I Over-Engineered a PUZZLE BOX to Confuse My Friends!

welcome back to multiplayer monday now this week our challenge was to build puzzles for our friends the concept of puzzle is pretty open-ended just whatever that means to you and i took that interpretation to mean a puzzle box so i have built a puzzle box that khan and mumbo are about to try to race to open up whoever can open up first is going to win and of course they've built their interpretation of puzzle for me to try out which you can find on their channels at some point later on today but before we present this puzzle box to them you're gonna want to know how it works because watching them try and struggle to figure this out is so much more entertaining when you know what they're not seeing so like any puzzle box the goal is to open it and fortunately enough the key is right here but the problem is you can see the key does not turn the lock all the way and uh you've got a lock picking thing here that doesn't seem to work yet and that is because this puzzle box with its four sides is designed to be done in a specific order one side at a time will then unlock the next side to be done so if you try to do this side uh by spawning in a glow bug here you can see a hydraulic press ends up crushing and killing your glow bugs unfortunately which means you are unable to actually complete that side so i'll explain that one later uh this is like a gear system side and unfortunately the gears are locked because there is this wooden rod sticking out from the box presenting this side from being done and that leaves this side which is indicated by the green light that this side is ready to go now the challenge with this side is you have to figure out where the cardboard blocks are there are four indicated by these uh lights here and you may be able to brute force it just by hitting every single block one at a time and just hoping you come across the cardboard block but in case you want to be a little bit smarter about it there is a hint built into this thing with the way that it's painted you may notice that this side is red and this side is blue however there are a couple of red blocks over on this side you may think that these red blocks have some type of significance and they do these are basically mirrors of each other so you notice that this one is three blocks in from the center so if you go one two three there's your cardboard this is two blocks so you go one two and there's your cardboard and the lights tell you how many you have left so then that one is mirrored over here that one is mirrored right here and that is how you solve the first side and then that unlocks the glow bug side which can be very very frustrating and takes a little bit of skill and timing so now you may notice that the glow bug is able to spawn in without getting crushed by the hydraulic press so the goal is to get the glow bug from this side all the way over to this side to trigger this sensor so what you want to do is uh use these buttons to spawn in some cardboard and then this button right here will actually open up the gate and close the second gate and now the challenge is the button also moves at varying speeds and in varying direction as you can see it just suddenly changed directions right there now there is an issue with the glow bugs is if they can't access the food for like five or so seconds they just straight up give up you may notice he's not chasing the food and that's what this button is for you can go ahead and get rid of the glow bug and spawn in a new one so now if i spawn in the glow bug and open up the door you can see he starts eating the cardboard but you got to keep the door open otherwise he's gonna get crushed so i'll go ahead and uh try again here gotta keep the door open for a really long time enough for him to get through oh and see i i messed up again this that's where the skill of this comes into play you really gotta be able to follow this very accurately wait for him to finish and start moving once he starts moving you can pretty much let go and let him go on his own now the problem with this is this door you have no control over it goes down four times quickly and then on a final time it goes a lot slower and has a bigger gap but if you don't approach it at the right time then this is going to be the fate of your glow bug so that's where this hint over here comes into play you may notice that there is a a light over here that kind of represents like a stop light if you spawn the bug in if you spawn the glow bug in right when the light hits green and then you just let him go at his normal speed through each one oh i narrowly narrowly did that in time but if he just goes in and eats one cardboard at each section you'll notice uh what happens here as he goes through i don't even got to do anything anymore i just gotta wait for him to keep going naturally through and because he spawned in and started right when that green light hits it looks close but there we go he makes it through and that unlocks this side over here which is one of the mechanisms that i'm more proud of coming up with this is an interesting puzzle so now you can just hammer that in and that'll no longer obstruct you so the goal here is to get both of these lights to turn on and stay on at the same time now in order to do that you've got two different sources of uh movement actually three different sources of movement here you can move this thing around which also moves the right one and you can also press this to disconnect it from the link so it will no longer move that one um and you can also press this button which as you can see uncovers the sensor at the top left but when you release the button that will start going back to cover the sensor because that sensor needs to detect this green pipe here see when i open this now the sensor is on but it's not going to stay on if i don't hold that button down so what do we got to do well you may notice that when one of these red pipes gets in front of the right sensor if i go really really gently here it actually pushes this light out which may seem like a problem right now because now i can't even open up this thing to reveal the sensor but that is where timing comes into play so what you got to do is first you have to line it up so you're almost going to trigger that sensor then you have to open this up as much as you can to give yourself the optimal amount of time and then while it's going back you have to nudge it in front of the sensor which then pushes that light out and now the sensor is completely exposed and blocked from being covered then you gotta move this over so it is not gonna move this red bar out of the way of that sensor and then you can move this back in place above that sensor just like that and now this side is unlocked so what you can do over here now is uh now you can use the