‘Behind Bars’ is the second case of Chapter 2 in Rise of the Golden Idol that includes puzzles including; names, conference, victim, and events.
The aim is to give a hint-based experience that will lead you to the solution without automatically showing you how to solve it.
There are eight names to discover in “Behind Bars.” Namely, Patrick Kendal, Percy Sainsbury, Jimmy Beswick, Robert Pakenham, Jason Kempton, Daniel Utley, Jeremy Smith, Henry Wakefield.
There are five cells for the five prisoners, including the mystery one. You need to determine where they each reside.
In the escapee’s cell, you’ll need to do some secret message decoding, which is mercifully much simpler than it initially seems.
The secret message was encoded with: 281973.
The event is three sentences long, and can be solved mostly with visual cues once you get the rest of the puzzle down.
Arthur Blythe, who was in prison for murder, got out of his cell through a window, using the saw blade he got from Steven Aria. He entered the yard via a drainpipe and breached the fence using wire cutters he got from Percy Sainsbury. Finally, he climbed over the wall attaching sheets he got from Jimmy Beswick to the bars from his window.
Use clues from their information sheet in the office below to realize where each prisoner goes.
Consider that the names on the chalkboard don’t list in the way they appear.
