Maquette Development 100% guide

This unlocks when you open that first door. No special setup is required.

Continue down the path, cross the bridge, and climb to the next locked doorway. The gold key is on the fountain to the right. Hold the key out at the lock to open the first keyed door, pick the key back up, then use it again on the second keyed door.

Walk to the end of the path and finish the closing scene.

This unlocks when you complete the chapter.

Do not worry about the three-minute run yet. Learn the route now and handle the timed version after the story.

This unlocks when you rotate an object to fit the puzzle. Rotating the bridge before placing it is the natural trigger.

Cross the full-size bridge, use the elevator, and watch the next scene. Take the gold ticket and ride back down.

The intended requirement is to change an object's size to solve a puzzle, which happens naturally in this chapter. The bridge and ticket sequence normally satisfies it.

Safest route: before shrinking the gold ticket, take the full-size ticket to the fair gate once and try to use it. It will not fit. Drop it in the courtyard, return to the model, pick up the small version from the corresponding spot, and insert that small ticket into the fair gate.

If the achievement has not unlocked by the time the fair opens, keep playing. Do not restart the entire game. The historical retry method in the cleanup section is much cheaper.

After the fair appears, immediately return to the central model. At the rear of the fair section is a switch controlling a hidden wall. Pull it, then go to that newly opened section in the full-size fair. Approach the fortune-teller machine to play the scene and spawn the metal key.

Use the key on the still-locked doorway in the main courtyard.

Do this before turning the key into the normal bridge solution.

Return to the central model with the key. In the newly opened model area, place the key diagonally against the small steps or wall so it acts like a ramp. Go back to the full-size version of that area and climb the enlarged key over the wall. The achievement unlocks when you make the early exit over the wall.

Return to the intended route after it unlocks.

For the normal solution, take the key back to the model and lay it across the large model gap. Cross the full-size key bridge and trigger the scene at the overlook.

Return to the dome. After the world changes, place the standard-size key on the ground outside the dome. Inside the model, pick up its tiny version and use that tiny key to unlock the newly spawned house.

Put the tiny key down, recover the standard-size version, and place it in the model as a bridge from the main area to the floating house. Cross the enlarged key and enter the house.

This unlocks when you enter the house and complete the chapter.

Do this before placing the cog to finish the chapter.

Return to the building where you were swapping crystals and take the green crystal. Repeat the rock-and-wall jump into the giant-scale outer area. Head toward the distant green barrier and the house beyond it. Carry the green crystal through the barrier, find the doghouse beside the house, and enter the doghouse.

The achievement unlocks when you enter the doghouse and discover the pets.

Return to the normal play area, recover the cog, and carry it to the rear of the corresponding building in the central model. Hold it in place until it slots into the mechanism.

This unlocks when the cog is installed and the chapter completes.

This unlocks when you ring the model church bell and complete the chapter.

This unlocks when you reach the end of the hidden path and finish the chapter.

Before solving anything, walk straight off the nearby cliff into the void. The achievement unlocks when you take the fall. You respawn nearby, so there is no meaningful penalty.

Now follow the floating walkways and use the bridge switches. At the second bridge switch, take the right-hand route to the small model of the void. Pick up the tiny missing bridge section and place it in the broken bridge in the model. Before leaving, activate the tiny switch on the last platform to create the final bridge.

Backtrack to the second switch and take the left route into the next structure.

At the tall wall, use the three movable pillar pieces beside the small copy of the wall to build a climbable staircase. The reliable shape is a rough zigzag: make sure the lowest piece physically touches the floor and that each higher piece overlaps the previous one enough to walk across.

Continue until you reach the oversized key and the sizing platforms. None of the three obvious sizes is correct. Use the smaller key on the medium platform to create the giant version, then position the giant key so it becomes a ramp up to the hidden ledge above the sizing area.

Climb the key to reach the hidden fourth sizing position. Cycle the key through the sizing system until the key matches the nearby key-shaped mold, then use the correctly sized key on the lock.

For the final block puzzle, there is a black block and a white block plus matching black and white model spaces. Put each block only on its matching color and use the recursive copies to form a traversable bridge. The same placement has to work for the second orientation as well, so if the first gap is passable but the next one is not, return and adjust the blocks rather than looking for another item.

Continue through the cracked opening and finish the last alignment to reach the exit.

This unlocks when you leave the shattered final area and complete the chapter.

This must be earned by entering the timed Arch Tower on the first activation of this switch during the attempt.

Preventative precaution: make a manual save immediately before touching the timed switch.

Before pulling it, position the movable dome close to the green tower so you can reach it immediately. Pull the switch, sprint back into the dome, move the small dome inside toward the opposite timed tower, then exit at the new position and run through the tower doors before they close.

The achievement unlocks when you enter the Arch Tower on that first attempt. If you miss the door, reload the manual save before trying the switch again. If that does not preserve the first-attempt condition for you, restart The Exchange and repeat the setup before touching the switch.

Inside the timed tower, interact with the diamond.

A five-segment symbol pillar appears. Stand on its pressure plate and match the symbols shown by the floating rocks. The first solved sequence is Jigsaw, Crystal, Figurine, Plus, Butterfly.

A second pillar appears on the opposite side. Move and rotate the dome so the open side lets you see the floating symbols behind that pillar, then stand on the pressure plate. The second solved sequence is Butterfly, Crystal, Plus, Jigsaw, Figurine.

Completing the second pillar opens the narrow blue tower. Enter and interact with the bell.

The larger blue tower opens and rocks appear outside. Move the dome onto the large rock so the entire world tilts enough to make the steep staircase inside the tower climbable. If you slide instead of climbing, reposition the dome slightly higher on the rock to increase the angle.

Climb the altered staircase and interact with the book. Then return to the large staircase from the start of the chapter and go to the tree at the top for the final scene.

