A Clued Awakening is an assignment and escape room in Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School set within a classroom filled with coordinate desks and hidden puzzles [src-0dc02cf791]. Players must decode desk coordinate clues, open a padlocked backpack, and track down three projector stills to match the school's founders [src-0dc02cf791]. Completing this assignment serves as mandatory story progression and unlocks the associated achievement [src-96265dfaea].

How to Complete

To successfully clear the classroom escape room, you will need to track down three projector stills by solving a series of logic puzzles involving desk coordinates, a combination safe, a phone number, and a locked chest [src-0dc02cf791].

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

• Unlock the Backpack: Head to the back of the classroom to find a backpack secured with a padlock, accompanied by the starting clue “Start at X2 Y2” [src-0dc02cf791]. Check the desks to find their XY coordinates:
  • Go to desk X2 Y2 to find the letter P and the clue X+1 [src-0dc02cf791].
  • Move to desk X3 Y2 to find the letter A and the clue Y+2 [src-0dc02cf791].
  • Proceed to desk X3 Y4 to find the letter T and the clue X-2 [src-0dc02cf791].
  • Finish at desk X1 Y4 to find the letter H [src-0dc02cf791].
• Open the Backpack: Input the combined letters PATH into the backpack's padlock to retrieve the first projector still [src-0dc02cf791].
• Crack the Safe: Solve the safe puzzle using the schedule clues provided around the room (8am coffee, 11am karaoke/music, 1pm jigsaw, 3pm workshop, and 9pm hide-and-seek/eye) [src-0dc02cf791].
• Call for the Second Still: Look through the peephole revealed by the open safe to spot the sign reading “In trouble: Call 772” [src-0dc02cf791]. Go to the phone located on the desk at the front of the classroom and dial 772 to rotate the center of the desk and reveal the second projector still [src-0dc02cf791].
• Retrieve the Third Still: Examine the poster featuring a key to take it, then use that key on the chest at the back of the classroom to acquire the third projector still [src-0dc02cf791].
• Final Solution: Place all three stills onto the projector to observe the names and faces [src-0dc02cf791]. Match these faces with the photo of the three founders located at the back of the room—each paired with a unique symbol—and input the correct names onto the device on the left to finish the assignment [src-0dc02cf791].

Collectibles

• Projector Still #1: Found inside the padlocked backpack requiring the code PATH [src-0dc02cf791].
• Projector Still #2: Revealed in the rotating center of the front desk after calling 772 [src-0dc02cf791].
• Projector Still #3: Stored inside the chest at the back of the room, unlocked using the key from the poster [src-0dc02cf791].

• A Clued Awakening Achievement: Unlocked automatically upon completing the assignment as part of the main story progression [src-96265dfaea].

• Go to desk X3 Y2 — letter A, clue 'Y+2'.
• Go to desk X3 Y4 — letter T, clue 'X-2'.
• Go to desk X1 Y4 — letter H.
