CONTROL Resonant: every puzzle, with the fact that unlocks each one

Most of the puzzles in CONTROL Resonant are not hard once you know the single fact each one is hiding. Without that fact they are the sort of thing that eats an evening, because several have no marker, no quest entry and nothing telling you they exist.

Here is every one we have filmed, with the fact.

The unmarked ones

Puzzle	Zone	The fact
Secret Laundry	Central Zone	Clear three orbs FIRST. The machine does nothing while any are outstanding, which is why it reads as broken
The Last Taxi	Central Zone	Interacting traps you in its world. Getting out is the puzzle, and nothing warns you before you touch it
Cafe	Downtown	A step sequence rather than a code. Nothing to write down
Museum	Evacuation Zone	A sequence rather than a code. Watch once, do once

The Laundry is the one people give up on, because the puzzle and its gate look like the same object. Orbs first, always.

The taxi is worth reading before you touch it. A taxi in a city reads as transport, so the natural move is to interact and find out, and by then you are already inside with no obvious exit.

Urban Survival, three puzzles and a quest that does not exist yet

The quest has to be unlocked before it appears at all. Go to the right area of the Evacuation Zone and collect the notes. Until you have them there is no quest, which is why most players never see it.

Stage	What it is
Puzzle one	Place boxes. The boxes keep changing shape while you work, and only the Thirst Station shape fits. Anything else you line up is wasted no matter how right it looks
Puzzle two	Bring two items to the Survivalist
Puzzle three	Car keys, and finding the Survivalist's brother
The step people skip	Go back and report. That is what actually closes the quest

That one fact about puzzle one turns it from maddening into a minute of work.

The Fault quests

Four of them, each a route with puzzles along it rather than a single mechanism.

Quest	Note
The Subway Fault
The Incursion Fault	About nine minutes, including a parking garage you have to escape
The Underpass Fault	Starts the moment you reach the Underpass fast travel point
Recursions and Iterations	About twenty minutes, the longest on the channel. Finding the team is nine of them on its own, then Grist, then three power charges. Restoring power wants all three
Rebuild

Knowing Recursions and Iterations is four jobs in a row stops you assuming you have gone wrong. The nine minutes spent finding the team is the honest shape of the quest rather than a mistake you are making.

The rest

Puzzle	Note
The House in Distress, power puzzle
The House in Distress, the ritual	Separate from the power puzzle above
Enemy of My Enemy	Reach the CFD switch, then destroy four orbs. Three and moving on leaves the quest where it was
Evacuation Procedure	The entrance stays shut until three orbs are in. The door reads as the objective, so people stand at it looking for a switch

Before you start any of them

Clear the zone map first. Three antennas per district, and every puzzle above is easier to reach with the fog off. That guide is on the game's page.

Each puzzle here is filmed at the pace you would do it, because a sequence is the one thing a written list cannot hand over honestly. The fact is above, the sequence is in the video.
