Simply put, this puzzle involves a room that contains a light source and a number of mirrors, and requires the player to position the mirrors in a way so that the light will bounce off them in succession and hit a target. May also happen with a laser or magic beam, or something else entirely. Additional complications can include the beam killing the player if they touch it, so the player may also need to ensure that they have safe passage through it. Prisms may also be used to bend or even split the beam. The basic idea of this trope was tested by the Mythbusters, albeit in the "used to light a room" sense. While it does provide some light for the room, it isn't something that can be relied upon for being able to see through the dark. Without a stable light source, you'd have to constantly readjust the mirrors due to the changing positions of the sun. While with a stable light source it is possible to rebound the light off of several mirror, it quickly starts to weaken to the point of being unnoticeable the further it goes, requiring the mirrors be almost right up next to each other. So, while it is technically possible, it's highly improbable. This is cousin to the Block Puzzle, and may sometimes be That One Puzzle. Compare Reflecting Laser and Sundial Waypoint. |

The Talos Principle: Most of the puzzles in the game involve using faceted "connectors" to create beams between laser emitters and receivers to power devices or remove obstacles. Unlike typical mirror puzzles, angle is not an issue, and the main aspect of challenge comes from finding valid line of sight between all of the desired targets. | |

An episode of Bones had the team wondering how the killer could be watching them regardless of where they were in a cluttered storeroom. The solution turned out to be that the killer had set up mirrors that reflected back to a single camera in this manner. The team demonstrated this by using a laser pointer aimed at the mirrors, and watching as the beam slowly bounces between the mirrors and significantly less than the speed of light. | |

While not a puzzle, The Mummy (1999) has the group enter a large, dim tomb. Evie angles a mirror on a stand to direct the sunlight above into several other mirrors positioned around the room, illuminating the room. The MythBusters tested this. While you can light a room this way, the constantly moving sun means it won't last long, and it is nowhere near the movie's level of light. | |

NCIS: Los Angeles: A variant appears in the second-season episode "Deliverance". NCIS Agent Kensi Blye is trapped in a room crisscrossed by laser beams. If any beam is broken, a bomb will go off and kill her. Fortunately, the lasers are the same frequency as the standard laser sight that her partner Marty Deeks has on his pistol. He uses that fact to temporarily disable the lasers one at a time, so Kensi can move toward the entrance. | |

At least two stages in Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden, Temple of Altemagus and Firepitch Keep. You move panels to reflect light and activate exits, and some of those panels can be shifted from a distance thanks to your enchanted gauntlet.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: The "Discerning the Transmundane" quest. You must orient a set of lenses to shine light on a massive dwarven sphere to gain access to an Elder Scroll, but in fact all you have to do is press the leftmost button repeatedly until the next one to the left becomes usable, and rinse and repeat until you are on the last button. There's a Dwemer ruin called Mzulft where you need to focus multiple beams of light onto a central object. This is done by using the two most basic fire and frost spells to expand or contract the focusing crystals. You can also use the more advanced spells, but these will realign the beams to a much stronger degree, making the puzzle nearly impossible to figure out, and it can be quite a challenge even if approached the intended way. This is crucial in order to advance the College of Winterhold quest line. |

Shadow of the Tomb Raider has two: one was built by a crazed Jesuit priest to protect the MacGuffin, and involves using beams of light to indicate a specific sequence of events in Jesus' crucifixion. The other is a DLC item that was in-universe intended as a test of wits for initiates in a cult. |

Silent Hill 4: The Room features the infamous water prison puzzle, which requires rotating the circular floors of a tower on their axis so as to align four specific holes out of several possible, thus channeling the light from the roof all the way into the basement. After you do this once, you must repeat the whole procedure, this time aligning four different holes over another part of the basement. While not terribly difficult to perform, the fact that it requires improbable logic to figure it out usually leaves players stuck at this point. | |

