Better Book It! Walkthrough & Solutions in Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School

Better Book It! is one of Escape Academy 2’s smaller puzzles, but at least one of these locked titles is bound to give you trouble. One, in particular, stumped me, so find out more with our Better Book It! walkthrough to get all three ASAP.

You’re tasked with getting three books from Escape Academy 2‘s library: Ciphers From B to A, Hiding and Seeking, and Larkiny Lenzini: A Book of Lockpicks. Each has a mini-puzzle, and two of the books aren’t straightforward.

Ciphers From B to A Solution in Escape Academy 2

Ciphers From B to A is a literal cipher puzzle, and the cipher clue is given away by the book’s title: For each letter shown, the actual letter needs to be the one before it.

Here’s the solution:

1. The title of the book clearly states that, in this scenario, B is actually A.
2. This means whatever the letter displayed is, you need to go back one letter in the alphabet.
3. The book has six letters at the bottom: FVSFLB.
4. Using the deduced cipher, here’s what you need:
   1. F minus one letter = E.
   2. V minus one letter = U.
   3. S minus one letter = R.
   4. F minus one letter = E.
   5. L minus one letter = K.
   6. B minus one letter = A.
5. Enter EUREKA into the lock to make the book available.

Hiding and Seeking Solution in Escape Academy 2

This one is a lot simpler, as the color marking on the lock is connected to the color of the eye, and the shape for that row is determined by which shape the eye is looking at.

If you’re still struggling, use this logic:

1. The Yellow Eye is looking at a Circle.
2. The Blue Eye is looking at a Triangle.
3. The Grey Eye is looking at a Diamond.
4. The Green Eye is looking at a Square.
5. For the code, the yellow line is a circle, blue is a triangle, grey is a diamond, and green is a square.

Larkiny Lenzini: A Book of Lockpicks Solution in Escape Academy 2

To open the Larkiny Lenzini book, you must seek out the hidden arrows in the title and input them into the lock in the correct order.
