Physical

Finding, building, and manipulating objects

Assembly

Item assembly puzzles require you to combine two or more physical objects to form a tool, reveal a code, or unlock a mechanism. They test spatial reasoning and creative thinking about how objects relate to each other.

Disentanglement

Disentanglement puzzles require you to free a ring, rope, belt, or chain from a post, loop, or frame by finding the one non-obvious path that releases it. They look impossible at first but have a logical solution involving a specific sequence of moves.

Hidden Objects

Hidden object searches involve finding concealed items, secret compartments, and tucked-away clues throughout the room. They are one of the most common puzzle types and the first skill every player should develop.

Tactile

Manipulation puzzles involve physically interacting with locks, dials, sliders, levers, and panels to progress. They add a hands-on dimension that makes you feel like you are truly breaking out of somewhere.

Water Puzzles

Water puzzles involve pouring, filling, or manipulating liquids to reveal hidden messages, float objects to reachable heights, or trigger water-level-based mechanisms.
