   I,ve got the Show

   panel off the wall by the door but can’t figure out the numbers. I guess the code under bench has the key to it?

   If anybody needs hints, let me know?
   Kidney Bean, Show

   yep the code under the bench is the clue to figuring out the right numbers to put in. Think jigsaw – try and fit the all the numbers and how they were placed into the code on the door.

    I’ve found two numbers for the code, but can’t find the other two.

    OK let me try and make this easier: Show

    the stuff you see on the bench are all part of the number puzzle. They are like jigsaw pieces; you need to attach them to each other to get the full picture. There’s a common 6 right? Start from there. For eg, you know that diagonally opposite 6 is a 3 and that above 6 and 2 spaces beside it is a 3. Fit all the rest of the segments in and you’ll get the full picture.

    Gomez0, Show

    look outside the room and look at the note you get. It mentions that the code is the room number. If you look outside the room carefully (with the peephole), you’d see numbers. Input them in. Do take note that the code has to be inputed in reverse order since the numbers are mirror images.

    Gomez0, I think I should elaborate further Show

    the numbers you see outside ar NOT your room number. If, for eg, you see 27 on your left and 29 on your right, that means your room number is 28. So don’t key in wrongly. And oh I forgot to mention use the alarm light to peep outside. The numbers will be clearer.

    walkthrough if you need one

    Show

    1.you must look carefully at the hints at the bench and to make it easier the code is 158, 234, 679.

    2.look at the mirror of the door you will see 9-3 and 4-7 so you must be 9348 or 9346 to make it easier its 9348 and because its a mirror you must write it backwards 8439 in the fuse panel and a lever will come out.

    3.put power to the door and pull the lever and your out :)

    where do you find lever, and where do you put second code?

    Excellent walkthrough with clear explanations from EscapeGames24 by Sharon:
    Show

    All right, the combination lock for your door is hidden according to Simeon’s note. The combination itself is simply your cell number.

    The fusebox has one fuse that you can switch around to alarm, which doesn’t do anything useful, light, self-explanatory, and door, which will power the combination lock and actually open your door once you get the right code.

    Oh wait – the alarm does do something useful. Look out the peephole; you can swing right or left, and if you move your mouse up or down you can focus the view somewhat. For some reason, in normal light, the right set of numbers is 9-3, and the left set is 4-7. (Don’t over think this.) In “alarm” mode, when you look out, you can see the right set of number is 9-3-4… hmmm, so the number for the cell must be something like 9347. You’re right next to that cell, so you’re either 9346 or 9348, got it?

    Okay, the lock had to be hidden from the prison guards, so it’s behind the panel bolted to the wall next to the door. Trial and error will get you the sequence you need to remove the panel, but if you’re in a hurry, it’s right-middle, bottom-middle, and right-middle.

    The good news is, the panel is off, the bad news is, you have a number grid in front of you. Hmmm, a grid, maybe like a tic-tac-toe board?

    Looking at the bench, you can see your friends have given you several pieces of grid. They’re not math problems, they’re simply segments to attach to one another. The gray area on the door, (where you’d receive food if you were here that long), has a number 8 in the top right corner. So we have
    x x 8
    2 x x
    x x x

    We know that 1 and 5 are in the top row, so it’s a question of whether the top row reads 518, or 158.

    We know that 6 has to be on the left edge of the grid, because it shows up in two sections. If you put them together you get

    x 3 4
    6 x x

    That number 6 obviously isn’t in the top row because it’s UNDER a row, and it can’t be the second row since we know that the 2 is in that spot, so the 6 is in the third row. So now we have

    x x 8
    2 3 4
    6 x x

    Those are either going to be 518 or 158, and 697 or 679. Test them out and see… or if you’re in a hurry, it’s 158, 234, 679.

    Progress, the panel comes off! Only now there’s something else here. We have metal rods that slide left and righ, and wood blocks that move up and down. Poking around shows us little number wheel hiding under the bottom row, and when we work to move the rest of the pieces out of the way, we get a partial view of four little wheels.

    At first the symbols on here look like gibberish, but after a moment you realize that the letters are simply upside down, and the numbers are reversed — mirror images.

    We already looked out the window and figured out that our room has to be either 9346 or 9348; since the numbers are backwards, let’s enter those numbers from right to left, and see what happens.

    If you’re in a hurry, it’s 9348; enter it 8439.

    Hey, a lever pops up – that’s cool. We pull on it and… hmm.

    Oh, right, the door needs power to operate the lock. Okay, we go switch the fuse from Light to Door, and we’ve made our escape.

    Thanks Simeon; thanks, Talos Society; now I just have to go steal the evidence linking you guys to those incidents – nice job leaving a trail for people to follow you, ya dorks – but I can wait to do that until Part 2 comes along.