lock pick so with the lock pick what happens is uh the closer you are this is kind of like skyrim lock picking or like dying light lock picking there's a certain position that this lockpick needs to be in in order to turn this and i've actually programmed this in a way i was very i'm very happy with how this turned out that the closer you get the further you can turn it before it stops you so it gives you an indicator on whether you're hot or or whether you're hot or cold so as you can see the more i move in this direction it seems like the closer i'm getting to the point where like oh almost there but then let's say you overdo it a little bit you can see i'm still almost there let's go a little bit further in this direction and oh now i'm getting a little bit colder so obviously it's in between somewhere where i just was not quite yet and that might be it and there we go the box is now open and a staircase comes out leading you up to the box but i will not show you what is actually in the box i will leave that for the moment when one of them actually solves it so let's hop over present this box to them and see how easy or hard it is from the figure out all of these complex puzzles all right you guys you ready to uh to try out my puzzle here i'm ready all right this is this is a puzzle box all you are going to need is your hammer wait we have to open the box yeah we just got to figure out how to open the box yeah just figure out what opens like the yeah the top at the top of the box will open once you figure it out we'll know when we open it yeah it's a puzzle box it's just yeah you just got to figure out how to open it i'm ready and three two one go okay we're allowed to like oh yeah just don't don't change settings on anything obviously just yeah just press buttons and switches when you hit this when you hit this gear you see if you see some freaking out stuff i don't know oh that might just might be multiplayer yeah why is that so i could destroy the the non that like i can destroy the cardboard like you're saying like i mean you can use your hammer yeah that's a key this is a key i'm trying to turn the hmm doesn't seem like you can unlock it yet that's broken there's a red button you sounded like it was dangerous batman when you go on like a quest and you like haven't completed a free part of the quest it's like you can't unlock this door yet i just killed a glow bug you murderer i can't believe you've made me do that yeah this is the trauma box it uh it just gives you traumas gradually as you try to uh explore it khan's doing a brute force method over here he's uh brute force method some of them you can't tell which ones are which and i i've i've got is there's something i don't [Music] is it just the two like there's no way right like [Music] there's something it might just be no see there's four there's four see there's four lights there why is why are you shining bright light on me mumbo can we what the heck i'm just trying to take a closer look at what you're doing [Music] okay there's there's clearly is there a clue somewhere where are the others it makes sense if there were clues right it would make sense there has to be a clue there has to be a clue somewhere okay you know what what's over here what is this what does it all mean what does it all mean why is this oh that makes oh that oh i made mistakes okay i killed the glow bug i got you i understand that has to i get it that has to be up and then the globe okay okay i got you oh wait a second i'm wait a minute that kills me every time that's not doing what i thought it was very fun i'm murdering this but i put it off the robot [Laughter] okay i got it is that lit up i can't i can't oh what was that huh huh something happened over here how am i supposed to wait a minute how am i supposed to hold this and then do that and then i'm getting some transparencies here why do i see oh it's the there's no way that's nonsense [Music] there's got to be something telling me [Music] why is that oh there's no what the okay i understand this that's what that is but like i'm not going back to the painting wall i don't wanna no that's where i'm at i'm right now and i'm feeling alone do this okay none of these are i only i broke one okay i can do that am i actually hitting where i'm supposed to be hitting right now i don't understand yeah khan what are you doing mumbo just coming over to check out i don't understand oh that's that's not even at the same at the right height uh why okay so that's like an unlocked thing and that does that this is so very confusing this is the most con what oh i see if i have that i want to do that so that won't turn that one though that's locked still what does this one do again wait that doesn't it keeps useless that's sick oh i just noticed that there's a block there oh you're like a sound coming out of that dude there's like four walls and i haven't even been able to solve any of those all right i'll give you i'll give you one hint um the walls will not work unless you've uh done a pre-requisite so only one wall is one that you can successfully do right now [Music] yeah and once you maybe in a little bit then you can do another one oh this this this wasn't there before oh there's a thingy that pushes you okay um i'm trying to think about how long to wait till i give you guys like a necessary hint on where you should be focusing hey you've already made some you both made some progress you have both made some progress i'll say that right now it feels like it you know it feels like i'm making progress the problem i have is i don't know how to get this to stay open um i can just get a glow bug in there with that staying open why some of these go you stupid [Music] dude the cat can i use a lift to get up higher on this wall you don't need to no you don't need to i'll tell you right now you are both tied you are both tied to progress congratulations move over tied for last place yep that's good i'll take it yeah we are we are doing well there is no more cardboard on this wall but i only see two of four yeah you're you're seeing what i'm seeing yeah all right i'll let you guys know that right now you're both working on the correct wall that you need to be working on now and there is a hint to tell you what you should be doing there's a hint yep there's four lights at the top like clearly well i mean like yeah that's not a hint though is it is that no well that tells you how far you've gotten that's just a yeah that's like an indication of what to do [Music] but there's a hint i swear i've hit everything if you just if you just pay attention to like design elements of what you're looking at like things aren't random things aren't quite as random as you might think you get it oh khan i think it's khan's figure yep khan figured it out he figured out the pattern okay this wall's next this one's next i