Tricky Doors Walkthrough: Full Guide to Every Level

Tricky Doors Walkthrough is a point-and-click escape room game from FIVE-BN Games where you search rooms for hidden items, combine them into tools, and solve environment-based puzzles to open a final door. This walkthrough covers the tools you need, how each puzzle type actually works, and where most players get stuck, without spoiling every single click for levels you’d rather solve yourself.

If you landed here because a specific level has you stuck, skip to the puzzle categories below. Most sticking points repeat across the game once you know what to look for.

What Tricky Doors Walkthrough Actually Asks You to Do

Each episode drops you into a themed location, a museum, a haunted castle, a drifting tanker, a Mayan pyramid, and gives you one goal: find the way out. There’s no timer and no fail state, so you can poke around every corner without pressure.

My take: the thing most guides skip is that Tricky Doors reuses a handful of mechanical “families” over and over. Once you’ve solved one lock-picking mini-game or one ingredient-mixing recipe, you’ll recognize the pattern three episodes later even if the skin is different. That’s the real shortcut, not memorizing 25 separate walkthroughs.

The game currently runs 25 released episodes, from Level 1 (Magic World) through Level 25 (Other World), with four more confirmed on the way: Snowy Cabin, Misty Haven, Prison Escape, and Underground City. It’s available free on Google Play, the App Store, Steam, and Nintendo Switch, with cross-platform releases on PC and Mac as well.

The Puzzle Types You’ll Face in Every Episode

Instead of repeating the same explanation under every level, here’s what each recurring mechanic actually involves and how to approach it without a screenshot for every step.

Hidden object collection. Tools and ingredients are tucked into drawers, cracks, and background clutter. Tap everything that looks slightly out of place before assuming an item is missing. Nothing in Tricky Doors is decorative filler.

Item crafting. You’ll frequently combine two or three collected pieces (a handle plus a blade, a stem plus a bottle) to make a new tool. If an object in your inventory looks incomplete, that’s usually your cue to pair it with something else you’re carrying.

Sequence and code puzzles. Owl statues, radio dials, cassette shelves, and knob mechanisms all hide a code somewhere in the environment. Signs, paintings, and drawings you glance past on your first pass are almost always the answer key, so re-examine background art before guessing at a sequence.

Lock picking and mechanical puzzles. These are memory-based: lift or rotate the correct pins or dials in order, watch which ones hold, and repeat if you get it wrong. There’s no penalty for failed attempts, so treat trial runs as free information.

Environmental logic puzzles. Counting weapons on display, arranging cassettes by historical date, or matching symbols to backgrounds all reward slowing down and reading the clue text on-screen rather than clicking randomly.

Getting Started: Level 1, Magic World

Since Level 1 is where nearly every new player starts, it’s worth walking through the shape of it without spoiling every micro-step. You begin in a treehouse room and need four keys to open a trapdoor in the floor. Collecting the keys also nets you a straw doll, a candle, a ritual knife, and a potion recipe, all of which matter later.

Outside, the forest section asks you to craft an axe, gather berries and mushrooms, and solve an owl-eye color sequence to unlock a hidden crystal. From there, the level alternates between the treehouse and forest as you brew a shrinking potion, enter a miniature world inside a bottle, and eventually write your way out using magic ink. It’s the longest onboarding puzzle in the game, and if you can clear it without a guide, most later levels will feel familiar rather than harder.

Later Levels Get More Mechanical, Not Just Bigger

By the time you reach Level 6 (Museum), the game shifts from crafting-heavy puzzles toward multi-room mechanical challenges: lock picking, cannon operation, radio tuning, and statue assembly all show up in a single episode. The pattern holds through Levels 21 to 24 (Tropical Forest, Drifting Tanker, Haunted Castle, and Enchanted Woods), where the settings get more elaborate but the underlying puzzle families stay the same as what you learned in the first ten episodes.

If a specific late-game level has you stuck, check whether it’s a code puzzle first. Nine times out of ten, the number or symbol sequence you need is sitting in a sign, painting, or object you already walked past.

Puzzle Type	First Major Appearance	What Solves It
Hidden object hunt	Level 1	Tap every unusual detail in the room
Item crafting	Level 1	Combine two incomplete inventory items
Sequence/code puzzle	Level 1 (owl eyes)	Re-check environmental clues, not guesswork
Lock picking	Level 6	Memory-based trial and repeat
Historical/logic sorting	Level 6	Read in-game clue text carefully

The Hint System Most Guides Don’t Mention

Tricky Doors includes an in-app hint button, but hints are limited and cost in-game currency to refill, so leaning on a written walkthrough for the specific step you’re stuck on is usually faster than farming coins. Progress also syncs to your platform account, so switching between a phone and a tablet mid-episode won’t cost you what you’ve already collected, which matters if you’re the type to pick a puzzle back up on whichever device has your save synced</a>.

Platform Differences Worth Knowing

The core puzzles are identical across platforms, but controls change the experience. On mobile, everything is tap-based, which suits the fiddly item combinations well. On Steam and Nintendo Switch, you’re using a cursor or joystick instead of a finger, so precision puzzles like lock picking take a little longer to get used to. None of it changes the solutions, only the input method, and it’s part of why like this one have found an audience well beyond dedicated gamers.
