" Manson had a devious knack for designing puzzles loosely based on things you would later find interesting on wikipedia. "

" I thought maybe you had something, that "bowl-and-pin" was slang for this type of umbrella. But then I googled "'bowl and pin' umbrella" and this page was the first result. "

" That's not really worth mentioning, though, since it has no foundation in reality. "

" You know, using Occam's Razor here... The bee and key on an unmarked door are probably there and obvious to signify to us to look for rhymes. The two most obviously connectable symbols on an unmarked door? They likely serve as, I don't know, a... "

" The AGONy of trying to solve Room 33. The rhymes do seem significant. I always want to make BEE + T into the drumbeat and the ring into the ring of the trumpet. "

" So there's this thing called a Doom painting, which is a painting of the Last Judgment on the wall of a chuch. Michelangelo's version in the Sistine Chapel is the most famous example (see Wikipedia for details). Anyway, an important common feature of these is... "

" And I continue to be convinced that the negative space between the candlestick and its shadow is meant to evoke a bowling pin on its side. One real bowling pin, two riddly bowling pins. "

" Maybe that's what the "sounds like" stethescope is there for. The position of the umbrella and other bowl mirror the position of the parasol. "

" Ve are all pictures of its creation "

" Heater is also another name for a certain type of shield or a fastball. "

" Shortstop, backstop, signs, heaters--yep, it checks out, the room is all about baseball. The next room has pitchers, you're "in the hole," room 7 has a field and the word "baseball" contains a hidden bull's head, guys, we did it, we solved the guide puzzle "

" The puzzle here might have something to do with spoonerisms? Rhymes, when spoonerized, simply create each other. Bee and key = key and bee Flagon and agon = agon and flagon Maybe the weird assemblage of symbols above door 3 is meant to create a... "

" Oh, I get it, a SHORT STOP. If this room had a baseball in it and the correct door was 23, this wouldn't make a bad puzzle. "

" - "Because no one wanted to stay here very long they missed the real sign while looking through the obvious." - Must’ve been a shortstop, indeed... "

" 1.34 or 3.14? Hmm... "

" And maybe a band of waites (or waits) would be able to play said instruments. "

" It’s too bad that upon entering MAZE, one can only go halfway. "

" May I explain an alternative explanation for the answer being room 30? If we look at the people sitting in the audience. If we assume the seats are numbered from seat ‘0’ being on the extreme right, and the numbers incrementing towards the right. Then... "

" It doesn't seem like doors being open or closed carries through rooms, though. The people could be statues, I guess... seems like it would be a boring life just holding signs in the Maze for a living. "

" I wonder what rooms the people holding the signs came from. Obviously one came from 5, because the door is still open in that room. "

" I think the Guide did it. Also, these stones were moved to Room 39 to block the only escape route from a certain room in the trap (probably Room 24). "

" Three of the four room connected here have notable blanks in them: -the blanks on the Y O U R sign in 17 -the blank beneath the bull horns in 7 -the blank poster (?) on the wall in 35 "

" Maybe just a generic horn, maybe one of a million specific horn types that look indistinguishable to me. Love to call it a salpinx, an ancient Greek horn that looks like this and has the same ending as “sphinx,” but I suspect this is just... "
