Hello all!
This is my second project on Planet Minecraft! This map features a gigantic 5 story escape room, completely jam-packed with redstone puzzles and contraptions that you need to solve to escape. There are a variety of puzzles for you to solve, including piston puzzles, a maze, pufferfish-powered puzzles, and a lot more! If you don't know too much about redstone, there is a tutorial at the beginning of the map that will explain the less common-knowledge redstone pieces you might need to know about. My goal with this map was to make it as fair as possible to the player, so almost all redstone is visible in some way or another. This means you don't have to randomly flick levers, hoping that something will happen; if you have common redstone knowledge, you will be able to understand what is going on with a little bit of thought. The application of that knowledge is the difficult part. The only redstone not visible is basic command block stuff and a tiny bit on Floor 1 to make sure people don't cheat.

Your goal is to collect an item on Floor 5 that will allow you to open the exit door on Floor 1. This map also features an option to switch between Easy Mode and Hard Mode before starting. Easy Mode is the basic 5 story escape room, while Hard Mode adds on a more difficult 6th floor required to escape. Though it applies the same basic concepts used in Easy Mode, the puzzle-solving requires a bit more out-of-the-box thinking and a few places are a bit more timing-based.

Overall, I am incredibly proud of this project, and I hope you all enjoy it! It took about 35 hours to create, and I spent over 100 hours playtesting and bug-testing it. Although it is much longer than my first escape room, I also find it much less frustrating and more rewarding. If you would like to check out the first though, it is on my profile. If you get stuck on this map, I will be (hopefully) posting walkthroughs on my Youtube channel relatively soon (link on my profile).

I thank you greatly for checking out this project. If you do manage to make it out, please tell me how long it took you in the comments! Enjoy!

BONUS: It is possible to escape on Hard Mode by collecting only 1 stick. I had to make it possible to collect more in case one despawns, but realized afterward that it opened up the option to collect more, and I don't have the command block knowledge to keep that from happening :P
