Escape Room in North Rhine-Westphalia

How are hints displayed?

Look at the heading for where you need help. Then open the notes up to the point where you need help.

The two square symbols are QR codes. To read them, a QR code reader on a smartphone or tablet is needed. This is available for free from the Google Play Store or the Apple Store.

To open the small wooden box, you need to use a trick. Grasp the corners of the box's edge with your thumb and index finger and pull an inner secret drawer out of the box lengthways.

In the video, you get a hint as to where to shine the blacklight lamp and find a number.

Using the clue, you get the order: Flags, Sails, Cannons, Parrots. Counting these in the image gives you the code for a four-digit combination lock.

The code is 3-7-7-1

If you paint in the direction of the cardinal points on a blank sheet, you get a code for a three-digit combination lock.

The code is 9-4-2

When you open the image on your smartphone, computer or tablet and then hold the small image at the correct size against the display, you will get a three-digit code for a combination lock. Depending on the screen size, you will need to reduce or enlarge the image size. Use the compass and the frame as a guide. Both must be exactly on top of each other.

The code is 7-4-9

The solution word is ACHTERN. Perhaps a number is hidden in the word for a four-digit combination lock.

Each box must be filled with a digit from 1 to 9. Each digit must appear once in each column and in each row, and once in each square.

The numbers you're looking for are:
3-3+3-3+8+8-6-8+7 = 9
The solution is needed for the four-digit combination lock.

If you look at the beginnings of each line, you'll find a clue.

Behind each code is a letter. For this, you need the book „Treasure Island“ and look for page (P), line (L), word (W), and letter (L).

To solve the puzzle, you must repeatedly check all statements on the left. The easiest way is to write down all possibilities small in the boxes on the right and then gradually cross out what is not possible in the corresponding place.

The parrot belongs to Stoppelbart.

A solution has been found for the Riddle of the Five Ships. This can now be tried out. You always take the red number first and then the blue number. This results in letters. The code for M, for example, would be 23. This forms a solution word for the word lock.

The solution word is derived from the puzzle of the Five Ships and the code table

The solution is OCEAN. To open the lock, set the code on the line correctly and then pull the lock down firmly.
