Unlock the secret puzzle sets

Looking for even more puzzles to solve? Here's how to reveal the 'secret' puzzle sets, unlocking 4800 extra puzzles.

Extra puzzle sets?

Did you know there are hidden 'secret' puzzle sets in the Ocean, Canyon, Forest, Mountain and Sky regions? Here's how to reveal them, unlocking an additional 4800 puzzles.

What type of puzzles are in the secret puzzle sets?

Ocean Secrets

800 puzzles, 4x4

Canyon Secrets

1000 puzzles, 5x5, double board, hidden cage

Forest Secrets

1000 puzzles, 6x6

Mountain Secrets

1000 puzzles, 7x7, hidden cage

Sky Secrets

1000 puzzles, 8x8, double board

First, locate the game folder

The location of the game folder can be different for you, but fortunately Steam makes this easy. In Steam, right-click Everyday Genius: SquareLogic and open Properties. Under Local Files, press Browse Local Files.

You should now see the game folder. Navigate to Data\Puzzles\ and open Campaign.CampaignData in Notepad.

On to the puzzle sets!

Now you're looking at Everyday Genius: SquareLogic's campaign data file. If it looks like the screenshot on the right, you've got the correct file!

Now onwards to unlocking the puzzle sets. Search for the following text:

Ocean Secrets.PuzzleSet

You've found it if you now see four lines like this:

"Ocean Secrets" // Name of this Node
"Ocean Secrets.PuzzleSet" // Filename of this node's puzzle set file.
"" // Achievement for satisfying the PuzzleSet of this node.
true

The 'true' you see here is what makes the puzzle set unavailable. Replace this 'true' with 'false' to make it available.

Do the same for Canyon Secrets, Forest Secrets, Mountain Secrets and Sky Secrets.

That's it! Save the file and you're done. The 'Secrets' puzzle set for each region will be available once you finish the final challenge puzzle of the region.

Undoing your changes

If you want to undo your changes or correct a mistake, you can let Steam restore all modified Everyday Genius: SquareLogic files.

In Steam, right-click Everyday Genius: SquareLogic and open Properties. Under Local Files, press Verify integrity of game cache. Steam will then replace all files that have been modified with their original versions.

Keep in mind that if you've solved some of the secret puzzles after following this guide, these puzzles will remain solved and will still contribute to your total score even if you undo these changes.

Thanks! I assume they may have planned an unlocking mechanism in-game and just never implemented it.

This is wild. They just...left thousands of puzzles as an Easter egg for anyone who could be bothered to poke around in the files.

Love this. Thank you!

My bad, I found the line of code. Just looking in the wrong place

[SophieSkyrim1984]

Friend, I checked the file, and it already says " FALSE" does that mean all secret puzzles are unlock by default via an updated version of the game for steam

[Brigsis]

I've had this game for 14 years, and I never knew this. Thank you. *cries*

[Killer Bear]

Cool finding!

I don't believe that these puzzle sets can be unlocked without editing the game files.

Thanks for the guide!

Is there any way to unlock these normally? Like by completing every puzzle in the game or
something?
