Unlock is a unique little puzzle game in which you must unlock the secrets of each stage to advance to the next. Some stages are easy, while others are maddening difficult. This game will tease your brain and test your patience and resolve.
Another game designed by Uminin of Flash Game Zone in Japan. And while it's definitely a smaller scale Flash game than his more recent offerings, this game offers a variety of puzzles to keep you interested, and to keep you guessing. He first created "normal" mode, and then added "another security mode" a month later. Together they form 12 challenges for you to unlock. Click.
This game reminded me a lot of Jonathan May's The Dark Room, though on a smaller scale. If you like games like this, then check out Jonathan's excellent puzzler, too.
I'm really stuck at the last level! aggrrrhhhhh!
what do the colours mean? any hints?
Ken - the last level of normal mode, or the add-on? If the latter then I know how you feel. I was unable to complete that one, as well.
Can't get passed lvl 3 with the keypad!
Grrr.... i can't get the maze level
You and me both Kipling.
OMG! i thought it was just me.. i can't get passed the level 3 keypad thing either.. help!
Okay, level 3 isn't too hard. Spoiler alert, though:
Type in the numbers you see on the screen. The keypad is not numbered, but here is its layout:
7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3
The tall key on the right is enter. Click it when you're done. Not too hard.
I'm still stuck on the first level.
i cant beat the level after the colors one
hasnt anyone beat normal mode yet?
my time is 2.4 minutes
the trick for the color one is to click the moving bar
how the heck do you get past the level after the colors? (the one with the lights that turn on and off with various buttons) unless i'm missing something major, i've determined that it's impossible.
Not impossible, just not very intuitive. =/
Not to forget it is stupid to have to restart the whole Security mode after you mess it up :\
I've completed the Normal mode, though i dont quite understand how i finished the level with the slide panels ;)
I've gotten to Level 7. I'm assuming the play button goes in the upper left and the double arrow goes at the junction, but im stumped when it comes to the -40, -20, etc.
i've just completed the normal mode....anyone have any clues to the first level in security mode....i've just about tried everthing.....please help me keep my sanity
Daniel: think degrees
I'm in the seventh level and I can't find the solution...
i'm stuck at level 7.. or -2 or whatever to. The weird calculating thing with the arrows and such. How do you do this ?
Ok nevermind, i just finished that level. The top line is triangle, -20, arrows. Try the rest randomly
what are you supposed to do on the 3rd security level
how do you beat the level with all the dots and u have to light them all up??? its the one after colors
could anyone give me a clue to how the sliding doors are supposed to work?
The one where there's two numbers and four arrows to press.
nevermind, i solved it
Thanks, Ken....My first thought was dgrees...i must have been doing something wrong...it did'nt work...i'll keep trying thanks again
whats with the last stage on hard mode?
the one thats all black and you cant see anything and its like defuzing a bomb
and more crazy colors. and if you screw up it blows up and you have to start all the stages over.
i tried twice and gave up
is anyone else this far?
Db - yeah, I got that far too, and gave up. There is a light switch on the left side about 1/3 down. That still didn't help me much. It's like a color combination safe of some sort. I haven't figured it out.
Random question... how did everyone remember the colors for the 4(?) level? (The one where you have to press the buttons in a certain order.) I can't write them fast enough.
Spoilers.
level 1:
just click the buttons to light up an X between the 4 outer lines.
level 2(1):
click the rectangle button on the right, the lights up the top will flash a sequence. replay this sequence using the buttons in the bottom left then click the rectangle button on the left.
level 3(2):
The display shows the unlock sequence. The buttons on the keypad are un numbered but are layed out the same as your keyboard. Just press the button that corresponds. Type in the code using this method then hit the rectangle button on the right.
level 4(3):
The maze is annoying. Use the arrow buttons in the middle to move the glowing dot. Don't hit a wall or you will start again.
Yes it took me a few goes, timing is important
level 5(4):
click the button in the bottom right to start the sequence. keep clicking the sliding panel to restart the sequence.
If the slider reaches the end of its travel, the sequence will reset and you will have to start again.
In between clicks of the sliding bar, click the colours in the order they appear to finish the level.
