Are you stuck playing The Missing Detective in Escape Club: Escape Rooms on Roblox? This escape room has several puzzles that you need to solve to find the missing detective and escape the room. Some puzzles require you to find hidden clues, while others involve decoding passwords, identifying the correct suspect, and unlocking secret passages.
In this guide, I will show you how to complete The Missing Detective map step by step. We will go through all the puzzles, including the UV light puzzle, calendar code, secret bookshelf, suspect investigation, Caesar cipher, and final escape code.
Keep in mind that some codes and answers are randomly generated in each game. This means you cannot simply copy the numbers from someone else’s game. Don’t worry, though, because I will explain how to solve each puzzle so you can find the correct answers in your own run.
Escape Club Escape Rooms The Missing Detective Walkthrough
Step 1: Find the Key and Get the UV Light
The first thing you need to do is search the room for a hidden code that gives you a key.
Once you find the key, go to the table and use it to open the drawer.
Inside the drawer, you will find two important items:
- A UV light.
- A note with a hint telling you to shine the UV light on the map.
Pick up the UV light and use it on the map.
You will notice a purple line appearing on the map. This line contains the directions you need to unlock the next puzzle.
Step 2: Solve the Purple Line Puzzle
After shining the UV light on the map, carefully follow the purple line and write down every direction it takes.
For example, in my game, the directions were:
- Down
- Right
- Down
- Right
- Down
You need to enter these directions into the directional lock.
Important: The purple line is randomly generated, so your directions might be completely different from mine.
Make sure you follow the purple line in your own game instead of copying my answer.
Once you have written down all the directions, go to the directional lock and enter them in the correct order. Press the Open button to unlock it.
Inside, you will find some suspect information that will become important later.
For now, collect the record and take it to the gramophone.
Step 3: Play the Record and Find the Secret Bookshelf Order
Pick up the record you found and place it on the gramophone.
Playing the record will give you a message from the detective. The message tells you that you need to pull the books in a particular order to open a secret passage.
To find the correct order, you first need to unlock the safe hidden behind the painting.
However, the safe requires a combination, and you can find the numbers you need using the calendar.
Step 4: Solve the Calendar Puzzle and Open the Safe
Go to the calendar and carefully look for the red-highlighted numbers.
These numbers give you the combination for the safe behind the painting.
In my game, the highlighted numbers were:
- First number: 19
- Second number: 5
- Third number: 21
This gave me the code 19521.
Your numbers might be different, so make sure you check your own calendar before entering the combination.
Once you have the three numbers, enter them into the safe in the correct order.
After opening the safe, you will find two important items:
- Season Cipher Wheel.
- A book containing information about different cases.
Collect both items because you will need them for the upcoming puzzles.
Step 5: Find the Correct Bookshelf Order
Now that you have the book, you need to look at the different cases and arrange them from the oldest to the newest.
Pay attention to the years mentioned in the book and write down the order of all four cases.
In my game, the order was:
- Red Fox – 2021
- Black Cat – 2022
- Blue Rose – 2023
- Golden Mask – Newest case
Remember that the years and case order can be different in your game. Always check the information in your own book.
Once you have identified the correct order, go to the bookshelf and pull the books in that sequence.
For my game, the order was:
- Red Fox
- Black Cat
- Blue Rose
- Golden Mask
If you pull all four books correctly, a secret passage will open.
Step 6: Find the Detective’s Phone Number
After opening the secret passage, your next objective is to identify the correct suspect.
First, search the newly unlocked area carefully. You will find a phone number that you need to use.
In my game, the phone number was 21631.
However, this number is also randomly generated, so yours might be different.
Find the phone and enter the number displayed in your game.
After making the call, you will receive three important clues from the detective. Write them down because you will need to compare them with the suspect information.
In my game, the three clues were:
- The culprit is left-handed.
- The culprit smokes.
- The culprit was not at the Opera House at 9:00 PM.
These clues will help you eliminate the wrong suspects and identify the actual culprit.
Step 7: Identify the Correct Suspect
Now go back to the suspect information you collected earlier.
You need to compare each suspect’s details with the three clues from the phone call.
Let’s go through how I solved this puzzle.
First clue: The culprit is left-handed.
Check the handedness information for all four suspects.
In my game:
- Sir Edward: Left-handed
- Rosemary: Left-handed
- Morris the Butler: Left-handed
- Captain Jack Harper: Right-handed
Since the culprit must be left-handed, we can immediately eliminate Captain Jack Harper.
Second clue: The culprit smokes.
Now check which of the remaining suspects are smokers.
In my game, Rosemary does not smoke, so we can eliminate her as well.
This leaves only Sir Edward and Morris the Butler.
Third clue: The culprit was not at the Opera House at 9:00 PM.
For the final clue, check where the remaining suspects were at 9:00 PM.
In my game:
- Sir Edward was near the Warehouse.
- Morris the Butler was at the Opera House.
Since the culprit was not at the Opera House, Morris the Butler cannot be the correct suspect.
This leaves Sir Edward as the culprit in my game.
Go to the suspect selection area and vote for Sir Edward.
Once you select the correct suspect, you will successfully solve the investigation.
Important: Your culprit might be different because the suspect details and clues can change between games. Always use the three clues from your own phone call to identify the correct person.
Step 8: Enter the Crime Time on the Clock
After correctly identifying the culprit, you will receive the time of the crime.
In my game, the time was 11:35.
Now go to the clock and enter the time you received after solving the suspect puzzle.
Remember that your time can be different, so don’t automatically enter 11:35.
Once you enter the correct time, another escape route will open.
Step 9: Solve the Caesar Cipher Puzzle
After opening the escape route, you will find another locked briefcase.
To unlock it, you need to solve a Caesar cipher puzzle.
You will find a coded word near the briefcase. In my game, the encrypted letters were:
IODBH
Your code might be different, but the solving method remains the same.
Remember the Season Cipher Wheel you collected earlier? You will need it now.
Look at the hint provided with the cipher wheel. In my game, the hint was:
A = D
This means you need to move three letters backward in the alphabet to decode the message.
Let’s decode my example:
| Encrypted Letter | Move 3 Letters Back | Correct Letter |
|---|---|---|
| I | I → H → G → F | F |
| O | O → N → M → L | L |
| D | D → C → B → A | A |
| B | B → A → Z → Y | Y |
| H | H → G → F → E | E |
The decoded word is FLAME.
Use the cipher wheel to solve your own encrypted word and find the correct password.
Step 10: Open the Briefcase and Find the Final Code
Once you have decoded the word, enter it into the locked briefcase.
For my game, the password was FLAME.
After opening the briefcase, you will find the final code needed to unlock the escape route.
In my game, the final code was:
8245
Your code might be different, so make sure you check the number inside your own briefcase.
Enter your final code into the escape lock.
Once you enter it correctly, the final door will open, and you can escape the room.
Congratulations! You have successfully completed The Missing Detective in Escape Club: Escape Rooms on Roblox.
