Tips
  • If you try to open a Shortcut Door from the wrong side, you will be told it is "bolted from the other side".
  • The map will show locked doors with an "SC" on the side where the puzzle is accessible.
  • There are twenty Shortcut Door puzzles in total.
  • The solutions for the puzzles described below are fixed for each puzzle's text, even though which puzzle appears on which door number changes per playthrough.

Puzzle Solutions:

  • "What is the Least Amount of Turns?": The solution is 42. This puzzle may require brute force and careful path selection for efficiency.
  • "Which Number Should Go in the Bottom Shape?": The solution is 64. Consider the relationship between the outer shapes and internal lines, and perform a division.
  • "What Number Should Go in the Last Shape?": The solution is 67. The first digit corresponds to the number of lines in the outer black shape, and the second digit to the number of lines in the inner white shape (0 for a circle).
  • "I Walked on Floors of Germanium": The solution is 32. This number relates to the atomic number of Germanium, the number of adult human teeth, or the international phone code for Belgium.
  • "North, South, East + West": The solution is 60. This combines compass points with another concept, potentially a device with "30" on the bottom, where East equals 15.
  • "V + L = 135": The solution is 90. The "VL" represent angles in degrees, where V = 45.
  • "In My Left Hand...": The solution is 24. This is an algebra word problem where Total = 6 + Total/2 + Total/4.
  • "A Strange Man Walks Into a Café": The solution is 7. This geometry problem relates degrees on a circle to hours on a clock, where 210 degrees corresponds to 7 o'clock.
  • "Can You Find the Hidden Number?": The solution is 03. Look for an upright number in the right-middle portion of the drawing.
  • "Kis Rälisörävit...": The solution is 4. The puzzle relates to umlauts, not their count.
