Level 23 - Symbols and Shapes Puzzle

Level 23

Video Walkthrough

Objective

Open the vault by solving the symbols puzzle using dot counts, completing the shapes puzzle with dials, collecting tokens and knobs, connecting matching wires, and placing symbols on the center panel to unlock the dome.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Look on top of the safe to find a glass dome
  2. The glass dome has four symbols on either side, each displaying a different number of dots
  3. Note the number of dots on each symbol - this is important for the code
  4. Turn to the front of the safe and look at the top left
  5. Find a cylinder shape on the top left of the safe's front
  6. Tap the cylinder to open it and reveal a code entry panel
  7. The code entry panel has four symbol positions
  8. Set the symbols in order by their number of dots
  9. Arrange the symbols from least to most dots (or as indicated by the clue)
  10. When the symbols are set correctly in order, you can collect a Symbol token
  11. Collect the Symbol token from the code entry panel
  12. Turn to the left side of the safe
  13. Find two blue semicircles on the left side
  14. Turn both blue semicircles to the middle position
  15. When both semicircles are turned to the middle, a panel opens
  16. Collect a Token from the opened panel
  17. Look above the semicircles to find two small white panels
  18. Open the white panel on the right
  19. Collect a Knob from the right white panel
  20. In this area, you will see colored wires and sockets
  21. Connect the matching colored wires to their corresponding sockets
  22. Match each wire color to its matching socket color
  23. When all wires are correctly connected, a clue is revealed
  24. The clue shows four colored numbers arranged along an arrow
  25. Note these colored numbers as they will be needed later
  26. Turn to the right side of the safe
  27. Find three sets of dials on the right side
  28. Each set has a pair of dials that can be turned
  29. Look at the top left and right corners of the safe for shape clues
  30. Also check the back and side of the safe for additional shape clues
  31. Use the clues from the shapes marked on the corners and sides
  32. Set each pair of dials to show the correct shapes by the red marker in the center
  33. Turn the dials to match the shapes indicated by the clues
  34. When all three sets of dials are set correctly, you can collect another Symbol
  35. Collect the second Symbol from the shapes puzzle
  36. Turn to the back of the safe
  37. Look at the center panel on the back
  38. The center panel has left and right sides for placing symbols
  39. Place the first Symbol token on the left side of the center panel
  40. Place the second Symbol token on the right side of the center panel
  41. When both symbols are placed, the center panel opens
  42. This reveals additional puzzles inside
  43. You will see lines and letters in the corners
  44. Move the Token you collected earlier around the lines
  45. Place the token next to matching letters in the corners
  46. Match the token to the correct letter based on the clues
  47. When the token is correctly placed next to matching letters, the dome on top opens
  48. The glass dome on top of the safe opens when the puzzle is complete
  49. Collect the artifact to complete Level 23

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • For the symbols puzzle, count the dots on each symbol carefully
  • The symbols should be arranged in order by their number of dots
  • The cylinder code entry is on the top left of the front - don't miss it
  • For the blue semicircles, both must be turned to the middle, not just one
  • Make sure to collect both the Token and the Knob from the left side panels
  • When connecting wires, match colors exactly - each wire has a matching socket
  • The colored numbers clue is important - remember the colors and numbers
  • For the shapes puzzle, check all corners and sides for shape clues
  • The red marker in the center shows where the shapes should align
  • Each pair of dials must be set correctly - check all three sets
  • Both symbols must be placed on the center panel before it opens
  • The token placement requires matching letters - look carefully at the corners
  • Take your time with the dial settings - they must match the clues exactly

⚠️ Common Mistakes

  • Not counting the dots correctly on the symbols in the glass dome
  • Not arranging symbols in the correct order by dot count
  • Missing the cylinder code entry on the top left of the front
  • Not turning both blue semicircles to the middle
  • Only turning one semicircle instead of both
  • Not collecting the Token from the opened panel
  • Not opening the right white panel to get the Knob
  • Not connecting all the matching colored wires to their sockets
  • Missing the colored numbers clue after connecting wires
  • Not checking all corners and sides for shape clues
  • Setting dials incorrectly - not matching the shape clues
  • Not aligning shapes with the red marker in the center
  • Not placing both symbols on the center panel
  • Placing symbols in wrong positions on the center panel
  • Not moving the token to match the letters correctly
  • Rushing through the dial settings without checking clues

Additional Notes

Level 23 introduces dot-counting symbol puzzles, dial-based shape matching, wire connection mechanics, and multi-step token placement that requires careful observation, pattern recognition, and systematic problem solving.

What You'll Learn
