Overview
This guide acts as a walkthrough for WayOut 2: HexIt is now finished and 100% completeThe guide explains the mechanics of all introduced game elements and now includes the perfect solutions for all 60 normal levels + the “final” level (which is unlocked with the completion of every puzzle in less than x moves) + 10 bonus levels that unlock after officially beating the game with the completion of the “final” level. It includes a level-table too, and there are also two achievement lists, with which you can navigate better for what you search.
Introduction
The game series WayOut is based on the mechanics of the old game “Lights Out”, in which the player is given a table of tiles, some activated (light), some deactivated (dark).
Now, the task is to toggle all the lights off, by clicking on corresponding tiles. Those tiles the player has clicked on, and also every surrounding one switch modes, off to on, on to off. Through pushing only the right tiles, the table can be cleared.
The developers of WayOut picked up this concept and advanced it with new special tiles, that trigger different events and by that, make the game more complex and challenging.
WayOut 2: Hex offers a bit of a twist. Originally the game was based on square tiles, but the sequel expends that, to hexagonal tiles, adding even more complexity to the game.
For every constellation there is a minimum number of moves to be done. If the stage is completed with the estimated minimum of clicks (or possibly less), the level is considered “solved perfect”.
The game is structured in six (plus one) sets of levels with ten levels each (so 60 (+10 =70) total). If every of the first 60 levels is done perfect, a final puzzle is available. After the “final” puzzle is solved, a new bonus set with ten additional levels will be available. In every set (except the bonus one) a new kind of tile is introduced.
Many puzzle grant achievements upon completion (no perfection needed for this, as far as I know). But to get 100 percent achievements, you need to complete the final puzzle. This guide is meant to ease your work, while taking out the fun of solving it your own.
Use this only if your stuck and/or don’t want to leave achievements on the road after deciding to don’t waste any more time in this game.

