I'm not actually sure it is random per run. I believe it is randomized on a timer, because when I was doing multiple consecutive runs, they would be the same for several runs before resetting. --75.86.85.61 18:58, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Comments[edit]

  • I did 10 runs in a 2 minutes and picked the left-side chest each time. I got to the final room once & in the first room got ported to the second room 4 times. It seemed quite random to me. Although remember that with 100 coin flips it would not be unlikely that you get a streak of 6 or more. See reddit post. Separ (talk) 17:38, 4 November 2017 (UTC)
  • Current theory I'm testing (and it seems to work) is that the pattern of left/right for each chest is set until you open the final chest; if you guess wrong, which is correct will now be the other side for each chest. Ex. You choose correctly Left for the first chest, but Right on the second sends you back to start. This time, Right on the first and Right on the second will work, because the first time should have been Left and Left and they are now flipped. Say you now choose Right on the third chest and it also was wrong. Now you need to pick Left, Left, and Right to get through. The sequence will be randomized when you open the last chest.

After about 5-6 runs of that being true, the pattern now appears to be randomizing after every mistake. SarielV 20 x 20px 05:55, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Flavour Text[edit]

The flavour text for the achievements appears to be a reference to the monty hall problem, though that problem is structured differently the "and behind this door" and "sure you want to?" are very similar. --Markyparky56 (talk) 22:18, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
