Got to the end, and dang! This didn't only require thinking, it required some VERY DEEP thinking! This is by far the most challenging puzzle I have ever done.
Great work to you and your team!
soluce
pour commencer nous sommes en 1986
glisser le masque sur le tableau , nous sommes en 1992 clé jaune sur le lit pour coffre jaune au fond
clé violette ouvre automatiquement un cadenas de la porte
relever les indices : dessins, puzzle , mots ou chiffres au sol ...
chapeau violet à mettre à la place du masque , nous sommes en 2005
coffres à ouvrir , marron : il faut des piles ,
bleu : entrer 7816 , 78 vu sur la marelle en 1992, 16 vu sur le tapis en 2005
= pile , pièce de puzzle
- noter les correspondances au fond du coffre …
- mettre la pile au coffre marron
- aller en 1992 en changeant de masque
- mettre la pièce de puzzle : noter 3824
- aller en 2005
- entrer 3824 sur le coffre marron , cadenas débloqué et nouveau masque
- mettre le masque , nous sommes en 2019
- sur la manette de jeu clic sur haut bas ( flèches blanches ) et sur triangle et X ( vus en 1992)
= 7315 sur le tel en bas de la vue = clé , donc cadenas débloqué et papier lune étoile
- dans chaque vue on trouve les symboles qui sont dans le coffre bleu
sur dessin , sur lettre, dans coffre
- boite sur l'étagère tout en haut à droite , il faut entrer FACADE ,
(fadeca ne fonctionnait pas j'ai bougé les syllabes !)
- faire glisser les papiers, nouveau masque noir
- 2021 c'est le chao !
- en cliquant sur le calendrier j'ai eu un masque
- mettre ce masque = dernière clé et fin de ce joli jeu
Merci pour l'aide ! pour la boîte avec les lettres, sur les côtés de la boîte il y a des petits symboles qui nous indiquent quelle lettre doit se trouver en premier et laquelle est en dernier ;)
I don´t understand the letter code. I have two hints but one of them is an incorrect color, not matching the color of the symbol in the safe.
Art style is great, but the puzzles are far too confusing. In the first room alone there are (from what I've found so far) three sets of two numbers, and two sets of two numbers (plus the 4 digit year) in the second room. I've used every single combination of those numbers into the 4 digit safe to no success. Normally when it comes to puzzle games, I assume I'm just missing something if I can't figure it out. There needs to be more of an indication of what numbers go where.
Amazing game!! a little confusing sometime but just took some thinking to figure it out
I'm stuck in 2005. There are a lot of numbers everywhere, so I don't know wich ones are relevant. I used all the numbers present in 2005 in every order, but couldn't open the right side's safe.
Edit: I found the solution, but I still stand that there are too many numbers without a clear indication of what they are relevant to.
Now I'm stuck at the letters puzzle ;-;
The conological order doesn't seem to be it.
It's kinda unclear and i had to brute force it but the box itself gives us a starting F and ending E, the safe gives a CA somewhere in the middle which makes the word facade
I found this confusing as well because the symbols are hard to see but I think I identified the intended solution
Expand for letters Hint
child's drawing, acceptance letter, safe paper, each 2 lettersthe box tells you first + last letter which leaves only one possible combination.
Would you mind sharing the solution for the safe? I'm totally stumped.
lmk if you figure it out too! I've tried tons of combinations, there's just too many sets of numbers
I got it from the french comment below.
I don't know how to do the spoiler blocker so I guess I will let you translate it as you see fit.
I do think the solution leaves something to be desired, there's no indication of why those numbers are the solution, why they are significant, why they are the relevant numbers and not the many other sets of numbers present.
whats the password
pour ouvrir le coffre bleu il faut utiliser les chiffres des tapis des deux vues
thanks!
Very nice.
Did I miss something with the 2 3 drawings in the kids room?
I don't get the teal safe in the 2005 room....
really pretty, but feels like it's missing direction. finding the second mask and unlocking 2005 is easy enough, but there's no clear indication as to what the combination for the safe is nor whatever the other locked container is. The container on the left also seems broken - the keypad seems unresponsive (nothing happens when i press anything) and half the time pressing on the keys automatically closes the box.
The brown box requires a 9volt battery you get from the safe in order to be opened. I just finished the game and I thought it was super moving, idk my eyes started getting wet in the broken down room of 2021.
