Some mark a starting point, from which you have to draw a continuous line through all the remaining squares, again without any overlapping, and with some squares blocked out to make the solution trickier to find. Some have you trying to draw links between pairs of like-coloured squares, so that the whole grid gets filled in without any overlapping. There are a few different varieties, but they tie in to a common theme of filling in blocks on a grid to form specific patterns. Those puzzle boxes are the main attraction in The Pillar, making up the majority of the puzzles you’re faced with and also delivering the most interesting brain-teasers to solve.
THE PUZZLE ESCAPE HOW TO
Figuring out how to summon all the pillars in each area and solve all their puzzle boxes is the key to making your way through The Pillar. Dotted around each new area are tall, red obelisks-the titular pillars-with a puzzle box or two on each side, and still more pillars hide beneath stone pedestals, waiting to be unearthed as you solve other environmental puzzles. The Pillar sees you travelling through a series of serene, brightly-coloured environments, solving a series of puzzles in order to open gates blocking the way forward. The Pillar: Puzzle Escape is a good example of that, with a variety of puzzles that range from satisfying to downright infuriating, but a meditative setting that keeps the frustration to a minimum. The design of the puzzle obviously contributes most to that, but the right setting and atmosphere can create a relaxing experience out of even the most obtuse puzzles. The line between a soothing, relaxing puzzle game is often a thin one.
