The trick is that you only have a certain amount of "pieces" you can put on the grid to form the chemical structure. Once you know that the shape can be formed by placing pieces with lines that sit on both the "inside" and the "outside" edges of the chemical structure, it becomes much easier to solve.
The Fuel Tank Monitor Puzzle in "Space Walk" room is another of those puzzles that seems like it should be super complicated but actually is rather straightforward. The key to solving the Fuel Tank Monitor is actually hidden on the Hatch Monitor used to open the door. If you click on the "sensors" button on the Hatch, a new screen will appear that shows a pie graph that correlates with the bar graph on the fuel tank.
Completing the puzzle is as simple as tweaking each labeled column so that the amounts represent the percentages shown in the pie graph. As you wander through the "Chamber of the Dead" of the Labyrinth of Egypt episode, you should find a couple of weighted round stones. Some are blue and have tally marks on them which represent numbers and how much they weigh. Three other stones are red and have icons on them that correspond with one of the red "dice" number locks on the wall.
Using the golden scale is the key to this solution. The code is found by weighing the red stones against the numbered blue stones to determine how much each red stone "weighs". Just know that the weight of the red stone might not exactly correspond to the blue stone weights you have, and you will have to make an educated guess as to their weight. Even once you find the fourth pyramid that fits into this puzzle inside the "Chamber of Danger", it is bewildering to look at.
Luckily, the solution is as simple as process of elimination. On top, you see there are four boxes with symbols on three sides, and a symbol is missing from the fourth "bottom" side. Each brown rotating pyramid has icons that directly correspond with a box on top, including the missing "fourth" icon.
To complete the code on the red combo lock, find the brown pyramid that matches each box to figure out which fourth symbol is missing, then follow the line from the box to match up with the correct missing symbol on the red dial.
You might be thinking, "great, now I need to know how to code? Not quite. Online design websites like Canva can help you personalize puzzles to match your game. Writing in invisible ink is a great puzzle for spy-themed escape rooms, and works for any other theme too.
The only ingredients you need to mix up a batch of secret spy ink are lemon juice and water. To read the letter, hold the paper up to a light. Be sure to include a lamp, candle, or flashlight in the room so that puzzle-solvers can decipher the message. For best results, test read the message beforehand to ensure the letter is legible. Speaking of secret messages, you can use your finger for writing a note on a mirror, picture frame, or window. The oil from your finger will transfer to the glass, and the message will remain invisible until the puzzle-solvers add moisture.
Either supply an electric kettle or garment steamer, write the message in a bathroom with a working shower, or use clues to instruct participants to blow directly on the glass. One of the best places to hide a clue is inside a balloon.
Simply slip the object or message into the unblown balloon. Then, fill the balloon with air. Players will need to pop the balloon in order to retrieve the clue, so be sure to supply a sharp object and a hint that players may need to make noise. This clue is most appropriate for a carnival or prom-themed room, but you could integrate balloons into another setting too.
For instance, perhaps a mad scientist uses balloons as part of an experiment to weaponize static electricity, or maybe a kidnapped character received a balloon bouquet gift for a recent achievement. One of the most often suggested free DIY escape room puzzle ideas is to padlock a pair of scissors. Players should need to use the scissors as part of a future clue, and the combination or key to open the padlock should be part of a preceding clue. For example, perhaps players need to cut a string as part of a clue or puzzle, but must first unlock the scissors.
Escape room solvers need to discover directions to crack the case, as puzzle masters may give hints, but not explicit instructions. Of course, providing a straightforward answer key spoils the fun, so add an extra challenges such as:. Most folks have a watch with a dead battery or a broken clock somewhere around the house. If not, then dollar stores usually sell cheap clocks or watches you can use for the task. Many people use book safes as a way to store valuables, and you can use a hollowed-out book as a hiding place for a puzzle or clue.
First, buy a book from a library or yard sale, preferably one with a hard cover. Then, hollow out the pages by using a pen-knife to cut a hole, or remove the last pages entirely. You will want to reserve the first few pages, at least, so you can hide the book safe. Glue the safe pages together. Then, place your clue inside the hollow, affix the first pages over the hole using double sided tape, and place the book in a drawer or on a crowded bookshelf.
This Wiki-How article provides a step-by-step guide to making a hollow book. Popsicle sticks are inexpensive, as are edible ink markers.

This clue depends on players figuring out quickly that they need to light a candle, since the wax will need to melt for some time before participants can retrieve the clue. To make your candle, melt down wax from old candles, or obtain an inexpensive candle-making kit. Then, place the clue, add the rest of the wax, allow the candle to harden, and set in the room. Or, place the object at the bottom of your jar, and only make a partial candle.
Paper may burn, so it is best to opt for physical items like lockets or figurines instead. While most locks require keys or number combinations, some locks open with word combinations.

First, hide your clue inside a vessel such as a small tupperware container to protect it from damage. Then, place the object at the bottom of a vase, and add the filler.

After all, you do not want players to snoop around in your personal information! First, double check that none of your players is fluent in the chosen language. Be sure to confiscate phones and smart devices so that participants cannot use translate features to quickly decipher the message.
Instead, players use a bilingual dictionary to interpret instructions. Translation takes time, so keep the message short. To further help players find the right words, provide clues such as earmarking dictionary pages, highlighting the words, or writing down the necessary page numbers as part of another clue. By using a shredder or pair of scissors, turn a letter into a jigsaw puzzle. First, gather shredded paper. If you own a home-office shredder, then empty the contents of the bin.
If not, then you can cut up paper by hand. Note that when using scissors, you do not need to cut paper as finely as a machine would. Next, write your letter, and then cut it into pieces. Be sure to distinguish the letter so it is easier to find, such as by using a slightly different color paper or cutting the edges with decorative craft scissors. Do not forget to supply players with tape, so that they can piece the letter together!