Level 6(5):
each button on the outside ring creates a connection between itself and the center dot and illuminates the dots in between. If more than 1 outside dot is on the same "circuit" it will cancel out any common dots between them.
the best way to solve this puzzle is with trial and error... it took me 3 or 4 minutes to light up all the inside dots.
Click the center dot when it starts flashing.
level 7(6):
The path represents a calculation. placing the symbols along the path calculates the formula.
the bent arrow represents a choice so it goes at the intersection.
row 1 is: Play, -20, V arrow.
row 2 is: 1/2, -20
row 3 is: -40, x2
level 8(7):
I have no idea.....
spoiler for level 8(7)
the arrows represent the doors on each of the 3 layers. the numbers, which change each time you've opened 3 doors, are the number of doors you have to move on the third layer to access the unlock button. but you have to include the door you just opened in you math. so if the down number is 4 and the right number is 5, you start counting 1 on the door you just opened, then go down 4 and over 5. then press the botton once the door is open.
alright. ive tried the entire game without help but now im stumped. the only one i cant get is the last level on the hard mode with the bomb. im thining mabey something about the colors in the bottom left and which swiches they touch. but im not sure.
PS: this game is awsome. ive already done the dark room and archapelago. anyone know some others like this?
Robi - you and me both. The last puzzle is where I am stuck, too. So, if you figure it out, post a hint! =)
i figured out the last level! (the bomb one). first turn on the light so its easier to see. the swich is 1/3 of the way down on the left. then start at the white button in the bottom left but dont press it yet. follow the line coming from it to the first swich u come acroos. click it so it turns white. follow the line to the next swich and make it white also..if it doesnt turn white go back to the first swich and take a differant path. do this untill you come to the button that says defuse or something and has 2 blanck dots (its in the middle, cant miss it) once you have a straight path from the white button to the difuse button click the first white button in the lower left that i said not to click earlier.if you did it right one of the dots on the diffuse button should light up, if you did it wrong you have to start the whole security system over again. once you light up the first button reapet the proccess for the purple one. thats all you need to do if that even made any sense. =)
Email me if you know but I am on the one with the dials. I think it has something to do with degrees. Do each of the hash marks represent 5 degrees and the knobs start at 0??
Patrick - you are correct. Additionally, one direction is positive, the other negative. Recall from your geometry lessons.
How do you beat the 3rd Level on hard? I'm so confused
the 3rd level took me a while to figure out. each of the pieces on the bottom go on the black board. after you put the in the right place the pipes in the top right go on the board. the 2 ball pieces on the bottom can be rotated in the box with the 2 arrows.
1. the box on the very bottom right(with none above it) goes in the very top right of the blanck space.
2. the one to its left goes in the bottom center of the blanck space
3. the ball piece next to that goes in the very top left but first put it in the rotate box and hit the left arrow
4. the piece to the left of that wich should be a coner looking piece goes in the center top.
5. the piece next to that goes in the center right.
6. the round piece above it you put in the rotate box and hit the right arrow then put it in the bottom left.
7. the piece to the right goes above it in the left center place
8. the pice to its right goes in the center.
9. and the last piece goes in the last place.
now put the pieces in the slots they fit in.
the backwards C looking one(verry top right) goes on the outside of the large square. all the pieces should either conect 2 white lines or one white line and the open part of a circle
are there any more games like this one
I'm stuck on the first level of normal mode. any help?
I'm on Level 6 of Normal Mode...
I can't light all the dots? There are two dots that are always the opposite of each other. If dot A is on, dot B is off, and vice versa. The only way they're the same is if they're off! I dont see how I can get rid of this...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v689/TornadoTK/unlock6wtf.jpg
TornadoTK - while it may seem impossible, I can say first-hand that it is indeed solvable. You will notice that most of the dots change their state by two (2) different buttons. Just keep trying and you will figure it out. =)
level 2 hard mode? what are we supposed to do?
O i really need some help on level one of hard mode. I have tried everything. I really need some help. If anyone knows how to beat this plz let me kno
help with doors........... the ones
X X
xx xx
xx xx
what the heck?