Weaponized in Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars by using the Viper fighter and Beam Artillery in conjunction. The Viper's special ability is to call on a nearby beam cannon to shoot at it, whereupon it uses its belly-mounted mirror to bounce the laser at a target, effectively doubling its range. This can be chained to other Vipers, until you have a beam cannon or two sitting at home bouncing its lasers off an entire network of Vipers. | |

The Legend of Zelda features this as a recurring thematic puzzle in some games: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: The Spirit Temple features puzzles of this kind for both Child and Adult Link, though since Child Link is unable to use the Mirror Shield he has to manipulate the light's direction with conventional methods (such as redirecting a traditional mirror, moving a light-sensitive block or blowing up a fragile wall). Adult Link, who can use the Mirror Shield, is able to bring light to spots where it wouldn't otherwise reach with the conventional mirrors. These puzzles return, in a lesser capacity, in the final dungeon. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Light-based puzzles are present in both Ikana Castle and Stone Tower Temple, though the Mirror Shield appears earlier in the final room of the Gibdo's well. In the temple, the Mirror Shield can be used to store light in special mirrors and eventually redirect them onto a sun target. For added difficulty, the light is only stored in the mirror for as long as you shine light on it and won't shine until you stop, so if you're too slow you have to go back and start over again. Worse still, there's a room where some enemies appear constantly to interrupt your process, though this can be eased with the use of the Stone Mask (which makes you invisible). Once you make it halfway in and defeat the first mini-boss, though, you get the Light Arrows, which neutralize the puzzles. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: The Earth Temple sports this during the second half, with mirrors that always reflect "forward"; both you and your Escort Mission (Medli, the newly chosen Earth Sage) have reflective items (respectively, the Mirror Shield which is found here and the Rito harp that originally belonged to Zora Sage Laruto). At times you must use your shield to bounce light onto her mirror, to illuminate a third mirror that reflects light onto a series of other mirrors. The room leading to the Boss Key has a famously complex puzzle where, counting the characters' reflective items, a total of ten mirrors has to be used to illuminate a face that opens the door to the Boss Key's room. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: One of the many Zonai devices in this game is a portable mirror that reflects sunlight as a beam. Some puzzles require you to use these mirrors to shine a beam of light onto a solar panel, usually to open a door. The Lightning Temple in particular makes heavy use of this kind of puzzle, including using mirrors attached to movable pillars in the central chamber to shine light between different floors. |

Mega Man X: Command Mission, on the other hand, had a more traditional puzzle version, with a bizarrely long series of rooms where you just redirected lasers all over the place. Just to make it more annoying, there was often an extra target that would trigger a battle every time you moved a mirror while the laser was pointed towards it. Furthermore, you also need to reflect each beam to a matching-colored object in each room to unlock the item crystals in the floor above, but there's no hint whatsoever you need to do this and once you do the above, there's isn't any kind of notification that you actually accomplished anything. | |

RuneScape has a very large and very difficult 3D one in the quest "Mourning's End Part II: The Temple of Light." Even after being in the game for many years it is still considered one of the hardest puzzles in the game. The puzzle is spread out over several floors of a large temple that is built like a maze and involves multiple colors of light beams that must be combined together to unlock barriers that can take forever to figure out if you aren't using a guide and even with a guide can take a long time to solve simply due to the large size of the temple. Making it more complicated is the the temple is full of monsters. Specifically, monsters that have low hp, high attack, and a high spawn rate, so there is no good way to deal with them. If you ignore them they keep hurting you; if you fight them they keep coming back. And even if you're immune to damage with prayer, their attacks still automatically close all menus, meaning you have to click through the menus to rotate the mirror in the second or two between each attack. On the positive side, if you enter the mirror rotation menu before you draw aggro from a Shadow, it will be unable to attack you until you exit the window. This can be utilized to allow your life points and run energy to restore. Similar light puzzles show up in the sequels to this quest but they are significantly easier because they don't have enemies attacking you and also are not spread out over such a large area. | |

