Escape Academy Bomb Puzzle Guide: How to Defuse Tea 'N Tea

Stuck on the escape academy bomb puzzle? Follow this complete walkthrough for the Tea 'N Tea level to solve codes, mix chemicals, and defuse the bomb.

Tackling the notorious escape academy bomb puzzle can feel like an overwhelming challenge when you first step into the quad. If you want to conquer the escape academy bomb puzzle without blowing up your entire campus run, you need a precise strategy to handle the time limit, decipher chemical formulas, and cut the correct wires. Coin Crew Games designed this level—known as Tea 'N Tea—to test every single puzzle-solving skill you have developed up to this point.

When you start this mission, you will notice an enormous military-grade explosive sitting right in the middle of the courtyard. The clock is ticking, and figuring out how to approach the device requires careful investigation of the surrounding vans, tents, and hidden clues. Whether you are playing solo or tackling the campus with a partner in co-op mode, this comprehensive guide breaks down every step required to solve the mechanics and save the day.

Unlocking the Main Device and Exploring [the Quad

Before you can solve any complex wiring or chemistry riddles, you need to open up the housing of the explosive itself. The campus quad features two key vehicles parked near the edges: a Police Van and a Florist’s Van.

Investigation of these vehicles yields the necessary items to begin your work. Inside the Police Van, you will discover the Police Keychain. Over in the Florist’s Van, you can pick up the Flowers Keychain.

Florist’s VanFlowers KeychainUnlocks the opposite side of the central bomb

Once you collect both keychains, return to the center of the quad and use them on the matching locks of the explosive device. Opening the casing reveals the inner workings of the machine and provides your first crucial document: the official Tea Recipe. Keep this document handy, as you will need its ratios shortly.

Solving the Left-Side Puzzle and Vehicle Access

With the casing cracked open, look closely at the lower portion of the left-hand side of the device. You will notice a small piece of white text indicating "900 AM." This is a direct audio clue pointing you toward the radio frequencies scattered around the courtyard.

Head back over to the Florist’s Van and adjust the radio station to 900 AM. You will hear an automated broadcast detailing a specific sequence: "Alpha up, Bravo down, Charlie down, Delta down, Echo up, Foxtrot up."

Left-Side Radio Sequence Breakdown

  • A (Alpha): Up
  • B (Bravo): Down
  • C (Charlie): Down
  • D (Delta): Down
  • E (Echo): Up
  • F (Foxtrot): Up

Apply this exact toggle configuration to the lettered switches on the left side of the bomb to secure that section.

Next, you must explore the blue police tent pitched nearby. Inspecting the noticeboard on the left side of the tent interior grants you the Campus Police Keycard. Head back to the Police Van, use the keycard on the rear doors, and gain entry to the back compartment.

Inside, you will find a periodic table on the wall. Outside near the workbench, a locked toolbox displays the chemical sign "NaNO." According to player experience and community reports, matching these letters to atomic numbers on the periodic table (Sodium = 11, Nitrogen = 7, Oxygen = 8) gives you the 1178 code needed to open the toolbox. Inside, you will find a Russian-English dictionary and a Bonilla’s Bouquets Keycard.

Mixing Chemicals and Creating the Door Buster

Now that you have the Bonilla’s Bouquets Keycard, head over to the Florist’s Van and use it to access the rear storage area. Here, you can collect the RDX chemical component and a Map of the Quad.

Return to the police tent and locate the locked briefcase featuring a teapot icon. A nearby note reads, "One cup of tea, just for me." To find the 3-digit code, look back at the Tea Recipe you found inside the bomb earlier:

  • 3 Bunches of Tea Leaves
  • 12 Spoonfuls of Milk
  • 9 Cubes of Sugar

Because the recipe makes three cups of tea, dividing those numbers by three for a single cup yields 1 bunch of tea leaves, 4 spoonfuls of milk, and 3 cubes of sugar. Inputting 143 into the briefcase unlocks it, granting you the Plasticizer and the Door Buster Recipe.

Door Buster Recipe Requirements:

Take your chemical components (RDX, Plasticizer, and the Solvent found in the back of the Police Van) to the mixing machine. Adjust the percentages according to the recipe rules: set RDX to 60%, Solvent to 10%, and Plasticizer to 30%. This produces the Door Buster Bomb. Take this explosive to the back of the white truck, place it, and step back to clear the obstacle.

Cracking the Right Side and Translating Russian Clues

With the path cleared, you need to configure the right side of the main bomb. Head back to the police tent noticeboard to view the required schematic showing a jerry-can-style box with a specific lighting layout:

Row PositionLight Pattern
Top RowWhite / White
Second RowBlack / White
Third RowBlack / Black
Bottom RowWhite / White

Replicate this exact light sequence on the right-hand panel of the main explosive device.

To figure out which wires to cut, you must locate the large yellow cube out in the quad. Use your newly acquired Russian-English dictionary to translate the text written on it, which reveals the phrase "3 Red Bouquets."

Consult your Map of the Quad to track down the six question-mark locations. Exploring these spots will lead you to three red flower bouquets hidden at coordinates A4, B6, and д2. Once found, grab the VHS tape from the area, take it back to the police tent, and play it on the VCR to project the defusing instructions on the screen.

Using your dictionary alongside the looping video, translate the highlighted colors that return a "yes" (дa) response. The video points you toward Yellow and Green.

Defusing the Explosive and Winning the Level

You have reached the final critical moment of the escape academy bomb puzzle. With your clippers in hand, approach the main device for the final disarming sequence.

According to official game data and cooperative walkthroughs detailed on platforms like Steam, precision is vital here. Look closely at the internal wiring panels on both sides of the machinery:

  1. Left Side: Cut the Yellow Wire based on the translated video feedback.
  2. Right Side: Cut the Green Wire to neutralize the secondary explosive circuit.

Once both correct wires are clipped, push the big red button to finalize the disarming process. The quad remains safe, your grade is secured, and you can move on to the next academic challenge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the solution to the escape academy bomb puzzle?

The puzzle requires unlocking both sides using vehicle keychains, configuring the left switches to match the 900 AM radio broadcast, mixing the Door Buster chemical ingredients to 60% RDX, 10% Solvent, and 30% Plasticizer, replicating the right-side lighting schematic, and cutting the yellow and green wires.

How do I find the toolbox code near the Florist’s Van?

Look at the "NaNO" sign behind the toolbox. Match these chemical symbols to their atomic numbers on the periodic table inside the Police Van (Sodium = 11, Nitrogen = 7, Oxygen = 8), which gives you the 4-digit code: 1178.

Where are the three red bouquets located on the map?

After translating the yellow cube text using the Russian-English dictionary, check your Map of the Quad. The three red flower bouquets are located at coordinates A4, B6, and д2.
