Prison Generator Switch Solution

Flip All The Switch Up

The key to solving this puzzle is finding the optimal switch combination to overload the generator and open the connected door. The only way to do this is by flipping all the switches up!

The challenge lies with how some switches reset other switches, so it's a matter of trying multiple times until all switches are up!

The number of switches varies per puzzle difficulty - with Light mode getting 5, Standard having 6, and Hard with 7.

Light	Flip the switches in this order: 4th - 5th - 2nd - 1st - 3rd
Standard	Flip the switches in this order: 6th - 4th - 5th - 1st - 3rd - 2nd
Hard	Flip the switches in this order: 4th - 5th - 2nd - 1st - 3rd - 6th - 7th

The circular numbers in the photo show the order you need to flip the switch!

Flip The Breaker to Overload the Door

Once you've set all switches up, all that's left is to flip the main breaker to initiate the overload! The generator will overload not only the door next to it, but all the cells in the prison allowing James to explore the prison further.
