Bugs & Issues
If you find any funky problems during gameplay, please let me know about it here! :)


KNOWN ISSUE - Desynchronization (particularly in regards to puzzle 1-4)
Very rarely, a puzzle may complete for one player and not the other. This has been the case with puzzle 1-4 in this room in particular, and I'm still trying to figure out why this is happening. In the meantime, I've installed a red emergency button on the walls of the rooms that come directly after each of the 2 major sections, which forces all previous door open. If you find yourselves in this situation, where only one player has their exit door unlocked, try hitting this button to help your friend.

Once a friend and I completed the first section and the person was talking it bugged out (Continued talking for my friend ) and the person stopped talking for me then the wall said 1-4 wasn't done. The doors opened for them and not me.

Hey man, that sounds weird, but a few others have reported that bug. So you already had the checkmark for 1-4, but then it disappeared?

Was 1-4 the last puzzle you solved? Were you the Host or was your friend? Were you in section A or B?

Puzzle 2-1 can be softlocked by player A taking a black hand off the catapult, or vise versa for player B taking a white hand.

What?? How are you taking hands from the other player's room off the catapult?

Hey there, I've had a handful of people mention this issue, and am still trying to figure out what could be causing it. At the moment there's nothing else to do but to restart the room.

Was player A able to leave their room and proceed to the next area? I might have to implement some kind of unstuck mechanism.

Same issue as this. From your questions me in room A and host had all check marks we completed all puzzles. Puzzle 4 was the last and it did not check for my friend in room B it only said that i had completed the puzzle, all check marks for me and was just missing puzzle 4 check for my friend. although he was able to go back in the start room then travel to room A but still was not aloud to progress. hope this helps sort the bug. Great job on the room.

Yes please! If you don't mind, can you invite me to the group? I'd like to just see what exactly happens.

Thanks for the awesome room. The only bug my friend and I came across was that completing 2-3 (I think; it was the rock-paper-scissors one) caused the hint for 2-2 (catapult one) to disappear instead of the correct one.

Thanks for the report, I'll take a look at it! :)

We had no fist bump hand in 2-1. I only had the other two black hands and couldn't complete that puzzle :(

Hey there! The black fistbump is located on top of the tower of turnable blocks for puzzle 2-4, and usually the last one people find - is it possible you might have missed it?
It's a big oversight that the location is not mentioned in the walkthrough, I just haven't seen any groups not find it, so it never crossed my mind! I'll make sure the walkthrough is updated accordingly. So sorry for the inconvenience, I feel really bad that you weren't able to finish it! :(
