Enroll at Escape Academy, a prestigious school that trains aspiring Escapists to be the best. As players sharpen their skills, they quickly realize that the game's characters are in for a tough time. This point is further proven by Escape Academy's DLC, "Escape from Anti-Escape Island." In this thrilling expansion, the cast's summer vacation takes an unexpected turn when their plane crashes on an uncharted island. Players must use their wits to escape the treacherous island.
Introducing "The Experiment," the fourth installment of Escape Academy's "Escape from Anti-Escape Island" DLC. In this challenging chapter, players find themselves trapped in the lab of Doctor Nemeth. To progress, they must conquer a series of mind-boggling puzzles and outsmart Doctor Nemeth. "The Experiment" boasts a difficulty rating of five and features six intricate puzzles to solve. Players will have a limited thirty-minute timeframe to crack them all.
Decode the Wires
Upon completion of the interaction with Doctor Nemeth, players are transported to the scientist’s laboratory. An initial exploration enables players to spot a lift positioned directly in front of their starting point. By activating the button adjacent to the entrance and boarding the lift, players are lowered to a control terminal for one of the turrets. Inspection of the terminal reveals that its power source has been deactivated. Consequently, players are required to reestablish proper functionality.
Distribute the Widgets
Two wires extend from the terminal, resting on the floor. By following each wire, you will discover two distinct consoles. The console on the left requires players to solve a password. Commencing with the digit 2, a sequence of arrows corresponds to labeled panels on the walls. Start at the panel marked with a '2' and follow the arrows to unveil the password: TONIGHT. Repeat this process to ascertain the password for the terminal on the right: FORGIVE. Successfully inputting both passwords will activate the turret.
An error occurs when attempting to activate the turret, resulting in a malfunction. In order to rectify this issue, players are advised to locate the Troubleshooting Manual and Maintenance Key, both of which can be found in nearby boxes. These valuable resources will enable access to the panel located on the rear side of the turret. Upon opening the panel, three disks are revealed, each of which requires decoding utilizing the Troubleshooting Manual. The solution for this puzzle can be observed in the provided image below:
