PROGRESSIVE HINTS

Need a Nudge?

Progressive hints for each stage — start gentle, go bigger if you're really stuck.

The F.R.I.D.G.E Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by examining the contents of the four food containers and the names written on their labels.

Look closely and you’ll notice that the letters in each name correspond to the food items inside its container. Repeated letters are represented by repeated food items.

For example, Sally contains two Ls, and her container contains two pea pods, indicating that a pea pod represents the letter L. This is confirmed by Alisa’s container, which also contains a pea pod and has an L in her name.

Continue comparing the names and their contents to determine the letter represented by each food item:

pea pod = L

broccoli = Y

cheese = I

chicken leg = S

egg half = A

tomato = D,

carrot = E.

Once all the food items have been translated into letters, read them in the order indicated on the Post-it note to reveal the secret word.

The word corresponding to the F.R.I.D.G.E. puzzle is ALIAS.

The R.E.M.O.T.E. Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by identifying the four words that “break apart,” meaning they are split into two parts.

Next, identify the remote-control button that matches one part of each word:

star-tle → star,

devi-ant → ant,

tur-key → key,

cat-egory → cat.

Each of these buttons has a unique shape.

Now, use the doormat and begin at the START position. Follow the sequence of button shapes corresponding to star → ant → key → cat, moving from one space to another as indicated.

At the end of each complete sequence, collect the letter closest to your final position. Then repeat the same sequence from your new position, collecting one letter each time, until the letters reveal the answer.

The word corresponding to the R.E.M.O.T.E. puzzle is PANEL.

The T.I.M.E. Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by examining the seven utensil cards. Each one is labeled, but you’ll notice that some letters within the words are highlighted in either blue or red. These highlighted letters correspond to the Roman numerals on the wall clock.

Take the two clock hands and use the utensil grid to identify the pair of utensils indicated at each of the five locations.

For each pair, use the highlighted letters to position the blue and red clock hands on their corresponding Roman numerals. The two hands create a line configuration that matches the ones in the cipher on the plates.

Repeat this process for all five locations on the grid, translating each clock-hand configuration into a letter to reveal the five-letter secret word.

The word corresponding to the T.I.M.E. puzzle is PANEL.

The W.A.S.H. Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by placing the small cipher disk on top of the larger base.

Arrange the five laundry item cards in the order indicated by the number in the bottom-right corner of each card. For each one, rotate the small disk until its arrow points to the color and pattern combination that matches the laundry item.

Once correctly aligned, the two empty slots reveal a laundry symbol and a set of dots. Find the matching laundry symbol on the laundry guide and read its corresponding instruction.

Follow that instruction using the name of the laundry item, which indicate which letter to select from the name.

Repeat the process for all five laundry cards, then read the selected letters in order to reveal the five-letter answer.

The word corresponding to the W.A.S.H. puzzle is KNIFE.

The A.R.T. Puzzle

To solve the puzzle, begin by placing the comb on the abstract painting in each of the five positions indicated by the dots.

Once the comb has been placed in all five positions, the revealed letters spell out the message "ONLY THE BLUE WORDS COUNT".

Next, take the three bookmarks and match each blue rectangle with its corresponding word and letter-reading rule. Each word contains letters marked with an X, indicating that they should be excluded, while the digits indicate the order in which the remaining letters should be read.

Follow the markings and reading order for each word to uncover the five-letter answer.

The word corresponding to the A.R.T. puzzle is COVER.

Revealing the Final Code

To solve the puzzle, make sure all previous answers are correclty filled in.

Then, consult the card and identity the four square groups by color and read the letters as indicated by the arrows to spell out digits.

The first digit is SEVEN.

The second digit is NINE.

The third digitis ONE.

The fourth digit is FIVE.

The word corresponding to the final E.S.C.A.P.E puzzle is 7915. Enter it at the top of the page to check it.
