WheelMates walkthrough and beginner guide
Firevolt never published a room-by-room walkthrough. The official skeleton is six levels — Kitchen, Hallway, Garage, Neuro-Void: Fragments, Shed, Backyard — plus five gadgets. This page indexes those names, the typical order from Steam achievement rates, and known launch-week blockers. Puzzle answers that exist only as community posts live on the puzzles page and are labeled as such.123

Official level order (achievement rates, 16 Sep 2026)
Rates are global unlock percentages, not a developer chapter map. Firevolt does not number “Chapter 2”; German searches for kapitel 2 / Hinterhof should use these area names.13

| Kitchen | Kitchen 80.4% | Grapple 86.1% |
| Hallway | Hallway 62.2% | — |

Beginner notes and known stuck points
- You can revisit old rooms after new gadgets (official Q&A).2
- Hotfixes named: Backyard three-antenna puzzle, Garage buttons/pumps, Shed progression, Neuro-Void collisions, Phase Shifter controls.3
- This hub sticks to official names and clearly labeled community notes; it does not turn unverified fan walkthrough claims into facts.
Questions people actually search
How many chapters does WheelMates have?
Steam achievements name six levels. Firevolt has not published a numbered chapter list that maps 1:1 to those names.
Where is the Hinterhof / kapitel 2 3x3 keypad solution?
There is no official German walkthrough. Hinterhof is treated here as Backyard. 3x3 keypad reports sit on the puzzles page as community notes, not official answers.
