Ghostrunner 2 Mindgames – orange and purple icon puzzle solution

To solve the orange and purple file puzzle in Ghostrunner 2, you’ll need to slash the icons in the order shown at the top of the screen before the timer runs out. Each time you slash one of them, you’ll have five seconds to reach the next one.

For example, if the top of the screen shows purple, purple, orange, purple, orange, you’ll need to hit them with your katana in that order and do so in less than five seconds between slashing each one. It doesn’t matter which one of a certain colour you hit as long as the colour matches what’s shown at the top of the screen. Though, in general, there’s a specific route to follow if you want to get them all within the time limit.

There are a total of three orange and purple icon puzzles in the Mindgames level, with each one raising the difficulty level. The final one is particularly tough as you’ll need to time destroying the files with the moving platforms.
