Tips and tricks
- Look for forced moves — places where only one option is legal. Solving those first shrinks the problem.
- Work backwards from the goal. Ask what the final state has to look like, then ask what the state before that must be.
- Do not memorise solutions, memorise principles. The level after this one will use the same idea in a new arrangement.
- Count. Tiles, moves, colours, matches — many puzzles are secretly arithmetic, and a quick count reveals the plan.
- Because this is a Escape game, click everything once, then think — escape games reward a full inventory of clues.
