Hi, and welcome to my guide to 5 Minutes Until Self-Destruction. Since most of the puzzles are randomized, I can't tell you what code to put in which lock, or even puzzle solutions. But I can tell you how to solve each puzzle, in case you get stuck. Not useful? You should still check out the solution to Puzzle 4, because there is a guaranteed way to solve it each time (in fact, I almost did this guide only on Puzzle 4, since it doesn't have significant RNG).

Puzzle 1
The first puzzle is a simple, don't touch the walls type of maze. Move the blue dot to the green dot without touching the walls. Ignore the countdown timer and go slowly.

---

Puzzle 2
Here, you're flipping the lines to form an unbroken line from the blue dot to the green dot.

Puzzle 3
This puzzle is like a tuner on a radio, slide the green dot from left to right until you can hear someone calling out a 3 digit code

Puzzle 4
Most of the other puzzles have significant RNG, but because which gates move other gates stays the same, you can use the same strategy every time. Simply line up the gates in the walls in the order shown below.
In other words, move the gate in the wall marked one to the center, then wall 2, 3, 4, and 5. No matter what position the gates start in, this will allow you to solve the puzzle in short order.

Puzzle 5
This puzzle is a sequence memory puzzle. You have to click the squares in a certain order to make them light up. There is no rhyme or reason here, just brute force the solution.

Puzzle 6
This is another sequence memory puzzle. You have to trace a line from the blue dot to the green dot, but only some connections are valid. The hot tip here is to use your mouse, because the arrow keys are too slow. The next code displays above the puzzle.

Puzzle 7
This is puzzle is similar to puzzle 3, except you're trying to line up 3 frequencies until you can hear another code. I solved this by moving each slider until I heard a very low pitched frequency.

Puzzle 8
Quickly enter and progress through the following screens. Select "System Control," "Self-Destruction," "Abort Sequence," "Return," "Return," "Escape Pod," "Unlock Escape Pod Door."

Then calmly walk to the escape pod and press the big red button. Congratulations!
