200, 100. The higher amount has to be used first!


Blue 6
Main mechanism: aim a lightsource at the mirror in Blue 6
Hints: you can see the mirror from Red 6 through the window.

Red 7
Main mechanism: Enter the date of death in the combination lock
Hints: the correct date can be found in Blue 7
Solution: The date is on the back of the picture frame - 1903


Spawn red exit door
Main mechanism: solve the boardgame in Red 7
Hints: you will have to solve the box with the combination lock above the coloured figurines. The code can be found in Blue 4. The key you get from this is used on the wall panel in Blue 2.
To get the missing 1 blue figurine you need to
1) complete the ritual in B5
+ 2) solve the crystal ball puzzle in Red 7
+ 3) the chess board puzzle in Blue 4
+ 4) the eyeball box in Blue 1

Solutions:
- 1) To open up the crystal ball puzzle you need to complete the ritual in Blue 5. A hidden note in Blue 4 tells you how to do this: use the golden goblet and an item made of gold: the gold bar in Red 6. This gives you additional information on what to do with the demon sigil code you found: count the letters of the demon names on the paintings in Red 2. correct code: 6 - 5 - 4 - 6 - 5 - 7
- 2) To solve the crystal ball puzzle you need information from Blue 5. You can find 3 hints on the crystal ball in Blue 5. the corrects numbers are: II - V - VI (press the remaining numbers inwards). this gives you the last chess piece for the puzzle in Red 7.
- 3) Look for any reference on where to put the chess pieces you can find on the table. put them on the chess board like shown in the painting, be careful to do this from the right side - use already placed pieces as reference. the last piece can be found in the blue lid chest in Red 2. use the information in Blue 2 to solve the shelf puzzle put 2 plants on the shelf below the chest. Use the information you get to place the chess pieces in the right spot in Red 6. This gives you the order of the eyes for the code: green - blue - pink - blue.
- 4) the eyes around the map are attached to a numerical value. green = 2, blue = 7, pink = 4. code for the box: 2 - 7 - 4 - 7.
Now put all the pieces in the right place on the board and the door will activate.


Spawn blue exit door
Main mechanism: solve the crystal lock in Blue 7
Hints: to open the crystal box in Blue 7 you need to
1) solve the toy puzzle in Red 5
+ 2) solve the colour math puzzle in Red 6
+ 3) solve the letter puzzle in Blue 2.
For the code you need to 4) solve the skeleton puzzle in Blue 7

Solutions:
- 1) put the correct items on the white cabinets as shown on the picture above. to show the middle picture you need to press the lamp button in Blue 4. correct items: globe (Red 4), owl (Blue 5), rocket (Red 5).This lifts up the correct cube pieces in the cabinet.
- 2) solve the colour math puzzle as before, values stayed the same.correct code:5 - 21 - 16
- 3) put in the correct letters as the code from 1) said. some letters only exist in the toy crate in Red 5.correct code:A - C - F - B - D - H
- 4) put a yellow and a red eye into the correct eye socket of the skeleton. The eyes can be found in Blue 5. The code you get is mirrored upside down. correct code:9 - 6 - 6 - 1 - 2


EXIT
Main mechanism: finish the rest of the map
Solution: In multiplayer both players need to stand on a pressure plate. In singleplayer you will get a button to end the map if both map sides are completed.

Way to difficult and to much going on. I've played dozens of maps and this one was the least rewarding and I found myself using the guide 80% of the time.

yea it was pretty much made for the people that felt like the first map was way too easy but wanted to enjoy the concept too :)

I really enjoyed it! Friend and I just finished, and only needed to check on the guide a couple times. There is a lot going on, but everything has it's place and works well imo.
Was satisfying too when we got stuck for a bit, then had that "OH" moment once we figured it out. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and appreciate the effort put into the guide too. Thank you <3

how do you open the blue lid chests? i have no idea how to get this thing open
Grrr  [developer] 11 Dec, 2021 @ 3:14am 
@WooBackBojakk you mirror the shelf with the blue chest on the blue side the same way on the red side: put 2 plants below the chest on the red side and both will open

Feedback from me and my friend... We would enjoy the map much more if every puzzle being solved also had an audio queue associated with it. I.E. placing the 3 toys on the tables to trigger the blocks should make a loud noise. Thanks for the great maps.

more clues on how to solve each puzzle would have been better (for myself) (like the poker chips one was very difficult to figure out, as well as the plants on the shelf needing the be mirrored). maybe a slight bug, but the crystal ball was unmovable by anyone but myself; and it was hard to see the 2 on it as well.
Wolfsokim 29 Dec, 2021 @ 11:15pm 
The chest pieces don't make sense. Placing the chess pieces found in the box on the table, as well as the 2 found in each blue box, doesn't reveal any information. Which then means, how do you place the larger chess pieces in the correct order?
Grrr  [developer] 30 Dec, 2021 @ 10:46am 
if you put the chess pieces like shown on the picture the box on the wall opens and you get the order for the bigger chess pieces on the red side. if you those you get the code to the eyebox. if you are stuck there check for the solution for the eyebox to skip

unable to do the doors in blue2, we looked at the guide and answer but nothing happened.

I think the chess puzzle is bugged, we put the pieces like the painting but still can´t get the info for the order of the big pieces. Solved it with another logic (maybe by luck) putting them by reverse order of value.

We looked for about 1 hour for the 3 digit code for the game needed in Red7 in Blue4 as the guide says but nothing was found.
We were one step away from the end, very frustrating...
