Blue Prince Review - Roguelike Puzzle Heaven

If you're a fan of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes or Animal Well, Blue Prince will enthrall and frustrate you in equal measure.

This guide will tell you how to find the Gallery, give you hints for its several puzzles, and the answers if you’re still stuck.

How To Draft The Gallery Room

The Gallery room is one of the rarer plans in Mt. Holly, which means you may not find it in your draft pool in every run.

One way to make it more likely that you’ll see it is to draft the Library whenever you can, because rooms you draft from the Library are more likely to be uncommon. This will increase your chances of drawing it during your run.

How To Solve The Puzzles

To solve the Gallery puzzles, you have to name each of the paintings. Broadly, some starting clues are:

• All the names have a theme in common.
• Describing what you see in the paintings out loud may help you solve them.
• Look for visual clues, but know that not every detail is important.
• A thesaurus may help!
• When you’ve correctly solved a puzzle, something will happen in the room. If nothing happens, your answer is wrong.

The answers will be in expandable boxes. Don’t open these unless you want the answers!

Eight-Letter Puzzle

• This one is not as straightforward as it seems. Not everything is relevant.
