* PlotHole: [[spoiler: Upon discovering Stauf's true plans for Tad, Temple and Elinor agree to split up to find and save him, with Temple searching upstairs and Elinor downstairs. However, the next time Temple is seen chronologically is in the crypt beneath the house, and Elinor is last seen trapped as a mannequin in the attic. The VR version rectifies this by placing them properly where they said they were going to go look.]]

* DeathByDeaging: [[spoiler: As revealed in the novelization, Heine was not killed by the acid Stauf spewed and instead transported to her room to recieve her wish. The cutscene of her turning into a baby really happened and she continued to de-age until she became a fetus, as [[JackassGenie she never specified how young she wanted to be]]. Meanwhile, in the VR version, she receives her wish in the same way, just in the ritual room instead.]]
* DevelopersForesight: Zig-zagged with the grate puzzle. From a story standpoint, placing the grate with the top half of the hole in the top-right position and leaving the empty space over the bottom-right position would technically allow Ego to pass through without properly solving the puzzle, but a set of retractable spikes will emerge from the floor to block your path. However, if you try the opposite configuration (placing the grate with the bottom half of the hole in the bottom-right position and leaving the empty space over the top-right position), nothing stops Ego from crawling through the hole, except the technicality of not solving the puzzle correctly.

Added The Computer Shall Taunt You trope. Also fixed up Solve The Soup Cans, which is about puzzles that don't logically link to the world, not just difficult puzzles. (That's Moon Logic Puzzle)
* TheComputerShallTauntYou: Stauf will sometimes mock you when you start a puzzle in ''The 7th Guest'' or get a wrong answer, but he really dives into the Ham in ''The 11th Hour,'' where the incorrect guess to his item riddles will result in Stauf delivering one of many insults the game has ready.

* SolveTheSoupCans: Starting with the TropeNamer (the soup cans puzzle in the pantry), ''7th Guest'' lets you know as early as possible that the puzzles will be anywhere from difficult to mind-numbingly frustrating. The game lives up to this promise with several puzzles throughout the game, although which puzzles may be subjective. Thankfully, the eponymous puzzle can now be brute-forced with an anagram engine. Although every puzzle [[FinalBoss but one]] can be [[AntiFrustrationFeatures skipped with no ill consequences]], the game wants you to think overusing the hint-book could [[SequenceBreaking mess up the game]]. But the only consequence is being unable to see the cutscene that plays after the puzzle you're on.