I CANT LIGHT UP THE DOTS ON LEVEL 6!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!! Be specific, not any of that "trial and error" crud or that "its not impossible you just need to try"...we need a walkthrough please...
i figured it out the level with the doors.
there r 3 lvls then the bottom lvl has 24 doors 12 each side for example
x = a door
lvl 1 is
xx
lvl 2 is
xx xx
xx xx
lvl 3
xx xx xx xx
xx xx xx Xx
^
xx xx xx xx
xx xx xx xx
if u had somethat said down 2 left 7 it would be the capital letter above
to get there you would open the left side
then the top right door then bottom left door
if you are still confused ill try to explain it better
Lvl 6, simple walkthrough:
Imagine the buttons on the outside are labeled 1 through 12, with #1 being the button to the left of the top right corner, and the numbers going around clockwise. Press them in this order:
1 12 10 7 6 8 9
Then press the center button.
(Note: this is not the only way to do it, but it is very efficient)
Lvl 8, simple walkthrough:
Imagine the buttons are labeled
1 2
3 4
Imagine the numbers are labeled
A B
(A is the "down" number, B is the "over" number)
Behind the doors is a grid of spaces, which looks like:
O O O O O O O O
O O O O O O O O
O O O O O O O O
O O O O O O O O
A and B are coordinates for the key. A is how far down it is, B is how far from the left. so is A is 3 and B is 7, the key will be at the X:
O O O O O O O O
O O O O O O O O
O O O O O O X O
O O O O O O O O
You press the buttons 3 times. First, decide which half it's in, left or right; for the left half, press button 1, for the right, press button 2.
1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2
1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2
1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2
1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2
Once you've chosen which half, your grid is reduced to just that. Then, press a button according to which quarter of the half the key is in:
1 1 2 2
1 1 2 2
3 3 4 4
3 3 4 4
Finally, you're left with a small square. Press a button according to which corner of THAT the key is in.
1 2
3 4
And hit the hidden button before the doors close!
Oh, and a detailed walkthrough for the "another security mode" levels:
LVL 1:
Imagine the dials are labelled:
A B
C D
E
Click A 3 times, B 2 times, C 23 times, D 19 times, and E 7 times. Then hit the lower-right button.
LVL 2:
Press the large rectangular button to start the arrows moving. Imagine that the grid the arrows are moving on is labeled:
2
1
-2 -1 0 1 2
-1
-2
When you press the rectangular button again, the horizontal arrow stops moving, and when you press it a third time, the vertical arrow stops moving. Stop them at these coordinates in any order:
H V
-1 1
1 1.5
0 0
1 0
-1.5 -1
LVL 3:
Imagine the tiles are labeled:
A B C D
E F G H I
1. Place A in the box with the arrows under it, and hit the arrow facing right once. Place A in the lower-left corner on the large box.
2. Place B above A (left center).
3. Place C in the center of the large box.
4. Place D in the lower-right corner of the large box.
5. Place E directly above D (center right).
6. Place F directly above C (top center).
7. Place G in the small box with the arrows, and hit the arrow facing left once. Plage G in the upper-left corner of the large box.
8. Place H directly below C (bottom center).
9. Place I in the top right corner of the large box, which should fill the box.
10. Take the long diagonal pipe (shaped like \) and connect the two corners (tiles G and D) with it.
11. Take the short diagonal pipe (shaped like / with the top bent) and connect the lower-left corner with the center-right corner (tiles A and E)
12. Take the tiny bent pipe (shaped like r) and connect the center tile with the upper right tile (tiles C and I).
13. Take the last remaining pipe (shaped like ]) and connect the upper-right tile with the center-right tile (tiles I and E). This leaves the pipe out of the main box.
LVL 4:
Imagine the switches are labeled:
1 2
4
3 5
6
7
Roughly.
1. Hit switches 1, 3, and 5 so they are all white, then hit the white button.
2. Hit switch 7 and make sure both switch 7 and switch 4 are purple, then hit the purple button.
i'm stuck on the one with the dials. Can someone help me......
