Rooms & Exits level guide
Chapter 1 Level 9: Junkyard
The Junkyard chains a slider maze and JWFMI rollers to a three-peg disc stack, colored spider web, exact tool targets, license plates, tire-tread clues, a 99452 crane panel, and bolt cutters for the exit gate.

How to Solve Rooms & Exits Level 9 — Full Solution
- Solve the slider maze inside the blue container and take the paper marked J-W-F-M-I. Set that sequence on the five alphabet cylinders to open the next workshop stage.
- Move the red, yellow, and cyan discs between the three pegs without placing a larger disc on a smaller one, then open the colored spider-web board.
- Move every colored node to its matching rim endpoint. Take the released key and use it on the locked tool cabinet.
- Take the paint, brush, wrench, and cleaner from the cabinet. Combine the brush with the paint and coat the red car door; the painted surface reveals 4761.
- Enter 4761 on the red cabinet keypad, take the fire extinguisher, and use it on the burning barrel. Recover the 700-CB plate from the extinguished barrel.
- Use the wrench to remove the four bolts from the blue panel, then apply the cleaner to expose its circular control. Set green upper-left, red upper-right, cyan lower-right, and yellow lower-left; take the 2FAST plate it releases.
- Place 700-CB and 2FAST on the license-plate wall, then arrange the nine plates into the accepted 3-by-3 layout. Take the tread-symbol paper released by the solved wall.
- Use the paper's 3-by-3 tread pattern to arrange the nine tires in the rack. The solved rack releases a photograph marked 99452.
- Enter 99452 on the yellow keypad, assemble the hanging parts into a complete crane on the revealed panel, and press the green button. Take the bolt cutters and use them on the chained exit gate to complete the level.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Treating the alphabet cylinders as a standalone word puzzle instead of one input to the later license-plate and tire chain.
- Stopping after entering 99452 instead of assembling the crane and using its bolt cutters on the chained gate.
Quick Tips for Rooms & Exits Level 9 (quick clues)
- Add both recovered plates to the wall and finish its 3-by-3 arrangement before moving to the tire rack.
- Read the tire-tread paper released by the completed license-plate wall, then copy its 3-by-3 pattern onto the tire rack.
- Set the round color control to green upper-left, red upper-right, cyan lower-right, and yellow lower-left.
Board notes 5 details
- Layout
- One outdoor yard contains wrecked cars, a yellow crane, stacked containers, tires, a workshop wall, a license-plate display, and several embedded control panels.
- Goal
- Follow every clue-output dependency through the plate wall and tire rack, assemble the crane after entering 99452, then use the released bolt cutters on the chained gate.
- Opening
- Solve the blue-container slider maze to recover the JWFMI paper, use it on the five alphabet cylinders, then solve the red/yellow/cyan three-peg stack.
- Danger Zone
- The 99452 keypad does not finish the level: it only opens the crane assembly panel, whose reward is still needed at the exit gate.
- Mechanics
- The key opens the tool cabinet; paint plus brush reveals 4761 on the red car, the extinguisher recovers a plate from the burning barrel, and the wrench plus cleaner exposes the color dial.
Frequently Asked Questions
What puzzles must I finish before the final keypad?
Complete the letter cylinders, disc stack, license-plate display, spider-web colors, tool chain, circular control, and tire-tread paper first.
What should I combine in the inventory?
Combine the brush with the paint, then use the paint-loaded brush on the red car door to reveal the 4761 cabinet code.
What happens after I enter 99452?
The keypad opens a crane assembly puzzle. Complete the crane, press green, collect the bolt cutters, and cut the chained exit gate.
