Chapter 8:

You can watch my video for Chapter 8 here or continue on for my step-by-step guide:

1. It’s another puzzle like the earlier one getting to the consulate. This time, you need to navigate Marie to where Ed is being held.

2. Take the tweezers from the drawer and look at the note near the flowers. There’s a clue on it! It says:

(42 50 81) + (12 18 01)

If you do the math, you get 54 68 82.

3. Tap on the locker and enter 546882.

final-1633

4. Take the knockout drug and invisible ink. Use the tweezers to get the handcuff instructions. They tell you the code that Ed used to unlock the handcuffs before! Looks like we’re going back in time to send him the numbers.

5. Use the handcuff instructions on the confession in the typewriter to add the numbers 6382 to it. Then go through the door to meet the ambassador.

final-1639

6. Add the drug to his cup of tea and hand it to him. Then you’ll get the switchboard key. Go back to the other room.

final-1640

final-1645

7. Use the key to unlock the switchboard.

final-1646

8. When a yellow light blinks, insert a plug. Then, insert its companion plug into the correct slot based on the person’s request. You need to unplug them when the calls are over so you can reuse them. It’s a bit stressful. It goes like so:

Berlin + Kressler
G.Stetter + Ix.
Hamburg + Kressler
Wien + N.Riehl
H.Geiger + Leipzig
S.Flugge + W.Bothe
Berlin + Kressler
Paris + Kressler (wait for him)

Sorry, this puzzle is ridiculously long so I’m just going to post video of it.

9. Next, you need to use the tweezers to grab the key from Kessler’s pocket. Then use it to unlock the skylight and climb through.

final-1648

final-1649

10. Now you have to move to the exit while avoiding all the spotlights. Move like so: Right, Right, Right, Up, Right, Right, Right, Down, Down, Down, Right, Right, Down, Down, Right.

final-1650

11. Marie will drop down on a guard and knock him over. Take the keys from the open door.

final-1651

12. Use the keys to unlock the left cell door and rescue Ed. That’s the end of Chapter 8!

final-1654

    What is the trick for getting the key out of his pocket? I am playing on my phone and there is not enough space to lift it before his hand or jacket swing.

    1. Adrienne Matlock

      I have similar issue playing on my phone. I reach the top of my screen and the key isn’t out yet. I can’t grab with another finger, lower on my screen and continue removing the key because it drops as soon as the original finger is lifted without acknowledging the placement of the second.

      1. Dez

        I had the same issue, just bring the tweezers down on the right side as his hand is swinging over the key, then as it swings back to the left, move the tweezers in and pull up. Just be sure the tip doesn’t hit the corner of the pocket.

    2. Erin

      I can’t get past the first stupid puzzle on my phone, I get to the guy in the jail and the guard gets me every time

      1. Traci

        I had the same problem but if you don’t wait for the other guy to move, and just go, it works.

        1. Alicia

          I have the same issue! I get to the jail following the steps and it still says I’m caught

          1. Lyanne

            You can bait the 1st and 3rd guards like in the video but for the 2nd, you can make it look like the 1st and 2nd guards blocked opposite entrances of the biggest building before attracting the 3rd guard. For the 4th one you can bait them just like the video but from the lowest row. You can block the 5th or the one who isn’t attracted so that the 5th guard was standing in the 4th guard’s position in the video. I hope this is helpful and not too complicated

      2. Jh

        Same here! Also the guards look different…

    3. Helen

      Same issue. I ended up skipping it. It was so frustrating.

  2. Adrienne Matlock

    This can’t be right. I don’t have enough screen to remove the key from Kressler’s arse.

    1. Dez

      I had the same issue, just bring the tweezers down on the right side(aim for under or the lower side of the circle) as his hand is swinging over the key, then as it swings back to the left, move the tweezers in and pull up. Just be sure the tip doesnΓÇÖt hit the corner of the pocket.

