Verification: Human verified
The bookstore is a key location featured in Chapter 1 of Escape Academy 2 during the "Better Book It!" section [src-0dc02cf791]. Situated on the first floor beyond the courtyard, players must visit this shop to acquire three mandatory books required for progression [src-0dc02cf791]. Each book is safely encased behind glass and guarded by a unique puzzle that must be solved before purchase [src-0dc02cf791].
Location and Access
To find the bookstore, consult your map and head to the first floor [src-0dc02cf791]. Open the door leading out to the courtyard, cross through it, and you will locate the bookshop directly ahead [src-0dc02cf791].
How to Complete
Inside the shop, you will find that all three required books are secured behind glass displays [src-0dc02cf791]. To collect them, you must solve the individual puzzle protecting each book and then pay the purchase price of $3 per book [src-0dc02cf791].
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
- Ciphers from B to A Puzzle: Examine the code written on the book, which reads FVSFLB [src-0dc02cf791]. Because the cipher operates from B to A, shift each letter backward down the alphabet by one [src-0dc02cf791]. This reveals the word EUREKA [src-0dc02cf791]. Once solved, pay the $3 fee to collect the book [src-0dc02cf791].
- Hiding and Seeking Puzzle: Inspect the front cover of the book and observe the shapes that each illustrated eye is looking at [src-0dc02cf791]. Match the eye colors to the corresponding colors on the lock and input the correct symbols [src-0dc02cf791]:
- Green: Square [src-0dc02cf791]
- Brown: Diamond [src-0dc02cf791]
- Blue: Triangle [src-0dc02cf791]
- Yellow: Circle [src-0dc02cf791]
- After entering the correct combination, pay $3 to claim the book [src-0dc02cf791].
Tips
- Make sure you have accumulated enough currency before heading to the bookstore, as each of the three books costs $3 [src-0dc02cf791].
- Double-check your letter shifts and eye-to-color symbol pairings carefully when interacting with the glass display locks to avoid input errors.
