"Ah, my old classroom. Can't say I've missed it."
― Tigry, Breakout
The Desk Puzzle, also known as the Classroom Puzzle, is an obstacle exclusive to the character-focused chapter, Breakout. It is within a location that Tigry hallucinates upon entering one of the portals when completing the circle puzzle.
Appearance[]
The area appears to be Tigry's old classroom from one of the grades that he was in. At the front of the room is a locked door, the teacher's desk, and a green chalkboard saying "WE MISS YOU". The floor of the classroom features a 5x5 grid of squares. Some of the squares are black, and the corners have letters on them. There are also four desks scattered around the grid. Beyond the locked door is another door, but with a purple portal. On the wall is a code that will help with completing the chapter.
Solving[]
Scattered around the grid are four, color-coded, classroom desks, each saying "R", "G", "B", and "Y". On all four corners of the grid are squares, each saying one of the same letters, each letter stands for the colors (in order as stated), Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. To solve the puzzle, you must push the desks to their correct squares. For example, the "R" (Red) desk goes to the "R" (Red) square. Once you have all the desks above their corresponding squares, the locked door next to the teacher's desk will open, leading to the third code on a wall, and the exiting portal.
Scattered around the grid are many black squares, they act as a barrier for the desks and slowly push a hand out if you stand on them for too long. If you let the hand come out, a purple portal will open, and a purple Ombra bot will emerge. You are not able to push the desks over these squares.
