The puzzle game, based on exploring rooms and solving puzzles, has an interesting way to make you look out for more than the puzzle icon while you draft your rooms. Each room has a hint toward Room 46, the true ending of the game (or is it?). Players are still discovering lots of secrets and more rooms, as the game takes almost 60 hours to finish, including all the achievements and trophies. Here is how you can be a step ahead by learning how to get more keys in Blue Prince.

Obtaining More Keys in Blue Prince

The puzzles in the rooms often provide you with various items and rewards to help you draft rooms and advance to higher ranks toward the ante chamber. For example, the early three-box puzzle often provides you with two gemstones that help you a lot in drafting rooms. Similarly, here are some rooms and puzzles you can explore and solve to obtain more keys in Blue Prince:

  • The dartboard puzzle drops you a key, or keys, depending on your run. Doing this puzzle every time helps you obtain an extra or two for your day. The puzzle is fairly easy. You just have to find a magnifying glass and look through the Nook to find hints about the dartboard puzzle. The puzzle becomes increasingly complex the more you solve it. Rare drops after completing the dartboard puzzle include a silver key, a Secret Garden Key, or even an electronic keycard!
  • The Commissary and the Locksmith are two different shops that might sell keys. The Commissary is randomized, and you might not always draft a Locksmith.
  • The Powered Electromagnet also helps you find keys. Once you enter a room, the item will collect any coins and keys present in the room. You can create the item by combining the Compass and a battery pack. Both of these items can be found in the Commissary if lucky, or in the Closet and other item rooms. Additionally, the Powered Electromagnet also helps increase the chances of drafting a mechanical room while equipped.
  • Specific deposit boxes will require you to put in the correct vault keys during a run. These vault keys are normally found in dead-end rooms, such as the Attic or Lost and Found rooms.
  • Only one in the game currently, the basement key sits atop a pedestal in the ante chamber. You can unlock the ante chamber through the Secret Garden, Green House or the Grand Hall.
