Class Escape is a first-person room escape game set inside a school. The faculty have locked you inside the school and set you a series of tests to prove your intelligence. You must solve the tests to escape from captivity. This walkthrough includes both the original and updated versions of the game, which have different puzzles. There are 16 Steam Achievements, all documented in the walkthrough below.

Prologue

Listen to the introduction, then choose to press one of the 2 buttons:

Press the green button Give Consent.
Press the red button 4 times Rebel!. After going out to the main menu, resume the game then press the Sorry button repeatedly.

On the wall ahead there will be 2 different sine wave patterns, and you need to get them aligned, by pressing symbols on the panel. Press the top-left symbol 3 times to get the correct amplitude, then press the bottom-right symbol 3 times to get the correct frequency. Once you are correct, look at the 3-digit code displayed above the waves, and go and enter 670 on the tablet on the desk. Pick up the keycard, then head out to the corridor.

Use your keycard on the sensor next to the Classroom, then head inside.

Classroom

Go to the set of shelves along the left wall - you need to adjust the 5 small chairs in the shelves to match the black marks behind them. Make these moves:

Move the 1st chair up 2 times (to the top position)
Move the 2nd chair down 1 time (to the middle position)
Move the 5th chair up 1 time (to the top position)
Move the 1st chair up 1 time (to the top position)
Move the 3rd chair down 1 time (to the bottom position)
Move the 4th chair up 1 time (to the middle position)

Head to the opposite corner of the room and use the controls near the wooden maze to guide the ball to the target (through matching colored teleporters). There will now be colored discs beneath each of the chairs in the main part of the room. Look at the 9 signatures in the book on the lectern. Now make your way to the pin-up board which has some fixed chair layout diagrams and a group of others on nearby chairs. You need to arrange these into a logical order, going from the top-left all the way to the bottom right. In terms of signatures they should be

Lee

Atkinson

Dalton

Hill

Feero

Edgar

Cox

Price

Ulla

Now based on these chair layout diagrams, you can rotate the chairs in the room to match (the discs beneath the groups of 4 chairs will turn green when correct):
