How do you activate the office area three lights?
Reach the mechanisms by using the platform passage, the upper-level lift route and the red route opened from Beta. Start with the platform passage to light the first lamp.
- Have one player open access for their partner.
- Create a platform inside the room and climb up to the passage.
- Go through the passage and activate the mechanism inside. One light above the Control room entrance comes on.
- Have your partner open the way out so you can continue to the other mechanisms.
The platform location is inside the office puzzle room. Use this route to reach the passage.

Have your partner operate the lift to get you onto the upper level, then activate the controls you can reach there.
- Find the lift and coordinate with the player who can operate it.
- Ride up while your partner controls the lift.
- Use the upper-level controls to activate the next mechanism. Check the Control room entrance for the second light.
The lift provides access to the upper office level.

How do you open the office area Beta door?
Coordinate at the window and keep access open for your partner to complete the route into the blue Beta area.
- After operating the upper controls, return to the route toward the blue area and locate the Beta door.
- Use the window route while the player maintaining access stays in position. If that player leaves too soon, the door can close and block the route.
- Coordinate the door controls with your partner, then enter the blue Beta area and find its lever.
Keep talking about where each of you is before moving. Both players trying to regroup too early can leave you unable to get back through the door.
How do you open the office area Control room door?
Have one player hold the lever inside Beta while the other reaches and activates the final control at the end of the red route.
- Leave one player at the Beta lever.
- Send the other player back through the central office area and into the red route.
- Follow the red route to its far end. Tell your partner when you are in position.
- Have the Beta player hold the lever to open access to the red-area control, then activate that control.
- Return to the Control room entrance and open the door after completing the mechanisms.
The useful handoff is at the red route's end: get the travelling player into position, then hold the Beta lever while they operate the control. You do not need both players to leave Beta and search the red route together.
Once you have opened the Control room, continue with the Lambda generator network.

You need to complete the mechanisms, including the final control reached through the red route. If you have already handled the platform and upper level, coordinate the Beta lever with your partner at the red route's end.
