Trophy Wall (Player 1, visible from the start)

Hint 1

Nothing to solve here — just read the number under each animal and tell Player 2.

Answer

Moose = 3, Bear = 1, Deer = 4, Elk = 2.

Refrigerator Magnets (Player 2)

Hint 1

Click the fridge magnets in order — smallest number to largest, using Player 1's trophy wall numbers.

Hint 2

Bear is 1, Elk is 2, Moose is 3, Deer is 4.

Answer

Click Bear, then Elk, then Moose, then Deer. The fridge opens to a note: "I will meet you at the trailhead at 3:00."

Grandfather Clock (Player 1)

Hint 1

The note from the fridge gives a time. Set the clock hands to it.

Answer

Set the clock to 3:00. The hour hand lands on the Waxing Gibbous moon (at the 3), the minute hand on the Full Moon (at the 12).

Light Switches (Player 2)

Hint 1

Player 1's clock hands point at two moon phases once it's set correctly. Turn on the switches with those two phases, leave the rest off.

Answer

Turn ON the Full Moon switch and the Waxing Gibbous switch. Leave Half Moon and Waning Gibbous off. A light reveals "FM 100.3."

Old Radio (Player 1)

Hint 1

Tune the radio to the frequency Player 2's light switches revealed.

Answer

Tune to 100.3 FM. The message: "Extreme weather alert. Set your north-facing power systems to 60%, south-facing to 20%, east-facing to 80%, and west-facing to 50%."

Circuit Breaker (Player 2)

Hint 1

Set the four gauges to the percentages from Player 1's radio message.

Answer

N = 60%, S = 20%, E = 80%, W = 50%. A panel lights up showing a circle, a star, a triangle, and a square, in that order.

Coffee Table Drawer (Player 1)

Hint 1

Set the four shape dials to what Player 2's circuit breaker revealed, in order.

Answer

Circle, Star, Triangle, Square. The drawer opens to a child's letter about visiting Grandma, with a drawing of a cow, a flower, and a chicken.

Recipe Card (Player 2, visible from the start)

Hint 1

Once Player 1 describes the letter's drawing (cow, flower, chicken, in that order), match each to an ingredient on the recipe: a cow gives milk, a flower sounds like flour, a chicken lays an egg.

Hint 2

Look at the quantities: 2 cups milk, 3 cups flour, 1 large egg.

Answer

In cow/flower/chicken order, the numbers are 2, 3, 1 — the final combination for both jewelry boxes.

Jewelry Box (both players, final puzzle)

Hint 1

Both mantle and counter jewelry boxes use the same 3-digit code, decoded from the recipe.

Answer

2 - 3 - 1. Each box opens to reveal a key — you've escaped!
