Rooms & Exits Level 2 Walkthrough & Solution

## The Puzzle You've escaped the apartment entrance and find yourself in the living room. A locked cabinet stands against the wall, its door secured with a brass padlock. Near a potted plant, you spot a journal with torn pages, and above the fireplace, a painting of four flowers hangs slightly crooked. The coffee table holds scattered magazines and what appears to be a faded map. ## Solution The padlock combination is Left 3, Right 2, Left 1. This sequence is encoded in the painting above the fireplace. Each flower represents a direction and number: the red rose (left 3), blue tulip (right 2), yellow daisy (left 1), and hidden green stem (right 0). The painting must be rotated clockwise to reveal the hidden information beneath. ## Step-by-Step Walkthrough 1. Tap the painting above the fireplace to examine it closely. At first, you'll see four distinct flowers, but notice the frame appears to have room for rotation at the corners. 2. Swipe or rotate the painting clockwise. As it turns, text becomes visible on the previously hidden back of the frame listing the combination sequence using directional terms. 3. Locate the torn journal pages scattered near the potted plant. Collect all four pages and assemble them in your inventory. The completed journal contains hints about the cabinet's purpose and contents. 4. From the assembled journal, you'll read a passage mentioning follow the blooms in order from deep red to pale yellow. This corresponds to the flower sequence on the painting. 5. Move to the coffee table and examine the faded map. It shows the apartment layout with numbers marked at specific locations. Circle the numbers that match the flowers in the painting to confirm your sequence. 6. Return to the painting and note down the combination by matching each flower color to its corresponding direction and number: red (left 3), blue (right 2), yellow (left 1). 7. Approach the brass padlock on the cabinet. Set the dial to Left 3 by rotating it three times counterclockwise. Then turn Right 2 (clockwise twice). Finally, turn Left 1 (counterclockwise once). The lock will click open. 8. Open the cabinet doors to reveal your next clue and some items needed for subsequent levels. ## Why This Level Is Tricky Systematic room sweep: start from the left wall and work clockwise, tapping every object. Note items you can pick up versus items that react but stay in place. Collect everything first, then revisit locked or blocked areas with your inventory items. ## Common Mistakes Players frequently make these errors on Level 2: - Entering code combinations too hastily without double-checking the clue source for accuracy. - Ignoring environmental storytelling — notes, posters, and books in the room often contain numbers or patterns needed for codes. - Using items on the wrong lock or receptacle, then assuming the item is useless.