  3. Amelia

    I love your work but I canΓÇÖt seem to figure out the Marie to Ed puzzle please help.

  4. Kim

    The switchboard game is a nightmare! I attempted it for hours & could Never get it completed. Some of the buttons would never turn green. After much stress & frustration, I removed the app from my phone. I would not recommend this app to anyone. I really enjoy the Haiku type escape apps but not this one.

    1. Helen

      This one has been my least favorite one. Seconded by The Covenant. I’m not even going to finish that one. But since it’s within the AE app and not seperate I can’t delete it. I hate having an unplayed one in the queue! Ah, well..

  5. REEEEEEEE

    I cant complete the first one. It doesnt count as the guard still gets me when im already at the cell

    1. Rachie

      I have the same problem!

    2. Alibongo

      I had that the first few times then tried again and it worked.

    3. Wii

      Same

    4. Aha

      Did you solve it? I can’t complete either!

    5. DJW13

      Looks as though I should try again later. I’ve tried restarting the level but still have the same result – the guard next to the cell gets me every time.

    6. Lexi

      You have to disract them differently. The first and third ones are correct. The second one needs to go to the top doorway instead of the one in the video. I had the fourth one follow me to the bottom doorway of the longer building on the bottom. The fifth one goes to the left doorway of the shorter building on the bottom. Then you’re free to get to Ed. When I tried it like the video, I kept getting caught a soon as I got to Ed. I also tried leaving the last guy and he’d still catch me as soon as I reached Ed.

      1. A Friend

        Same. I did it your way as well, to clarify:
        1 – Just like the Video
        2 – As mentioned, direct the guard into the upper doorway.
        3 – Just like the video
        4. This is where it deviates from the video. Step out from the horizontal building to attract the guard then step back and lead him into the left doorway.
        5. Come out of the top doorway of the horizontal video cross over the front of the other building and lead that guard into the left doorway. Come out of the right doorway and head straight up.

        1. Amanda

          Thank you this helped. The one in the video I kept getting caught

      2. Jenn

        THANK YOU!! That worked! I couldn’t understand why mine wouldn’t work like the video. I tried a couple different variations to no avail, but you cracked it. Thanks for sharing!

      3. DJW13

        I can see the logic in getting the second guard to move to the top steps but the way I tried first didn’t work because the other exit is already blocked by the first guard. Of course I then realised that I needed to go through the large building twice. I would have to give up these games if I didn’t have help, so thank you!

      4. Jasmin

        Thank you this worked!!

    7. Lisa Bredahl

      Same

    8. Aiyana

      I have the same problem! How do I get the guard away from that corner?

    9. Sauce

      Same, anyone figure out how how to do this? I did it exactly as in the video!

  6. Why

    PLEASE make a different version of the first one. Whenever i get to the cell, it doesnt continue as it does in yours as the guard beside the cell catches me. Perhaps yours was a lucky lag that they changed later on?

    1. A Friend

      Same. I did it your way as well, to clarify:
      1 – Just like the Video
      2 – As mentioned, direct the guard into the upper doorway.
      3 – Just like the video
      4. This is where it deviates from the video. Step out from the horizontal building to attract the guard then step back and lead him into the left doorway.
      5. Come out of the top doorway of the horizontal video cross over the front of the other building and lead that guard into the left doorway. Come out of the right doorway and head straight up.

      1. K

        There are two horizontal buildings. What do you mean horizontal video? There aren’t that many left doorways on here. I have no idea how to understand what you are saying.

        1. meek

          They mean the first horizontal building, the one with the vertical stairs. Step to the space between the two horizontal buildings to get the guard’s attention and then start going back left, take the stairs going up through the building and you can cross to the right normally. When you get the last guard’s attention, go to the left again and down, this time going through the rightmost horizontal building until you get to the end. This should leave both of the guards stuck at the bottom right-ish corner of the map and you’re free to go up to Ed.

