Here are the instructions for solving the flood gate puzzle step by step:

  1. Turn the pipes beneath the starting one in the top right corner so one pipe is connected to the top and exit pipe is pointing to the right.
  2. Turn the pipe to the right of this one so that one side connects to the previous pipe and the exit pipe is pointing upwards.
  3. Then, go to the next pipe which is to the right of the starting pipe. Connect one part of it to the pipe below, the previous one you moved, and make sure the exit pipe is facing right.
  4. Turn the next section to the right so that the pipes are horizontal.
  5. Then, rotate the next pipe section in the top right corner so one side connects to the horizontal pipe and the exit pipe is facing down.
  6. Go down to the next pipe and rotate it so one side connects to the pipe above with the exit pipe facing left.
  7. Then, go to the next pipe section to the left. Rotate it so one side is connected to the previous pipe and the exit pipe is facing down.
  8. Go down one pipe to the next section, rotate this one so that one side connects to the previous pipe and the exit pipe is facing left.
  9. Go to the next section on the left, rotate this pipe so one side connects to the previous pipe and the exit pipe is facing down.
  10. From this pipe, move to the section below it. This should now be second pipe in from the left on the bottom row. Rotate it so that one pipe connects to the previous one you moved and the exit pipe is facing the right.
  11. Move along to the right and rotate the section so the pipes are horizontal.

You will need to be fast as the water begins flowing through the moment you enter the puzzle, if you're too slow and water escapes, you will need to start again.
