mirror escape
How are your escape the room skills? Can you escape Mirror by Kotorinosu?
I've tried to use the screwdriver but I supose that it won't work until I have it all, not only a half of it. But where to find the other part? And what to do with the piece of puzzle?
Yeah, almost! You've got to consider ALL the tubes. I mean, not just the shortest (yellow) and the longest (purple). And you need their POSITION in the carrier!
Well, what you see in the caleido IS the heart, but reflected 8 times, so in each slice you only see a part of it. You have to figure out how it is oriented. I don't remember the colour order, I'm sorry.
Uhm... ok, when you rotate the image try to individuate the... top part of the heart, so you can set the first colours, then slowly move left and right from there to get the others. I can't explain myself better, I'm afraid. :)
Well, than I have a problem. I think I have the code, but it doesn't work.
I have to combine the patterns of shirt, bow tie and fan with the clues from the CD thing behind the wall panel somehow, right? If so, I don't get it. :-/
Does anyone know what to do after opening the box with the fuses/energy thingy? Got the key from the fan, but that's it. Can't move the mirrors to redirect the laser and the screen in the other room is out of my reach, after activating it's power. -.-
See their pattern, u got the disk right? turn the disk, u will see 3 picture and 3 words- C,R,L and a bowtie, a propeler, a shirt. C means centre, L means left, R means Right
This was the best escape game I've played so far. Good difficulty and no "cheap" clues written on walls. Every puzzle had to be solved and many were clever. I somehow made it through with no help, which was even better. Very enjoyable!
Here's some hints: for the sink, look at the puzzle pieces. for the kaleidoscope, there are six pie-shaped sections ---focus on only one of the six sections as you rotate it to figure out the original six squares that are being reflected around. You may want to cover up the rest as it will be a distraction. With the power, there are a number of things you have to do in order. turn off the fan, find a code for the cabinet, manipulate the mirrors, get to the computer.
I've looked at the puzzle pieces, but I still don't get it. I think I'm doing something wrong with the buttons at the sink, because I'm not sure what order to click it in. :d
yeah i'm still not getting the faucet thing. i know it has to do with the puzzle and the missing piece but i can't for the life of me figure out what to do!
To do the faucet you have to press inward the corresponding button to the outward connecting puzzle piece section, it works like a pattern of changing the shape one side at a time and never completely depressing all sides. After you have followed the pattern then you press the middle cross.
Anonymous 21:44, you have to figure out take off the picture on the wall with a clover in the center. Open the piece of paper found in the cd case, line it up with the picture on the wall then press the buttons in order from 1-6. After you take the picture off, put in the CD and when you get a complete letter, say C, see what else matches up (bowtie I think)
Now that's a fun game! Took some thinking in spots, but isn't that what makes it fun in the first place? :D
This is totally unimportant, but there's a funny kinda glitch you can do on the picture frame with the club in it. If you click and hold on any side of the frame, then drag the mouse near the club in the center and release, the entire frame moves slightly towards the side you originally clicked. By repeating this, you can actually move the frame far enough to see that there's stuff behind it- pretty goofy.
Anonymous 12:49, if you mean the faucet pattern, it goes like this: press right, left, bottom, left, top, right, bottom, and finally the central cross.
Nope i mean , like others ,, the pattern code for the door ,, i have the cd and see the code ,, butt it doesnt works . i see the jacked , the fan... butt i try all the posisions with that.
if somebody can send the picure for that thing .. whe all can play the game ..
@Alexander: If it's lettered columns and numbered rows, then it would be A3 then B2 then A3, right? That would correspond with the directions on the note and the position of the tubes. UGH...so dense....I hate being stuck
Oh my gosh. Way too hard. I have even followed a walkthrough and cannot understand it. I was given the solution to the kaleidescope puzzle and have no idea why it works. I give up.

Excellent interlocking puzzles. I'm still looking for the coin with the circle symbol on it -- any hint as to where it is? Have I overlooked something simple?
OK, for Anonymous 16:44 and anyone else wondering about the pattern code for the door:
Just trying each combination of the 3 cloth patterns won't work UNLESS you have already placed the CD into the holder behind the club picture frame. I had the exact same problem until I did this- the door WILL NOT UNLOCK EVEN WITH THE CORRECT CODE until you have done this.
SPOILER BELOW
The correct combination from left to right is black with grey squares; blue with white circles; brown and cream diamonds.
The clue to where to place the coins on the exit door can be found on the computer screen in the 2nd room. You have 4 set chains to fit into the pattern and they can only fit in one way. Black circles = no coin. When you're done there's one 'hole' not accounted for, which is where you put the final coin.
Clue: start with the grey 'hole' at the top of the pattern and work from there!
Too freaking hard for my teeny tiny brain LOL, I've given up, can't get even the most basic puzzle. Now I love puzzles, but these are taking too long for my ADD brain...
@Allegro You should never stop reading when you're halfway through a book. (I think it's said like that, but I'm not sure 'cos I've just looked it up in Wordreference -I'm Spanish-. If any1 could help me how to say it, It'd be great!). I hope you find this hint useful! By the way, does any1 know what to do whit the caleido? Thanks!