  7. Lou

    Please post the rest of the switchboard task, I can’t follow along on the YouTube link.

  8. Angel Plays AE

    I don’t think anyone noticed this but the guards faces on the game and on the video on this walkthrough is different so that’s probably why the video answers aren’t working

  9. CatReader

    The video solution for the puzzle at the beginning of Chapter 8, where Marie must reach Ed, does not work on the rerelease of Allied Spies, and I wonder if it ever did. The guards are permitted their 2-block move even after Marie reaches Ed. Following the video in the whole chapter video or the short version of the puzzle only results in Marie being captured, because there are two guards close enough to capture her. In fact, in the video clip, after Marie moves onto Ed’s block, I see the red exclamation points appear over their heads, just before the Success star appears. After contacting the developer and receiving assurance that there is a solution and that the guards are supposed to be permitted a final move of their usual 2 blocks, I worked out a solution. It starts the same as the video. However, when Marie steps out onto the top row, tighmost stairway and has moved down 1 block, which lures a guard toward her, mover her back into the building via the same stairway. The next several moves are the same as the video, but I moved differently once I reached the bottom row and was moving tight. I don’t know how to record and I won’t replay, but this latter part is easier after using the different movement at the top right stairway.

    1. .

      I also tweeted my solution at the end. Though it doesn’t seem to be the same as yours.

  10. Linda

    Where did my tweezers go!??

  11. Someone who likes math

    That’s not how you do math

    1. ZWT

      I have been trying to come up with that number too. I get 170316 using PMDS

    2. OriginalDuckster

      That is exactly what I just said lol

  12. Jodie

    My tweezers keep disappearing too. I tried resetting the level and also completely exiting the game.

  13. .

    I need help! When I get to Ed the guards catch up to me even though I’ve already reached him. They won’t let me complete it and I don’t have enough stars to skip.

    1. Konna

      Exactly the same is happening to me!

    2. .

      I solved my problem, but I had to tweak app unwrapped solution a little so that none of the guards were bear Ed when I got to him. I forgot to record it, but if you need help, I’ll try to write down the solution.

      1. Konna

        I would appreciate that, thank you.

  14. Lemmy

    Alright, so it turns out, the guards only get their 2 blocks of movement if you’re already focused by a guard. CatReader has it right.
    Follow the video for the first steps, but lead the second guard to the upper staircase. Then follow the video to get all but one guard away from Ed. Worked for me!

    1. Konna

      Hi, I found another tutorial video on YouTube and I solved it, thank you for replying though!

  15. king kong

    Agreed. No explanation on this math problem as it relates to the actual answer. The procedure says multiply the parenths and then add together. Should be 170316

  16. Pookie

    I have the same issue. I reach the jail square and that guard on the left comes over into the jail square and still gets me. I’ve restarted the game and it still happens. It bites to get this far into the game and not be able to finish it!

  17. Teri

    I can’t complete switchboard either. I’ve spent hours.

    1. Helen

      That one I was finally able to get through by going slower than I thought I needed to. Once I didn’t feel like it was a race to keep up I was able to get it after a couple of tries. I had been at it for a while.

  18. Helen

    Thank you so much for this whole walkthrough. Not my favorite of the AE games and too many games I didn’t enjoy. And it cost me a lot of coins to skip frustrating games like the effing key out the pocket and the rope untangling. Plus, Nazis. Ick. Thanks to you I was able to get through it pretty quickly. I joined your Patreon. 😊

  19. Tiffany

    Pick the key out his pocket from the middle right side instead of the top

  20. JaPan

    I cant get the tweezers in the first place, they are hidden under the question mark magnifying glass so cant select them!!

  21. Bumbaclaaart

    The switchboard puzzle doesn’t even make sense the names they ask for aren’t explained at all 🙄

    1. Vee

      When a plug goes into the caller use the next plug from same location to the receiver of the call when someone calls use a plug and use its partner plug to the party receiving the call.