Shortcuts and interface/navigation
First of all, I want to list the shortcuts which are mostly good to know, but still sort of useless.
- R – restart level (maybe usefull)
- S – switch fullscreen mode to window mode (and back)
- B – freeze and unfreeze background animations
- C – 2d mode
- V – grayscale mode
I have to admit, 2D mode can come in pretty handy if overview is hard to achieve, because it is a vertical top view (from directly above), in comparisson to the standardly angled overhead view (from the side). Only problem I have to mention, is that the field of view is to small to see every tile in bigger puzzles.
Also it may occur, that the table grafically glitchs, if the puzzle is turned before or while 2D mode.
Grayscale mode is rather useless, because it turns the colors in different shades of grey (oh wonder), but the shades are to similar to differentiate (at least for me) if the two different yellow tiles are discolored.
The Navigation (if shortcuts are unwanted) bases on clicking, totally.
While pressing and holding the right mousebutton rotates the puzzles (and the main menu) and allows a different perspective, the left mousebutton is used to interact with the mainpuzzle (which resembles the level selection mode) and operate with the grafical user interface (GUI).
Both the menu-Gui and the level-GUI are fairly basic and self-explanatory.
- Music distracted me quite a bit, so I turned it off (matter of taste)
- Ingamesound consist out of one clicking “bloob” sound when switching tiles
- Quit game, you know what it does
- “Perfect-score counter” indicates if you exceed the maximum amount of clicks for “perfection” indirectly by turning red. On some levels you can score even lower than that given number, so you have some spare moves left.
- Use the reload level button or the shortcut “R” on your keyboard
- You get back to your main menu with the menu button
The menu is an overview of all your levels. They are divided in six (later seven) groups with three colors (red, blue, violet). Each set has ten hexagonal prismatic pillars, that give infos about the solution status of the level. A colored pillar means, that the level is unlocked, white means the set of this level but not the puzzle itself is unlocked and grey tells you, that not even the set is unlocked.
If the pillar is big, the level is completely unsolved, if solved at least once it would be “pushed down”.
Half pushed down and yellow colored indicates, that the puzzle was solved already, but with more then the perfect score.
New levels unlock, if others next to it are solved in any way.
The different game elements
There are six different types of tiles, that appear in the given order:
- 1.) normal
- 2.) singledot
- 3.) hex
- 4.) arrow
- 5.) yellow
- 6.) doubledot
The normal tiles are the most common. If you click them up to six surrounding tiles get flipped with it, depending on how many are around it.
To get rid of them, try to corner them. They multiply pretty fast.
Example: I push the one red in the middle, and six additional around it get flipped, too.
But there is one type that can’t be flipped indirectly: The singledotted
Single dotted tiles can only be flipped directly. Nothing else can trigger them, so it is advisable to deactivate every active single dotted tile, right at the beginning, because in the end they all have to be inactive.
That makes them the most obvious to push of all tiles.
Example: I push a normal tile next to a single dotted; it doesn’t get triggered.
Example: I push a single dotted: All tiles around, except the other single dotted are switched.
With the hex fields you can activate dozen tiles at once. There special trick is, that they switch all surrounding tiles if triggered. Ths means, that they work like a normal tile if clicked directly, but also activate, when a tile next to them is pressed.
Not only the tile you clicked and those tiles around the activeted one are switched, but even the tiles around the triggered hex tile are.
With that mechanic it is easy to “generate or consume” tiles if needed. Just use the hex once as a normal tile and then push a neighboring tile. All tiles switched around the hex before are switched back. but those which are around the neighboring tile, but not the hex are only turned once.
Example: I push the hex itself, and it acts like a normal tile: The four surrounding tiles flip.
Example: I push a neighboring tile (to the left) and all the tiles of the example above are swapped, plus the one in the corner.
As easy as it seems. The arrow only swaps those tiles it point on. The trick: Only if triggered directly. If clicked, the arrow tile flips the in front and behind of him, what means three in a row. If the arrow tile is triggered indirectly it flips only itself like a normal tile.
Most likely they are used for chainreactions. One arrow after another.
Example: Direct trigger
Example: Indirect trigger
In my opinion yellow tiles are the most mind boggling tiles of all. Not just because they have to states with a similar mainfunction, but because they “vanish when used”. Yellow tiles appear as yellow colored half or unpushed tiles, that aren’t directly clickable. They can only be triggered indirectly, by neighboring cells.
If they are activated, they turn into standard colored normal tiles (if they are unpushed) or into pushed standard colored normal tiles if they were half pushed before.
This tiles can make the field look overwhelmingly complicated, even if it only requires three or four moves to clear most of it. I’ve got no advise at all (besides random experimenting).
Example:
Example:
Double dotted tiles are all linked together. If one is pushed directly it works like a normal tile, activating itself and up to six surrounding tiles, but the funny thing is, that it also swaps every other double dotted tile, no matter how it is pushed.
One important thing about this “being linked” is, that they aren’t all pushed or all unpushed in the beginning. Some are in, some are out, and they all synchronise, when the first double dotted is pushed. The hard thing about this is, that because of this, double dotted tiles are the only tiles, where the order matters.
Not as much as it sound, but if you first push a doubledot that is off, every doubledot is on after that, and if you first push a doubledot that is on, every doubledot is off after that.
Even if you do everything else right, you could end up with an otherwise cleared board, but all doubledots are active.
Example: I push the lonely active doubledot on the far right and all are deactivated after one move.
Example: I push the single inactive one, in the top left corner and all are active after one move.
Preface to my walkthrough
You can and should use this guide to give yourself a hint in hard levels, just to know where some tiles definitely should be clicked and not for just rushing through all levels to 100 percent the game. But feel free to use the knowledge of this guide for whatever purpose you feel the need to.
It just takes the fun, you know?
I’m not quite done with everything and need your assistence in a handfull of levels, I’m not sophisticated enough for to find the solution.
I still need help with the following:
- Level 10
- Level 46
- Level 49
- Level 55
- Level 57
- Level 60
- Final level
Anyway, you still want the solutions of what I got:
I screened every level and marked what tile to click on with a black x.
Also there are some tiles marked with a two. Those have to be clicked twice.
Marked yellow tiles have to wait until they are unlocked, the order doesn’t matter in general
If a special tile has to be pressed first to ensure the puzzle will be solved, I also marked it with a green circle. Just push that first and continue in what ever order you wish.
Solutions: level-table and achievement list
If you need a specific level or a certain achievement:
I made two lists in which you can eather search for a level and his dependant achievement or vise versa search for an achievement and where it is included.
Then just check in the following picture what number you have to look for in my guide.
Regard: Every achievement is mentioned on its corresponding level, too. But for a better overview I created this tables and lists in addition.

I’m not sure why, but it seems that you can’t go under ten moves. At least I can’t.
This is an issue many people have, so I’m not sure if this is just a flaw in the game itself.
Because nine or less moves are required by the game, but ten should be correct, I still post my solution. When the devs have looked into this, I’ll try again and improve if necessary/possible.
Edit: Now perfectly solvable in ten moves.

Epilogue
Again I want to mention, that this guide is yet to be finished, and I ask for a little help to round off this projekt.
I still need a handfull of solutions, so if anybody knows anything helpful, please make a screenshot of this level, use Paint (or something similar) to mark your moves, post it on your profile and message me. I’ll see if it works out and I will adopt it to my guide if it does. Of course everybody that offers me his solutions, will be referenced and earns reputation by name under the corresponding solution.
The more people know this, the bigger the chance is, that I can fully complete this.
If you also want an achievement guide for the presequel WayOut (1), the user fusecavator made a good one. Make sure to check him out as well:
