Detective – Escape Room Games | Chapter 1: Bitter Memories

Hello everyone and welcome to the walkthrough for Chapter 1 of the “Detective: Escape Room Games”. At the start of the game, our character, the Detective, remembers the case that he began investigating one year ago. The criminal, known as the “Collector”, just eliminated his first victim, and the police force was unable to stop him.

During the investigation, our character lost his partner, Hank Orwell, who was eliminated by the Collector. I guess that Hank got too close to discovering “Collector’s” identity, so he decided to eliminate him.

Naturally, our character vowed that he would catch and imprison the collector. However, the “Collector” decided to lay low, and there wasn’t even a hint of his activities for months.

001 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 1 11zon

With all that said, our character remembered the events that transpired one year ago, when he lost his partner.

The police officers surrounded a building and waited for our character. When he arrived, they informed him that Orwell’s phone signal was traced to this building, but no one went in to investigate (that’s very strange). The police officer suggested that our character should go in alone, and investigate. So, our character should go in, without backup, and investigate the potential crime scene… That’s a very, very strange suggestion, but let’s move on.

With that said, our character decided to go into the building and investigate.

053 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 13 11zon

In this picture, we can see four horsemen of the apocalypse. Looking from left to right, we have,

The first horseman = Plague. Previously, we saw a picture titled “Plague of Ashdod” and in this picture, we saw number 8. So, number 8 is the first number.

The second horseman = War. Previously, we saw a picture titled “The Face of War” and in this picture, we saw number 2. So, number 2 is the second number.

The third horseman = Famine. Previously, we saw a picture titled “Great Famine” and in this picture we saw number 7. So, number 7 is the third number.

The fourth horseman = Death. Previously, we saw a picture titled “The Death of Seneca” and in this picture, we saw number 5. So, number 5 is the fourth number.

When we put all numbers together, we will get “8275”. Memorize/write down this number, because we will need it for the next puzzle. Once you’re done, tap on the arrow in the lower-left corner of the screen to go back.

Once that’s done, tap on the small box to start the interaction.

061 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 21 11zon

Our next task is to assemble two words by using the letters on the board. Before we do that, we should take a look at the elements (squares) below the grid. There are two rows, and we have five elements per row.

Step 1

Let’s take a look at the first element in the first row. You will notice two lines, a line on the right, and a line at the bottom. If you look at the letter “W” you will notice that it has a red line on the right and a red line at the bottom. So, the lines on the letter “W” match the lines of the first element in the first row. To simplify it, the lines on the elements at the bottom represent the borders of letters in the grid, but only the bordering letters count.

So, the first letter is “W”. Tap on it.

062 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 22 11zon

Step 2

Let’s take a look at the second element in the first row. We can see a line on all four sides. So, we are looking for a letter that is bordering other letters on all four sides. If you take a look at the grid, you will notice that the letter “H” is the only letter that matches this description.

So, the second letter is “H”. Tap on it.

063 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 23 11zon

So, the third letter is “I”. Tap on it.

064 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 24 11zon

Step 4

Let’s take a look at the fourth element in the first row. We can see a line on the left, a line on the right, and the line at the top. If you take a look at the grid, you will notice that the letter “T” is the only letter that matches this description (it borders the letter “H” at the top, the letter “V” on the left, and the letter “N” on the right bottom).

So, the fourth letter is “T”. Tap on it.

065 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 25 11zon

Step 5

Let’s take a look at the fifth element in the first row. We can see a line on the left, the line at the bottom, and the line at the top. If you take a look at the grid, you will notice that the letter “E” is the only letter that matches this description (it borders the letter “I” at the top, the letter “H” on the left, and the letter “N” at the bottom).

So, the fifth letter is “E”. Tap on it. With that, you will assemble the word “WHITE”, the grid will flash green, and the letters will reset.

066 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 26 11zon

Let’s assemble the second word.

Step 1

Let’s take a look at the first element in the second row. We can see a line on the right, the line at the top, and the line at the bottom. If you take a look at the grid, you will notice that the letter “R” is the only letter that matches this description (it borders the letter “H” on the right, the letter “W” at the top, and the letter “V” at the bottom).

So, the first letter is “R”. Tap on it.

067 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 27 11zon

Step 2

Let’s take a look at the second element in the second row. We can see a line on the right, a line on the left, and the line at the bottom. If you take a look at the grid, you will notice that the letter “A” is the only letter that matches this description (it borders the letter “I” on the right, the letter “W” on the left, and the letter “H” at the bottom).

So, the second letter is “A”. Tap on it.

068 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 28 11zon

Step 3

Let’s take a look at the third element in the second row. We can see a line on the right and a line at the top. If you take a look at the grid, you will notice that the letter “V” is the only letter that matches this description (it borders the letter “T” on the right, the letter, and the letter “R” at the top).

So, the third letter is “V”. Tap on it.

069 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 29 11zon

Step 4

Let’s take a look at the fourth element in the second row. We can see a line on the left, the line at the bottom, and the line at the top. If you take a look at the grid, you will notice that the letter “E” is the only letter that matches this description (it borders the letter “H” on the left, the letter “I” at the top, and the letter “N” at the bottom).

So, the fourth letter is “E”. Tap on it.

070 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 30 11zon

So, the fifth letter is “N”. Tap on it. With that, you will assemble the word “RAVEN”, the grid will flash green, and the box will open.

So, here we assembled the words “White Raven”. Memorize/write down these words because we will need them for one of the next puzzles.

071 detecvtive escape room games chapter 1 31 11zon

You will see the “Black Rose” instead of “You Lose”. Memorize/write down this information.

Our character will say that the “Collector” left similar tickets on the bodies of his previous victims. So, our character will take a photo of the lottery scratcher and it will be filed as evidence.

Tap on the button in the bottom left corner to go back.

Also, in order to open the wooden box, we need to find the correct order for the four symbols, and one of the symbols is the white raven. With all that said, we can conclude that the first symbol is the “White Raven”.

The hint for the rest of the symbols can be found in the message.

“Little Princess” – Little Princess is the second symbol.