just got one accidentally mumbo's just brute force are not dying anymore what so that one don't die hello listen listen we're doing this with numbers okay let's go boys wow go to the top nobody talk about brute forcing his way through all right perfect top right of every single one all right i need more more no that wasn't good okay we need you know what you can do it hero you are the hero glowbug [Music] come on okay i gotta get oh there i just got it accidentally okay oh congratulations brute forced it got it come on it counts come on come on come on okay well we're losing we're losing casualties here dude if you don't make it what is what's making oh god so lucky he got so lucky on one of the hardest ones oh so i will let you know that if uh if a glow bug stops moving because it just gives up just use the red button to kill it and respawn that's what they're right that's what the red button's for khan didn't even need it oh okay okay so now these guys gotta eat out faster i got him oh this wall okay so this one yeah that [Music] oh i can push that why does it switch directions oh wait i need this i need spud there we go cardboard when does it switch oh it's slowing down oh mumbo's making some progress there we go okay he's just gonna eat the one wait this is like a timed one khan's trying to figure out how this side works wait how did that why did that this is just luck based is it wait oh there he's going this is all up to you man [Music] [Laughter] so lucky almost didn't make it so like wow for some reason i see the one light going on but i can't figure out where it's why it's why what's triggering it so this is this wall even like it just did it there why did [Music] this is spinning okay oh come on come on no it just did it again what is that what is causing that there's nothing in front of it it's just it just randomly decides it wants to play come on let's go let's go keep spinning whoop [Music] wait what does this button do again why what's the point of that why it's like it's washing something i can hear it's like a washing machine did you not see it do anything when you were pressing it why see that okay as long as you know it's not just a noise no i i see that yeah it's just it's not really it doesn't it's not telling me i don't understand what this can we also talk about scrap why is it doing that it's got to be you don't know this one it pushes the one light out and the other one lights up but i can't figure out why like how to get it to do it oh wait is it just what what is it what i think it is is it just every rotation like i don't [Music] there's a little bit at a time also can we talk about scrap man making the button on the moving part it really hurts my feelings yeah it's a little it's not just the puzzle there's also some skill elements to it yeah that's just great oh move just move more we're gonna do that i don't know [Music] the thing underneath the thing but i don't understand how to okay how to do that this yeah i'm i'm just so confused as to what's causing that wait no okay almost oh i think one goes on to something here no now you guys are just working together you might as well if you press this button here see i feel like i know what i'm doing but at the same time it's like oh i got that to stay wait am i over oh wait could i is this just like but like how does that help me okay what if i do that there's clearly like a spot you know where the one has to and then maybe if i just like wheel of fortunate you know it might just oh oh my god i just wheel a fortune this oh my goodness mumbo i can't believe i just saw that did you see that i didn't see that and then this goes here wait did you oh my god oh my goodness it's a wheel of fortune today he just solved that side he's on the last side now wow okay wait what am i i'm picking a lock i'm picking a lock wait i don't know how to pick lock boom i'm trying the wheel of fortune method i feel like you're supposed to get like this thing oh i think i get it i think i get this i can't tell if i'm like what's what's happening oh mumbo's closed moonbow was close [Music] i'm gonna leave that there that oh oh mumbo has solved the puzzle box there's a staircase for me and everything and there's your prize moonbow there is your prize and a suspension mug and wedges don't forget the wedges the wedges are important fortunate too i just smacked the one wheel as fast as possible while holding the other button and yeah it just worked it i had both lights on for a second did you well mine landed on it now this one's no longer lit up it was lit up it was when both lights are lit up then you can do the other side but they have to stay lit up well oh are you gonna try it up don't hit me i'll do this too oh i was like freaking out red parts on this i do i see them freaking out as well oh yeah there might be a little bit of a multiplayer oh look the timing works guys it i fixed the timer all right congratulations you got it now you can go on to the next portion okay i gotta just i gotta just pick a lock was this uh like skyrim is it skyrim where you like it's got a little bit closer yep the closer you are to the position the further you can rotate the lock yes yeah there was another game like that dead uh dying light did the same yeah yeah [Music] oh oh well that's a little better oh getting closer but like you could snap lock picks too so yeah this one this one's the uh invincible lock pick here okay well hold on yeah you've mastered oh that's good [Music] suspension mug ducks and wedges it's all for you except actually sorry you you don't actually get this because you came in second you you you had to finish first yeah i'm taking them through yeah i'll grab those there we go perfect that's what it's all about right there nice yeah that was awesome that's really cool yeah and you guys both i can't believe you both got so lucky on this glow bug section because timing this last wall if you don't get there at like just the right like two second interval then you pretty much can't do it yeah it'll he'll get squished every single time so you guys both happen to get like your first glow box because there's a random moment where it stops for longer yeah why is it doing that that was cool i liked it it was a really fun one yeah very very well made thanks for playing well i hope you guys enjoyed this episode of multiplayer monday if you did don't forget to check out their channels i'll leave a link down in the description once their videos are up as well so you can see what kind of puzzles they challenged me to solve and how good or bad i did at solving their puzzles if you have any suggestions for other types of challenges or themes you'd like us to build for each other let me know down in the comments below hope this video has earned your subscription anyway this has been scrap man and i'll see you next time bye [Music]
