Blue Prince is packed with challenging puzzles and hidden secrets, prominently featured in the Gallery room. The abstract artworks in this space have puzzled many players, and while completing this particular challenge isn’t essential to finishing the game, the rewards certainly make it worthwhile.
This guide will walk you through how to access the Gallery, offer tips for tackling its various puzzles, and provide answers for those who need a little extra assistance.
How to Access the Gallery Room
The Gallery room is a rare design in Mt. Holly, so you might not see it in every draft. One strategy to increase your chances of encountering it is to select the Library whenever possible, as drafting from the Library raises the likelihood of getting uncommon rooms. This approach increases your chances of drawing the Gallery in your run.
How to Solve the Puzzles
Tackling the Gallery’s puzzles involves naming each artwork based on several clues:
- Each name follows a specific theme.
- Verbalizing your observations about the paintings can help you find solutions.
- Keep an eye out for visual hints, though not every detail will be crucial.
- A thesaurus might be beneficial!
- If you’ve correctly solved a puzzle, something will trigger in the room. If nothing happens, your answer is incorrect.
The answers are in expandable sections. Avoid opening them if you prefer to solve on your own!
