If you are struggling with this Hidden Town game we have answers in our complete Unwanted Experiment walkthrough guide below.

This interactive detective story is a thrilling ride from start to finish and has a variety of puzzles to complete. Although some answers change on different playthroughs, the solution to getting those answers will be the same. Our Unwanted Experiment walkthrough will show you how to get the right answer but not necessarily what that answer will be.

The Unwanted Experiment walkthrough begins as a strange scientist arrives in Hidden Town. The villagers soon start to see weird creatures moving in the dark near his home. They then discover he has a mysterious laboratory in the basement. One Hidden Town resident, Erik Dorian, wants to discover what this scientist is doing. As he sneaks around the entrance he is knocked unconscious.

Unwanted Experiment: Exploring the Basement

Our walkthrough for Unwanted Experiment begins as Erik awakens in the basement of the scientist’s house. The first thing you need to do is explore every room and item inside. Pick up what you can and then start to work out how to solve each puzzle.

• Tap on Erik to wake him;
• Tap the rope so Erik rubs it on the edge until it frays and breaks;
• Try the biometric keypad to discover Erik’s handprint won’t work;
• Look closer at the top of the bookshelf;
• Open the yellow book and turn the pages to see the picture of a flower;
• Check out the box on the lower shelf;
• Take the CD from inside;
• Tap the arrow on the right to go to the next room;
• Take the dart from the dart board;
• Pick up the paintbrush from the shelf on the right;
• Take note of the red book, the locked box and drawers;
• Tap the arrow on the right to go to the next room;
• There is nothing in this room to pick up so move to the next room;
• In this room there are two tables;
• Open the drawer on the right;
• Take the flashlight and the transparent sheet;
• Look closer at the images on the two notice boards;
• Tap the arrow to go back to the first room.

Locked Box Puzzle

• Find the red notebook again;
• Open it and tap the arrow to turn the page;
• Notice how the squares are arranged just like the pictures on the two boards;
• Select the transparent sheet in your inventory and choose the ‘grab’ option;
• Tap the page to place the sheet;
• Take note of the red lines on each page when the translucent sheet is on top:
  • Right side on top left square – one red line
  • Right side on top right square – three red lines
  • Left side on top right square – two red lines
  • Left side on top left square – four red lines
• The number of red lines corresponds with the chronological order of the squares and the symbols on each image;
• Go back to the room with the two noticeboards. Look at each of the images in this order:
  • Right board – top left picture
  • Left board – top right picture
  • Right board – top right picture
  • Left board – top left picture
• Each image has a symbol hidden on it, so note them down. These symbols will unlock the locked box in the room with the jail cell:

• Go to the room with the jail cell and find the locked box;
• Enter the symbols you found to unlock it;
• Take the fuse and the yellow key.

Fuse Box Puzzle

• Tap on the fuse box and insert the fuse;
• Head back to the room with the red notebook for the next clue;
• Flip through the pages until you find notes on an experiment to turn a man into a monster;
• Tap the image of the man to see the back of the image;
• Here you will find the clue to the order in which to press the buttons:
  • This order may change depending on your version. Just note which position the black buttons are in.
• Go back to the room with the fuse box;
• Press the buttons in order according to the last clue and take note of how many times each light blinks:
  • Again this may be different in your version so just note down the blinks for each button pressed. For example: 1st button – 3 blinks, 2nd button – 3 blinks, 3rd button – 4 blinks, 4th button – 5 blinks.
• This clue is then used to open the Roman numerals combination lock in the room with the jail cell. So with our example above we would set the combination as follows: III, III, IV, V
• Tap to see inside the cell and tap him to speak.

Antidote Puzzle

• Now we know the man’s name (Alex) and that his handprint will open the door to the lab. Before he can tell you the password to get the antidote, Alex turns into a creature. Unable to speak, he can only point to symbols:
  • He will always point to the same four symbols: Serpent, Square, Triangle, Circle. The order may differ in your playthrough.
• Use the symbols given to you by Alex to unlock the red box in the previous room;
• Take the scissors, bubblegum, and blue key. Now you should have two keys: yellow and blue;
• Go back to the room where you were first held. Use the yellow key on the washroom cabinet;

• Look inside the cell by tapping the bars;
• Now the wall is lit up and you can see four squares to the right:
  • The arrangement of the squares may be different in your playthrough but the clue is the same. The line drawn on each square represents the order of the squares. The position and order of the squares correspond with which buttons to press to unlock the safe in the room where we started.
• Go to the room with the washroom where we first began and tap on the safe. Tap each button as suggested by your own clue. For example, our clue (seen in the image above) shows the buttons should be pressed in this order: Top left, lower center, middle left, top right.
• Take the apple, bread, and chemical recipe;
• Go to the room with the jail cell;
• Tap on the cell door and see there is a bird to the right;

• Use the combo to fish for the feather by selecting the piece of chewed gum on the string and then tapping the feather;
• Head back to the room with the red notebook;
• Look through the book until you find the recipe and instructions for making the antidote with the apple, feather, and flower;
• Go to the laboratory room and tap on the table with the beakers;
