There are **four different padlock designs** available (see the image below). All of them work and are set up in the exact same way. You can freely choose the one that best fits your game’s design.

### How to set up the Padlock puzzle

#### Puzzle

Here you can define:

* **Password length** → Set the number of characters (minimum 3, maximum 5).
* **Symbols** → Choose between **letters** or **numbers** (you cannot mix both).
* **Solutions** → Add one or multiple valid solutions for the puzzle.
* **Preview** → Check how the padlock will look and test the combinations.

#### Advanced

In the Advanced settings you can:

* Mute the game.
* Change the puzzle volume.
* Set the wait time (in seconds) between when the player solves the padlock and when the win or lose actions are executed.

### How to set up the actions when the player interacts with the puzzle

There are different actions you can configure for this game.

#### When the player solves the padlock

You can set up one or more of the following actions:

* **Go to another scene in the game**
* **Add X points**
* **Subtract X points**
* **Visit an external URL**

#### When the player fails a part of the combination

You can also define actions when the player selects an incorrect combination. Possible actions include:

* **Visit an external URL**
* **Subtract X points**
* **Add X points**
* **Go to another scene in the game**

{% hint style="info" %}
It's very important to specify what should happen in each case. Click on the Actions icon in the top menu and add one or more actions for both when the player gets the puzzle right or wrong.
