Yet Another Escape: Classroom

Feel free to consult the hints below if you're stuck. Puzzles are listed in order you see them when rotating clockwise around the room to avoid spoilers on their order

General

Small Hint

Items that are part of the same puzzle are mostly colour-coded similarly. Some items have multiple colours or have similar colours to unrelated items, but if two items have different vivid colours and have no other connections (shape, proximity, etc.) then they are probably not related

Key-behind-bars puzzle

Small Hint

You need to rearrange the pieces so they form a certain shape

Hint

The target shape is closer than you might think

Solution

Recreate the outline of the teeth on the key - you can see enough of it through the bars

Whiteboard - equation

Small Hint

The equation should not be interpreted fully mathematically

Hint 1

It should be interpreted phonetically (if you tried to pronounce the groups of letters, what do they sound like?)

Hint 2

The answer to this puzzle is the 3-digit combo for the only remaining locked cabinet. If there is more than one locked cabinet you do not have all the clues you need yet

Hint 3

You need to unlock the desk top drawer first

Solution

Ax is the number on the book with the axe on it, Byk is the number associated with biking on the schedule in the desk top drawer

Desk - top drawer lock

Small Hint

You need to solve a puzzle inside a cabinet first

Solution

After solving the puzzle inside the red cabinet, simply recreate the pattern that appears

Desk - bottom drawer lock

Small Hint

The similarly-coloured poster on the back wall is relevant

Hint

There is a 6x3 grid of items somewhere that can be used as a key

Solution

Observe the paper in the recycling titled "spring course scores". Mark blue the positions where the letters S, C, and I are

Computer password

Small Hint 1

Try using the pencil on the sticky note

Small Hint 2

The other pieces of this puzzle are all yellow

Small Hint 3

The other pieces of this puzzle all involve consecutive numbers

Hint 1

At least one piece is hidden behind another puzzle

Hint 2

Try to associate the numbers to letters

Solution

MODE=1234 (red cabinet), DESK=3456 (desk at back wall), KING=6789 (wall drawing). Substitute letters for the numbers on the note

Window Planters

Small Hint

You can stick the coloured square keys from the back desk into the dirt between plants

Hint

You need to solve the computer password first

Solution

After accessing the computer, the squares with symbols correspond to the positions to insert the keys. The symbols match the contents of the nearby cabinets to indicate the colour

Bookshelf - before panel opens

Small Hint

The reading poster in the back wall is relevant

Hint

You need to pull the books in a certain order

Solution

"GO READ" is the clue, match each book to the first letter of their title (and what the object displayed starts with) and pull them in that order

Bookshelf - after panel opens

Small Hint

This is not a math puzzle, you need another clue to piece together with this

Hint 1

You need the full scores paper

Hint 2

The solution to this puzzle is the 3-digit combo for the similarly-coloured cabinet

Solution

Look for the rows in the scores paper. For example, if a student number is 135789 and a row of the grid reads "5?8" then that row means digit 7, and a grid that reads "?35" means digit 1

Red cabinet - lock

Small Hint

The clue for this puzzle is pretty obvious. If you're stuck then you probably haven't found it yet

Hint

You need to open the vent on the front wall first

Solution

Open the vent with a screwdriver and copy the similarly-coloured arrows hidden behind the vent

Red cabinet - contents

Small Hint

The operation of the puzzle can be figured out with trial-and-error, but to be explicit: you start in the top left moving 1 in any direction, and you have 8 moves. Moving in any direction costs 1 move and changing the amount to move by also costs 1 move

Hint 1

It's easy to move anywhere in the grid, you will need another clue to learn more about the objective

Hint 2

The top-right drawing on the chalkboard hints that you need to move to the bottom right corner while travelling along the lines in the drawing, without using more than 8 moves

Solution

Change mode to 3, move down, change mode to 2, move right, move up, move right, change mode to 3, move down

Blue cabinet - contents

Small Hint

The only required clue is visible from the start of the game

Hint 1

Look on the board with drawings on it

Hint 2

Look for the letters in the drawing of the person, then turn the knobs to match the orientation

Solution

The body and lowered arm forms an A, the glasses form a B, the nose forms a C, the mouth forms a D, the hand forms an E

Door lock

Small Hint

Simply find all the required objects and insert them. You cannot insert something into the wrong spot

Hint

Most of them are keys, but it looks like there's an empty spot in the inventory where the last key would go. Is there anything else you can use?

Hint 2

Something blue and hexagonal?

Solution

Use the screwdriver on the bottom slot
