Step 1. Activate the mechanism

If the response does not appear, return to the beginning of this checkpoint and repeat the same action without adding extra jumps or taps. Keeping the sequence controlled makes the successful route easy to reproduce and prevents a later step from failing because an earlier trigger was missed.

Notes and Precautions

  1. 1. You can jump on top of the cups. Raise all three of them in the air and climb like stirs. Jump up and to the right where you'll find a secret passage.
  2. 2. Level numbering can differ between app releases, so match the screenshot, clue and room geometry before attempting this route.
  3. 3. Complete one checkpoint at a time and confirm the visible response; moving ahead before a trigger finishes can make the next action appear not to work.
  4. 4. If the room resets, repeat the documented order from the start instead of trying to recover halfway through the trap sequence.

Tips and Tricks

  1. 1. Watch the dedicated video once at normal speed, then replay only the checkpoint where your movement differs.
  2. 2. Use short, deliberate inputs around spikes, keys, levers and moving platforms so an extra tap does not activate the room’s trick.
  3. 3. Prioritize a clean exit on the first successful run; return for bats, stars or alternate paths after the main solution is familiar.
  4. 4. When an action seems ineffective, compare your exact position and character state with the screenshot and video before restarting.
