Backseat Drivers: How to Solve the Floor 666 Cannon Puzzle

Stuck in the weird tunnel on Floor 666 of Mayor Pazuzu’s lair in Backseat Drivers? Don’t worry, you’re not doing anything wrong. This guide explains that it’s actually a cannon and shows you exactly how to use your lighter to blast through.

The Problem on Floor 666

So you’ve hit a major roadblock. You’re on Floor 666, facing a weird, steep tunnel that seems impossible to drive up. Every time you try, you just slide back down, and the platform you’re on keeps resetting you.

You can see a post that looks like it’s meant for your lighter, but nothing seems to work. It’s a classic puzzle designed to mess with your head.

The Big Secret: It’s Not a Tunnel, It’s a Cannon

Here’s the “aha!” moment that the game doesn’t tell you. The biggest trick this level plays on you is making that ramp look like something you’re supposed to drive up. It’s not.

It’s a giant cannon, and your car is the cannonball. The goal isn’t to drive up it, but to launch yourself out of it.

How to Light the Cannon and Escape

Once you know it’s a cannon, the solution is actually pretty simple. You need to use the lighter you have equipped in your car to light the cannon’s fuse.

Here’s the step-by-step process:

1. Position Your Car: Drive your car onto the flat, horizontal platform at the base of the “tunnel.” This is the loading area for the cannon.
2. Use Your Lighter: Once you’re in position, use the button for your car’s equipped gadget (the lighter).
3. Aim for the Fuse: You need to aim your lighter’s flame at the cannon’s fuse. This is the “lighter post” you can see to your right. The tricky part is that you have to hit the exact right spot.
4. Blast Off! Once you successfully light the fuse, the cannon will fire, launching your car up the tunnel and into the next section of the level.

Pro-Tips for Hitting the Fuse

This is where most players get stuck. The hitbox for the fuse is notoriously small and can be very hard to hit. If you’re struggling, here are a few things to try:

• Make Small Adjustments: Don’t just sit in one spot. Try inching your car slightly forward or backward on the platform.
• Change Your Angle: Reposition your car so it’s facing the fuse from a slightly different angle.
• Be Patient: It might take a few tries to find the sweet spot. The key is to keep experimenting with your position until the flame connects. Don’t get tilted; you’ll get it.
