More Than Three Choices is the first bonus level of Doorhaven. It follows the single key/single door pattern of most Doorhaven levels, but the logic is complicated by the fact that some paths can be accessed from both ends, causing the usual "forced move" logic to not work for certain parts of the puzzle.

Description

Uh oh! It seems that just like before, there are several different paths you could take here. Sure, just about anyone could navigate a jumble like this, but you might set yourself up for a rude awakening later down the line if you rely solely on your instincts.

Puzzle Logic

If the player follows the usual forced move logic present in earlier puzzles, they will likely find themselves with not enough pink keys to get to the exit. Instead the player should examine the pink keys carefully:

  • The puzzle starts the player with 1 pink key, but 2 are needed to get to the exit. Therefore it is necessary to net one pink key.

  • The only place to net a pink key is at the row 2nd from the top, approaching from the right side. The pink door on that row cannot be opened.

  • One of the pink doors on the bottom row can be opened, but not both.

After these realizations, the player should be able to use standard Doorhaven logic to solve the rest of the puzzle.
