Quadrilateral Quiz Dungeon

You are exploring your new home, and have been trapped in a room.  The goal is to escape the room, which has this wall with a pattern:

They are exploring their new home, and have been trapped in a room.  The goal is to escape the room, which has this wall with a pattern:

On the opposite wall are five doors, each with the shape of a four-sided quadrilaterals on them, but no knobs or keyholes.  In order, they have:

1. Four long sides that are equal in length (looks like two isosceles triangles stuck together)
2. Four short sides that are equal in length (looks like two equilateral triangles stuck together)
3. Four sides that are slanted, with each opposite side parallel to each other
4. Two parallel sides and two diagonal sides
5. Two sides of equal length (diagonal) that join together (looks like an equilateral triangle and isosceles triangle stuck together)

Players must answer: with all the shapes present, how many squares can be seen or created on this wall?

Answering this question correctly open one square in each player’s color(s).  Inside is a key shaped like a:

• Orange: rhombus
• Yellow: parallelogram
• Blue: trapezoid
• Green: kite
• Red: diamond

They must then match each key to the correct door, and then escape.

Solution: 

For the answer to the wall puzzle, see the puzzle solution zine or powerpoint (but to be brief, the number is 35).  Here is the answer to the key puzzle:

Rhombus (Orange): Four long sides that are equal in length (looks like two isosceles triangles stuck together)

Parallelogram (Yellow): Four sides that are slanted, with each opposite side parallel to each other

Trapezoid (Blue): Two parallel sides and two diagonal sides

Kite (Green): Two sides of equal length (diagonal) that join together (looks like an equilateral triangle and isosceles triangle stuck together)

Diamond (Red): Four short sides that are equal in length (looks like two equilateral triangles stuck together)

A geometry puzzle that can be played solo or with a group. Made for the following game jams:

• ABC Jam (main jam for this.  According to the website, this should be a sufficient puzzle for students Year 4 and higher)
• Puzzle Dungeon Jam (I wanted to make a more complex puzzle, but I don't have the bandwidth for it; I hope this will suffice)
• Tumblr 200 Word RPGs 2025 (helped me keep this short, sweet, and manageable)
• POWERPOINT- It is secretly a powerful game engine... (LOVED working with powerpoint again, it was really cool!)
• Sunday Zine Club #17 (inspired the "new home" idea)
• First Step: A TTRPG Game Jam (same as previous)
