Blue Prince Beginner Guide & Secrets – Puzzle Solution
Unlock the Apple Orchard Secret (Extra Daily Steps)
What to Do First:
After spawning, don’t follow the main path forward. Instead, spin around and take the road to the left—past your tent—and head straight to the Apple Orchard.
You’ll find a locked gate at the orchard. Enter the code 1128 to unlock it. No need to search for the clue in the Dark Room just yet—this code always works and gives you a permanent +20 steps every day, right from the start.
Bonus Hidden Details:
Inside the orchard, check the left-hand side for a valve. Turning it activates one of the four blue flames outside the main house.
There’s also a small shack in the back. Look inside to find a groundskeeper’s book—a hint at the deeper lore unfolding in the game.
Gemstone Cavern & Utility Closet Puzzle Solution
If you manage to draft the Utility Closet on your first day, you’re in for a treat. It contains a colorful button puzzle that, once solved, unlocks a major reward.
Your Goal: Solve the puzzle to trigger a reward of two gemstones every day.
Step-by-Step Puzzle Guide (Colors Left to Right: Off, Blue, Green, White, Red, Purple)
This can feel overwhelming, but here’s a clean breakdown:
Start fresh: press each button once until they all turn green.
Hit either the first or last button to turn it blue.
Now, click the green button next to your new blue one—it should go red.
Press the blue again to change red to purple.
Tap the purple to switch it back to blue.
Repeat until five of six buttons are blue.
Shift the blue one spot over by pressing the lonely blue button.
Turn any grey button red by pressing it twice.
Tap the blue next to that red one to make purple.
Repeat until five buttons show purple.
Convert the remaining grey button to purple (tap three times).
Make button 4 white (press once).
Press button 5 to change it to blue.
Press button 6 repeatedly until it’s red.
Press 5 again, turning 6 to purple.
Keep hitting 5 until it becomes red.
Double-tap button 3 (button 3 turns grey, button 2 turns blue).
Press button 3 once more to make it green.
Finally, turn button 1 grey.
You’ve solved it and will now receive two gems every day. Plus, head outside and locate the cave — there’s a valve inside to light another blue flame tied to deeper in-game secrets.
Using the Utility Closet’s Breaker Box
The Utility Closet also gives access to a crucial control hub: the Breaker Box. Don’t overlook this, as it can impact several systems across the game world.
Here’s what toggling the right switches can do for you:
Disable Keycard System: Useful when combined with the Security Room. This allows you to bypass locked Keycard doors—especially useful in higher rank stages.
Enable Garage Door Power: Opens up a pathway to a valuable mid-game secret.
Cut Gymnasium Power: Prevents you from losing five daily steps, which otherwise drains your progress.
Enable Dark Room Lighting: Helps you navigate and find secrets (though note that the room resets to darkness every time you enter—you’ll need to re-enable it each time through the breaker).
