Introduction
Come on in if you have problems solving any of the puzzles in Imbroglio. This guide provides
  • an embedded video walkthrough with time stamps, and
  • spoiler-hidden hints and screenshots of intermediate steps
for every puzzle in each puzzle world. Choose the world you're interested in with the index on the right and you will find time-stamped YouTube links for the entire world and for separate puzzles as well as spoiler-hidden hints and screenshots of intermediate steps. As regards these screenshots, it should be noted that I tried to choose steps significant not only in terms of what has been accomplished so far but also in terms of what should be done next.

I am aware that there may be more efficient ways to solve some of the puzzles. Also, the steps given for some of the puzzles differ from the video solution because I found an easier way to get to the key after completing the video.

Feel free to comment about anything you may find noteworthy especially if some information is incorrect or a link does not work. I'd be happy to hear from you :)

FINALLY, this is still work in progress because I still need to add hints to most puzzles. I just wanted to throw this out there already for the time stamps that I cannot really provide on the YouTube page.

World 4
Time-stamped YouTube link for World 4.

Puzzle 1


- Time-stamped link to YouTube video -
Hint:Seriously? If you've made it this far you shouldn't need a hint here. Just make sure not to step in the spikes :)

Puzzle 2


- Time-stamped link to YouTube video -
Hint:You will have to cross the trap on the right side at least once if you want to solve this puzzle.
Steps:
1.
2.

Puzzle 3


- Time-stamped link to YouTube video -
Hint:With this one you can actually work your way backwards. Figure out what is the last step required to get the cube on the platform and ask yourself which specific steps are necessary before that. Note that the access to the platform is very limited which significantly reduces your options.
Steps:
1.
2.
3.

Puzzle 4


- Time-stamped link to YouTube video -
I mention in the video that this puzzle is tedious. In fact it isn't really ... it's just that I had not yet found the simple way to significantly reduce steps in this puzzle while keeping the same general approach. Sorry for that!
Hint:There are only two ways to get the cube on the platform. You should choose the shorter one. ;)
Steps:
1.
2.

Puzzle 5


- Time-stamped link to YouTube video -
Hint:It is a long way to the platform for the cube. But at least there is only one possible way. You just need a single block and a column of two blocks at the bottom to steer the cube ... and lots of moving these blocks around.
Steps:
1.
2.
3.

Puzzle 6


- Time-stamped link to YouTube video -
Hint:Difficult to give a hint here given that I think there are many possible approaches top this one. But the one thing you will have to do in all approaches is to get a second cube close to the back wall so that you can get two colums of blocks.
Steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Puzzle 7


- Time-stamped link to YouTube video -

Steps:
1.

Puzzle 8


- Time-stamped link to YouTube video -