ReplyDeletedoes any1 know how to open one of the save?
ReplyDeleteIf you have found the little piece of paper with the test-tubes, you are able to open the safe under the clock
ReplyDeleteOh, in that safe there's the other part of the screwdriver; the puzzle piece will be used later.
ReplyDeletei still haven't figure how to open the safe
ReplyDeleteObserve the test-tube carrier and the buttons on the safe. The paper indicates the sequence
ReplyDeletedo i have to press every botton that on there?
ReplyDeleteUhm... no, just some of them.
ReplyDeleterava, you mean: purple, yellow, purple?
ReplyDeletei give up :(
ReplyDeletei'll play this another time when i can think clear

ReplyDeleteHave it!!! Thanks a lot, rava!!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I inverted the colours, yellow is the longest and purple the shortest.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome!! :D
ReplyDeletehow do you use screwdriver
ReplyDeletenevermind
ReplyDeleteyou use the screwdriver in 2 places: the fun and the drawer
ReplyDeleteYou can use it on the diamond drawer and on the fan.
ReplyDeleteI'm stucked in the caleidoscope. I don't know what figure I have to do with it
ReplyDeletehave you opened the heart drawer?
ReplyDeleteYes, I suposo I have to find a heart in the caleido, but I cannot
ReplyDeleteI have littie circle with triangle, beaker, little piece of paper, diamond key, half of screwdriver, and puzzle piece. WHAT NOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, what you see in the caleido IS the heart, but reflected 8 times, so in each slice you only see a part of it. You have to figure out how it is oriented. I don't remember the colour order, I'm sorry.
ReplyDeleteLook at the post of Rava of 16:11 and nexts
ReplyDeletecan anyone help!?!?!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteRava, thanks a lot for everything, but I'm not that smart, I supose. I cannot find the colours in the caleido

ReplyDeleteok, but you got to tell WHERE you are stuck! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree. Very, very difficult!!!
ReplyDeleteRava, I need help with the caleido (Anna)
ReplyDeleteUhm... ok, when you rotate the image try to individuate the... top part of the heart, so you can set the first colours, then slowly move left and right from there to get the others. I can't explain myself better, I'm afraid. :)
ReplyDeleteHow do you open safe under clock
ReplyDeleteRava I think i need to open safe next, thats where im stuck
ReplyDeleteAnyone know what to do with the clock? I've put the clock hand on the clock, but have no clue what to do now.
ReplyDeletebesides, where is the caleido?
Now I have it Rava!!!!! You have explained perfectly!!!!! Thanks!!! (Anna)
ReplyDeletethe safe next what? For the one under the clock you need the little piece of paper with the test tubes, for the other you need the fan cover.
ReplyDelete@Anna: "Perfectly" is not the word I would use, but... you're welcome! :D
ReplyDelete@Guybrush: you'll find the clock code and the caleido in the room behind the door. Figure out the lock code.
ReplyDeletenevermind opend safe. how do u combine handle with main part of screwdriver?
ReplyDeleteselect the main part and use it on the handle.
ReplyDeleteok,I'm going to quit now. Bye, guys!
ReplyDeleteWell, than I have a problem. I think I have the code, but it doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteI have to combine the patterns of shirt, bow tie and fan with the clues from the CD thing behind the wall panel somehow, right?
If so, I don't get it. :-/
Doh! Ok, the last one! :) You're right, every clue is linked to a letter, right? That letters indicate the position of the patterns.
ReplyDeleteI'm stuck. I've opened the safe underneath the clock, I have a science flask, a book, the black safe, a green disk and the main part of a screwdriver.
ReplyDeleteD'oh! >.<
ReplyDeleteThanks, now it worked.
I just thought to complicated... ^^'
Never mind, I found a cupboard that I'd completely ignored :/
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know what to do after opening the box with the fuses/energy thingy?
ReplyDeleteGot the key from the fan, but that's it. Can't move the mirrors to redirect the laser and the screen in the other room is out of my reach, after activating it's power. -.-
The Puzzle Chip - The last one...how?????
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteNo, sorry. But how did you get into the other room? I can see the patterns on the bow-tie, the jumper and the fan, but what do I do with them?
ReplyDeleteSee their pattern, u got the disk right? turn the disk, u will see 3 picture and 3 words- C,R,L and a bowtie, a propeler, a shirt. C means centre, L means left, R means Right
ReplyDeleteI have tried every single combination of the three. What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me the sequence for the sink? :c I've tried everything, but I still don't get it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't opened the heart box either, yet. Should I have?

