The Trick House (Japanese: カラクリやしき Trick House) is located on Route 110 in Hoenn. It is owned by the Trick Master, who poses puzzling challenges to travelers. Those who wish to play his game must find their way through a maze-like puzzle at the back of his house. If successful, they will be rewarded.

Description

The puzzles for Trick House are divided into three parts. First, the Trick Master is hiding somewhere in the first room of the house. The first few times the player enters the house, a small twinkle indicates the Trick Master's hiding place right away, but in later challenges the player must find him without any help.

Once the Trick Master is found, the player may enter the larger rear room through a passageway hidden behind the scroll on the wall. The rooms consist of some sort of maze with a gimmick to each of them, and each room also has mail and Trainers. The player must navigate through the maze to a second scroll, where they will obtain a secret code. Finally, the player must find the door to the Trick Master's room and write the code on it to gain access. Upon being found, the Trick Master will reward the player, and the player may take a shortcut passage out of the Trick House.

While the rooms in Trick House use mostly the same gimmicks in Emerald as were used in Ruby and Sapphire, the layouts of the rooms are each changed slightly. Trainers, items and the password scrolls are in different locations, and the maze's course changes as well. However, it is only their locations that differ; the items and Trainers in each room are the same in all versions except for the Seventh Puzzle room. Between Ruby and Sapphire, and Emerald, the Trick Master's hiding spots in the first room also change.

Players can take the challenges as they earn new Gym Badges, but the final challenge cannot be taken until they defeat the Elite Four. Each one, however, is only available once and they must be completed in order.

Puzzle	Required accomplishment	Prize	HMs required
Puzzle 1	None	Rare Candy	HM01 (Cut)

After completing the final puzzle in Pokémon Emerald, players may choose between either tent, but may only take one. Also, after all challenges are completed, the Trick Master disappears, leaving behind only a note saying he has gone to distant lands to search for new tricks.

The Trick House in the anime

Ash and his friends visited the Trick House in A Poké-BLOCK Party!, which is located within Mauville City. The Trick House was holding a contest, with a free year's supply of Pokéblock as the prize. It is the last place the wild Jigglypuff from Neon Town has been seen.

Trivia

• Each scroll has a compliment about the Trick Master on it (Trick Master is fabulous, Trick Master is smart, Trick Master is coveted, Trick Master is cool, Trick Master is a genius, Trick Master is my life, Trick Master is huggable, Trick Master I love.).
• In puzzle five some of the tiles are arranged in the shape of a question mark in Ruby and Sapphire. In Emerald, the tiles are arranged in the shape of two exclamation marks instead. These punctuation mark arrangements tie in with the trivia-based nature of the fifth puzzle.
