How to Solve the Mak-Yek Puzzle

The Mak-Yek puzzle can be found inside the main base of Voss’ Camp in the far North area of the Sukhothai map.

Inside the room, players can find two notes that will help them understand how Mak-Yek works, with the first note being that of Lorenzo’s Challenge which starts the A Game of Wits mystery. This note explains what players must do to get the code to the safe, and it involves moving four different blue units (once each) to capture all 9 red units.

A Game of Wits Safe Code

The code to the A Game of Wits safe is 3186.

This code can be entered into the safe just behind the Mak-Yek board, and inside, players will find a bunch of money to spend in the Sukhothai chapter. There is nothing else besides this luxury of wealth that players can use to buy guides and the Air Breather item, but it’s always important to solve mysteries for Adventure Points and to have the cash on hand for great Adventure Books like the ones found inthe Jungle Bruiser Pit.
