The Study is a room in Blue Prince, where you will come across a Safe that you’ll be keen to unlock. By this point in your adventure, you’re likely curious as to what’s inside, and you’d be right to be so. Unlocking safes allows you to piece together more of the puzzles and history that surround Mount Holly and the Sinclair family. Here at Loot Level Chill, we’ve spent hours on Blue Prince, and have unlocked all the safes in the game. As such we know a thing or two about how they operate. Read on to discover how you unlock the Study Safe in Blue Prince.
SPOILER WARNING
As with most things in Blue Prince, part of the fun is self-discovery, and below this spoiler warning we will be revealing plenty of secrets of the game. We encourage you to try and find out the solutions to puzzles on your own to get the full experience of Blue Prince. Only read on if you do not mind some of those secrets being spoiled.
Please bear in mind that some of these spoilers are for later in the game than some of our other guides, and spoil significant puzzles and areas you may not have discovered on your own. You have been warned.
What clues are there?
You can find all the clues to the code for the safe in the Study itself. The specific clue you need to pay attention to is the chessboard on the table in front of you as you enter the room. There is a single piece on it. How could we use that piece of information to deduce a date code for the Study Safe?
What is the code to the Study Safe in Blue Prince?
If you look closely at the chessboard, you’ll see a queen on the board. What we need to pay attention to specifically is which square on the board she is on. You’ll notice she is on square D8. How do we transfer D and 8 into a four-digit date code? Well the first is realising that the D is regarding the month, and the only month beginning with D is December, so D8 becomes the 8th of December. Given that we need to translate this into a date code, we’re either left with 0812 or 1208. Now, annoyingly, not all the safes in Blue Prince stick to the same date rules (MM/DD or DD/MM), but at least we can whittle it down to two options. In this instance, the correct code for the Study Safe is:
1208
What is in the Safe?
As with all the safes in Blue Prince, we receive a Red Letter, this one has a number 2 on it, and is a letter from Caleb to “M” discussing the heist. There is also, as usual, a Gem inside, as well as a new Floorplan: the Closed Exhibit room.
Congratulations you have opened the Study Safe in Blue Prince.
