“Pompeii” by Bastille was featured in a complex puzzle with torches, lyrics, and an infinite staircase.
Description
The puzzle had multiple layers: The first two torches were lit with lyrics from “Pompeii,” after which every subsequent torch was extinguished in ash. The party was trapped on an infinite staircase, repeatedly passing the same torches inscribed with lyrics about the ashes of Pompeii. Helia Orelia figured out that the trick was to “close your eyes” to escape the loop.
