Well, it's a colored cube you need to spin around in the proper sequence. So far I've just been doing it trial and error... is there a method? You know when you're correct. If you're wrong it puts you back on blue.

Very easy puzzle, like four or five levels. Just keep remembering the proper path and you'll have it eventually.

Yeah I was prettymuch wondering the same thing. I got it through trial and error, but is there some logic to this?

No matter what I do, mine is broken. It stays in a weird miniature window with the stone alter in the small portion with a giant out of proportion die outside the window and a huge blurry file the same size as the little window by itself below it. Once I leave the room the game stays minimized like that until I log out and log back in. So strange.

Email them and tell them what's going on, if you can attach a screen shot of what exactly it looks like, even better. They're pretty good about fixing stuff fast.

I don't know what my problem is, but I don't see this anywhere. I have searched through the map of the whole level and I can't figure out where to go for this puzzle? I never saw it...can anyone direct me please? *feels like an idiot*

I don't know a solution for specific orders, but the cube retains the same pattern even if time runs out (time is measured by the horizontal blue bar, the vertical bars denote how many moves your current level's combination has). I got through by writing "l", "r", "d" or "u" on a piece of scrap paper and keeping track of my "code". After the cube does full spins (level completed), you'll start from the beginning again on the next level with a new pattern.

It may help to think of it as a really weak pass code with only four results for each tumbler.

Time spent on all levels of this puzzle, <10 minutes.

Now to keep trying the last levels of the pipe game. (I'm not fast enough... yet.)

These were my solutions, I doubt they are randomized for each player (but they could be, so confirm for yourself)

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

(level 1 = salmon, magenta, green)

(level 2 = yellow, teal, magenta, green, teal)

(level 3 = salmon, blue, teal, magenta, green, magenta, teal)

(level 4 = teal, yellow, green, yellow, salmon, green, magenta, salmon, yellow)


Of course, part of the skill set involves having enough spatial memory to know where the faces rotate to between steps. It took me many attempts to work the 4th level quickly enough to beat the timer.

That's why I remembered directions rather than colors.
