"Escape Shack Station" is a Chapter 1 objective in Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School in which the player must board the tram. To succeed, the player must collect $3, solve a symbol puzzle referencing the tram stops map to discover the destination code (9625), unlock the station gates, and enter the password "STEAM" to board the tram. This guide walks through each step in order.

Overview

Your goal at Escape Shack Station is simple to state and multi-step to execute: gather enough money for a ticket, work out the destination code for Escape Academy, print a ticket, pass through the gates, and open the tram doors. The record lists the destination code as 9625 and the puzzle solution as triangle, cog, and square for the ticket machine dials, with STEAM as the tram combination lock.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. Solve the symbol puzzle at the ticket kiosk machine

Look at the machine near the ticket kiosk. It requires three symbols to be entered on its rotating dials. To find them, look at the tram stops map on the wall to your left — the symbols on the map match the ones you need [src-0dc02cf791].

Around each rotating dial on the machine are coloured lines: red and yellow, blue and red, and blue and yellow. Using the tram stops map, find the places where these lines intersect. The symbol at each intersection is the one you input into the corresponding dial. The solution used in the walkthrough was triangle, cog, and square [src-0dc02cf791].

2. Note the destination code

Solving the dial puzzle reveals the destination code for Escape Academy: 9625 [src-0dc02cf791].

3. Collect $3

You need $3 in total to buy your ticket. The three dollars are found as follows [src-0dc02cf791]:

• First $1: Open the phone box.
• Second $1: Crawl through the open vent.
• Third $1: Find it on top of the phone box — climb up using the luggage to the side.

4. Buy your ticket

Go to the ticket kiosk and click the yellow slot to insert the money. Then type in the destination code (9625), followed by the tick. Take the ticket from the green slot [src-0dc02cf791].

5. Open the gates

Go to the gates and use the ticket on the slot to open them up [src-0dc02cf791].

6. Open the tram doors

Input the word STEAM in the combination lock above the tram doors to continue [src-0dc02cf791].

7. Board the tram

Climb aboard the tram and pull the lever [src-0dc02cf791]. This completes the objective and moves you on to the next part of Chapter 1.

Tips

• Do the dial puzzle first. Solving it early gives you the destination code (9625) you'll need at the kiosk, so you aren't backtracking between the machine and the map.
• Check all three money spots. The third dollar on top of the phone box is easy to miss — use the luggage to the side to climb up [src-0dc02cf791].
• Mind the order at the kiosk. Insert the money at the yellow slot first, then enter the code and confirm with the tick before collecting your ticket from the green slot [src-0dc02cf791].
• The two lock codes are different. The ticket machine dials use the symbols (triangle, cog, square), while the tram door lock uses the word STEAM — don't mix them up.

Rewards

Completing this objective opens the station gates and the tram doors, allowing you to board the tram and pull the lever to continue [src-0dc02cf791]. The record does not list any additional items or achievements for this quest.