This unlocks when you finish the final chapter.

This unlocks alongside the final chapter completion after the ending.

At this point the full story is complete, Chapter Select is available for cleanup, and the only planned work should be the seven chapter speedruns plus Size Manipulator if its historical bug affected you.

Requirement: complete The Gardens in under 3 minutes.

Hold B immediately to skip the opening scene. Follow the same leftward route to the first red door and hit the switch without stopping to read the environment text.

Continue to the two keyed doors. The gold key is on the fountain to the right. Pick it up only when you are close enough to use it, because carrying an item slows movement. Open the first keyed door, take the key back, open the second, and run to the final scene.

Hold B again as the ending scene begins. The achievement unlocks when the chapter completion registers under three minutes.

Requirement: complete The Maquette in under 4 minutes and 10 seconds.

Skip every scene. Enter the opening castle, return to the dome, move the red block, drop into the garden, grab the bridge, and ride back up.

At the model, rotate and place the bridge correctly on the first attempt. Cross it, ride the elevator, take the ticket, return, shrink it through the model, and open the fair.

Immediately pull the hidden-wall switch in the model, trigger the fortune-teller scene, take the key, and open the remaining door.

Do not take the Breakout detour during the timed run. Use the key as the intended bridge, trigger the overlook sequence, then shrink the key to unlock the house. Re-enlarge it as the final bridge and enter the house.

The two largest time losses are bad bridge placement and dropping the key while trying to create the later bridges. Slow down for those placements rather than losing an entire trip across the courtyard.

Requirement: complete The Gateways in under 4 minutes and 35 seconds.

This is one of the tighter memory tests. Skip all scenes and keep each crystal in the same staging spot every attempt so you never waste time searching for it.

Use the pink sphere to enter the pink house, lower the blue diamond, and leave the diamond in the back garden. Use the model to set the pink sphere on the blue-house roof, then use the blue diamond to clear the barrier and get the sphere inside.

Finish the blue-house switch, stage the pink sphere and green crystal in the central area, then solve the green house exactly as on the first playthrough: pink sphere to the balcony, green crystal to remove the barrier, green crystal through the hexagonal opening, pink sphere through the inner barrier, key through the rear window.

Use the small key to open the sandy building, pre-place the pink sphere through its side opening, carry the green crystal through the first barrier, swap to the pink sphere inside, then pull the switch and collect the cog.

After the wall appears, use the pink sphere and the bridge-to-rock jump to reach the outer world and remove the wall. Return by the lift and install the cog.

Do not take the Crew Creatures detour on the speedrun. The rock jumps and crystal handoffs are where failed attempts usually lose the most time, so prioritize consistency over aggressive jumping.

Requirement: complete The Wedge in under 9 minutes and 50 seconds.

The normal route fits under the limit if you remember each metal-stairs placement. Follow the story route above without sightseeing and skip every scene.

The biggest risk is misplacing the metal stairs and then having to walk back across the giant-scale world to correct them. Each time you place them in the model, make sure the full-size version actually reaches the opening you intend before committing to the long walk.

An optional shortcut has historically worked: after obtaining the metal stairs near the start, enlarge and position them so you can enter the church from above, trigger the church scene early, get back out, then ring the bell on the model church. Community reports still showed this working in January 2025, but it has not been independently reverified here in 2026. The normal route is the safer CompletionLab route and still gives enough time.

The achievement unlocks when the model bell ends the chapter under 9 minutes and 50 seconds.

Requirement: complete The Escape in under 4 minutes and 20 seconds.

Skip the opening story and move continuously through the linear street section to the elevator.

At the bottom, take the crystal sphere by the collapsed clock and follow the gold scraps exactly. Go straight, climb the overturned-rock ramp, follow the trail around the wall, turn right, pass through the first rock, turn right again, take the second left, climb and drop from the next ramp, turn left, then pass through the final rock.

Avoid improvised sequence breaks in the elevator and ramp sections. A known route failure can occur if you bypass the intended landing and the chapter does not register its final progression state.

Enter the final opening and the achievement unlocks if the chapter time is under 4 minutes and 20 seconds.

Requirement: complete The Spiral in under 6 minutes 40 seconds.

Do not take the Into the Darkness death during the timed run.

At the second bridge switch, immediately take the right branch, repair the model bridge, activate the tiny final switch, then backtrack and take the left branch.

For the three-piece wall climb, build a simple overlapping zigzag. The bottom piece must touch the floor and every higher piece must overlap enough to walk onto it. A clean first placement saves more time than trying to make an exotic shortcut.

At the key puzzle, use the giant key as the ramp to the hidden fourth sizing position, then cycle the key until it fits the mold and unlock the door.

At the final black-and-white block puzzle, use the same solved placement you learned in the story run. This is the worst place to improvise because a placement that crosses the first gap can still fail at the second orientation.

Finish through the cracked exit. The achievement unlocks when the chapter completes under 6 minutes 40 seconds.

Requirement: complete The Exchange in under 5 minutes and 25 seconds.

Move the dome clear of the rocks and use it aggressively to shorten travel. Pull the first staircase switch, activate the owl in the green tower, and pre-position the dome before pulling the timed arch switch.

For the timed tower, use the same setup as Run, Move, Run!: switch, dome, reposition toward the opposite tower, exit, enter the doors. Do not run the entire distance on foot.

After the diamond, solve the first pillar with Jigsaw, Crystal, Figurine, Plus, Butterfly. Solve the second with Butterfly, Crystal, Plus, Jigsaw, Figurine.

Activate the bell, tilt the world by placing the dome on the large rock, climb the altered staircase to the book, then return to the final tree.

The achievement unlocks with the chapter completion under 5 minutes and 25 seconds.
