General Tips Before Starting

1. Explore every corner — Items and clues can be hidden anywhere
2. Interact with everything — Click on objects even if they don't look important
3. Listen carefully — Sound effects often hint at nearby interactive elements
4. Check your inventory — Collected items can be combined or used on specific objects
5. Watch the timer — Don't panic, but stay aware of how much time you have left
6. Take mental notes — Numbers, symbols, and patterns you see early may be needed later

Walkthrough Overview

ENHYPEN ESCAPE takes place across several connected areas within a sci-fi laboratory. The general progression is:

1. Starting Area — Introduction and basic mechanics
2. Main Laboratory — Core puzzle section
3. Secondary Rooms — Branch areas with optional and required puzzles
4. Final Section — Endgame puzzles and escape sequence

Phase 1: Starting Area

Orientation

When you first enter the laboratory, take a moment to look around. The starting area serves as a tutorial zone where you learn basic mechanics:

• Movement: Use W, A, S, D to walk around
• Interaction: Left-click on highlighted objects to interact
• Flashlight: Press F to toggle your flashlight — essential in dark areas
• Menu: Press TAB to access the game menu and check your inventory

Key Items in the Starting Area

• Look for a note or document near the entrance — this provides context for the story and often contains a clue needed later
• Check desks, shelves, and any containers for collectible items
• Don't overlook wall-mounted items — switches, panels, and keypads are often on walls

Moving Forward

To proceed from the starting area, you'll typically need to solve an introductory puzzle. This is usually straightforward — look for a door mechanism, a simple lock, or an interactive panel. The solution is almost always visible within the same room.

Phase 2: Main Laboratory

First Impressions

The main laboratory is the largest area in the game. It's filled with scientific equipment, multiple workstations, and several locked doors or sealed sections.

Exploration Strategy

1. Circuit the entire room first — Walk the perimeter and note every interactive object before trying to solve anything
2. Identify locked elements — Note which doors, drawers, or panels require keys, codes, or items
3. Collect all available items — Pick up everything you can before attempting puzzles

Common Puzzle Types in the Laboratory

Pattern Matching

Several puzzles require you to match patterns — symbols on screens, light sequences, or arrangements of objects. When you see a pattern displayed somewhere, remember it or note it down. You'll likely need to reproduce that pattern on a different device.

Numerical Codes

Keypads and combination locks appear throughout the laboratory. The codes are always hidden somewhere in the environment:

• Check whiteboards and monitors for numbers
• Look at documents and notes for numerical sequences
• Some codes are derived from puzzle solutions elsewhere

Item Combination

Some items in your inventory can be combined or used on specific objects in the environment. If you have an item that doesn't seem to have an obvious use, try it on different interactive elements.

Navigating Dark Areas

The laboratory has sections with reduced lighting. Always use your flashlight (F key) in these areas. Some clues are only visible under flashlight illumination — walls and surfaces may have writings or markings that are invisible in darkness.

Phase 3: Secondary Rooms

Branch Exploration

The main laboratory connects to several secondary rooms. Some are required to progress, while others are optional but contain important items for better endings.

Tips for Secondary Rooms

• Don't skip optional rooms — They often contain items needed for the best ending
• Each room typically has one main puzzle — Solve it to get a key item or unlock the next area
• Time investment: Secondary rooms usually take 3-5 minutes each. If you're running low on time, prioritize rooms that seem to connect to the main exit path

Environmental Storytelling

Secondary rooms often contain story elements — documents, recordings, or visual clues that explain what happened in the laboratory. While not always necessary for puzzle-solving, these details enrich the experience and can influence which ending you receive.

Phase 4: Final Section

Preparing for the Endgame

Before entering the final section, make sure you've:

• Collected as many items as possible
• Solved all accessible puzzles in previous areas
• Noted any unsolved clues that might be relevant

The Final Puzzle Sequence

The ending section typically presents a series of connected puzzles that must be solved in sequence. Each solution builds on the previous one:

1. Use collected items from earlier areas
2. Apply knowledge from clues and notes found throughout the game
3. Make your final choices — key decisions here determine your ending

Time Management

The final section is where time pressure becomes most intense. If you've been efficient in earlier sections, you should have plenty of time. If you're running low:

• Focus on the critical path rather than exploring
• Don't second-guess yourself — commit to solutions quickly
• Remember that some endings are designed for tight time finishes

Advanced Strategies

Speedrun Tips

For players aiming for the fastest completion time:

• Memorize the layout from previous playthroughs
• Skip non-essential items and rooms
• Use Jungwon for his quick reflexes advantage
• Know the solutions before approaching each puzzle
• Optimal routing: Starting Area → Required Laboratory Puzzles → Critical Path Only → Exit

Completionist Approach

For players wanting to find everything:

• Use Jay or Sunghoon for thorough exploration
• Check every room, including optional areas
• Interact with every object, even decorative ones
• Read all documents and notes for full story context
• Try using items in unexpected places

Hidden Secrets

ENHYPEN ESCAPE contains several well-hidden easter eggs and secrets:

• Some are visual — look for unusual details in the environment
• Some are interactive — try unusual combinations of items
• Some are member-specific — certain secrets may only appear with certain characters

Troubleshooting Common Stuck Points

"I Can't Find the Code"

• Re-examine all screens, whiteboards, and documents in the current area
• Check if there's a puzzle that produces a code as its output
• Look at wall details and floor markings

"I Have Items but Don't Know Where to Use Them"

• Walk around with the item selected and look for highlight indicators
• Think about what the item physically represents — where would it logically be used?
• Some items are used in areas you've already visited — backtrack

"I'm Running Out of Time"

• Focus only on required puzzles for the main exit
• Skip optional rooms if you haven't entered them yet
• Don't restart — even a close-call escape gives you a valid ending
