Trick House is a Hoenn building located in Route 110, near its western entrance. Making a return from the original games, the Trick Master will challenge the player to complete his puzzles, from which many rewards can be obtained.

Trick House Challenge

Every challenge is divided into three parts:

  • Finding the Trick Master in the entrance room. It will be necessary to examine his location as if he was an hidden item.
  • Navigating through his puzzle room. Once in, leaving will mean abandoning the challenge, as such all trainers must be fought without going back to the Pokemon Center. It will be necessary to gather 3 or more Scrolls, and then speak to the Trick Master to complete the puzzle room.
  • Answering his Quiz. He will give one riddle, and the correct answer must be chosen. Once it is correctly answered, the challenge is completed by examining the scroll on the north wall.

Once the challenge has been completed or abandoned by leaving the building, there will be a 1 to 3 days cooldown before being able to do the next challenge, depending on which challenge the player challenged.

After completing the 6th challenge, every next challenge will also use the 6th room. Only the riddle and the reward is randomized.

The room is divided into smaller rooms in a 7×6 grid pattern, and it will be necessary to step on tiles which will keep the player moving until he or she hits a wall. Some of the rooms are hidden under a roof, making it difficult to predict where the player will exit after entering it.
