Cube Escape: Paradox
By: Rusty Lake
Cube Escape: Paradox is the latest addition to the Rusty Lake franchise of quirky room escape games. It’s the tenth Cube Escape game and thirteenth Rusty Lake game. It can be tricky, so this walkthrough guide should help you if you get stuck. Feel free to ask for extra help in the comments section.

You can watch my video for Chapter 2 or continue on for my step-by-step guide.
91. The painting tilts. Remove it and take the funeral card. Also, open the window to see some diagrams. And tap on the window to get a corrupted statue.
92. Place the funeral card in the psychological evaluation. You now have everything in there.
93. The funeral card says TV on it and the numbers 2 0 and 7 are underlined. So change the channel on the TV to 207. Laura appears and get la closer and closer until all you can see is her eye.
94. Zoom out. The eye stays on the screen. If you tap it, it looks left or right. Move in the direction it points. If it’s left, you’ll see Laura. Tap her and she’ll tilt her head either left or right. I never got to see what happens if she tilts left. But when she tilts right, go back to the TV and tap it again. If it looks to the right, head to the mirror. Again, I’ve only had the mirror eye look left, so I’m not sure if the fourth side of the room is part of this puzzle at all. At one point, Laura will probably be upside-down. It’s not a trick — just go in the direction she tilts her head. Once you’re done, she’ll disappear and you can grab the woman statue.
95. The window drawings obviously have to do with the clock. There’s a hint in the mental heath guide. It says THE PAST IS NEVER DEAD. You need to find numbers relating to the door, deer skull, globe and vial cabinet, then use them to set the clock. I don’t really like this puzzle, as I found the clues a bit too obtuse. But here’s how it goes. The clue shows the deer skull at 12:00 and the window at 6:00. You need to figure out what the door, globe, and vial cabinet are. If you walk around the room, treat the whole room as a clock. So start at the deer head (12:00) and turn right to the vial cabinet, which is at 3:00. Turn right again and you come to the window (6:00). Turn right again and you come to the door (9:00). Turn right again and you come to the deer skull again, but also the globe. The globe is sort of between the door and the deer skull. So that makes it 11:00. Yeah, I don’t like that either. But I added the other items to the drawing in the book to help you see it. And now you have the numbers for each item:
Deer Skull = 12
Vial Cabinet = 3
Window = 6
Door = 9
Globe = 11
95. So now, look at the window again. The left panel has a door with an X and a globe with a ΓÇó. So the time to set it to is 11:45, with the hour hand (ΓÇó) on 11 and the minute hand (X) on 9. Take the coin.
96. Now for the right panel. The X is the deer skull and the ΓÇó is the vial cabinet. So set the time to 3:00, with the hour hand (ΓÇó) on 3 and the minute hand (X) on 12. Take the sugar cube.
97. Change your mind to the past if you haven’t already. Then look inside the box by your dead parents and use the coin to unlock the smaller box inside it. Take the man statue.
98. Change to your present mind and give Mr. Crow the sugar cube since he whined about the coffee being too bitter. What a big baby. Then take the crow statue from his hand
99. Switch to your mind of the future. Laura is sitting in the chair. Talk to her and she says:
“Welcome to the future.
One of us will die, the other will be enlightened.
Please make the right move, Dale.”
Then place the five chess pieces (statues) on the board.
100. This is not so clear, but the red lines are kind of the clue here. You need to avoid all red lines, meaning none of the pieces can be in the same row, column or diagonal. When you get it right, five symbols will appear.
101. Now, refer to the psychological evaluation again to figure out the order of the symbols. It goes:
1 – Corrupted Soul
2 – Dr. Crow
3 – Dale Vandermeer
4 – Laura Vanderboom
5 – Mr. Owl
So head over to the combination lock and enter the symbols from the chess board in that order. Take the Harvey’s Song cassette tape.
102. Play the tape in the cassette player. It doesn’t seem to work at first, so rewind it and then play it again. Harvey will fly to the window. Tap him and he’ll fly away, but if you turn around the room, he’ll be on Laura’s shoulder when you get back. Tap on him. He says JOHNSSON! Talk to Laura and she says, “We are back where it all began: Harvey’s Egg.”
103. Look for JOHNSSON in the phonebook. The full name is Johnsson J D E and the number is 54253.
104. Call 54253 on the phone. They sell bird food! Order some parrot food and they say it will be delivered to the future. I’m already in the future, but if you’re not, change to your future mind. Then check the window for the bird food.
105. Feed Harvey the bird seed and then tap him a couple of times so he lays an egg into Laura’s hand. Grab the egg.

