The Guides Axiom
By: Kevin Bradford LLC (Luke Lisi)
This is a complete walkthrough guide with hints, tips, tricks, answers and solutions for the iOS and Android puzzle game, The Guides Axiom by Kevin Bradford and Luke Lisi.
The original Guides also got a new level. I posted the solution here.
Note: I split the walkthrough into multiple pages. If you can’t find what you’re looking for here, try the links below.
Walkthrough:
Levels 1 – 15 | Levels 16 -30 | Levels 31 – 45 | Levels 46 – 60 | Levels 61 – 100 | Expansion Pack
You can watch my full video walkthrough here or continue below for my step-by-step guide:
Level 2: Place three fingers one the screen, one on each of the circles at the same time so they all turn brown.
Level 3: When you tap a circle, it and the circles directly to the right and left of it change to the opposite color. You need to turn them all brown.
Level 4: The circles reveal the letters INPUT.
Answer: INPUT
Level 5: Tap each circle to reveal a number.
Answer: 14454
Level 6: You can choose whether to input a User Code Name. If you want to, just type it in the input box and press SUBMIT.
Level 7: Tap to rotate the circles at the top so the white dots match up with the white dots around each circle. It’s different each time.
Level 8: You need to enter the access code from before. You can do this one of two ways — by inputting the code 14454 in the input box, or pressing the numbered buttons at the top of the screen.
Answer: 14454
Later on, when you have the Caesar cipher decoder, you can unlock a new page. First, take the numbers 2 1 13 2 shown in the screenshot below. If you use the numbers to letters decoder, you get BAMB. Use the Caesar cipher decoder with shift 8 (the hint is R(8)) to get TSET. Reverse it (R) to get TEST.
Enter TEST to get this page:
Level 9: Tap to change the blue circles to 0 and the beige circles to 1.
There’s a secondary solution here that unlocks Level 13. Use the binary decoder to turn the binary into letters. You get INVERTED.
Answer: INVERTED
Level 10: Find the binary decoder in the menu. Then enter the numbers at the top, 01110111 01100001 01101001 01110100, to get the word “wait.” Enter that as the answer.
Answer: WAIT
If you look at the level select screen, the thumbnail for this level shows eight binary groups instead of just four. They go:
01101001
01101100
01101100
01110101
01110011
01101001
01101111
01101110
Answer: ILLUSION
That unlocks this page:
If you look at the thumbnail for it, you get this, which says, “Look what you made me do.”
And if you open the camera, you’ll see a red I to the right.
I’m not sure if any of that means anything.
Level 11: Look at the lights at the top of the screen. They spell out NODE.
Answer: NODE
To unlock a bonus level, take a photo using the in-game camera and look at it. It says PAGE at the top. Input PAGE.
PAGE gives you this:
Level 12: Press ACTIVATE, to gain access to the level selector and other levels.
Level 13: This unlocks after you get the answer for level 9. Invert the numbers so you get:
01110110
01100101
01110010
01110100
01101001
01100011
01100001
01101100
Answer: VERTICAL
Level 14: Pay attention to the highlighted letters: P A U S E
Answer: PAUSE
Level 15: Use the in-game camera to take a screenshot. Then look at the photo. The letters say SAVE.
Answer: SAVE
If you look at the thumbnail of the level in the level select screen, you can see the numbers 16 12 1 14. I assume there will be a decoder later for this, but if you want to solve it now, just count the letters of the alphabet. So 16 = P, 12 = L, 1 = A, and 14 = N.
Answer: PLAN
This will unlock this page:

Hint: look at some of the incomplete levels through the “navigation” menu.
Yeah I noticed that, too, but at least for one of them I think I need another decoder (like from the first game). Trying to avoid brute forcing it or using outside tools.
help me! how can i go to next level(level 13) now im stuck at level 12
Spoiler/Solution Lvl. 19:
If you look closely in Level 19, there are small dots under certain letters. They spell the password. If you know how to solve Level 20, I would be happy.
