How to Beat Trace Escape Room

If you’re having trouble solving the hidden puzzles to escape the bathroom, patio, and tower, our Trace walkthrough guide has all the hints you need to beat the game on Cool Math Games. It’s a long point-and-click experience and so this guide is pretty long too, but we’ve divided it into parts to help you exit every room easily.

Table of Contents

There are several puzzles scattered all across the game — stick till the end to know how to escape every single room and win.

As soon as you spawn into the room, click on the pentagon at the bottom. The goal here is to point the arrows in such a way that it makes a star symbol. The Trace game hint for this part is shown in the star at the top. Once you are done, press the circle button at the center and you will see if that forms a proper star or not.

Collect the scissors from the cabinet that just opened. The second half of the scissors are in the sink. Combine them on the left side of the screen by putting one over the other. Note the code scribbled at the back of this cabinet which is _ _ _ 16.

Click on the toilet paper, it has the number 5 _ _ _

Click on the box next to the plant pot. Click on the circles in the same pattern as the lightbulbs are lit up which is – lit, unlit, lit, lit, unlit. It will open up and show the code _ 8 _ _

Click on the key hanging on the wall. Cut the threads with your scissors and collect the key. Use the key to open the grey box. Open it up and the code you will see is _ _ .35 _. Don’t forget to collect the crumpled paper inside. Straighten it up and a strange illustration will appear.

Move the camera to the right side of the screen where the sink is present. Open up the uncrumpled paper/map and the circles should line up with the lightbulbs. The illustration will also line up with the wall, pot, and sink — one tile will be marked as an X. Click on that tile.

This will bring up a fish drawing with colored dots. Use the camera button on the bottom left to take a screenshot.

Now go back to the pentagon puzzle and line up the arrows to make a fish drawing. This will open another cabinet where you will see the code 1 2 .05 8 on a plate. Take a screengrab of this as well.

As you can see, the dashes are above the numbers so you are expected to divide the previous code you got with the numbers shown.

5 8 0.35 16

– – – –1 2 0.05 8

The solution is: 5 4 7 2

Now go to the painting of flowers placed at the bottom right of the sink. Put this code there. Collect the lightbulb.

Place this bulb inside the Jack-o-lantern. Note the colors and pattern of the eyes and nose of the carved pumpkin and replicate it on the pentagon puzzle.

Open the cabinet, collect the key, and use it on the door. A new slider puzzle will appear. Slide the wooden blocks in a way that makes the key reach the lock.

These were all the Trace game hints to help you escape the Bathroom puzzle in the game. On to the next room!

Line up the planets in the same way you see on the poster with the biggest planet in the center. Press the red button when you’re done and collect the item (this has a broken section, the other part will be collected soon).

Put the battery in the slots on the device placed on that table. You will need one more.

Open up the drawer with two Xs on it and collect the ‘unicorn’ item.

Move your camera to the window next to a door, and zoom into the puzzle. It has a diamond-shaped icon on it and so does the unicorn you just picked.

Click on the unicorn and turns out it was a giraffe all along! Align its diamond eye with the diamond on the puzzle.

An item will appear which is the second half of the grey item you’ve picked before. Combine it.

Note the markings on the grey item (metal tablet). These symbols are important.

Now go to the wooden item with a wooden man on it. This will be near the painting of a white tower.

Replicate the symbols on this wooden item.

Now head to the photo frame with multiple symbols separated by “>” icon. Take a photo. These are actually the things you have to do in the room in that particular order.

Collect the blade and key.

There will be a dotted line under the table with curved legs. Use the blade to cut it open. A Heart Puzzle will show up.

Use the key to open the door. You’ll be on the balcony now.

Explore the balcony further and you will see a circle that looks exactly like the bathroom window.

The Trace game hint for this section is to check the plants in the photo you took and change them to exactly that in the puzzle. Press the button and collect the Star.