The last set is in the numerical order of flags color. The first one being the green one.
By the way great work. Your walkthroughs are really helpful. Keep it up.
Yeah I figured it out shortly after I wrote that. 🙂
And thanks!
In the rabbit hands game, the hands in the pocket and in the shirt are pointing what hand do you have to touch
Page 6 is broken
Half the time when I get to the globe-brain the bubbles won’t move at all.
I tried doing the globe puzzle but its not working. I have taken out the brain. Should I use it or…?
Harvey won’t show when I play the song… don’t know what to do :/
Try changing to a different brain?
I’ve tried every brain, restarting the music every time.. Harvey wont show for me either! 🙁
Pull out the brain and Rewind the HarveyΓÇÖs song. Then youΓÇÖll see Harvey on the window.
Tried that. Did not help…
I had the same problem! I played the tape backwards and he came!
Playing it forward makes him leave, backward makes him come back
It wasn’t working for me either. I rewinded the tape and then pressed play again and surprisingly it worked, so maybe try that ?
I had the same issue, I had to play and then stop the tape right after for it to work. Also try rewinding it.
IΓÇÖve played the song in all three times, then with ΓÇ£no brain.ΓÇ¥ Still no Harvey.
Try rewinding the tape
they didnt mention that youΓÇÖre supposed to play it backwards
Play the tape in rewind mode
Play the song backwards
Play song in reverse!
Play the song backwards… I had a hard time with this one too. I guess forwards makes him fly off and backwards makes him return.
why tf wont harvey wont show up. Switched brains and still nothing
Empty head. Pull out the brain and Rewind the Harvey’s song. Then you’ll see Harvey on the window.
I have the egg to the hand and nothing goes happened. If I click on the red drape, iΓÇÖm zoomed back to the hand asking for something again. Is this a big or I am missing something?
Sounds like a bug to me. 🙁
How do I get the cup to make coffee
DoesnΓÇÖt he give it to you?
I had the same problem !
I planted the coffee and poured water on them and NOTHING HAPPENED. I Have used almost all the water in the jars. still nothing. Please help. I have been pre-registered and waiting for this game forever and want to play it so much!
That never happened to me. Sounds like a bug. 🙁
You could contact the developer and ask them or restart the chapter and hope it works then.
Did you try clicking the tree? It worked for me.
Out of interest the words on the walls used for the box puzzle translate from Hindi to:

I can’t work out the last one on the right!
Oh cool!

Pret means corrupted soul
When I tapped on the window the corrupted statue disappeared and I didnΓÇÖt get it. I tried with every brain and I still canΓÇÖt get it.
I keep trying to color in the door and it wonΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t work. I have the same problem on my iPad and my iPhone….what do I do?
Sounds like a bug. You should contact the developer.
Every time I try to color in the door it wonΓÇÖt accept my coloring. Same problem on my iPad. What do I do?
Can’t set the clock to 3:00
I worked so hard without a walkthrough and then I got to the part when you have to set the TV to 207. It stays black. Nothing happens. I have tried everything. 🙁
Ever figure out what the 3 empty squares that are found on several different pictures in both games are for? It’s driving me crazy trying to figure it out lol!
I was wondering that, too. I figured itΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗s an Easter egg if you manage to put them together somehow. But no idea, sorry. 🙁
I solved the symbols box correctly, but it wonΓÇÖt open. Am I missing something? I even reset the game and did it again. Nothing.
Have you made sure the symbols are centered in the squares? It happened to me once and realized if I clicked on each symbol, they would align. That solved the issue for me.
There are two different type of triangles, one with a line and one with a dot. Make sure you’re using the right one.
The red curtain has already fallen but I didn’t get the owl statue yet, and also haven’t even found the egg. Do I have to restart it?
Same for me so cant go any further
You need an empty mind.
I can’t get the bulb on chapter 2 and I don’t know what to do, I’ve already reset once
The bird food doesnt appears!!!
My red drape where the hand appears is on the floor, so I can’t give it the egg. Did I miss a step? Thanks new player and I love your videos
Ahaaa figured it out! Had to take my brain out first
I canΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t get the puzzle piece from the hand… I go back to the present and the red sheet is on the floor. I canΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t give the letter to the hand in exchange for the game piece 🙁
Same I can’t even pick up the letter ╬ô├½├¡Γò₧├åΓö£ΓöÉΓö£├Ñ╬ô├½├¡Γò₧├åΓö£ΓöÉ╬ô├⌐┬║
to pickup the letter you need to burn the seal with cigar. And you go back to present by taking the brain out, not using the brain of present.
Where did you get the sugar cube?
Help I’m searching for it too
WHERE IS IT???:(((
Ok, thank you for explaining the clock puzzle. I HATE that solution, because it doesn’t follow the logic most of the Rusty Lake puzzles follow. I thought the health guide book was simply trying to show that the window shape was the clue for solving the clock. And the deer, well I guess I didn’t figure out that part of it, but it said the past is never dead so I figured it had something to do with the past mind, which was not the case. Arrows on the notebook, or maybe an “=” sign or something that made it more clear that the room layout correlates to the clock would have helped. BUT the clock isn’t like a combo lock, there are only a 12×12 combos in this game, so I ended up brute forcing my way through that one. Not proud of it, and it took a lot away from my enjoyment of the game to do that, but I was messing around and got one on accident. Tried really hard to figure it out AFTER I had the combos, and it still made no sense to me. Was the only puzzle in this game I didn’t solve properly, but I’m still glad I didn’t have to go to a walkthrough til after. The 8 antlers and 4 squares on the door kept making me think those numbers had something to do with it. Oh well…
It bugs me to use the walkthrough but sometimes I just don’t know how to move on 🙂
The brain part is ridiculously hard. I feel like I wasted my money. I really want to like this series, but who thinks of this?
Não consigo derrubar os bixos do cérebro.
I cant give the Letter to the Hand because the birdcage disappeared somehow. What can I do?
nice
Where tf did you guys get the cup in chapter 2???????? IΓÇÖm so confused like a second ago there wasnΓÇÖt a cup and then there was
I seem to have some pieces of the film missing so I can’t complete this?