Also I have no clue what do to in Level 33.
Thanks! My eyes just weren’t seeing those dots. I solved some more levels now.
You’re Welcome.
Yeah, me too. Am currently stuck at lvl 37.
More hints: The solution for level 28 has something to do with the ‘sides’ of the shapes.
Also the arrow in 34 is already pointing at the solution.
Good Luck 🙂
If you type 613145 from Level 26 into Level 29, you unlock Level 81
That’s annoying. I thought I was done with 26.
Use number of sides in Level 28 as code for Level 29 will unlock Level 82 (313854)
4251 on level 30 takes you to level 100which isn’t up and running yet.
From the fact that 2 of the dots above the keypad in level 29 have turned blue – it appears we need to enter another two names. Don’t know what but must be from a few other levels. Some still haven’t been completed so I imagine they are somewhere in there.
Ah – and then the 4 numbers I imagine we will get from levels 81-84 give the password for level 30. So 42??
Yup, I translated them from binary, but still need the other two.
Oh wow its so obvious. The answer to level 34 is ‘numerals’ giving a level with 6 roman numerals – they give one of the 6 digit codes and the word ‘decade’ unlocking another level
Also use “numerals” as password for 34
Yeah thats what I meant. The answer to level 36 is X – roman numerals for ’10’
Yeah sorry @Joe, I wrote that comment when yours wasn’t published too. Does anybody know the answer for 37?
Just got it! Its roman numerals for XCVI = 96. The answer is just ’96’
Past that, it’s a simple number letter switcheroo. The four ?s are 1009. The level after that, use the new decoder to get MIX.
After that, take a photo when the numbers aren’t too bright to get numbers which translate to an anagram of DATA. Then the next level is just a grid of the alphabet with numbers added at the end to make a 36 grid. The xs make up EMPTY.
Next two levels pretty easy – binary giving ‘shifting’ and dots adding up to number equivalent of rotate. You’ve probably got that. Next is a cipher wheel where I think we need to rotate 3…
That did not make sense to me.
Anyone get 96 yet??
Level 36: There are ten dots, so the roman numeral is “X” Answer: X Level 37: Key = x, so XCVI = 96 Answer: 96 (This will take you to Level 96) Level 96: When you push the button, “-IF-” will change to “0960”, indicating it is alphanumeric cypher, with “0” being “-“. Pull the switch to the right it will display “????”. Push the button and it will display “A–I”. Using the alphanumeric key, “A–I” is “1009” in numbers Answer: 1009 (This will take you back to Level 38) Level 38: Hint is asking for roman numeral, so “1009”… Read more »
Level 45– on the wheel cypher, 3 is the key (from level 43, it says test “Three is next”). Clue is IRXU, so IRXU = FOUR
Oops, level 44 solution i meant
Level 43: Click the middle button until it says ‘3’ – ten the code IRXU can be translated to get the answer ‘four’
Answer: FOUR
Lever 44: Rotating the wheel to ‘4’ then translating the given code QMRXY you get MINUS
Answer: MINUS
Sorry meant 44 and 45 for those two ^. 46: moving each black mark back two places gives an anagram of EIGHT
Level 45: you’ll need the cypher wheel again from lvl 44. The clue is “K” which is 11th number of the alphabet. Set wheel to 11, then use the letters from lvl 45 (QMRYW) to get BXCJH on the inner wheel. Then check BXCJH from the outer wheel to reveal the word MINUS from the inner wheel. Input MINUS for level 46.
Level 47: Using the arrow indicated and the hint “Tracker Positioning”, go back to Level 41 and shift the dots to the bottom right. Convert from binary to text and you get MNEMONIC
Edit: after you convert from binary to text, you get UVMUWVQK. But using EIGHT as hint, shift 8 to get MEMONIC
Well done Jason! And again a white screen. I figure lvl 8 has a second solution…
Lvl 8 clue says R(8)… using the 2.1.13.2 code as characters, reversing them 8 gives a backward read ‘test’ and opens a new file.
