How to Get Past the First Floor
One of the toughest early challenges in Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School is the Clocktower escape room. Inside, colored stars hang from the ceiling that correspond to a lock on a massive rope spool. Enter the number of points for each star into the matching lock color to obtain the code 47658, which unlocks the spool.
How to Get Past the Second Floor
After securing the spool, attach the rope to the shields around the room in descending order of the four symbols in front of the ladder lock. Make sure each rope end matches the correct colored symbol. Looking through the telescope then reveals a symbol that matches an animal constellation, giving the code CAMEL to climb the ladder. Upstairs you must locate three gears and place them on the wall. Align the arrow pieces on the gears to receive the sequence Right, Down, Up, Left, Right, Down, which you input on the rotational lock behind you to open the next ladder.
How to Complete the Third Floor
The final floor introduces a planetarium puzzle where you match asteroid shapes to moon crater shapes, using the order Square, Hexagon, Circle, Triangle, Pentagon. After a professor’s pun, grab the scissors and descend. Return to the attic, follow the arrows up the boxes, and find the statue holding the clock time cipher. Match the clock hours and minutes to the sheet to get the code LUNAR, which provides the lantern needed for the last puzzle. Equip the lantern and locate the seven letters hidden in the purple moon cycles; entering them from new to full moon yields the code ECLIPSE. On the last floor, match each season’s sun height with the appropriate clock setting and direction: Fall (middle height, west), Spring (middle height, east), Summer (longest height, north‑west), Winter (lowest height, north). Finally, attach the device from the season lock box to the large static clock, remembering the clock face is flipped, and pull the sandbags in the order A, C, A, E, D, G, A. A buzzer will sound if the order is wrong. When the correct sequence is entered, a musical cue plays, and you simply walk to the large central bell and activate the rope to finish the introduction lesson.
