The Escape Room in High of Life 2 is an optional side activity found in Twilly’s No Escape, a themed mini-dungeon located in Pinkline Harbor. This activity consists of three consecutive puzzle rooms, each with a unique objective. Completing all three rooms is required for 100% completion and contributes toward certain achievements and side-progress milestones.
1. Twilly’s No Escape Room Location
Escape Room Location
The Escape Room side activity is housed inside a building called Twilly’s No Escape, located within Pinkline Harbor. Once inside, the escape room challenge begins automatically. To find it:
- Travel to Pinkline Harbor during free exploration.
- Move toward the southwestern corner of the Harbor map.
- Look for a building marked with a “No Escape”–style label or icon.
- Use Travis’s ability to get up the lift.
- Enter the building to access the escape room sequence.
2. Twilly’s No Escape Room Rules
The escape room follows a consistent structure across all three puzzle rooms:
- There are three small rooms, completed one after another.
- Each room contains: A themed puzzle or interaction sequence. A mummy NPC is tied to the puzzle. An Ankh reward once the puzzle is solved.
- Each Ankh must be placed into a stone slot next to the exit door to unlock it.
- You cannot skip rooms or return once you move forward.
- There is no time limit, so you can explore freely.
-
No NPC dialogue or quest activation is required—simply entering the building starts the challenge.
If you miss an interaction prompt, reposition yourself or try interacting from another angle, as some objects are sensitive to positioning.
3. Pharaoh’s Tomb