What could it be on lvl 16 with the #16 sign?
Btw… lvl input on top 14454 gives different tunes for right and wrong numbers… just a nice treat.
Another such a hint is given in lvl. 40 where the picture states an empty set symbol.
I’m so confused when u get to the blank page, like am I suppose to do something or wait for the next day or…?
Lvl 35 decade coded in roman gives a string of six numbers 453145, fitting in lvl 29, greatness it opens lvl 83 for you, providing one of the central binaries as stated by …[#]… being 00110101 e.i. # 5 and with little brute force lvl 30 can now be cracked with the three given numbers: 4-2/5-?. This results in 4251, opening the white screen on lvl 100.
Great note I had note noticed the blinking yet, was looking into the same. Just see a slight typo as the one said as 44 is actually 45.
Under number 40 seems a empty spot. Tap it and a gray spot as the thumbnail appears, after tapping you get a little story about being lost in a maze and you get a maze icon 🙂
The alpha numeric sheets have in the top right 1/4 -k and then 2/4 -e … where does that lead to? keys?
Here’s a few side solutions. Level 16: If you push the arrows at the bottom to show the “free hint”, you see three locks. Once you’ve made it to Level 44, you’ll see that the cipher wheel has a key on it. (This is why the side solution to Level 8 and using the cipher wheel makes sense). Anyways, if you look at the upper right part of the image on 16, there’s 8 wheels that point to one of 26 points. Line them up with the wheel in 44, and you get “twoseven”. Type “27” to get to…something. Level… Read more »
Got another one.
Level 25: The letters not used in the main solution spell “dbokdsco”. Use the cipher wheel offset by ten (there are ten dots) to get “treatise”.
Whoa! Nice work.
Level 16 again.
Enlarge photo and lights on the centre console give you binary code which spells PROPOSAL. This takes you to another document.
Nice! I missed that detail.
I kept wondering after a restart why this first file didn’t show up anymore. After having the first three, you get the fourth to click on.
Anyway, the 5 clocks in the middle of 16 are still unsolved. Pointers seem to point at with light above them in brackets:
6-36 (1-1)
6-42 (1-1-0)
24-36 (1-1-0)
30-42 (1-1)
42-48 (0-0-1-1)
Put them in as morse code, .. ..- ..- .. –.., then set the ceasar cipher to 7. Comes out as boobs. Unsure if joke or important?
Just thought i would tell you that the clocks are solved with a key found in the first game The Guides. I want to say that it is found somewhere in the second area level either 14 or 16.
I’m still missing a side solution for 33 and 16. Those are the only two levels still outlined in gold. I noticed that level 33 responds to gyroscope movements but they don’t seem to make anything appear, it just moves one of the lawyers of grit around on the background.
Even though 41 is shaded in I thought the rest of the binary codes you get from moving the grid around might come in handy down the line and save some time. Level 41 Left = opposite Right = drawback Bottom left = alphabet Bottom Right – used for level 47 Bottom = patterns Middle = shifting – used already Top left = 83 85 77 Top right = 83 73 88 Top – ???? – can’t get that one I’ve tried both 6 digit numbers on level 29 but no luck. Also level 33 isn’t showing as complete after… Read more »
Top is “OUTLINED”
the top is “outlined”
bright as 0 and dark as1
Level 16 Bonus: QUBIT (I do not know how)
Level 33 Bonus: Add all the dots (12+26+10=48), subtract (hence the answer from Level 32) the number of groups of dot (3), gives you the answer 45
Oh nice work. I wonder if there’s a third number like 27 & 45 that will together give us the last 6-digit code for 29.
The QUBIT solution to 16 is semaphore. It was used in the original The Guides; it’ll probably get used later.
