Hello everyone and welcome to the walkthrough for the eighth level of “Room Escape: Detective Phantom”. In the eighth level, our task is to stop the Black Spider from eliminating his next victim.
Our objectives are to “Halt the water flow” “Get the Card” and “Find the hidden message”. Tap on the “X” button to go back.

Let’s tap on the red box on the wall on the right, to take a closer look at it, and tap again to open it.

Let’s activate the lever. With that, you will close the two doors on the right.

Let’s tap on the blue barrel in the bottom left corner to take a closer look at it, and tap again to open it.

In the red box, you will find an “Equation paper”. Let’s tap on it to pick it up.
After that, tap on the arrow at the bottom to go back.

On one of the doors on the right, you will see some numbers. Let’s tap on this door to take a closer look at it.

Select the “Equation paper” from the inventory and place it over the numbers.
Here, we can see that the x, y, z, and o are connected with a certain number. Let’s memorize/write down the value and the color associated with each letter.
X = 9 = Orange
Y = 7 = Light Blue
Z = 1 = Yellow
O = 3 = Blue
Once you’re done, tap on the arrow at the bottom to go back.

Let’s tap on the machine to take a closer look at it, and tap again to start the interaction.

Let’s enter the values that we discovered previously. Above the keypad, we can see the order of the symbols, X -> O -> Z -> Y. So, let’s enter the values for these symbols.
X = 9 = Orange. So, first, let’s tap on the orange button.
O = 3 = Blue. Second, let’s tap on the blue button.
Z = 1 = Yellow. Third, let’s tap on the yellow button.
Y = 7 = Light Blue. Fourth, let’s tap on the Light Blue button.
Once you’re done, tap on the “Enter” button. With that, you will activate the machine.
Tap on the arrow at the bottom to go back.

Next, let’s tap on the dial on the right side of the machine to take a closer look at it.

Tap several times on the handle on the left to turn on the power.

Here, we have another puzzle. In the bottom left corner, we can see the lightning symbols, and it represents the power source. In the other three corners, we can see three red dots. Our task is to create the connection between the power source and the three dots. Once we do that, we will activate the red dot, and it will turn green. However, once we activate one of the dots, we can break the connection in order to activate the other dots. Lastly, we can create the connection by rotating the wires.
We will do this puzzle in several steps. Let’s begin.
Step 1
Tap three times on the first slot in the second row to rotate the wire.

Step 2
Tap three times on the second slot in the second row to rotate the wire.

Step 3

Step 5
Tap once on the fifth slot in the second row to rotate the wire.

Step 6
Tap twice on the fourth slot in the third row to rotate the wire.

Step 7
Tap twice on the third slot in the third row to rotate the wire.

Step 8
Tap once on the second slot in the fourth row to rotate the wire.

Tap three times on the second slot in the third row to rotate the wire, and you will connect the power source with the dot in the top right corner.

Step 10
Tap once on the fifth slot in the third row to rotate the wire.

Step 11
Lastly, tap three times on the fifth slot in the second row to rotate the wire. With that, you will solve this puzzle.

At the bottom of the box, we can see three symbols. We saw these symbols next to numbers that we memorized (on the coin, lunch tray, and on the fan). So, let’s set the scales to the values that we discovered. We will do this puzzle in three steps. Let’s begin.
Step 1
The first symbol is the “Star”. We saw the star symbol on the lunch tray, and next to it, the number 115. So, let’s set the red line to number 115. After that, tap on the green button on the right to confirm.

Step 2
Select the second puzzle piece in the first row, then tap on the third puzzle piece in the first row to swap their positions.

Step 3
Select the third puzzle piece in the first row, then tap on the third puzzle piece in the second row to swap their positions. With that, you will assemble the puzzle.

Let’s tap on the six pieces to turn them around. You will see the text “I’m going to kill him today”.
