Riddle School 5 Tile Puzzle Answer and 4701 Device
The first Riddle School 5 tile puzzle is a 3-by-3 device. From the standard numbered-grid state, number the 3-by-3 grid from left to right and top to bottom, then click 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2, 4, 6, 8, 1, 3, 9, 7, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2, 6, 5, 1, 9, 7, 5, 4, 6, 3, 7. That solves the device and points you toward the 4701 progression clue.
| Grid layout | Click order | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 2 3 / 4 5 6 / 7 8 9 | 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2, 4, 6, 8, 1, 3, 9, 7, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 2, 6, 5, 1, 9, 7, 5, 4, 6, 3, 7 | The tile device resolves into the 4701 clue path. |
The numbers above label positions, not the appearance of the tiles. A click sequence depends on the starting pattern; if you have already changed the board, it may not produce the same result. Restarting the whole game may lose your progress.
How to Get the Steak, Meat, and Monster Sequence Right
To get the steak, enter Subject #1831, open the hidden room on the right wall, and take the steak from that space. It does not solve the monster by itself; it needs the tray, dirtflower, four screws, and Life-Transferring Station setup.
Put dirt in the tray, combine the tray with the steak when the route allows it, place that on the dead-animal side of the Life-Transferring Station, place the potted dirtflower on the living side, then activate the machine. The point is to create the living steak for the later monster trap.
How to Feed or Trap the Monster in Riddle School 5
The monster step is an order puzzle. Once the living steak is ready, place it where the monster will chase it, then use the monster's movement to trigger the trap. If nothing happens, go back and check the fourth screw, tray, dirtflower, and Life-Transferring Station setup before repeating the monster room.
Riddle School 5 Code, 4701, and Subject IDs
Check which device you are using before entering a code. The first tile device leads to the 4701 clue, while the dream chair uses subject IDs from the doors.
| Subject | Code | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Zack | 6553 | Dream subject ID |
| Smiley | 1831 | Dream subject ID and steak-room route |
| Phred | 7272 | Dream subject ID |
