Escape Academy Locker Combination - How to Open Your Locker

Your student locker in Escape Academy 2: Back 2 School doesn’t actually use a combination lock—it requires a key. During the “Locker’d and Loaded” section in Chapter 1, Headmaster Solange gives you both a locker key and an orientation checklist. To open your locker, you need to find your student number first, then locate the matching locker.

However, several other locks and lockers throughout the game do require combination codes. This guide covers your main student locker plus all the important lock combinations you’ll encounter in the early chapters.

Finding and Opening Your Student Locker

After speaking with Headmaster Solange at the start of Chapter 1, you’ll receive a locker key. Here’s how to find and open your locker:

1. Go left in the corridor until you find the portrait wall
2. Locate your own portrait—it displays your unique student number
3. If you forget what your character looks like, check the restroom mirror
4. Find the locker with the matching number (the walkthrough example shows locker 3517)
5. Use the key from your inventory to open the locker
6. Take the $3 from inside

The student number and locker number are randomly assigned to your playthrough, so your specific number will differ from other players’ experiences.

Dormitory Door Combination Code

Before you can reach your dorm room, you need to unlock the dormitory door itself. This lock requires a three-digit combination based on card suit symbols.

Solution: 346

Here’s how to solve this puzzle:

1. Go through the door to the lobby from the main corridor
2. Go upstairs to find the dormitory door with a padlock
3. Note the clue on the lock: spade, heart, club
4. Find the three founders’ portraits—one on each floor of the building
5. Each portrait represents a different suit (spades, hearts, clubs)
6. Count the number of each symbol on the portraits:
   • Spades: 3
   • Hearts: 4
   • Clubs: 6
7. Input the code 346 into the padlock
8. Enter and find your dorm room door matching your student number

Chapter 4 Detention Locker Combination

In Chapter 4’s “Pay close detention” section, you’ll encounter another locker that requires a combination code.

Solution: 9542

To solve this:

1. Leave the detention room and look at the board on the wall to the left
2. Find the tiles showing the “Giving Spoilers” number
3. Rearrange these tiles to create the largest possible number: 9542
4. Go to the locker on the other side of the corridor
5. Input code 9542 to open it
6. Take the UV Light from inside and equip it

Tips for Solving Combination Puzzles

When you encounter a locked door, chest, or locker in Escape Academy 2:

1. Look for nearby clues: Posters, notes, and signs often contain the information needed to solve combination puzzles
2. Check your inventory: Pin relevant documents and diagrams to reference them while solving puzzles
3. Count carefully: Many combinations require counting symbols, objects, or positions
4. Consider multiple interpretations: Some clues use wordplay, ciphers, or mathematical operations
5. Explore thoroughly: The solution to one puzzle often unlocks items needed for another

The game’s puzzles build on each other logically. If you’re stuck on a combination lock, retrace your steps to see if you missed collecting an essential clue or item.

Common Lock-Solving Mistakes

Players often encounter these issues when working with combination locks:

Wrong order: Many three-digit codes require specific sequences. Double-check whether the clue indicates left-to-right, top-to-bottom, or another arrangement.

Overlooked symbols: Some locks use shapes, colors, or card suits instead of numbers. Make sure you’re inputting the correct type of symbol.

Incomplete clues: If a puzzle seems impossible, you likely haven’t collected all the necessary information yet. Explore the current area thoroughly before assuming you’re stuck.

Case sensitivity: Word-based combinations may be case-sensitive. If PATH doesn’t work, try path or Path.

FAQ
