The "Explore the Chamber" Puzzle

[@landonjongeward679]

You should do a video about building an escape room, I’ve been curious about escape room puzzle design for a while, you’re the smartest puzzle designer I know of

Does anyone know the new 33x33 rubiks cube just made?it is fabulous

[@Robertlavigne1]

You're alive!! I was worried something happened to you. Glad to see you're back at it!! I highly recommend anyone curious about puzzle hunts go do the full Dash-9 puzzle hunt. It was my first attempt at a puzzle hunt and it took me several nights to get through but it was so much fun. Quite challenging but still doable with a lot of patience for a novice. The eureka moment to the second part of this puzzle blew my mind, and I hollered out loud with excitement when I solved it. I strongly encourage anyone into this stuff to go try it on your own before FLEB shows it off next week, because it is totally worth struggling with on your own to get the payoff.

Hey Fleb, what is your stance on Portal? Will you ever possibly play it or any other puzzle video games?

[@FLEBpuzzles]

Portal is fantastic! I'm starting a series on puzzle games. The main idea is to talk about the big ideas behind a number of fantastic puzzle games. I'm hoping the first episode will be a week or two from now. Stay tuned!

[@fatsasquatch4183]

I'll be sure to watch it!

[@elliotburing87]

Woot woot... can’t wait!

[@cosmicjenny4508]

+FLEB Check out an any% (Inbounds) run of Portal. It's more mind-blowing than the intended solutions.

[@NDPuzzles]

That's great. Make sure to also check out "Braid" which is another great puzzle game!

[@linkinprk1981]

I went about mapping out all of the grids, making a sort of cyryptogram numbering the blanks, then solving for each word with common letters (Bannister clue was the easiest to start with), giving me the final letters to spell out asterisk, although I think I might have mislabeled one of my unknowns because the clue 4 ended up spelling separate as sepirate, but it still led me to the final word to arrange the pieces in their final form. I have no idea if the speed I did this even close to being good, but it was a great exercise and makes me feel like I still have some brains cells left chugging along...

[@sungahn7386]

It's been so long! But glad you're back with an awesome puzzle!!

[@FLEBpuzzles]

Thanks! Good to see you Sung Ahn!

[@reddcube]

Wish this video was 4K. just so I could read the pages without downloading the PDF.

[@GMen_3D]

I'm glad I was able to find the final answer before watching the whole video. But I continued to work thinking there was another step using the sample grid considering there are stars in it. Thanks for sharing it!

[@thehaigu321]

Hope yall are doing well during the quatraine

It has been a while, Puzzle Master.

[@FLEBpuzzles]

KZbin can be really stressful. It was taking over my thoughts, and I needed a break.

[@thechocolatefactory]

yaaaay welcome back!

[@CypherHouse]

FLEB! Very happy to see videos coming from you more often! This puzzle was a lot of fun and a great solve. Just one question: I had believed the answer was "stars alignED", since the rule we have been working with is to ignore the first and last half of each symbol pair. This would mean our answer, being 7 pairs of symbols, should be 12 letters long much like the earlier sets of 5 symbol pairs corresponded to 8 letter answers. Am I misunderstanding?

[@kevinmartin7760]

I think I missed something in forming the asterisk. The first puzzle page produced 7 pairs of symbols but forming the asterisk in the correct order only required 6 pairs. I couldn't make out the pairs that you wrote onto the first puzzle page. Did you just ignore the pairing that could not be used with the other 6? Also, in the initial phase with the shape matching I would have done the matching first to see what letters I already had for the words. As presented I just couldn't get the word IMPOSTER out of my brain once it stuck there, despite it being a poor fit for the clue!

[@blakehocking1676]

I'm so excited for next week now!

[@FLEBpuzzles]

It's a really good puzzle! It should be a lot of fun!

[@blakehocking1676]

FLEB Can't wait!

[@OneDollarWilliam]

Was anyone else thrown by the starbattle from thinking that the symbols affected that part of the puzzle? I spent a solid minute thinking "This is impossible! All of the symbols except the first one match on the diagonal!"

[@Kelis-melissa]

Oh yay new video 👏🏽👏🏽

[@Faithra]

Hi Fleb! Have you considered a patreon to fund further puzzle videos and so that we can contribute?

[@FLEBpuzzles]

I've been thinking about it, but I'd like to also make it a puzzle of the month club. Maybe in January?

[@anxietyxi]

wow this puzzle is very cool

[@GraniteValleyDave]

I couldn't figure out the 2nd starbattle puzzle... I think I'm not understanding something about the puzzle. I got the first four impossible places you got but couldn't move on from there.

[@FLEBpuzzles]

Is this in this video, or the "Advanced Starbattle" video?

[@GraniteValleyDave]

In this video sorry. The puzzle at the bottom of the page. :)

[@Iscannon]

eyyyy there you are

[@FLEBpuzzles]

Good to see you! It's been a while!

[@parallelalpha]

fleb have you ever done a triangular rubiks cube? its the only rubiks puzzle i can solve :D

[@FLEBpuzzles]

I actually haven't! I own one, but haven't tried it yet!

[@parallelalpha]

its super easy once u get the hang of it :D

[@vexrav]

While I like the Jigsaw puzzle mechanic I think that it is somewhat extraneous. Wouldn't a competitive team notice that each symbol is actually a combination of two symbols, decipher the code, and ignore the jigsaw portion?