Solved everything. Man, you guys really spent TOO MUCH time trying to solve these. I've been playing for 45 mins and solved every stage. Well, the last one on the hard mode did take 10 mins (i had to go 3 times through the whole hard level, but it was worth it - its actually just a matter of permutations and fuzzy logic :) ).
Security Level 3.... Pipes.
I make it all beautifully, and put in all the pipes, apart from the final one (]).
I'm trying to put it (as backed up by Arca's wonderful walkthrough) connecting the top-centre and centre-centre tiles (that is, going through the top-right and centre-right tiles) but it won't stick.
Everything else fits, so I'm a little confused.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Liz
lol 20mins it took me, the door one was hardest, good game though
Numpad, I can agrees with you no more, the door was hard but I beat the game by only 13min and 43sec. (I used a stop_watch)
ok i managed to do pretty well in the normal mode but now im on security mode and stuck on level 2... embarassing yes i know.
I'm confused, what exactly am I supposed to be doing?
Nice game
My time - 12:14:457
Liz that pipe connects top right and center right.lol
i ave completed it wid ease
Walkthrough
level 1 normal
follow the order of numbers (1-5)
102
050
304
level 2 normal
click the rectangle furthest to the right then copy the sequence into the button pad below then click the other rectangle if u get it wrong you can try again
level 3 normal
copy the numbers from the top into the buttons, its like a calculater, like this:
789
456
123
when done click the big button
level 4 normal
just use the arrows on the screen to guide the little green ball to the end
level 5 normal
click the rectangle button thats on the right. you're supposed to copy the color sequence. since it goes so fast itll b hard to copy so hit the rectangle thing that shows you the colors and it will start again with the same colors

this one is tricky:
say the buttons are labled:
..3...4
.2.....5
1.......6
12......7
.11....8
..10..9
click: 3,12,10,9,10,5,3,1,12,8,6,2,3,8,10,11,12,7 then click the middle

if it says 2down 5across it would be here:
00000000
0000x000
00000000
00000000
you should figure it out
if you get it right click the button thats in the doors because it will close

.....................-1.-2.0.1.2
..........................-1
..........................-2
click the rectangular button to start the triangles. when u click the rectangular button again and the triangle going horizantal will stop. click again for the third time to stop the other one.
you have to stop the triangles at these coordinates:
Hori: Vert:
.0.5...-1
-1......1
.1......1.5
.0......0
.1......0
-1.5...-1
Level 3:
say the tiles are:
a b c d
e f g h i
spin a once two the right once and put bottom left
then spin g to the left once and put top left
the others go here:
g f i
b c e
a h d
fit the pipes in ( the one that goes like this ] goes at the side sticking out of the box)
level 4:
look under the clock there is a switch to the very left it turns on the light click it.
..........1...2
.....3
..4.....5
..rwbgpy...6.7
click 1, 4, 5, 7, then the purple button then the white button. YOU ARE DONE!
I DID IT!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU ALL THAT HELPED!
Solved the one with the dots when i realized that only the dots with a direct line to the central one need to be lit. this is indeed possible :)
Normal mode done in 17 minutes, 33 seconds.
Security mode done in 8 minutes, 49 seconds. Thanks for the spoilers joe.
i cant do last one on security
I still don't get the dials!!! The numbers are 45, -15, 105, 30, and -75. I don't get how to do it.
I can't get past the stupid idiot maze level!!
HELP!
I have an easier Solution for level 6 normal:
Think the buttons are numbered like this:
--C---D--
-B-----E-
A-------F
---------
---------
M-------G
-L-----H-
--K---I--
Click: A,B,C,E,F,G,I,K,L,M and then press in the middle
i think you can let out Numbers F and G but i'm not sure
Geez, lvl 4 i think its 4 with the maze, that level is hard, just because my cursor keeps getting jammed in one spot, and i cant push the buttons in time. i am going to get a new one on saturday.
i luv this game
cheat for color memorizing in normal mode:
after you push the "view" button keep clicking the thing that moves so that you can see the colors before it is done showing the colors, write the colors down and keep doing this until you have all of the colors written down
How do you get past level one on hard!?!?!!!
