Circulous
By: Chain Reaction Games / gary gogis
Circulous is the latest puzzle game from Chain Reaction Games, the developer of The Company Game. You play as Amanda Trouser, who gets hired by Circulous after being fired from her old job. There are some tricky puzzles, so this walkthrough guide should help you if you get stuck. Feel free to ask for extra help in the comments section.
Walkthrough:
Page 1 | Page 2 | Page 3 | Page 4
31. Open the Soar app and solve the puzzle by filling in the letters so the words make sense. In the end it should say:
“They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and now grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
32. Now you have a circle and a square. You need to use the dots around then to make the lines match those you saw in the Interceptor app. The top button draws a line and the bottom button rotates the shape. The middle button pulls the two shapes together.
33. Flip the page over to the other side. There’s a question, “What are our names?” We now know them from the data access logs. Enter ROBIN WREN KINGFISHER in any order.
34. We can’t solve the next puzzles on either side yet, so let’s close the phone. Tap on the apartment door. Someone delivered a box! Examine it. It’s a nonogram, which is a grid-based puzzle where each cell is either full or empty based on the numbers alone the edges. If you need help, you can use my solution below. Once it’s open, take the bird research article and a second Aviary note from inside.
(Achievement Alert!: Opening the box should give you the “Rockin’ Robin” achievement.)
35. Open the Soar app again and use the pattern on the box to solve the grid puzzle. You basically want to move the circle as though it’s going through the maze on the box.
36. Turn to the other side and notice it says BEFORE BLACKOUT at the top. Look at the bird_research_news file and note down the words before each of the censored lines. You end up with SEARCH, LEAD, CHILDREN.
37. Open the Soar app again and solve the puzzle by choosing the magnifying glass for SEARCH, the periodic element for LEAD, and the two CHILDREN.
38. You should have gotten a notification by now about an urgent message from AVIARY. Open the email and scroll to the bottom. There are two things to note here — the number 1987 and the link to www.avry.com. Click the link to open it in the browser.
39. It says at the top, ‘This page intentionally left “blank”.*’ But at the bottom, it’s says ‘*By writing “This page is intentionally left blank,” the page can technically no longer be considered blank. Not to mention the secret…’
So hold your finger anywhere in the blank space and you’ll select a word. Drag the selection tool to make more text appear. It says TRIPLE TAP over and over. So tap the screen three times. A red square with a silhouette of a bird will appear. Remember it.
40. You should get a notification for another Urgent Message (Update) from AVIARY. Open the email and click on the link www.avry.com/upd8.
41. It’s another blank page that says, “This page has no content.*” If you select the invisible text on the page, it says, “SILLY GOOSE, THERE’S STILL NOTHING.**”
At the bottom, it says ‘* Once again, having the words “This page has no content” on a page confirms that there is indeed content.’ And also, ‘** This time…’
42. Refresh the page. Highlight the invisible text and it says, “HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU, NOTHING SPECIAL WILL HAPPEN ID YOO KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS WEBSITE.**”
43. Refresh the page. Highlight the invisible text to see that it says, “WHAT ARE YOU THINKING, THAT EVENTUALLY IF YOU KEEP RELOADING THIS PAGE YOU MIGHT EVENTUALLY SEE SOME SORT OF SPECIAL INSTRUCTION THAT WILL SHOW YOU SOME SYMBOL OF A BIRD? THERE IS NOTHING FANCY ABOUT THIS WEBSITE.**”
44. Refresh the page. This time it says, “This page has content.*” and then “*You’re persistent, aren’t you?” at the bottom. Highlight the invisible text to see the words SWIPE LEFT repeated. So swipe left to see another bird inside a triangle.
(Achievement Alert!: For a bonus achievement, refresh the page two more times to get the “Page-Turner” achievement.)
45. Now let’s use the clue from the email to solve the Soar puzzle. We need to use the keypad to type out the numbers 1987. The catch is, the keypad keeps rotating while the numbers appear the same. The way you solve this is by paying attention to the arrow at the top and rotating your view so the arrow points up. Then imagine the numbers laid out as though the whole keypad were pointing in that direction. It’s hard to explain and it’s randomized each game, so I can’t really help you. But here’s a tip — the puzzle starts rightside up when you first open it, so 1 is easy and the 9, 8 and 7 will always be on the bottom row of whatever direction you’re facing.

Excellent write up!
How do I get into the apartment I have had trouble putting in the combination to the lock on her door I canΓÇÖt get past it?
How do you access the interceptor app? When I try to swipe the screen to the right , I can see the app but as soon as I try to select it, the screen goes back to the left so I canΓÇÖt see the app anymore.
