Cube Escape Paradox Walkthrough – Chapter 1
The start scenes are quite disturbing as it seems the detective has been kidnapped and took to a place with whom he isn’t familiar. On the other hand, he has lost his memory and doesn’t know enough about his past, except for his former foe.
Upon waking up when playing, I saw a girl who disappeared with another blink, which was surprising too and making the gameplay suspicious. Asides from the girl, waking up with asking where I am and who the girl was is annoying. Well, let’s get started to figure out what’s happening around with the help of the Cube Escape Paradox Walkthrough.
Firstly, you should go to the third room to discover a dressing table. Tap the table twice to discover two different boxes. Click on the right box and start to play a mini-game to unlock it. In short, the box holds pieces in random locations and your ultimate job is to drag those pieces to their accurate positions to open the box. Once done, the box offers you a photo paper that you can add to your inventory to use later. On the left side, there is another box that holds a key for you to discover.
- Now, you should move to the next room on the right side to collect a photo piece from behind the painting.
- Tap the right arrow to visit another room where you discover a wardrobe. Its first drawer reveals scissors, the second will bring a photo piece, while the third one has a pencil. Use a key from your inventory to open the 4th drawer that reveals a wooden cube.

Complete a Photo
After collecting all the missing pieces of a photo, you should go back to a room where a red sofa is available. On the left side of the sofa, there is a wardrobe that upon tapping may reveal an empty photo frame. Use all pieces from your inventory to complete the photo.
- Using all photo pieces from your inventory may reveal the detective standing behind a girl.
- Come out of the frame to collect a cigar, but don’t forget to remember the words written behind the painting “the Woman” and an image of the typewriter. For sure, you get that there is a connection between the woman and the typewriter.
Find Typewriter
In the next room on the right side, there’s a typewriter. Head to it and type the words you found behind the painting “the women.” After typing, a print comes out that upon getting tapped will assign you a task of filling color using the pencil. Once done, a second print comes out with the image of the main door where you have to escape at any cost, but for now, it is closed. Draw to fill the door and let the third image come out with the following questions: why do I keep thinking of her? I never met this woman, and it was just another murder case.
- Draw the pencil on the image to reveal what happened with the woman. The next scene is a bit horrible where the game displays to you how the woman was murdered.
- The next page reveals a key that you need to escape. Upon drawing the pencil, the key turns into a reality that you should keep in your inventory.