Put the battery where it was missing. The device will now show an arrow pointing to the right ➡️. Zoom out of the room and look at the ceiling, there will be a heart and the arrow where it is pointing.

Here’s the solution to the Heart Puzzle in the Trace Game

Collect the items. Put the submarine in the fish tank.

Head out to the Balcony and click on the table where you’ll find several puzzle pieces and a Star. Here, you have to take your time and complete the puzzle.

The end goal is to make a picture of the living room from the angle of the couch. Go to the sofa and click to get that same angle. Use the blade/box cutter to cut through its arm and get the hidden key. It has some shapes on it, which brings us to the section right under the computer.

Use the pentagon key over the numbers and the ones that are highlighted as 9 (triangle), 2 (circle) and 3 (an upside-down trapezoid).

Go to the computer and start it. When it asks for a password, enter 923 and log in. Click on the Submarine. Explore the scenes until you land on another password: 26336 6161.

Look away. Start the computer again and click on the Robot icon this time. Here, you will see another set of codes.

Go towards the drawers and follow the same pattern to open them. Now, you will get a horseshoe magnet.

Now head to the door with steel rods and enter the code 26336 6161 to escape the living room and the house in Trace game. Of course, there’s one more door puzzle to complete.

To complete the house door puzzle in the Trace game, you have to place Stars in a way that there’s only one per color, so you need 8 Stars in total. If you’ve followed this guide, you have six an need two more stars first.

Open up the yellow book placed next to the table fan. It will tell you the location of one more Star on the balcony. There’s one more near a mini piano kept on a table on the balcony, in the same place where you re-did the giraffe puzzle.

Here’s the solution you can follow to complete the House door puzzle and once done, press the red button. You have successfully escaped the house in Trace on Cool Math Games.

Once you’re out of the house, explore the areas outside.

Check the section that has an arrow and says Cabbage Faced through the circle window. Take a screenshot. This is a password that you will need at the piano.

Get to the place where there’s a flower pot on a small table. You will need a code for the wooden frame on the wall.

Put this sequence here to remove the frame and collect the dragon figurine behind it and a golden key.

Head out to the wooden bridge, back into the house and the balcony. Use the golden key on the umbrella. Click on the eye on the chair to reveal some text – Eyes Close in the Dark. It also appears with a symbol of a witch’s hat inside a gear and a curve under it.

Now head back outside to the tower and go upstairs. There will be a robot figurine next to a light – pick it up and go back to the balcony. You should see a Kite here. You can use the Robot on the Kite’s rope and it will hang onto it.

Now head to the small piano. Press the keys in this order: C, A, B, B, A, G, E, F, A, C, E, D. Once done, open the top of the piano and collect the item.

Take the submarine out of the fish tank in the house. Combine it with the item you just picked up. Put the whole thing back into the fish tank and press the red button under it.

Start the computer and click on the submarine icon. Navigate the visuals and open up the wooden treasure chest. The words “I DID DEEDS” will appear.

Now move away from the PC, and log in again by clicking on the Gear > Robot icon. You will now see the perspective of the Robot hanging on the rope. Check everything on the screen – you will see that the bridge has some symbols marked on the side. Take a screenshot.

Go back to the tower, to the section with the red flowers, and click on the drawer. A keyboard will show up where you need to type I DID DEEDS.

Collect the dragon item from there.

Now head towards the stairs and open up the door and go inside.

Click on the gear-like symbol on the door and you will see that you have to draw the witch’s hat on it, to replicate the “Eyes Close in the Dark” icon.

Look up and click on the bulbs. The goal is to ensure that all are unlit. Once done, a symbol will appear below with a tooth, fire, and wing. This is where the figurines will come into the picture.

Collect the screwdriver that appears and go back into the house.

Near the balcony’s door, there’s a red light next to a metal sheet with Password written on it. Use the screwdriver to open it up.

You will see this:

^O|—|^

Go to the computer and click on the tower icon. Now, add the password