You obviously can't move the mirrors by clicking on them. There is another place to control them.
ReplyDeletecan somebody help me with the combination for the door.. i tryed every posision, still closed :S:S
ReplyDeleteI've looked at the puzzle pieces, but I still don't get it. I think I'm doing something wrong with the buttons at the sink, because I'm not sure what order to click it in. :d
ReplyDeleteWow. I can't get out the exit door. Someone please help.
ReplyDeleteplease someone help with the combination pattern lock.it doesn't work for me either
ReplyDeleteCan someone just post the pattern code, it's not working when I try. :$
ReplyDeleteAnd OUT! Great, great, greaaaaaat game... But very hard. I loved it!
ReplyDeleteyeah i'm still not getting the faucet thing. i know it has to do with the puzzle and the missing piece but i can't for the life of me figure out what to do!
ReplyDeleteTo do the faucet you have to press inward the corresponding button to the outward connecting puzzle piece section, it works like a pattern of changing the shape one side at a time and never completely depressing all sides. After you have followed the pattern then you press the middle cross.
ReplyDeleteIf you are looking at one missing piece of the puzzle, you can't solve the water puzzle. Once you find the missing piece, you will see more.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 21:44,

Can someone please tell me how to open the power box?
ReplyDeleteHow to open the last door???
ReplyDeleteWhere can I find CD??
ReplyDeleteNow that's a fun game! Took some thinking in spots, but isn't that what makes it fun in the first place? :D

Can someone just post the pattern code
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 12:49, if you mean the faucet pattern, it goes like this: press right, left, bottom, left, top, right, bottom, and finally the central cross.
ReplyDeleteNope i mean , like others ,, the pattern code for the door ,, i have the cd and see the code ,, butt it doesnt works . i see the jacked , the fan... butt i try all the posisions with that.
ReplyDeleteif somebody can send the picure for that thing .. whe all can play the game ..
It won't load. All I get is a white rectangle where think the game is supposed to be. :(
ReplyDeleteI can not get the safe under the clock. I am putting together what I think is the correct combination from the test tubes...no luck! Help!
ReplyDelete@bunny the order ist from low to high and to low from the tubes
ReplyDeletelook at the positions!!!
@Alexander: If it's lettered columns and numbered rows, then it would be A3 then B2 then A3, right? That would correspond with the directions on the note and the position of the tubes. UGH...so dense....I hate being stuck
ReplyDeleteFINALLY. walked away for a minute then I GOT IT. thanks Alexander
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. Way too hard. I have even followed a walkthrough and cannot understand it. I was given the solution to the kaleidescope puzzle and have no idea why it works. I give up.

ReplyDelete@Bunny:
ReplyDeleteIt's actually A1, C1, D3, C3, B2, C3, D3, C1, A1
Excellent interlocking puzzles. I'm still looking for the coin with the circle symbol on it -- any hint as to where it is? Have I overlooked something simple?
ReplyDeleteYep, I overlooked something blindingly simple. Found the coin a minute after posting last message.
ReplyDelete... and out. Very satisfying.
ReplyDeleteWow, finally managed it!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm finally out. Difficult and fun game.
ReplyDeleteOK, for Anonymous 16:44 and anyone else wondering about the pattern code for the door:
ReplyDeleteJust trying each combination of the 3 cloth patterns won't work UNLESS you have already placed the CD into the holder behind the club picture frame. I had the exact same problem until I did this- the door WILL NOT UNLOCK EVEN WITH THE CORRECT CODE until you have done this.

The correct combination from left to right is black with grey squares; blue with white circles; brown and cream diamonds.
END SPOILER
Hope that helps everyone who has been asking.
how do you put the coins? any1 know the correct places?
ReplyDelete99 comments? So this must be the 100th! XD
ReplyDeleteThe clue to where to place the coins on the exit door can be found on the computer screen in the 2nd room. You have 4 set chains to fit into the pattern and they can only fit in one way. Black circles = no coin. When you're done there's one 'hole' not accounted for, which is where you put the final coin.
ReplyDeleteClue: start with the grey 'hole' at the top of the pattern and work from there!
Too freaking hard for my teeny tiny brain LOL, I've given up, can't get even the most basic puzzle. Now I love puzzles, but these are taking too long for my ADD brain...
ReplyDeletecarad says: missing the diamond coin. where is it?
ReplyDelete@Allegro

By the way, does any1 know what to do whit the caleido? Thanks!
Sorry. I meant WITH the caleido (typing error) :)
ReplyDeleteWell, in fact, I do know there's a heart in the caleido and I've already got the colours, but I don't know what to do with them! Any hints? Thanks!
