Step 8: In the puzzle editor, make another puzzle to go to Room 2 through the locked door. Under the “goal”, click “Go to a Scene”. Under “new scene”, click “Room 2”. Under “achieving the goal”, click “by entering through an entrance”. Under “entrance”, click your door. Under “Is it locked”, click “yes”. Under “how to unlock”, click “by using a key”.
