Escape Academy: How To Complete Trial By Taste | Walkthrough Pt. 6

The kitchen is a very dangerous place in Escape Academy. What starts as a simple milkshake hunt becomes a race against the clock as you try to find an antidote. And the puzzles are getting even more obscure — you’ll need to search through every shelf and pile to get the items you need. The kitchen isn’t the only place you’ll go. The entire Dining Hall is open to explore, filled with secret compartments and maddening puzzles. Make mental note of everything you see. You never know what’ll be important and when.

Trial By Taste | Part 6

Unlock The Platter

You have 10:00 minutes to solve this milkshake mystery. You need to find three hidden keys to open the Silver Platter.

• Start by collecting the [Funky Fork] from the plate on the conveyor belt.
• Use the [Funky Fork] to open the center lock on the Silver Platter. That’s one out of three done.

• Go to the Microwave near Jeb. Look inside — there’s meat and another fork.
• Check the Microwave Poster for cooking instructions. Collect the [Fire Extinguisher] from the wall near the poster.
  • MICROWAVE CODE: [3:35]

• The Microwave will open. Use the [Fire Extinguisher] to collect the second [Funky Fork]. That’s another key to open a lock on the Silver Platter.

• The last [Funky Fork] is in the dirty dishes to the right of the Platter. Use all three [Funky Fork] keys to open the locks and drink the Milkshake.

Find The Antidote

  • CONDIMENT RACK CODE: Turn like a safe key to cardinal directions. [North (Start) – East (Right) – West (Left) – South (Right)].
  • You have to turn the rack in the specific direction listed above. It works like a dial lock.

• Collect the [Antidote Recipe]. You’ll need it soon.

  • HIDDEN KEYPAD CODE: [Up – Right – Up – Down]

• Ride the Dumbwaiter down, using the lever, and collect the [Staff Key].
