Rooms & Exits Level 45 Walkthrough
An evening backyard patio with a swimming pool, a stone BBQ kitchen, and string lights overhead — combine a candle and lighter to see in the dark, find gears and buttons for a wooden peg-board mechanism, and raid the outdoor refrigerator to gather everything you need to escape the yard.
Board Notes
- Layout
- An outdoor patio area at dusk with a terracotta-roofed covered section housing a stone BBQ counter and bar seating. String lights hang between posts. A rectangular swimming pool sits in the center surrounded by pavers and grass strips. A stainless-steel refrigerator stands against a stone wall near the kitchen area. Potted flowers, a stack of old tires, and Halloween pumpkins dot the perimeter. A wooden fence encloses the property.
- Goal
- Combine candle and lighter for illumination, solve the gear-and-peg mechanism on the wooden board, and use collected items to unlock the backyard gate.
Quick Tips for Rooms & Exits Level 45 (spoiler-free)
- The refrigerator is against the stone wall and easy to miss — look for a handle on the far side of the kitchen area.
- Combine the candle and lighter in Inventory before trying to use them; the game won't let you light the candle in the scene directly.
- If the board feels stuck, look for the color with the cleanest path and use that to regain space.
How to Solve Rooms & Exits Level 45 — Full Solution
- Search the BBQ counter drawers and bar area to collect the lighter and other loose items. Check around the pool edges and under patio furniture.
- Open the stainless-steel refrigerator — check both the fridge and freezer compartments for hidden items or clues.
- Find the candle in a separate location. Open Inventory, select both the candle and lighter, and Combine them into a lit candle. Use the lit candle to illuminate a dark corner or melt a seal.
- Collect the gears and buttons. Place the gear cog onto the wooden peg-board mechanism in the correct slot and solve the puzzle to unlock the gate or retrieve the final key.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Walking past the refrigerator because it blends into the stone wall — it is a full-sized appliance with items inside.
- Trying to use the candle or lighter individually on a scene hotspot instead of combining them first in the Inventory.
