Our take on Take Notes
The game places its puzzle progression inside a contained bunker investigation rather than presenting disconnected logic exercises. Environmental exploration, a missing-person incident, and an unstable reactor give the sequence of challenges a narrative destination.
What is Take Notes?
This puzzle game takes place in a bunker built in the near future, where 40 separate challenges fill a deserted research complex.
Players explore its rooms, work through logic tasks, and circumvent security measures while tracing what happened to the missing staff. An experimental reactor at the Fusion Energetics facility is failing, so the goal is to find its control panel and deactivate it. Every stage calls for a different method, drawing on observation, deduction, analysis, and unconventional ideas. Exploration and narrative progress together as players uncover the facility’s unexplained abandonment and advance through the bunker toward the reactor.