normal mode: 3 minutes 23 seconds
hard mode: 2 minutes 17 seconds
man i am soooo good
for the level with the dials. its all about degrees. the dial you start off at is 0 degrees and ever noych represents 15 degrees. 90 degress is at the top.
how do u beat the combo lock (lv.1)?
i cant get past level 8 HELP!!!
this is hard...
if you want a good spoiler, click below:
level 1: Just click the buttons to light up an X between the 4 outer lines. Then click the middle button.
level 2(1): Click the rectangle button on the right, the lights up the top will flash a sequence. replay this sequence using the buttons in the bottom left then click the rectangle button on the left.
level 3(2): The display shows the unlock sequence. The buttons on the keypad are un-numbered but are laid out as follows:
7 8 9
4 5 6
1 2 3
Just press the button that corresponds. Type in the code using this method then hit the rectangle button on the right.
level 4(3): The maze is annoying. Use the arrow buttons in the middle to move the glowing dot. Don't hit a wall or you will start again. It took me a few goes. Timing is important.
level 5(4): Click the button in the bottom right to start the sequence. keep clicking the sliding panel to restart the sequence. If the slider reaches the end of its travel, the sequence will reset and you will have to start again. In between clicks of the sliding bar, click the colors in the order they appear to finish the level.
Level 6(5): Each button on the outside ring creates a connection between itself and the center dot and illuminates the dots in between. If more than 1 outside dot is on the same "circuit" it will cancel out any common dots between them.
The best way to solve this puzzle is with trial and error... it took me 3 or 4 minutes to light up all the inside dots. Click the center dot when it starts flashing.
level 7(6): The path represents a calculation. Placing the symbols along the path calculates the formula. the bent arrow represents a choice so it goes at the intersection. row 1 is: Play, -20, V arrow. row 2 is: 1/2, -20 row 3 is: -40, x2
level 8(7): The arrows represent the doors on each of the 3 layers. the numbers, which change each time you've opened 3 doors, are the number of doors you have to move on the third layer to access the unlock button. but you have to include the door you just opened in you math. so if the down number is 4 and the right number is 5, you start counting 1 on the door you just opened, then go down 4 and over 5. then press the button once the door is open.
it took me a long time to finish, even with spoilers I got from other people.
this game is so totally hard! grrrr it makes me like soooooo angry can someone help!
on level 7 what is the starting number and which way does it go up?
just realized it is level 6 im stuck on not level 7. what is the starting button and which direction do you go in?
Woot!! 3:44:787!
I was ripping my hair out in frustration over level 6's dots, until I read Arca's walkthrough and found out that only the dots in the middle two circles had to be lit up.
And I am still frustrated, because now I am wondering how exactly I was supposed to figure that out? What clue was there to indicate that that I missed that indicated that only certain of the lights had to be lit?
I don't get level seven on normal!! Everybody keeps saying rows, I try to do it right, but it doesn't make sense!! Nothing works at all!!! Nothing's in order! What does rows mean!?
It took me 32 minutes 36 seconds to finish O YEA:P
HELP!!! Marglar do not understand Marglar's Marglar. Marglar am really confuzed. All nouns on Marglar mean Marglar.. Can any Marglar help Marglar?
tranlsation:
HELP!! I do not understand Earth's Language. I am really confuzed. All nouns on Marglar mean Marglar.. Can any body help me?
Level seven (the rows)
Yhe first 2 boxs contain four inside them, and each one of those contains 4 more, so there are 16 on each side, 32 all together, or in other ways of thinking it's a grid of 4 down and 8 across.
The numbers correspond to how many down and how many across, ex. (down4 right6).
down1 is first across row, down2 is second, etc., same concept with across, if across is 4 or less, you would stick to the left side of the grid, 5 or more right side.
The arrows open up the corresponding doors, so down4 across6, you would stick to the right side (across being over 5) and all the way to the bottom, so you would press either right arrow, then bottom left, then bottom right and press the button.
Down 2 across 3 would be either left arrow, upper right arrow, lower left arrow.
Any questions, will respond further.
Help!
I do not understand level 2 on hard mode!
Grrrrr I just cant figure it out!
liz, it goes just outside of the box on the outside, not the inside like everything else.
