Wow, what a wonderful puzzle! Took almost an hour to solve, mostly at the start trying to figure out how to use zipper lines. Satisfying solve!

Loved the way the zipper lines interacted with the killer cages. Thanks for sharing!

Took a bit of thinking to get onto the right wavelength for the opening, but once I got the concept the rest flowed in a lovely way.

Thank you for this fantastic zipper/killer puzzle, FullDeck-Missing! I found the break-in (which is just lovely by the way) relatively quickly, but then missed a lot of stuff that felt so forced and well-telegraphed in hindsight. But even given my oversights the solve was thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you for setting and sharing!