Sonic Adventure used a variant on this in Lost World, where the object was simply to light your path, rather than hitting a target. In the Updated Re-release Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut, this area is a little lighter. You can get through without doing the puzzle, though you can still do it anyway. Good thing too, because it's possible to get hit while you're turning the mirrors. | |

Avernum III has several of the laser variety in the Golem Factory and the Concealed Passage. The puzzle is generally to put the mirrors in such an alignment that the lasers won't block your path, but you can also turn the lasers back on the laser generators and destroy them all to express your true feelings for these kind of puzzles. As an aside, this is one of the few places where the game was changed significantly from the earlier Exile series, which used conveyor belts in the equivalent dungeons — these were deemed incompatible with the new engine. | |

About half of Shield Sheldon's stage in Mega Man X6 is this. Hilariously enough, over half of it is entirely unnecessary to traverse: the boss is located one-third of the way through the level.

Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? (1997): The fourth mission of the game is in the year 1015, where Carmen's crook steals the freshly written first chapter of The Tale of Genji, and Murasaki Shikibu's inspiration along with it. Moonlight is her muse, so to get her writing again, you need to visit the four guardhouses in the area and position the mirrors within so it shines on her writing desk. In this case, positioning the mirrors is the easy part; the trick is that the four houses are themed after the four seasons, and you need to dress in a correctly colored kimono to be allowed to touch each mirror. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Light-based puzzles are present in both Ikana Castle and Stone Tower Temple, though the Mirror Shield appears earlier in the final room of the Gibdo's well. In the temple, the Mirror Shield can be used to store light in special mirrors and eventually redirect them onto a sun target. For added difficulty, the light is only stored in the mirror for as long as you shine light on it and won't shine until you stop, so if you're too slow you have to go back and start over again. Worse still, there's a room where some enemies appear constantly to interrupt your process, though this can be eased with the use of the Stone Mask (which makes you invisible). Once you make it halfway in and defeat the first mini-boss, though, you get the Light Arrows, which neutralize the puzzles. | |

Doctor Who: "The Five Doctors": The First Doctor and his granddaughter Susan are in a building with reflective walls and a Dalek. They do something that includes sneaking up behind it, dropping to the floor, and by so doing maneuvering it to fire its death beam so the beam bounces off the mirrors and hits the Dalek. "Tooth and Claw" has something similar, where a badly made telescope turns out to be designed to focus moonlight in some special way and then shine it through the Koh-i-Noor, which apparently Prince Albert had cut specifically for this purpose, to zap a werewolf-alien before it kills Queen Victoria. |

Mune: Guardian of the Moon: Glim sets up a series of mirrors in her own room, so that the light of the morning sun would unfreeze her first, before her father who stayed downstairs (they are made of wax and turn solid with the cold of the night), so that he can't stop her going out to see the succession ceremony. | |

The game (loosely) based off Disney's The Haunted Mansion has one of these in the Moon Room. The goal is to bounce a beam of light into a "moonstone" by rotating a set of mirrors. Once the light hits the stone, it lights the entire room. | |

The remake of Quest for Glory II has a minigame called "Force Bolt Flurry," which can be played by anybody with magical skill and knowledge of the appropriate spells. It employs Force Bolts instead of light, with the added challenge of preventing your opponent from reflecting his Force Bolts into your territory. | |

In Unleash the Light, there are several puzzles where you have to direct the spotlight to the light-powered pyramid using reflective pillars. The arrows on the pillars indicate the direction the beam of light will take upon hitting them. Some of the puzzles require the beam to be of a certain color, and you have to combine the colored lights to get it. | |

Exactly who that dead alpha werewolf is shall remain a secret, though we will grumble for days on end until the stars fall from the sky about just how much pain and suffering this resurrected alpha werewolf caused on the precious, innocent teens of Teen Wolf. | |

