- Gear #1 – Carpet Hole Puzzle
- Gear #2 – Perspective Puzzle
- Gear #3 – Binary Pipes Puzzle
- Gear #4 – Spokes & Teeth Puzzle
- Step 2: Insert Gear Values
- Step 3: Symbol Cipher Puzzle
- Step 4: Lever Alphabet Puzzle
- Step 5: Machine Value Puzzle
- Step 6: Rotating Alphabet Puzzle
- Step 7: Clock Time Puzzle (Final)
- Final Result
- Quick Summary (All Codes)
Step 1: Collect All 4 Gears
Gear #1 – Carpet Hole Puzzle
- Match the Y-shaped symbol with the poster
- Count holes in each carpet
Code: 4 6 5 8
You get the first gear
Gear #2 – Perspective Puzzle
- Find matching symbol
- Look from the bottom perspective
Code: 9 6 4 3
You get the second gear
Gear #3 – Binary Pipes Puzzle
- Each pipe = binary code
- Convert binary to numbers
Binary → Decimal:
- 0001 = 1
- 0100 = 4
- 1001 = 9
- 0110 = 6
Code: 1 4 9 6
You get the third gear
Gear #4 – Spokes & Teeth Puzzle
- Spokes = digit order
- Teeth = number value
Code: 8 5 6 7 9
You get the fourth gear
Step 2: Insert Gear Values
Assign values:
- Green = 9
- Blue = 8
- Red = 3
- Star = 6
This unlocks the cipher puzzle
Step 3: Symbol Cipher Puzzle
- Align symbol (like “circle with dot”)
- Translate symbols using the chart
- Repeat for all sections
Final Phrase:
- First 6
- Then 5
- Next 9
- And 3
Code: 6 5 9 3
Step 4: Lever Alphabet Puzzle
- Turn OFF letters that appear in the word
- Observe lights forming numbers
Code: 2 0 6 5
Step 5: Machine Value Puzzle
Set values based on logic:
- A = 30
- B = 15
- C = 25
- D = 30
Then input chemical codes:
- 3EP
- E6C
- 5NY
- SE1
- AC2
- A14R
This unlocks the next area
Step 6: Rotating Alphabet Puzzle
Rules:
- Numbers 1–4 → rotate left
- Numbers 5–9 → rotate right
Follow rotations and decode all 5 lines
Final instruction says: enter code backwards
Code: 1392
Step 7: Clock Time Puzzle (Final)
Enter times:
- Beijing → 6:15
- Dubai → 9:45
- Moscow → 3:00
- Cairo → 6:45
- London → 3:15
- New York → 9:00
Watch clock hands form digits
Final Code: 5092
Final Result
Enter 5092 to complete the chapter.
