" Over the last 7 years, my music taste has gotten better (or worse). I was listening to Fievel is Glauque's 4000 Rooms the other day and it struck me as the Maziest song I'd ever heard, both in lyrical content and the heady puzzlement of... "

" I don't think it's likely that Manson selected the phrase "devilry thirty eight" and worked backwards to a puzzle, and the manner of assembling this phrase makes it seem even less likely. It does stick out like a sore thumb that you can spell THIRTY... "

" Considering 38 is part of a Three-Room Oubliette with 22 and 43, this checks out. "

" update: found colourized versions, not sure what to actually do with them. "

" “…the more they think about the possibilities the more choices they have to make.” This has all been said before, but IMO forthright means take the doors on the right, and the center tree divides Room 5 into left and right doors. The guide is... "

" I think there are 3 themes to this room: music, devils and planets. Given the hints regarding silence and "tone" being a distraction, music is probably not it. There are multiple clues towards Saturn, however Saturn -> Atlas is a Riddle clue so it's probably... "

" I believe there are 2 primary sets of clues in this room. The first set is curling. The girl points at her hair (curls) and the horns are wavy/curly. The statue's face look like curling rings, with the navel (belly button) + button mushrooms giving... "

" A few further correspondences that point toward door 23: Earth’s axial tilt is currently about 23.44°. If the answer to the Riddle of the Maze is World (the planet Earth/globe), then door 23 may correspond to this Earth-related value: the obliquity of the ecliptic, which... "

" Love this interpretation, especially how it connects the clues across the room. The word “taxidermy” (the bear in this situation)—defined as “the art of mounting the skins of animals”—almost directly suggests de-skinning (removing the S). It makes sense to me as an explanation for why... "

" in the text, the guide says "choose then!", a phrase that sounds identical to "choose ten", the correct door. The paperclip with the string resembles an improvised fishhook, suggesting the danger of choose door 24. The bullseye suggest bull's eye, wich is a clue for... "

" The text strongly suggest that visitors feel unconfortable in this room due to its theme: "time". The paragraph mentions the visitor's fear that it might be a different day from what they originally thought, and the guide reinforces this idea by stating that time pass... "

" I don't think anyone has mentioned the trap doors explicitly in this room, I think it's a good observation. And there is no trap door below the correct door. "

" The dancers next to door 14 imply moving around or shuffling? Shuffling the digits of 14, or making them dance around, gives 41, the correct door??? This might be a stretch, but that's something I figured out. "

" I suspect the whole room is just indicating "red herring." The pictures give you herring, and the thrater curtains, pitchfork, and "stop sign" are red things. Problematically, we have an octagon, but hardly a stop sign; theater curtains are traditionally red, but for aome reason... "

" One common characteristic all greek heroes have, besides being Heroes, is hubris, or hybris, or even υβρις, the courage and bravery to defy odds. That's another letter H word, even though in greek it has a mark that indicates it as the H was not... "