Portal has a variation on this in that you must direct energy orbs into receptors that in turn open doors or power lifts etc. The orbs can be bounced off various surfaces, or teleported from one surface to another by the use of portals. The orbs can also be utilised to vaporise oneself if in an Unwinnable position, and push friendly turrets off platforms. Note that, unlike traditional beams of light, the orbs don't need a complete line-of-sight between emitter and receiver, making it a lot easier to get stuff done. They explode harmlessly after a while, though, and a new one is supplied from the emitter again. | |

Star Wars Droidworks has two missions that play this straight. There's the "Laser-Powered Fusion Reactor" in the Phrik metal mine, which you have to fix twice in a row (although it's implied that the assassin droid hiding there sabotaged them deliberately to bait you); and later, a series of laser-and-angles puzzles are used to view the data crystals you collected from the previous missions. The mirror controls become more and more broken the farther you go. | |

In Mega Man Battle Network 5, you are in a room on a ship when the lights go out and a valuable program gets stolen. No one in the room has it. The open door, the mirrors and the fact that navis can travel on infrared beams are all important to solving the mystery. Answer: it's Napalm Man or Tomahawk Man and their operators, depending on the version. | |

In Zapper, the Laser Maze level has several points that are blocked by lasers that slice Zapper in half if he tries to go through them. Their paths are generally determined by a number of static blue mirrors in the vicinity. Zapper has to deflect the beams by rotating red mirrors until the path is open. | |

In Jon Sable, Freelance #15, Sable and an archaeologist are looking for treasure in a Central American pyramid. It's one of those designed so that a beam of sunlight shining through a hole in the wall will reveal the lock - but it only works on one day of the year that's months away. Sable points out that the ancient builders hadn't anticipated modern electricity and duplicates the effect with his flashlight. | |

Mega Man: In Mega Man Battle Network 5, you are in a room on a ship when the lights go out and a valuable program gets stolen. No one in the room has it. The open door, the mirrors and the fact that navis can travel on infrared beams are all important to solving the mystery. Answer: it's Napalm Man or Tomahawk Man and their operators, depending on the version. Mega Man X: Command Mission, on the other hand, had a more traditional puzzle version, with a bizarrely long series of rooms where you just redirected lasers all over the place. Just to make it more annoying, there was often an extra target that would trigger a battle every time you moved a mirror while the laser was pointed towards it. Furthermore, you also need to reflect each beam to a matching-colored object in each room to unlock the item crystals in the floor above, but there's no hint whatsoever you need to do this and once you do the above, there's isn't any kind of notification that you actually accomplished anything. About half of Shield Sheldon's stage in Mega Man X6 is this. Hilariously enough, over half of it is entirely unnecessary to traverse: the boss is located one-third of the way through the level. The only reason for going through the entire level is to reach the extra "bonus" stage, and get some additional equipment for X. |

One dungeon in Tales of the Abyss has a couple of oddly half-hearted light and mirror puzzles, as if the designers of the game felt obligated to include every possible type of block puzzle but couldn't be bothered to actually make it require effort. A straighter example can be found in the use of Mieu's fireballs, which have to be reflected off things in the final dungeon and several sidequests as well. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: One of the many Zonai devices in this game is a portable mirror that reflects sunlight as a beam. Some puzzles require you to use these mirrors to shine a beam of light onto a solar panel, usually to open a door. The Lightning Temple in particular makes heavy use of this kind of puzzle, including using mirrors attached to movable pillars in the central chamber to shine light between different floors. | |

This is a staple of the Professor Layton series: There's a series of these in Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask's daily downloadable puzzles where you have to position mirrors so colored rays of light will be reflected a certain number of times before they hit same-colored ghosts. That puzzle series has a sequel in Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy, with the same premise. It also shows up in Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, though it's unsolvable at the time it's first encountered. The method of solving it is important to the conclusion of the game. |
