How to find the lock code for the Campsite in Blue Prince

Venture beyond Mt. Holly, and you’ll stumble upon a mysterious, locked Apple Orchard. True to Blue Prince fashion, clues are seemingly nonexistent, but there is a way to make things easier. Here’s how to solve the lock code near the campsite.

Blue Prince Apple Orchard lock solution

Those who exit the manor and head west will discover a locked gate near the campsite. The lock on the door requires you to enter four numbers. To solve this puzzle, you must complete these three objectives:

• Find a Magnifying Glass
• Set the Dark Room to On in the Breaker Box
• Analyze the picture in the Dark Room

You can complete each step in any order except for the task with the picture. The Dark Room photo is the key to discovering your distinct code for the Apple Orchard lock.

For the Magnifying Glass, you may get lucky and find it in the Parlor or Archives room. They won’t always be there, but you can at least try to see if it’s lying on the desk. Otherwise, you can stumble across it randomly, either as a reward or from the shop. I recommend exploring each room as best as possible, as items like this can be hidden on shelves or tables.

Your next goal is to find the Utility Closet with the Breaker Box. Set the Dark Room to ‘On,’ which keeps the lights on. The Dark Room is usually pitch black if you enter it, so this step will help you see things more clearly.

Once you’ve found the Magnifying Glass and have the lights on, you must find the Dark Room. Here, you’ll acquire a picture of the Apple Orchard. Use your Magnifying Glass on it to decipher code 1128. Unlike the Billiard room’s Dart puzzle, the answer for this will always remain the same.

What’s inside the Apple Orchard in Blue Prince?

After you’ve opened the door, the Apple Orchard will permanently be unlocked for the remainder of your Blue Prince playthrough, providing you with an additional 20 steps daily. That means you’ll get a total of 70 steps, which you can continue to increase with other buffs. However, you won’t gain these steps initially, so you’ll have to wait until the next day. You can also turn the gas valve nearby to activate a blue flame. You can find the other three blue flames around the establishment that will lead you to a new area.

Besides these two benefits, the Apple Orchard’s shed provides helpful hints on puzzles inside the manor, including details about the gas valve and secret rooms. Take note of these hints by writing them down or taking a picture. You never know when these clues might come in handy later on, so it’s a good idea to save them for future reference.
