Terminal is available to download via the official Roblox app. Once you install the game, you can start playing from Chapter 1. The game is a co-op experience for up to four players, but you can also play it solo. When you load into a mission, there are four types of puzzles that you have to solve: 

Code Terminals

Code terminal missions have secret codes hidden in the story area. They can be difficult to spot, so make sure you look behind posters, furniture, and other objects. In some cases, the codes are hidden in earlier rooms, so you might have to backtrack to find them. 

Locked Doors

There are special puzzle doors that block your progress. They typically have mysterious symbols and patterns. You have to match the designs in the secret input panels to unlock the doors. 

Timers

There are time-sensitive challenges with timers. When you encounter such puzzles, the game gives you an objective, and you have to clear it before the timer runs out. These challenges can ask you to create patterns, match symbols, or complete circuit designs. 

Color Panels 

Color panels regularly appear in story stages. These puzzles show you a sequence of colours, and you have to repeat them correctly. If you have trouble memorizing them, feel free to note down the sequence to beat the puzzles. 

If you are stuck on some puzzles, you can always brute force them through trial and error. The game is replayable, but there is no reason to repeat the story stages unless you want to improve your clear times. 

You should play Terminal in a group, as it makes solving puzzles much quicker. If a group member is stuck on a puzzle, someone else might figure it out, which makes harder puzzles less frustrating.
