In this post, I’ll show you how to complete the Flowers Puzzle, also known as the Forgets-Me-Nots puzzle, in the DOORS Archives update. At first, this room can be pretty confusing because you need to carefully remember what the first room looks like before moving forward.
The main idea is simple: you enter a room, look around and remember its details, and then enter the next room. You need to check whether anything has changed. If you spot an anomaly, you need to turn around and go back. If everything looks exactly the same, you can continue forward.
I’ll explain how the puzzle works, what kinds of changes you should look for, and how I personally make it easier to spot the differences without accidentally choosing the wrong door.
How to Do the Flowers Puzzle (Forgets-Me-Nots) in DOORS Archives Update
When you reach the puzzle room, you’ll need to pay close attention to your surroundings. The room contains small flowers and several other details that can change when you move into the next room.
Your first room acts as your reference point. Before going through the next door, I recommend taking a moment to look around carefully and remember what you see.
I personally find it easier to stand in a corner of the room and scan everything from one position. If you want to make things even easier, you can take a screenshot or picture of the room so you have something to compare against later.
Once you’re ready, go through the next door and carefully inspect the new room.
Check the Next Room for Anomalies
After entering the next room, your main job is to compare it with the first room.
If nothing has changed, you should continue forward.
However, if you notice any difference or anomaly, you need to go back through the door instead.
The changes aren’t always obvious, so don’t just look for one specific thing. The game can change different parts of the room, which means you need to examine the entire area.
For example, you might notice that:
- The lighting is different.
- A plank has changed color.
- The floor looks different.
- A wet-floor sign has appeared or disappeared.
- The walls have a different appearance.
- A flower has moved or changed.
- The chairs have different colors.
- A train is missing.
- A light behind the train in the tunnel has changed or disappeared.
These are just some of the differences you can encounter. The important thing is to compare the entire room instead of assuming the puzzle only changes one particular object.
Pay Attention to the Flowers
The flowers are an important part of this puzzle, so make sure you don’t completely ignore them while checking the room.
When you first enter the puzzle room, look around for the small flowers and remember where they are. When you enter the next room, check those areas again.
A flower on the floor can be one of the details that tells you something has changed. This is why I recommend taking a few seconds to memorize the room before moving forward.
You don’t need to memorize every tiny detail individually, but knowing the general arrangement of the room makes spotting an anomaly much easier.
Watch the Lighting Carefully
Lighting is another major thing you should check.
In my run, one of the rooms had noticeably different lighting. The room looked darker than the original, which immediately suggested that something wasn’t right.
So, whenever you enter the next room, don’t just look at objects. Take a quick look at the overall brightness and lighting as well.
If the first room was bright and the next one suddenly looks much darker, that’s enough of a difference to make you turn around.
Check the Walls, Chairs and Other Objects
You should also pay attention to the smaller environmental details.
For example, the walls might look different from the first room. The chairs can have different colors, and objects around the room may be changed, removed, or moved.
This is why simply remembering the location of the flowers isn’t always enough.
I recommend doing a quick scan in the same order every time. You can check the walls, floor, flowers, furniture, lighting, tunnel, train, and other noticeable objects.
Doing this consistently makes the puzzle much easier because you’re less likely to overlook something.
Check the Train and Tunnel
One of the easier anomalies to miss can be around the train and tunnel.
In one example, there was a light visible in the tunnel behind the train in the original room. When I entered the other room, the environment had changed significantly: the train was gone and the lighting was turned off.
That kind of change means you should immediately go back.
So whenever you reach this section, take a quick look toward the tunnel and check whether the train, lights, and surrounding area match what you saw in the first room.
What to Do When You Find an Anomaly
If you notice even one difference between the first room and the current room, go back.
You don’t need to find multiple anomalies. One confirmed difference is enough.
For example, if the original room had a certain wall appearance and the next room has different walls, turn around and go back.
The same applies to lighting, flowers, chairs, the train, or any other environmental change.
What to Do If Nothing Changed
If you’ve checked the room and everything matches your original room, you can safely move forward.
The key is:
Room matches → Go forward
Room is different → Go back
Keep repeating this process until the puzzle is completed.
Tips for Completing the Puzzle Easily
Here are the things I recommend doing when you reach the Flowers Puzzle:
- Take your time in the first room. Don’t immediately rush through the door.
- Stand in a corner so you can get a good view of the room.
- Take a screenshot if you have trouble remembering details.
- Remember the flowers and their locations.
- Check the lighting in both rooms.
- Look at the walls and floor for visual changes.
- Check the chairs and other furniture.
- Look at the train and tunnel carefully.
- If anything looks different, go back.
- Only move forward when the room matches.
The Flowers Puzzle in the DOORS Archives update is actually pretty straightforward once you understand its rule. Your first room is the reference, and every room after that needs to be compared against it.
If the next room looks exactly like the first one, go forward. If you notice any anomaly or difference, go back.
The most important thing is not to focus only on the flowers. Check the lighting, walls, floor, chairs, train, tunnel, and other objects because the anomaly can appear in different parts of the room.
Once you get into the habit of carefully comparing each room, you should be able to complete the puzzle without too much trouble.
