Rooms & Exits level guide
Rooms & Exits Level 17 Walkthrough
The longest Chapter 2 room yet — a hot-pink-and-yellow candy shop bursting with lollipop signs, glass pastry cases, candy dispensers, and a back kitchen area. A dessert-card memory game, a Sudoku-style candy-symbol grid, a weighing scale, and a locked red gift box all stand between you and the exit.
Board Notes
- Layout
- A candy-colored retail space with hot pink walls, yellow trim, and a giant swirled lollipop sign overhead. Glass display cases of pastries line the counter beside a cash register. Candy dispensers and shelving units hold colorful sweets. A back area has a weighing scale, blue water dispensers, and a red gift box on a shelf.
- Goal
- Solve the dessert-card matching game and the candy-symbol logic grid, gather items from the front counter and back kitchen, and unlock the exit.
Quick Tips for Rooms & Exits Level 17 (spoiler-free)
- The candy-symbol grid is Sudoku, not tic-tac-toe — each icon must appear once per row AND once per column.
- The red gift box is interactive despite looking like shop décor; tap it to open.
- Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
How to Solve Rooms & Exits Level 17 — Full Solution
- Search the front shop: check the cash register, candy dispensers, and display shelves for loose items. Collect everything you can reach.
- Solve the dessert-card memory puzzle — flip pink cards in pairs to match identical dessert icons across the grid.
- Move to the back area. Open the red gift box, examine its contents, and place the right item on the weighing scale to trigger a clue.
- Tackle the candy-symbol grid: place each symbol (lips, gummy bear, lollipop, strawberry, apple) so that every row and every column contains each icon exactly once. Use the process of elimination starting from rows or columns with the fewest empty cells.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating the symbol grid like tic-tac-toe and aiming for three in a row — the actual rule is no repeats per row or column, like a mini Sudoku.
- Overlooking the back kitchen area entirely — the blue dispenser and weighing scale are easy to miss behind the vibrant front shop.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the candy-symbol grid work?
Each row and each column must contain every candy icon exactly once — no duplicates allowed. Start with the row or column that already has the most symbols filled in, determine which icon is missing, and work outward.
What do I do with the weighing scale?
Place a specific item from your inventory onto the scale. The scale responds by revealing a hidden code or unlocking a compartment. The correct item is hinted at by clues found elsewhere in the shop.
