Timesville · VHS and waterfall route
Endacopia TV Puzzle: VHS and Waterfall Door
Connect the VHS player to the giant TV, insert the dollhouse tape, and use the player's blue arrows to inspect the five brief marked frames. The waterfall door sequence recorded by Neoseeker is middle left → bottom left → bottom right → top right → top middle.

Full-game Timesville progression. Directional solution from the July 29, 2026 walkthrough.
Get the VHS player and the tape
You need two separate rewards. Finish the dollhouse setup and visit the larger house at night to collect the tape. The VHS player comes from a different Timesville quest.
- Recover Beartha's stolen PGD. The route uses the Metal Detector, beach digging and the evidence in Nibbles' locked Condo room.
- Return the PGD to Beartha to receive a Black Rose.
- Place that rose on the grave marked Rosie.
- When the scene changes, crawl to the right until you reach the room containing the VHS player.
If you are still missing the Metal Detector, follow the shed and telescope route first. A tape alone is not enough to start playback.
Connect the player and read the marked frames
- Advance the clock to night. Enter the red-door house just left of the entrance to Timesville.
- Place the VHS player by the giant TV.
- Click the plugs on the front of the TV to connect the player.
- Use the tape on the VHS player.
- Use the blue playback arrows to move frame by frame. Record the five marked positions in their viewing order.
The clue flashes too quickly during ordinary playback. Slowing down with the player's own controls lets you read each position without guessing. Keep the order you observed so you can compare it with the door layout.
Open the waterfall cave
The cave route also needs the jail conversation. Visit the jail at night, use Mellow's eye interaction on the scanner, cross the spotlight course, and inspect the drawings around the turtle's cell. Ask about The Truth, Clues on the Serial Killer and His Cell. The resulting clue sends you behind the waterfall.
Swipe the table sideways to read every column.
| Input | Position |
|---|---|
| 1 | Middle left |
| 2 | Bottom left |
| 3 | Bottom right |
| 4 | Top right |
| 5 | Top middle |
Use positions rather than a number string. A numbered keypad can label the same physical spots differently. The documented success check is that the cave opens and you can reach the Chameleon's encounter.
If the TV or cave will not respond
If the TV stays inactive, check both plugs, the VHS player's placement and the tape. If the waterfall path is unavailable, finish the turtle's dialogue instead of repeatedly entering the sequence.
If your marked frames differ from the list, follow the frames in your own game. The source is dated, but its patch number is unknown. The hidden window lock in the small dollhouse is a separate Ending C secret, not this VHS door.
Should I enter 4-1-3-9-8?
The checked Chapter 1 walkthrough gives directional positions, not that numeric code. Use the five marked frames and the position table above.
